I am not surprised that many of us
survived the way that Shakeamaker
dealt with us,
I am astonished
that we did so without looking the maniac
in the eye and resisting all temptation
to punch him in the stomach
with our tiny eight year old hands
and screaming with our lungs
fit to burst, our lungs still blaring
as if mimicking the sirens
that disclosed the approach of the bombs
that rained down and the aftermath
in which we played in as children;

To each generation the prospect of strife, hardship and being looked down upon a despicable Government is a very real and frightening prospect. For the current younger generation who have lived through what was called with vigour and dishonesty, a credit crunch, a decline or even a slowdown in the economy but will perhaps be given its rightful name of the great Depression of the 21st Century as history unfolds. Three Minute Hero’s latest single, In This Generation, looks deep into the eyes of those that have caused such misery and want and shows the world exactly what despair he sees in the hate filled iris’.

Film and music are so intrinsically linked together that sometimes it is easy to forget just how much they would be missed if separated, torn apart and left to fend for themselves.
For the sensational Liverpool band Science of the Lamps and in particular the woman behind the thought process and cohesive story-telling, film is a logical move. The band’s latest song, Lonely, sits up there with the very best of the Nordic tales that they have written and provides the perfect backdrop for the new feature film My Lonely Me.

It is perhaps a standard that many of us are loathe to do, the action of being able to say to someone with no uncertain terms that their company is not wanted because they make you feel ill, inadequate or they fill you with the a type of unhealthy fear of being aside if they weren’t there to bug you. It is the action of fore and after thought that some people are able to get under your skin, make the surface layer of your very being feel as though it crawling with the sign of the desperate need to be liked that we forget that in their non-handshake, their snide remarks and back-handed compliments, that in the end they don’t need us, don’t even like us, so why persist?
The day I found that ship wrecked
pound note, the eye of the Queen
giving me a warning glance or the drifting
smile of a woman I will never meet,
like the furtive teasing of a model
stripped down to the waist that adorned
the tossed away magazines and that got caught
in the branches of the Willow trees
that lined sentry still on display
on the banks of the River Rae,
on the dusty pavement
on the bridge
that separates Moor Green Lane
and Dad’s Lane…

When anyone thinks of Devon, arguably the last thing that will go through their minds as an answer is the world of Metal, unless of course they are into the study of ancient Archaeology and then that perhaps is a step too far for even the power and carnage that awaits the gentile and patient as the music of Sanguine fills the air and the passion of Social Decay kicks the sand and dig sites away and replaces it with raw and undiluted anger.

At times it feels as though there has been a large glass ceiling put between what has happened before and the 21st Century bands trying to break through and at least assert some measure of modern day experience and the seeking of truth in every music genre across the board.
