Reviews
''Classic Rock n' Roll, but with a 21st century twist.
These boys from Bellshill are definitely going places... Its old school rock and roll here folks, with a mix of blues and unrestricted writing. These guys don’t hold back in their lyrics. Basically they are catchy, captivating and blooming good fun, a breath of fresh air. They definitely have potential. Their local papers support them and the turn out for their gig was pretty impressive. Everyone was dancing towards the end of their set. They are relentlessly working towards higher plateaus and will most definitely get there if they keep this kind of performance up.''

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Welcome on Rock-interviews guys ! Have you seen my video interviews ? We have some friends in common (Wishbone Ash for example...) Have a nice day, Cheers from France Anne-Marie
Thanks for the add. May all the Mangooloids unite & cheers from Finland. Our debutalbum "Neolithic" is out now on 7:45 Records. Stay strong. Pickles/Mangoo
