Stone Roses axe man (do I still have to write that every time) John Squire has a new album out on Monday... the playing sounds quite pleasant, if not adventurous, but the vocals are like Kelly Jones after he's been on intensive cigarette testing pro...

Some REVIEWS

South - Paint The Silence (single)Starting off a bit like Doves, yeah yeah, then a bit of Beta Band creeps in, then before you realise it, we have the Stone Roses! They're not copyists or anything, but this title track has a massive loopy, dopey, dru...

Camden Underworld

Reni out of the Stone Roses and his band... was looking forward to this a lot, but it was absolutely shocking.

My first gig with nme.com, I started work there that weekend. I left part way through the worst ever Stone Roses performance (OK, the only time I saw them)....
