On their previous releases, recorded as collaborative affairs with The Mission’s Wayne Hussey and The Awakening’s Ashton Nyte, the music from Beauty In Chaos took on a distinctly goth influence. This double shot from Michael Cirovolo and friends takes on an entirely different guise. Not only does Cirovolo take the helm instead of enlisting a high profile guest vocalist but, musically, the material takes a huge swerve into a musical landscape that fans mightn’t expect.

THE HALF-CUBES – My Girl / Someday
This two track release from The Half-Cubes is, in power pop terms, pure gold. Its pedigree is assured thanks to two different aspects. Firstly, as their name suggests, this band are made up from half of power pop legends The Flashcubes and, secondly, the tracks featured are both re-workings of classics from the Eric Carmen catalogue. Although neither track has been drastically rethought, both sound great with a brighter production sound than Carmen’s original recordings were ever afforded. ‘My Girl’, in particular, plays like a genre classic for 2024, despite its mid 70s vintage.
