The new offering by Lamb of God won’t be to everybody’s taste. It won’t, for example, spend weeks at the top of the British charts. It won’t by any stretch of the imagination be nominated for any awards by fans of those who find the mass appeal of manufactured music and distorted view of the 21st Century version of celebrity exciting.

It’s funny what two years can do to a band. The name may have changed and given a more definitive harder edge. The group may no longer be known as Hippies on the Hill and now go by the more heavy rock sounding Guardians but the sound and the attitude is most certainly some of the finest Liverpool has produced in the last few years.

If you are going to visit the The Lowry Theatre in Salford for the first time then it’s best to make the most of your time on stage. Hugh Cornwell has been around in the music scene for a long time, he’s seen it sang it and sold the tee-shirts by the lorry load, in terms of music he stands out as one of the greats but even the greats have a first night somewhere.

It’s long been mooted, chewed over, discussed and debated but the simple fact is that the B.B.C. and in particular those in charge of programming in the 1980’s woefully let down the legion of fans of Doctor Who and more importantly the sixth man to play the Time lord, Colin Baker.

The Kaiser Chiefs have got to be classed as one of the complete bands to emerge in the last 20 years. No matter how big and popular the Yorkshire lads have got, they look and play the part well of a band who are at home in a huge stadium, such as the Liverpool Echo Arena as they are in one of the many Academy venues dotted around the country.

It’s been a long time coming and you pretty much know what you are going to get, but if you’re a fan of Van Halen it won’t stop you buying and revelling in the new album A Different Kind of Truth.

There’s nothing quite like a forgotten old gem to make you sit and take notice. When you tag that onto the Liverpool legend giving a new life to the tune, your perspective suddenly changes. You can end up digging through other timeless and wonderful songs that have sadly been neglected by a society that has moved on and away from its own soul. This is the result of Paul McCartney and the new take of old songs in Kisses on the Bottom.

Looking back at an album’s life can be unnerving. It reminds you of where you and what you were doing when you became conscious of the first notes of a debut record by a new and extraordinary fresh band. The time on the albums credits are indication to the passing of your own life, the mortality that’s attached to your love of the record. You treasured the time together, you poured out your own soul and fears whilst listening to the poetry and distinctive music of someone else.

There can be no better sight than of a much loved band coming back to their home, to where they belong and giving such an astounding performance that it blows everything out of the water. Ian Broudie may be understated and private but there is no doubting his ability, his dedication to Liverpool and some of the best music to have dominated the musical airwaves for the best part of five decades.

It is fitting that Barry should host this night at Parr Street, with a new album coming out soon, Barry has long been one of the musicians that Liverpool loves, in that he always gives back to the city just as much as he gets out of it.
