THE YOUNG KNIVES TAKE OVER ARTROCKER.COM!

Hello friends of Artrocker. It’s the Young Knives here, we are taking over Artrocker.com for a bit and boring you all with our views on all the latest releases out on Cd and 7inch vinyl.

We will also be reviewing some demos of unsigned bands, writing some articles and doing a brief interview about ourselves. So get ready for that because we are really interesting and give great copy.

We have had a really great time sat here in the office eating chocolates and sipping champagne whilst a ghost writer makes a rough estimate of what our real opinion might be. Awesome… being in a rock band is brilliant. You should all try it some time.

We have also picked a subject from the air for which we have written a short article. Henry has done a recipe and House has written some diatribe about trendy underground bands. Oliver is being secretive about his article…I bet it’s about drums. Boring.

Ok well. I hope you all enjoy our takeover. Lots of love. The Young Knives.
