The last time I reviewed Fontaines D.C. I was disappointed. Starburster – from their 4th album Romance – has restored my faith. However, I stand by my analysis of their ball skills; they leave much to be desired. Full video: https://youtu.be/KHocVRUlvkk?si=VdkBQC4zuX8eA7-w For my guide to Keepy Uppies – using not […]
BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy have collaborated on “Ratatata” – but is it any good? It’s lighting up the algorithms, so millions of viewers can’t be wrong. Can they? What does it mean? Are they having a laugh? What do you think? Full video: https://youtu.be/EDnIEWyVIlE?si=A3hKgsfu7587bnGC Talk to me on Patreon or […]
The Sprints are a ‘Garage Punk’ band from Ireland and having listened to them for the very first time, and all things considered, I think they’re Awesome. They also surprised me…..

This isn’t the first time I’ve reviewed Amyl and the Sniffers, but it is the first time I’ve reviewed them remotely: I’m currently on tour with The Darkness. “U Should Not Be Doing That” is Amyl and the Sniffers’ first release since their 2021 album “Comfort To Me”. I love […]
I’m on the road again this week on my Shirtless Season Festival Tour of Europe with The Darkness. I’ll be reviewing some of the bands featured on the lineups. PAIN’s ‘Go With The Flow’ is taken from their latest album ‘I am’. Apologies for confusing the name of the album […]
This week I’m reviewing Extreme’s “Beautiful Girls”. I’ve always admired Extreme. They are supreme musicians and I count certain members of the band as friends, so it gives me no pleasure to say this; I do not like this. At all.

Mötley Crüe have once again been hit by claims of fakery – this time over Esteemed guitarist and friend John 5’s alleged air guitar technique. He says it’s simply not true and if he says that, I believe him. Footnote – more apologies for the in-video, video blur; we were […]
This week, I’m reviewing Favourite by Fontaines D.C. I was asked to do this by you – my dear YouTube viewers – in the Comments section. I do read them you know. Warning: If triggered by pausing and snatches of track, please visit the link below to watch/listen to the […]
This week, I’m reacting to Ingrid Andress and her recent performance of the “Star-Spangled Banner” at the Home Run Derby. There were a lot of negative headlines – even after she explained the reasons behind it. Were any of them deserved? For Behind The Scenes footage, tips on ball skills […]
This week I’m discussing ticket prices after a spat broke out in the press and online over what some described as “astronomical” costs to see Sabrina Carpenter at her forthcoming UK shows. She’s not the only artist to be hit with criticism about prices and whilst it can be an […]
