The good stuff... The stuff we like! You need this in your life... Its the big dogs.... Blowing up UK... (explosion noise)

FOO FIGHTERS ‘'In Your Honour' is one helluva of a rock beast, easily their heaviest album yet, rippling uncontrollably like a tank of starving piranhas, laden with the Foo's delightful signature hooks and sufficiently dripping with their trademark, snarling melodies. And then of course there is the Acoustic album, genuinely a work of sheer, unadulterated, pure beauty. It even boasts a collaboration with Norah Jones, a track written and sung by Taylor, with Dave on drums and John Paul Jones guests on a couple of tracks too, what more could you possibly want?

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND ' Hours' Funeral For A Friend's ferocious live show and commitment to touring has led to their winning Best Newcomer at the Kerrang Awards, 3 consecutive Top 20 singles, support with Iron Maiden in Europe and Linkin Park in America, being the first UK band to get a release on the uber-cool US indie Ferret, progressing from an opening slot in the Concrete Jungle tent at 2003’s Reading Festival to headlining the prestigious second stage last year. Album number two, ‘Hours’ is a stunning record of emotional highs and lows, with a dynamic edge few acts can compare to, and contains the amazing single ‘Streetcar’.

THE WHITE STRIPES 'Get Behind Me Satan'
The enigmatic duo of Jack and Meg White is back, with ‘Get Behind Me Satan’, the hugely anticipated fifth album from The White Stripes. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Jack White himself, the album contains the raucous hit single ‘Blue Orchid’. However, out of the original thirteen compositions on the album, recorded in an amazing 14 days, only three are electric guitar based- the majority of the album being written on piano, acoustic guitar and marimba.

The Cure 'The Greatest Hits' (Rock) The Cure have always displayed an ingenious skill for fusing the melancholic with the melodic. Following a zigzag path between pop and the avant-garde, tempting victims into dark, melodic valleys that transform into gleaming plateaus illuminated by symphonic strings and carefree pop structures. Spanning their twenty-five year twenty album career - from early classics such as 'Boys Don't Cry' and 'A Forest', through the edgy pop of 'Why Can't I Be You?' and 'Just Like Heaven' - This is the definitive Cure collection
