SKUNK ANANSIE - Smashes and Trashes
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: Emma Liwela
The multi-platinum selling British alternative rock band is back and better than ever with a compilation of greatest hits. There are also three fantastic new singles, Because of You, Tear the Place Up and Squander. These tracks have the same heartfelt feeling, melody and energy as their earlier hits.
TOKIO HOTEL - Humanoid
Rating: 3/5
Reviewer: Alet van Zyl
These Euro rockers are as good in English as in their mother tongue. Humanoid is their third German album and it’s the second translated and recorded in English. You may recognise the album’s first single, Automatic - it received a lot of radio time in SA. The whole album is a great listen - especially the title track, Hey You and Darkside of the Sun.

Summer is here and it’s time to get up and dance. And you can do just that with the latest edition in the Clubland series, which features two CDs of 40 tracks plus a bonus DVD of 20 music videos. Highlights include the Freemasons take on Sophie Ellis Bexter’s Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer), Evacuate the Dancefloor, Day N Nite and Walk the Line.
