These are always those types of questions I don't really remember the answer to. What were you listening to when you lost your virginity? What was the first song you listened to this millennium? What were you listening to when you found out Princess Diana had died etc...

Well, the new These Arms Are Snakes album got me thinking about this question, as they were the first thing I listened to when I finished uni. Sort of. Not really. But the night of my final exam I went to see These Arms Are Snakes/The Mae Shi/Rapider Than Horsepower at the Custard Factory in Birmingham. I was steaming drunk so don't remember a lot from that gig but I don't think it was actually all that great anyway. The first song I listened to this year was actually 'Sabotage' by The Beastie Boys which went down really well, from what I remember, as I was steaming drunk, again.

Back to TAAS, who have a new album, 'Tail Swallower & Dove', out which seems   to be more of the same solid, experimental rock/post-hardcore from the ex-Botch dude and co. They also have a split 7" coming out with personal faves Tropics (read an interview with them here) which I think I might be more excited about.

I'm going to give their new full length a few more listens though; I've never been massively into TAAS as they seem to fall just shy of the mark with me with every release they do.

Is it pretty sad/shallow/stupid to be gutted to be missing gigs when you're actually gonna be on holiday and doing cool holiday stuff in another country which really isn't that bad going at all? Turns out I'm missing PRE/Rolo Tomassi/Throats at White Heat as well as Foot Village (interview here) and maybe more that I'm not going to torment myself with while I'm enjoying my travels and playing chess.

Aside from getting mopey about this, I also took part in the inaugural MSN Music Unsigned Podcast which should be online soon. I slated everyone else's bands (apart from one, who I'm going to look up now) and then they all slated mine. That's music karma in action right there.

It kind of felt like there was a bit of a gig drought for a while and then out of nowhere I experienced two of the best live bands I've seen this year, only a few days apart.

1) Torche: Pelican are probably feeling pretty sheepish. Asking an amazing band to support you is all well and good in theory, but when it gets to the point that they actually out-rock you and blow you so far off the stage you can barely see it any more, you realise there is a need for boring support bands sometimes. Torche absolutely killed it, and for once the sound in the Underworld didn't disappoint.

2) Rolo Tomassi: I'm starting to get a bit repetitive and going on about them a lot, soz, but what do you expect when they have their album launch party and their album is one of the best out this year? I've witnessed some next-level crowd action at a number of gigs, but this display of stage-diving (even guitarist Joe Nicholson taking part, NICE) and crowd surfing made for an unforgettable night. Playing album 'Hysterics' from start to end was a good decision, although the lack of At The Drive-In cover was a shame. All in all, an amazing night, and Mirror! Mirror! were incredible too. I COULD LITERALLY GUSH FOREVER.

Only other gigs before the end of the year which might come close = ATP and Low.

I've mentioned Lovvers a few times in this blog, but with the release of their EP 'Think' on Wichita this month I sent some questions to their singer Shaun and here is what he had to say for himself:

1) Lovvers have been going for a couple of years now - do you feel like things are really coming together now, or are you glad you took your time before this release with the 7"s and it's all happened quite naturally etc?

We glad we took our time releasing the 7"s. That's what being in a band is about and what bands are supposed to do! The process was pretty much the same as the 7"s so this release is just a natural progression.

2) Wichita have signed a lot of new British bands recently - how did the release with them come about? Do you think you fit well into their roster?

They heard of us through the label who put out our 7"s (Johnson Family Records) then came to see us a lot of times and things happened from there. We're not in the same vein as Sky Larkin who they have also started working with recently, but its appealing to be on a label that releases all genres of music.

3) Since you've all been in bands for a good few years now, do you feel like you've paid your dues and you're finally in a band which is going the way you want it to?

