Steve Swift’s Rambling Reviews

The New Hellacopters Album Isn’t What You Might Expect!

It's a 70's excitement, not as tough as they have been, but really groovy and with a singer songwriter ease that is absolutely compelling. This is Hellacopters as not always known very well done...

Larkin Poe New Album! Never Been A Massive Fan, Will This Sway Me?..

It's a little bit Country, a little bit Rock n' Roll and sometimes I want a little bit more. Lots will love this and they're absolutely right to, it's really well done and perhaps I should love it...

It’s Called A Horror Film And ’Red Rooms’ Is Certainly Horrific, But Not In The Usual Way!

This is ominous and horrible. ostensibly the story of 2 women who are at the trial of an alleged young girl killer who filmed it for those who want to see it can do so via the web/net in a 'Red Room'. But it isn't just about that, it's even more disturbing, as we move to the expected ending, which is a real moment of hope. Subtitled and set in Montreal, this French-speaking movie is engrossing and brilliant, but very grubby...

Memphis Wrestling! ’Diarhhea’ Taylor’ had me, and Terrence Ward, laughing!

And that's the highlight of a weird Memphis Wrestling with sicky promo, messy tag match and scattering crowd...

EPW, A Tight Little Wrestling Programme!

Women's grappling action, cheating naughtiness, thr champ goes it alone and James Ellsworth has a good guest spot. EPW has all it needs to entertain you muchly...

Holy Christ! Michael Elliott From NAWA Wrestling Talks To Steve Swift’s Rambling Reviews!

The man at the centre of NAWA, the commentator who has been there for all nearly 400 episodes. I had to speak to him and he was a lovely and very entertaining Wrestling officianado...

WWF Superstars from May 1991! And not all squash matches!

But mostly squashes, Bushwhackers, Boss Man, Undertaker and Rowdy Roddy Piper v the Model. and next week Smash on his own. Eh?..

Is the Diamond Dave Comeback Album Any Good?

J remember thinking 'Phew!' because it was fun and was a return to him enjoying himself, but it's almost 20 years ago and will my mind have changed or is this an album of no expectations and absolute enjoyment...

Night Flight Orchestra Are Back! Hip hop blooming ray!

I never thought, after mainspring David Andersson's death, that they would return. But Bjorn Strid and the band are back! I've head the album and it's brilliant, a synth-led superbness (is that a word?) I've also interviewed Bjorn so understand the struggles they had. this 3 song snippet shows just how great the new music is...

Matt Berry New Album Is Stupendous! if only I could stop thinking of him as ’Toast Of London’...

This is Prog and Folk and Rock and Jazz and absolutely brilliant. Matt Berry is not afraid of touching lots of music here, even getting dramatic l; he might struggle to escape from the comedy others like me placed him in, but by gum I hope not.
