Artist McKinney
Title ME ME ME
Cat. No. ATT220
Format CD
Price £11.00

As Eve Magazine said, take the Rock Chick edge of Blondie, The femme-fatale style of P.J. Harvey and the pop attitude of Avril Lavigne and the result is an album that storms along and remains compelling listening.

Having had two singles taken off the album with plays on the influential station, BBC Radio 2, and gaining a reputation as a must see live act McKinney’s debut ME ME ME shows that Marc Ash is more than capable of putting the female rock contingent back on the map.

Title Surreal
Cat. No. ATT218
Format CD
Price £2.99

McKINNEY SURREAL (Attica) This is cool, this rules, McKinney make ultra sassy fuzzing fizzing slightly psychedelic grrrl pop rock. They got soul, real big soul, they got smile, real big smile. Locked on Motown drums, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club flavored psychedelia and they know when to take their foot off the pedal and refocus the drama ah yes pounding, edgy, seductive? A damn horny sound. They sound like they’re from California, they’re actually from Manchester, think Bangles with sassy fuzz, think Dandy Warhols locked on forward movement. This is very very cool, this really does rule. Perfect. Go find it this!...THE ORGAN

Title Fade Away EP

Format CD
Price £2.99
Sold Out

The final recordings of BFG with vocalist Steve Craig sees the band in one guise ready to shed its skin and revert to the noise that became BLUE. Probably Craig’s strongest lyrical outing, matched by thunderous drums and layered guitars, it is seen as a fitting final chapter for that incarnation of BFG.

Title Fathoms

Format CD
Price £2.99
Sold Out

Recorded in a day, this is the EP that brought BFG to a much wider audience. Containing the song that even now sounds like a whirlwind.
Chiming guitars that echo on in the mind long after the music stops still have the same effect and became a blue print for every guitar band with one foot still in Indie land.

Price £2.99

The first release to feature Steve Craig on vocals, Western Sky, despite the sandpaper texture of the production, saw the first indication of where Mike Simii was taking the band in the late 80’s. Strong vocal elements about first hand experience in Northern Ireland. Aching piano motives on Fall, and bulldozer guitars on Murder served notice that BFG were on the way to becoming indispensable.

Format CD
Price £2.99
Sold Out

How many times does a brand new band with little airplay sell out its first pressing in a week and within a month find copies the other side of the world changing hands for $30? Lambert's pummeling bass lines created a groove so huge that only skyscraper guitars and foundation shattering vocals could compete. This was the sound that mixed dance with Goth, with Rock, with the added edge of vocals just this side of sanity. Think Rammstein...only 18 years before.