Not really, we are still playing the same kind of venues for the same people. I hate the attitude of paying your dues, because our aim as a band is to put out records and tour. We aren't trying to escape anything. I think we're playing music that represents a bit of all 4 of us and we want to do that in an environment that a) doesn't feel like a hospital and b) isn't put on by some guy who never heard your band

4) You've played a lot of festivals this year - do you enjoy them? How you do you feel playing pretty big stages like Download? Who else did you watch at that festival?

The festivals were fun! The big stage is fine as we've done quite a lot of big gigs so its not that new but obviously we are much more comfortable and suited to a small stage / no stage. At download the best things I saw were Kiss and High on Fire!

5) Finish this sentence 'the problem with the music industry today is...'

Again, I have no interest or in depth knowledge of the music industry. The problem is people assuming you want to get involved with that crowd. We don't! They also seem to work with a lot of terrible bands.

6) What do you spend your time doing when you're not doing Lovvers? Are you having to give up jobs etc to do it as more of a full time thing?

I spend time sorting stuff, doing artwork, help my girlfriend run her shop.

7) As your current release is only 7 songs long, do you have plans for something a bit longer, or do you not have any real desire to do a standard 12 song, 40 minute album? Will your next release after 'Think' be with Wichita too?

Well "Think" is an EP we have no desire to do a 40 minute album, but we will be releasing a full length LP in the summer, and most likely a 7inch prior to this in march.

8) How do you see the current state of new music in the UK? Do you feel part of any kind scene which is bringing something a bit 'edgier'/rawer from the sidelines to the mainstream?

We don't feel part of a scene, from my experience I don't think this exists in the UK outside of the hardcore movement, and musically I think we're a bit weak for them. But there lots of great bands in the UK, not loads but enough...... Shi**y Limits, The Demons, Thee Vicars, Sad Shields, Beast With A Gun, Elaspe-o, Fu*k Buttons.

9) What are your plans for the rest of the year?

We are gonna be playing up till Christmas pretty much all the time. We do our own tour from September 26th-October 10th and have 3 separate trips to mainland Europe and couple of other tours here. So very busy!

10) As you've progressed as a band your music tends to feel sloppier and more pi**ed off with every release - is that the direction you are aiming for? Are you all a bit angry?

Are you sure your not listening to our releases in the wrong order? Next record will be completely acoustic. If we're angry its because of the constant questions.

Woop woop it's Monday and I'm never usually bothered by release dates for albums or any such nonsense but today there are 3 that I have to get whenever I'm close enough to a half decent record shop:

1)  Rolo Tomassi - Hysterics. Well, duh etc. Their album release party is tonight and I'm pretty excited. Despite actually having this for a while I can't wait to see the fully finished physical copy.

2) TV On The Radio - Dear Science. I only got into to this band with last album 'Return to Cookie Mountain' and now this one is out and I wasn't that excited, then I was, now I'm kinda 'ah well, maybe I should actually buy it then'.

www.myspace.com/tvotr

3) Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling. You need another Mogwai album like you need another cup of tea. One or two is usually enough but having more is just all the more comforting and, well, nice.

Definitely something which divides opinions, are you on the 'no way man, music is just honest and should have nothing to do with politics' side or of the 'hell yeah! Musicians have a responsibility to use their platform for good' opinion?

I'm not really sure. I am not a fan of overly talkative musicians who feel the need to spout off some pretty obvious and well-known facts at gigs ('George Bush is an a**hole!', really?) but at the same time there's something equally annoying about saying 'I just wanna play music, I have no agenda'. It's OK to have an opinion, and if you think it matters enough, then often there is a time and a place to bring it up.

That's pretty much what http://noiseforobama.org does well, and considering the election in the US and the possibility of Sarah Palin becoming Vice President, it seems a good time for bands to be rallying about a bit. Noise For Obama includes statements from the kind of bands you'd hope would be able to rouse some political interest in even the most vacant of hipsters; No Age, Lightning Bolt, These Arms Are Snakes, Deerhoof and more all have something to say about registering to vote and, well, voting for Obama.

