Oxford music reviews

Steve Earle @ Carling Academy
10/06/2008 10:32:49
During Saturday night's show at the Carling Academy, I overheard someone behind me say: "Steve Earle - best songwriter in the world. After Dylan, that is."

Little Man Tate @ Carling Academy
23/05/2008 09:58:48
If you're going to name your band after a movie, it's probably best not to go for one with such a duff title as Little Man Tate.

Wood Festival @ Braziers Park
22/05/2008 10:01:58
Wood, the brand new eco-friendly festival brought to you by people who give us the Truck Festival each year, was held 16-18 May in the lush surrounds of Braziers Park, near Wallingford.

Gogol Bordello @ Hammersmith Apollo
17/12/2007 11:39:23
More than a band, Gogol Bordello are a force of nature.

From the Jam @ The Carling Academy
10/12/2007 11:43:19
Six months ago, I finally got to see The Jam 25 years after they split up, in their new guise as From The Jam.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club @The Carling Academy, Oxford
10/12/2007 11:40:42
Dark, brooding, spaced-out and powerful, no one does fuzzed-up psych-rock like the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Their deep West Coast acid rock is the soundtrack to late nights in smoke filled basements or mashed-up festivals.
