Issue 6 Sounds Preview

Who says we're tied to the 90s? This month we have a bit of craic with a couple of indie and grunge icons as Graham Coxon and Mudhoney main man Mark Arm get down to brass tacks. Nick Cave pens and scores The Proposition while Roots Manuva gets Alternately Deep. The Young Knives, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Skin and The Secret Machines talk recreating that fleeting moment in the studio and Placebo big up Radio 3, then the going gets dark for Quasi and a little bit weird for Josh Ritter. White Rose Movement discuss pigeonhole evasion and Defjux rhymster Cage gives us ten of the best. We also manage to catch up with local lassies and lads Skeleton Bob and The Lords of Bastard and lay some downloadable wisdom on your ass with The Gramophone, but not before bombarding you with the latest Edinburgh and Glasgow gig news, plus a slew of the latest live, single and album reviews. Dig in, goddammit, it's free, remember? Sounds begins on p.30.