You'd kinda assume the majority of people into the DIY noise scene in the US would be more likely to vote for the Democrats anyway, but if it all goes rubbish and the punks don't do good, there's always the Sarah Palin baby name generator to get a feel of how things would be like if she was your mommy.

Seriously, sod the fact the Meat Puppets got added last week. I was so distracted by the fact I just wasn't bothered I somehow missed the fact MONOTONIX GOT ADDED TO THE LINE-UP TOO. The best Israeli party rockers bar NONE were the highlight of ZXZW last year and will simply be one of the bands I can't wait to see in December.

Really, who could not have the time of their lives watching this band?????

I ended up visiting the Temporary Residence website this morning (can't remember exactly why, maybe because I started the day listening to Rob Crow's solo album) and was struck by two things straight away:

• Thursday and Envy are releasing a split LP! This is amazing/slightly bizarre news. I could try and downplay the importance of emotive post-hardcore-ers Thursday but for me they sum up 2002 and my first year at uni. Envy have survived the test of time slightly better and are still one of my favourite Japanese bands ever.
• Young Widows have a new album out! Despite only scoring 6.6 on Pitchfork, I am still looking forward to the second album from the band which sort of evolved from Breather Resist and other Louisville hardcore allstar bands. Their Melvins/Jesus Lizard-esque noise rock might not be quite up there with Coliseum or Elliott, probably my two favourite Louisville bands ever, but I still ordered it as soon as I saw it.

Wow, Temporary Residence is a pretty solid record label these days, good work!

Having a beer and watching live music pretty much goes hand in hand, although a while ago I would've said the same thing about having a cigarette and now that's illegal. Is Van Morrison's banning of alcohol at one of his gigs a worrying sign of the future at gigs, where we'll all have to stand in neat orderly rows consuming nothing but water and purified air? Sadly, I think so, ruddy nanny-state government.

And it's probably the first time Van Morrison has reminded me of straight-edge hardcore bands.

Boring boring times. I'm going to have a drink at Torche/Pelican tonight to toast the death of personal freedom and write a letter to someone complaining about the state of the world we live in.

This week is National Talk Like A Pirate Week or some such rubbish, which naturally segues into my discussion on downloading music illegally online.

While I'm not completely unrealistic and see all music sharing and downloads as a stab in the face of artistic integrity and freedom (it would be hypocritical of me, for one thing), I don't think, as a music fan, that gives me the right to expect to get all the music I want for free.

I'm not gonna go into a full outline of my feelings on the future of the music industry and how free music downloads need to co-exist with paid-for music and kids generally need to change their attitude. That's another entry, but I am going to express my general annoyance at some people's cheek. Since when did it become socially acceptable to just message people on Last.fm and ask them to send you MP3s of a song? Heck, even full albums? You that lazy you can't even search on Soulseek? You that stupid you ask someone who runs THE RECORD LABEL WHO ARE RELEASING IT to send you MP3s FOR FREE?!

It's happened quite a few times, even emails straight to the Holy Roar inbox asking for albums. Every now and then I get something on Last.fm, like the below (OK, no explicit asking, but you can see where this is going, and she's asking for a Devil Sold His Soul song):

To which I replied, quite fairly:

It's talk like a pirate, not behave like one (and an idiot).

I could blame Vampire Weekend, although if I'm honest with myself I can actually enjoy a touch of their 'Feels so natural, like Peter Gabriel too' and didn't entirely hate them at ATP. But Abe Vigoda take it to the next level.

I don't even want to like them, and I acknowledge I'm being utterly stubborn in the fact the term  'tropical punk rock' brings up a bit of sick in my mouth.

The decider? Just think who will be listening to that Vampire Weekend in six months.

Probably THE most revered DIY British band of all time? So it's hard to know where to really start with this band. They get referenced and half mentioned all the time when it comes to any British band playing anything vaguely experimental and the amount of bands it spawned means you hear the phrase 'Ex-Murder Of' far too often.

