Cartridge
Enfant terrible
Glorious Records/A:larm Music

If anyone at NME is reading, here is you next favourite band. Cartridge sound draws very heavily from the sound of modern British rock (Kasabian, The Rakes, Arctic Monkeys), and whilst I'm not too into that whole scene, I believe they could easily handle their own on a bill with any of those groups. On "Enfant terrible", Cartridge is overflowing with energy and it shows on every track. The band keeps a rather quick pace throughout each track that, when preformed live, one can only assume it is the same, if not faster. "Coma state" and "Rooms painted green" are two noteworthy tracks on here, however in my estimation, "Tree crowns" is the best on the record.
