All But Gentlemen

Based in Kilmarnock, Scotland, I only know of these guys from a Facebook Games connection to the drummer's late father

So when I was asked to comment on their musical creation I was a little apprehensive. I mean, I have been sent demos and gone to gigs on the basis of knowing someone in the band and not really liked what they had to offer- heck, I was even in that band on TWO occasions!

But when this came through my Facebook feed today I held the same misgivings, despite having already heard their previous track which I reviewed thus:

You know when you learn of a friend's venture into music: you think, hmmm, OK I'll nod and smile and be polite..yeh, not that!
ABG Talk Is Cheap it a nicely crafted and well-polished item from Killmarnoch-based All Bur Gentlemen. Boasting influences like Twin Atlantic, Little Eye, Biffy Clyro, and Jimmy Eat World, this young Scottish four-piece is set to go places. And no, that's not because I know one of themAll But Gentlemen "Talk Is Cheap"- Four Stars

This review was never published because I wanted to get a hold of the EP and write about the whole thing. It still includes the typos, which is how rough the review is!

Anyway, this is the band's first video

My comments, by way of a spoiler, are

"Get onto and behind these guys now. Such a polished performance for such a young band!"

Do so!!!

Music Reviews Website (Post 1.0)

Wow!

Just when I thought I'd lost the contents of my music reviews website with the demise of Geocities, I found, by accident, that it is alive and well under the guise of Reocities!

My reviews from days of html 1.0 to March 2003 are all there, at http://www.reocities.com/p_terg/ ... I had no idea!

So there you have it! My netizen presence continues
