.Ireland's Fight Like Apes splatter their debut album on an unsuspecting record-buying public this month like Day-Glo paint. Singer Maykay makes like Jemina Pearl with added Celtic sass (and swears) on each of these 12 tracks, while her band spews out kaleidoscopic synth-punk reminiscent of Le Tigre. Recyclable Ass sounds almost like Come On Eileen fed through a computer processor, while, lyric...

Fight Like Apes are an incredible band. They are most certainly a breath of fresh air, a release from formulaic made-for-radio songs that we've become so familiar with. Each track hits you with a mighty riff, piercing guitars and a somewhat unexpected female vocalist who has the rare ability of saturating her voice with raw, uncontrived emotion.

I've often felt that, on occasion, it would be nice to wake up as someone really handsome. You know, it would be cool to wake up and find you'd turned into Thierry Henry, or George Clooney, and you could spend your day swanning around playing football or starring in movies for your hip director pals.

John Lennon said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. So what does that make Westlife? In Ireland they outsell the Beatles in albums, singles, and that most important market, ringtones. Put that in your hash pipe and smoke it, Lennon, you big sacrilegious hippy.If anybody out there is unlucky enough to have never heard Westlife, then rush out immediately and buy one of their CDs. It doesn’t matt.

We’re in Spain for a festival, what could possibly go wrong? Thoughts of Benacassim being unaffected by the weather are immediately dismissed with the festival organisers cancelling headliners Kings of Leon and the majority of music due to severe winds and a huge fire to the right of the Main Stage (see NME.com video below).…
