The flesh of any art should always be ripe, ready to consume, appealing to the eye and one that draws you in to see below the surface, wanting to devour the core, to drain the pulp and squeeze the very life out of it so that you can feel the soul being refreshed; much like the attraction of a succulent fruit on offer in a grocers shop, we are pulled in by the vision, no matter what the underneath may contain.

Rock in all its form is not just a varying degree of sound and sub genres, it is an expression of underlaying anger shrouded with beauty, it is the death of boredom, the extinguishing of the beige, and the erasing of languid tedium. In the heat of this beating communication the pulse raises, the fire that was on the verge of being stubbed out, suddenly reignites because of the infectious sound that hits us hard in the face with a slap, and holds us with the ferocity of love; and whilst some might exclaim it as noise, those souls caught in its incredible crossfire can only say Let’s Call It Rock ‘N’ Roll.

Freedom is an illusion in our modern day society, only in our thoughts can we truly be at rest from the constant attack on our souls, on our beliefs, and even then the powers that be will always find a way to turn you into a criminal; the thought police, so envisioned by the great George Orwell, are only ever a step away from complete control.

What we miss is Discipline in every avenue of life, it is not a matter of authoritarian control but a state of being that oversees our potential, the person we can be if we master both chaos and consistency as one equal partner, if we can feel the inspiration and creation in one visual exercise of unregulated ambition.
For the foursome that make up the Finnish band Headphone Jacks, Jaakko Anttonen, J-P Herlevi, Riku-Pekka, Aleksi Lappalainen, Discipline is the product of what many would consider an anarchic affair of finding a beat in session, but which actually is the depth of feeling given space to treat the individuality of the moment and incorporate it into a dramatic group event.

Anniversaries are meant to be a joyous occasion, especially in the face of achievement and the reaching of goals which have opened the eyes of the public and offered them light whilst we are constantly told to relish the shadows.

Beware the Caller who knocks with hands unwashed and that are wrapped in closed fists, and shake the hand of those with velvet gloves and the willingness to open your eyes and mind; it could be seen as a prejudice to admit but keeping your hands from the dirt and the damage is the cornerstone of having a soul that can just as innocent and willing to listen to a new point of view, a sound that is as unexpected as that which raps on the door at midnight holding champagne in their velvet gloves.

The legions of war must fall silent in order to assert peace in which to regroup and put the sword to the disciples of hatred; but first we must always send in those troops to who have the patience to appear when the world needs them most, those angels dressed in swathes of undisputed talent and raw emotions to whom the Legions Of Tomorrow hold no fear.
The back story to the Finnish Death Metal group, Messiah Paratroops is one that reads of perseverance and the refreshing notion that belief in one’s own destiny can attain a high level of integrity and legendary status.

The clamour and the disturbance of the air as the combination of legends meets should come with a warning for the unaware and ignorant that serious listening may damage your ill-concieved perceptions.
For in the uproar across a small divide of talent and history which fuses together in a way that was polished and unexpected as Iron Maiden’s Adrian Smith and the prodigy and multi- talented American artist Richie Kotzen, and once again cause mayhem and beauty in equal measure for the senses as the genius of their second collaboration, Black Light/White Noise, seizes the initiative and coaxes the soul of the listener from its shell with the force of giant thunderstorm gathering ominously overhead.

A second season of The Marlow Murder Club was always on the cards, but sometimes popular doesn’t always reach into the depths of the crime that begs to be solved by the armchair detective; sometimes the presented piece is too warm, too cosy to be anything other than a distraction offered with the best intentions of drama.