Their output (one album and two 7"s) belies and kind of undermines their importance for a lot of people and the ground they covered in the few years they were around. Trying to map their progress isn't straightforward; they went from spazzy chaotic screamo to mathy-indie-post-hardcore to jazzy experimentalism within these releases. I was lucky enough to see them live at every stage, from two vocalist chaos to them touring the album to the two drummers set-up to the end, with the Secret Bark Language EP. Despite all the change, they were still very much The Murder Of and they ended just as they began to really confuse people.

These days their releases go for a lot of money on eBay and we have Lovvers and a load of other bands we can trace back to them. They were probably one of the first DIY bands I got into and for that, and the ace music they released, they'll always have a place in my record collection. Unless the credit crunch bites and I can get £30 for the first 7".

There are literally a million gigs happening this autumn that I'm excited about. LITERALLY loads. One which I'm particularly looking forward to will be the annual return of Genghis Tron as they are probably the goofiest and geekiest looking guys ever.

More than their beards and glasses, I'm looking forward to the support band they're bringing over. Behold...The Arctopus are one of the most over-mentioned bands when it comes to overly complex avant-garde metal, but that's 'cos they pretty much refined it and made it their own. Along with Mick Barr (of Orthrelm fame, ace article in Plan B magazine this month too) they have it nailed. Having seen B...TA in New York in 2005, I have to say, everyone's in for a head-fu*k. Prepare for the 'Woah! That guitar is nuts' comments with regards to the 12-string Warr guitar Colin Marston plays.

Yeah, actually. It is pretty nuts.

As the odds for the Mercury/Nationwide/Music/Prize (arrange those words in some kind of order) are all now basically saying Burial is a almost definitely probably going to win, it's more interesting now to bet on whether he'll actually go up and collect it.

Here are my odds:

Burial/Will Bevan makes a public appearance and actually looks like that pic on his Myspace - 5/1

No-one collects it for him - 20/1

A posse of dubstep allstars including Spaceape and Skream collect it on his behalf - 12/1

Burial collects it and turns out he's not beenie hat-wearing Will Bevan but an eleven year old girl from Croydon - 13/1

Someone else wins - 74/1

Place your bets.

Big Scary Monsters is one of the most consistently impressive and reliable independent labels in the UK pretty much ever. How many others do you know that have got to 50 odd releases? Exactly. The one from them I'm most looking forward to coming up is the debut 7" 'Meat Balloon' from Leeds rockers Pulled Apart By Horses.

I asked them some questions and here are their answers:

1) HI PABH, I've seen quit a few bad genre names knocking around when describing your sound. How would you like to pigeon-hole yourselves, if forced to?

James - Smash rock

Lee - God yeah, its horrible isn't it? I don't see anything wrong with good ol' 'Rock', either that or 'post-spatchcock'. 'Hunk rock' is also a good one, fitting too.

Rob – Sh*t-Kicking Disco

Tom - Glam Chowder

2) You've just been taken on by BSM. How does that feel and what does it involve? Any plans to do any more releases after the single?

Lee - It's ace, we wanted nothing more than to do our first release on a good UK indie and BSM are one of the best, their attitude and ethics are very close to ours so its gonna be a beautiful relationship. As far as future releases go, we don't really like to look any further than dinner time tomorrow.

Rob – Exciting, we've been mixing the Tracks with Ben Gardener recently and the sound is pretty unique. Plus if you skim records like a frisby into plaster walls, they stick in!!

James - BSM rule but its all about what's happening for dinner. Lovely first label. Single is out 27th October and its called Meat Balloon!

Tom - It's super awesome. I wouldn't have guessed that we'd have something coming out so soon and with such a cool indie label! I can't really say what will be upcoming in the future as we don't know ourselves yet. There will probably be another single in the new year and hopefully an EP if things go well! Life is a rollercoaster you just gotta ride it as Ronan would say. But then again he also sung "You say it best, when you say fu*k all, nowt!"

