- Received wisdom has it that intimate and emotive music must be quiet, considered, and preferably strummed on acoustic guitar. Rock'n'roll history has, thankfully, provided us with a succession of bands who've obliterated such foggy notions with the concision of a guitar ploughing into an amplifier...
Groups like Nirvana, The Who, The Pixies, who alloyed corrosive noise with a yearning passion and an idiosyncratic, individual worldview that spoke powerfully to their audience. Prepare to add My Alamo to that hallowed list.
Though just finished recording their debut album, at Swansea's Mighty Atom studios (with the capable aid of producer Joe Gibb, famed for work with Jane's Addiction, Funeral For A Friend and God Machine), My Alamo possess a colossal confidence in line with their skyscraper tuneage, carving epic, addictively melodic rock on a grand scale, but always retaining a bittersweet emotional punch.

For My Alamo, this is just the first step. They're savouring all the small victories along the way (like a storm-tossed trip across the Irish channel to play the Oxegen festival and an opening slot at download that's only bonded them closer, the ace video for '1994' filmed by a friend who made something stunning out of a non-existent budget, a national radio station playlisting their demo), not entirely sure where the journey is leading them, but not really caring, just sure of their desire to move forward.
