Later... Even Louder by Jools Holland (DVD, 2005) Region 4&2.

The last few years have been good for rock from the dark side.

Sure, there's plenty of polite, middle-of-the road, so-called

'rock' out there but, equally, there's been a resurgence of bands

with the bass slung low, the eyeliner pencil on overdrive and the

threads mostly leaning to black. Bands that kick ass with an arty

edge, bands that somehow imply that life and death matter but

who are also prone to wonder whether they really give a f**k?

The Cure are back in fashion, John Cale, Sonic Youth and even

Metallica are all acknowledged as Godfathers of this dark, arty

rock and here they are rubbing shoulders with break-though

bands like The Killers, The Bravery and Interpol. The 'Later'

studio has provided a welcome pit-stop for these bands as they

move between the dark halls and the festivals and this collection

rocks as hard as you like, amps up to max, drummers who know

how to hit a kit and a sense of electricity in the air. From Green

Day to Nick Cave with all dark storms and big personalities in

between (take a bow Courtney Love, Bobby Gillespie and Perry

Farrell), here's 'Later…Even Louder'
