This is a living, breathing beast of an album

Boozy and deranged, Insult to Injury is how the new Franz record ought to sound
VICE, UK

Their freshest and most subtly intoxicating work to date
OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY, UK

They sound wired, edgy, boozy and as dangerous as ever, like a new band full of that energy that comes with those first moves and not a band who’ve been doing this since the start of punk. Robert Lloyd really shouldn’t be this good after all these years, should he?
THE ORGAN, UK

The new album from the ‘Gales is their finest for 27 years. Start here and work backwards
SUNDAY TIMES, UK

The new DUFUS album, “In Monstrous Attitude” is now available!

It features a three piece band comprised of Seth Faergolzia, Anders Griffen and Alex Coronado, mixed and mastered by Kramer, with a 12 page comic style book of artwork by Jeffrey Lewis

Moozim.com offers the opportunity for EVERY band and artist to have their own, fully functional website for just £3 per month and we think that’s great considering the price of web design and hosting!

Moozim has never had any form of funding or government support and we do not wish to pursue any in the future.

Mark E Smith described “the Midlands mentality” in ‘Kimble’. Robert Lloyd has always had that in spades, from the punk days of the Prefects to the Nightingales (first time round), through his Vindaloo label and solo career (remember the great ‘Power of the Anchor’ single?) and back again to the Nightingales, who reformed in 2004. Like Smith, Lloyd is the charismatic frontman/ choirleader/ taskmaster who makes it all happen for his band and I’m pleased to report that Insult to Injury is probably as good as the Nightingales have ever been. It’s certainly, by some distance, the best of their post-reformation albums, with the same maverick mix of post-punk, Krautrock, skronky Beefheartian rhythms, rockabilly looseness plus Lloyd’s poetic observations on the absurdity of everyday life……

When an album leaks online before it arrives in stores

Birmingham based Death Punk. Like a demonic Black Bloc storming the stock exchange with baseball bats, this album belts out of the speakers and storms around the room taking no prisoners

An interesting site to find out more about underground bands. it's more a discography site but useful if you want more information about a band.

DJ at MWR – www.musicworldradio.com – usually spinning weird punk, psychobilly & odd indie stuff mixed with some outragious 80s synth… Originally danish, living in Spain ( Javea ).

Anyone with a taste for weird tunes and rotten relics. Bands wanting some airplay, grooving venues or what not…get in touch

Jay Reatard : Since the release of the debut album from his first band, The Reatards, back when he was only seventeen, Jay (from Memphis, Tennessee) has redefined the word prolific by clocking up fifteen further album releases with various bands as well as one solo album, the mind-blowing ‘Blood Visions’ (In The Red, 2006). In spite of the long string of dead punk band carcasses, people are only starting to notice Jay’s insane talent. Hot shit in his homeland, expectation for his forthcoming European tour is close to fever pitch and he’s recently just signed a long-term deal with Matador Records who released six 7” singles in quick succession through the summer of 2008 and for those not hung up on collecting, a compilation release of them followed later in the year.

Burn fm is holding a BOTB with a few other societies (Rock Society, Band Society) and Vale Fest, a charity festival entirely run by students. Any profits from the £5 ticket price will go towards the Vale Festival charities.
