What is it they say about a week in politics? Well a week in Rock and Roll can fly by or if you listen to prog it could seem like an eternity.\u00a0 Here at RPM we’ve barely been alive a week and already we’ve managed to carry a couple of really good interviews with bands you really should check out in the shape of The Hip Priests<\/a> and from Italy The Idol Lips<\/a> and their Noo Yawk style punk n roll.\u00a0 The Hip Priests gave us the exclusive title of their soon to be released album ‘Stand For Nothing’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Keep an eye out as we also carry a review from one of their recent UK shows with The Bitch queens and Deathtraps over the next week Easily one of the best bands currently making a noise anywhere God bless The Hip Priests. Interview here.<\/a><\/p>\n

As for those punk n rollers from Italy\u00a0they just want to rock like their idols they might be outta scene but they just keep going and when you hear them you’ll understand why.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for live reviews, we got off to a great start unlike our Nev who went to Bristol to catch The The<\/a> but we ended up saying There There due to some poor organisation from the promoters that took the shine off a great performance One to forget as far as venues go catch up here<\/a>\u00a0or better still pick up some The The here here<\/a><\/p>\n

In other live action Ben had far better luck with his venues and bands by the sounds of it as he caught up with The Urban Voodoo Machine<\/a> they performed two sets to celebrate fifteen years in the murky business of show business he also took in the wonderful sounds of Eureka Machines when they did a show to celebrate ten years of mucking about writing some songs playing them then hanging around and even releasing some records and playing killer shows like this one!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for reviews, the RPM team turned in some stellar\u00a0pieces as we covered bands such as Leigh’s\u00a0excellent opinion on the Quireboys\u00a0Reissue of ‘Homewreckers and Heartbreakers’\u00a0<\/a>or if you fancied something a bit louder then Fraser took in some Nashville Pussy<\/a> and even managed to ‘Suck It’<\/a> with Eddie Spaghetti and the boys from Supersuckers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking the proud position of being the first album to see the light of day and exclusively\u00a0reviewed on RPM was the debut solo album from Rich Ragany & The Digressions<\/a> one that I’m sure will reap the rewards it thoroughly\u00a0deserves.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the US we brought you Shanda And The Howlers<\/a>\u00a0and Paul Collins<\/a>\u00a0who both have new records that will be must own for lovers of great songwriting. With two very distinctive styles they both deserve to hit a wider audience.<\/p>\n
