Every horror fan has their favorite type of monster. Some people love shambling zombies, others prefer squid-faced aliens from beyond the stars, and I’m sure there are a few people out there who would swear that The Mangler is the greatest beast to grace the silver screen. But for me, one archetype has always reigned supreme: the scaly fish-man.
I can’t explain why, but ever since I was a kid, sea life has always interested me, so it should come as no surprise that as far as famous monsters go, the Gill-man’s always been my favorite. Unfortunately, being a fan of the Gill-man can lead to some issues. Unlike Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy, the Gill-man was an original creation of Universal, and as such, was not in the public domain. So, while there are many great films bearing those iconic names, the Creature from the Black Lagoon only has three,...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Firstly that isn’t a spelling error and this band shouldn’t be compared to the French town that they share their name with. Maybe they added the extra xx’s to avoid copyright infringement? All suggestions welcomed.
Only Fiction is the band’s first release which they call a mini-album. It only has 7 tracks but they are incredibly well written, produced and performed. All of this professionalism comes from a fairly small band who started in Surrey. Not something you would normally expect… I’ve also been lucky enough to see these guys live and I was not disappointed. If they are playing anywhere near where you live, go and see the 5 piece that is Bordeauxxx.
The album came out on the 24th September for the princely sum of £4 for the digital version, and £5 if you want it on a CD. An incredibly reasonable price...