3) There's a lot of good new UK bands emerging, do you feel part of a new 'scene' or any other crap like that? How do you feel about new music in the UK right now?

Lee - We feel very much part of the 'Leeds Scene', but that's nothing to do with any styles of music or any new 'movement', we just feel a bond with a lot of Leeds bands cos they're such bloody lovely people and they play very nice songs. New music in the UK right now is a phat rave, its amazing. So many good bands.

Rob – It really does feel like we're part of something in Leeds, it's not a "scene" because there's so much diversity. But it does feel like
something special is about to happen for us and all our friends. It's just a great place to be at the moment, there's a lot of creativity mixed in with the desire to get absolutely wrecked and have a party as often as possible.

4) I think there's a bit of a problem with new bands - they get a Myspace, record 2 songs, put them online and expect gig offers and a record deal to come their way almost instantly, without any real work or understanding of how things work. Do you think this happens sometimes? Do you think you've paid your dues as a band etc etc etc??

Lee - The internet has definitely changed the standard path of a band, I agree, but bands who don't put in the hard graft soon come to the surface. This whole thing of having fu*king clothing sponsors as well really fu*ks me off. like that's more important than learning to play! but I guess there always has been and always will be posers in music. I think we will get loads of sh*t about not paying our dues because we've only been around 5 minutes but I couldn't care less, I've been playing in bands for 10 years!

James - We've been smashing it in and gigging loads. I love Myspace as I get to talk to people who like our stuff which is really sweet. I think were working flat out at the moment trying to do artwork, record, write, make videos and see girlfriends. I wish Myspace could do all this for us.

Rob – The irony of Myspace is that it can give you an instant sense of recognition and achievement, which would have taken a lot more effort back in the day. But that's just what it is, instant, like a fu*king pot noodle. You have to follow it up with more. Otherwise, it's worthless and you're not really communicating with an audience. It's like socialising over the internet. Pointless. You can either sit looking at a screen, or get out there and shout hilarious nonsense at each other over a festival campfire. The internet is useful. but it's just a means to an end.

Tom - Yeah, I agree with the other chumps. The internet/Myspace obviously has it's advantages but it's such a commonly used tool today, you have to put that extra pump of effort into it. I heard that you could download food the other day, how nuts is that? I downloaded a Sunday dinner through iTunes last night! It weren't even Sunday! Crazy!

5) Apparently you have a pretty fiery live show, what does this involve and how do you particularly enjoy rocking out?

Lee - Just getting loose really! Its hard to answer that question without using a load of rock cliches. We just like to have fun (even that's a cliche!)

James - I suffer from boredismitunitus. I get bored easily on stage. I once built a firetruck out of Lego at a gig a while back. It was really mint. Had flashing lights and everything. I just get carried away in the loudness and dance. Purely carried awayness.

Rob – We're all actually insane to varying degrees. Throwing ourselves (and each other) around a stage is just a fun way of dealing with our pent-up lunacy.

Tom - I'm a really dopey and calm person trapped in a hyper kids body which makes me feel weird before almost every gig. I don't really know what happens when we play live apart from after there's always black bruised knees, sweat and broken things when we've finished. I just love letting one go.

6) How did you all get into heavy music/the kind of music you play? Were you in any other  bands before? How did you discover this kind of music etc?

Lee - A friend of mine at school introduced me to Earache Records and that was it, I was happy listening to Nirvana then I heard Fudge Tunnel. Blew my tiny mind!! as times gone on though I've become less enamoured with proper 'heavy' music and enjoy more Dischord, Shellac-y type stuff these days. I guess that reflects in PABH.

James - Pretty much the same as Lee. Older school friends turned me away from the likes of blur and oasis. Ended up smoking pot, etc, etc.

