That Petrol Emotion, Hinterland, The Four of Us, Something Happens, A House and everyone else we saw at the SFX/ Mandela Hall/ Limelight. What else should be on the definitive late 80s/ early 90s (post TJT U2) golden age of Irish rock? http://open.spotify.com/user/hoeyp/playlist/1fJXTYLSRAZ3ivDJIiLdxR Inspired by the brilliant Glasgow playlist here.

The nature of John Peel's programmes makes any attempt to recreate a Peel show on record likely to wind up with a strange and beautiful compilation album; it's hard to picture any other concept for a compilation winding up with this sort of collection: Small Faces, Thin Lizzy, Aswad, The Damned, Medicine Head, The Jam, The Slits, Funboy Five, The Cure, Linton Kwesi Johnson, That Petrol Emotion, Extreme...

by Bill Pearis There's always one band at SXSW that makes you do a double-take when you see them on the schedule. For me it was That Petrol Emotion, who were popular in the late '80s (on college radio at...

Announced today is the release of Kats Karavan a 4-CD deluxe set charting the history of John Peel’s iconoclastic shows spanning 5 decades from the late 1960s until his sad and untimely death in 2004. Champion of the obscure and unheard, he introduced whole generations of teenagers to new music and gave hundreds of bands their first mainstream broadcasts. Drawing material right up until John’s...

Been listening to this today, and it never fails to get me. Slightly dubious typically tinny 80s production (nicely fixed by setting the EQ on the iPod to RnB) aside it's wonderful. Brilliant lyrics, tunes, sounds and singing. But...how the hell do you categorize it? A mix of indie and stadium rock moves, but never played too heavy on the guitar, synths and drum machines and layers of percussion,...

Unless major figures have died, there has been a massive terrorist attack, or a man has landed on the moon, there aren't many days of the year where you can be absolutely sure you know what you were doing exactly twenty years ago, but today is one of them. Twenty years ago today I was in a muddy field listening to New Order. I know this because one of the pubs near to where I used to live in Muswell...

With an expanding capacity year-on-year (now 85,000, an increase of 5,000 on 2008), a greater concentration of nationally recognised artists than ever and the kind of widespread media recognition which places it just below Glastonbury and level with Reading and Leeds in the UK's festival pecking order, T in the Park has become as definitive a Scottish brand as Irn Bru.

having reformed for a one-off festival appearance last year, and the forum friendly warm up gig before the main event, it became apparent to the band known as that petrol emotion that there was still a demand to check out one of the best live acts of the late 80s. fast forward 12 months, and ireallylovemusic [...]

is it safe to come out yet ? pop stars are dying, and festivals coming to an end, but thankfully the world continues to turn. so to get the week up and running, here’s a fine fine song by one of my all time favourite bands, that petrol emotion. lifted from the bands debut peel session that [...]

today i was late into the office. why ? mainly due to the sheer volume of traffic that was clogging up the southbound m5. in between the usual glut of lorries, time stretched workers, and the odd lost soul, were scores of loaded up cars with a tried and tested tent, a crate of budget larger, a few rolls of toilet paper, and creaking suspension system. the drivers in these loaded up vehicles often...
