1. Doesn't Matter Anyway 2. Closure
"Doesn't Matter Anyway," rides a choppy guitar riff from verse to chorus over rolling bass lines and solid drumming to deliver a gem of female alt-rock as tasty as anything put out there since the Go-Go's. This is a hummable, danceable, singable, pogo-able, head bop-able, slab of prime indy pop. Great hooks, great chops. Beautiful, nuanced, emotive vocals without being whiny or snotty. It's all there, and it's about as damn near perfect as you'll find. Then, as loose and choppy as "Doesn't Matter Anyway," was "Closure," shows immediately that these girls aren't one-trick ponies. Trading the alt-punk roots for a deeper, denser vibe, "Closure," flows out like some female Cure. Deep plowing bass lines lead to the big crunch of the chorus, highlighted by some tasty drum fills. Listen to the guitar tone here, it's ear-grabbing, and makes it no surprise that frontwoman Maha just signed an endorsement deal with Marshall. Yeah, just go ahead and forget anything that sound like hype or gimmick about this band. I friggin' love these girls. Rock hasn't been this much fun in ages. --Racer" The Ripple Effect

Guitar Magazine Quotes "......Singing sultress Maha has a sly Danielle Dax type of voice that suits the eastern minor keys of The Vision a treat, and if she wasn't bouncing catawauling cacophony off the wall from her guitar, we daresay there'd be some vampy hand movements, too..... you've got yourself one bewitching number" www.thekut.co.uk

Lowstar - 'Lowstart' EP CRIM1002CD.
Criminal Records presents the debut EP ‘Lowstart’ from exciting new band Lowstar. Based in London, this electric four-piece have been thrilling their ever-growing audiences for just over a year with the energised noise they have built around their addictive melodies. Lead off track, ‘Out of Control’, with its reflective start and typhoon ending, encapsulates the Lowstar sound - sometimes subdued, sometimes enraged, sometimes pure, but always full of melody, creativity and emotion. ‘Autumn’ demonstrates experimental guitar, haunting vocals and the work of a great drummer in the realm of moody indie. Recommended.

Music, well ahead of its time, Les Figurines confirm their alternative edge with their must have EP. Track ‘Hysterical’ demonstrates what we love the best about these guys and is also featured on ‘The Criminal Sessions’ compilation.

Bush, while track ‘Envy’ involves soothing guitar licks, strong vocals and a dramatic journey through a mix of euphoria and anger. This is a must have.