Rob – It's just always been there. My Dad gave me all the Led Zeppelin records when I was a kid. Then everyone wanted to be Kurt Cobain for a bit. Then you refine that into the most possibly obscure noisy records you can find to impress girls and older nerds. Then you get the ACDC back out for a bit. Then you finally get your act together and make something that isn't already there that you want to hear, and ping! It's done.

Tom - I grew up as a kid on a diet of grunge and heavy metal and have been playing in bands since I was about 15/16.I've always loved playing live however sh*te any of those bands were! I was in a band once called Neon Vomit named after Pugwall's band in the series. What a prick! I suppose some of my tastes have stayed the same since I was a wee lad, they've just expanded more. Now I'll listen to anything. I normally listen to Babylon Zoo or Cartoons before lugging one out on stage.

7) Please finish this sentence, 'The problem with the music industry today is....'

Lee - '...that it isn't dead and fu*king buried'. Lets start again!

James - that you cant buy flexi discs anymore. I mean seriously poo pants. They were sh*tting wahey ace!

Rob – Security guards, bouncers and ticket inspectors. Not all of them though.

Tom - '.....that you can put you cock in the air and call it air guitar.'

8) Sod Reading/Leeds, how psyched are you to be playing at Offset Festival with Gang of Four etc? Actually, how was Reading/Leeds? How did that come about?

Lee - Offset will be ace. Unfortunately gang of Four are on the sunday though. Still we get to see wire and drum eyes!
Reading and leeds was ace, too many funny stories...

Rob – Offset will be brilliant, but it can't compare with being let loose for four whole days. You wouldn't believe us if we told you, and I wouldn't remember. A lot of it involves what the band have recently termed as me "going wrong."

Tom - Leeds/Reading were stonking good. Rob broke, Lee aged 36 years, James melted then re-formed an inch shorter, and I learnt how to eat food backwards. Crap chaos!

9) You're playing this Don Benito place in Spain - that's quite a legendary music venue and a lot of good bands have played there in the last couple of years, This Ain't Vegas even named an album after it. Are you going to be typical 'Brits abroad' when in Spain?

Lee - We're gonna be ladding it up in any English sports bar we can find! eating a full English then glassing locals. ENGERRRLAND!!

James - I'm really worried about Spain. I mean its gonna be hot, cheap beer, girls, cheap beer, heat, sun, beer......hang on...did I say worried before? What the fu*knuts am I on about. DON BENITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob – Have you SEEN Lee?! We don't have a choice.

Tom - It's going to be Don King. We're going to have to choose some careful garments. It's going to be so hot I'll probably turn into gas!

10) What's in store for PABH? Where next? Thinks are ramping up pretty fast now...

Lee - Well, we'll be doing a brief tour in October when the 7" comes out on BSM, then who knows! I predict more of the same - records, gigs, and more gigs.

Rob – We're not concentrating on the future at all because so much is happening in the present. We're just going to keep loving what we're doing and ride it out until the end.

James - Like Rob says. Haven't got time to think about it right now. Plus I have Lego to play with.

Tom - Thinks are ramping up very indeeds. I'm hoping to find a warp zone or loop tunnel are possibly skip a few world, we'll just have to wait and see!

HI AMAZON! You are great because I sometimes sell old CDs on there and usually then just buy more from your sellers because they are CHEAP and less hassle than evilBay most of the time.

However, for all its use, Amazon can be pretty scary sometimes with it's recommendations and stored information which the little elves use to put together a profile where basically they know everything from your favourite pasta shape to whether you would rather be cremated or buried.

My current top 5 CD recommendations from them are Fleet Foxes (BORING!), Sigur Ros' new album (already got a promo of it, ta), MGMT (worse new band this year?), Boxer by The National (hey! Not bad, quite like this, already got it though) and Mirrored by Battles (DUH everyone has this already. Silly Amazon!). Then you start getting really depressed and look through old orders when you bought some really rubbish stuff, although the first thing I ever purchased was this, so not all bad.

Before you realise it you've given them about 70 page views and bought 6 CDs. Curses!
