Outsider Italy Vinilo y CD

Review: This multi-volume series captures various different parts of one of the many seminal gigs that UK indie sad-sacks The Cure played around the world. In particular, this captures the action from a legendary night in Leipzig, Germany. Much like the first two volumes, the third is a brilliantly well received album that is alive with energy and the rawness of the gig but never at the expense of any of the frets of melodies. From 'In Your House' to original classics like '10:15 Saturday Night' and the enduring favourite 'Boys Don't Cry', this is a great record of a great band in great form.

Review: During the 1980s, The Redskins became a celebrated English band. Next to their highly danceable indie output, they were also known for left-wing politics and a bold skinhead image. This new compilation, as the title suggests, brings together some rarities and hard to find tracks from their heyday. Elements of soul, rockabilly, pop and punk rock all inform their tracks and breath new life into the new wave and post punk forms they work in. Highlights include the strident 'Reds Strike The Blues' and fierce 'Young & Proud.'
