When Mclusky went boom, two new bands popped up. There's Future Of The Left on the one hand and Jon Chapple's Shooting At Unarmed Men on the other. The band's debut was recorded in just three days and their second release was called "Yes, Tinnitus". Do I really need to spell it out? This is one intense band that doesn't like to fuck around.

Nothing these guys do is normal... "Triptych" has 13 songs divided over three CD's. Not the most 'green' thing to do but a good thing nonetheless. Seeing as you can really use the bit of quiet you get when switching the CD. Dropping bombshells left and right and then giving those bombshells names like "Sometimes The Best Thing You Can Do Is Die" or "Happy Birthday Placenta"... yeah, I think it's fair to day I like this band. And if I read a line like 'your Dear John letter had grammatical errors and failed to mention that you're a cunt' then I'm completely sold. You're next.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
