VM engine room Bob Dick writes for thevinyldistrict.com about discovering and rediscovering music releases on vinyl.
[box]“Born in ’82, I grew up with cassette tapes and compact discs. I mainly remember playing CDs as somehow, even when I was very young, I knew cassette tapes were rubbish (in the same way we all knew Minidiscs were rubbish when they made their brief interruption into our musical lives). My early memories of vinyl involves only 2 records – Eddie Grant’s “Electric Avenue” and Sex Pistols’ “Something Else.” These were the only vinyl records I was allowed to play when I was younger as they were unwanted Christmas presents passed on to me by my Dad. Unfortunately for my parents, I discovered “Friggin In The Riggin” (the B-side on the Pistols record) and played it incessantly.”[/box]

French language website ‘Dans le mur… du son‘ compare Verse Metrics’ Radians EP to Mogwai, Arab Strap, Aereogramme and Low in it’s review of the 5 tracks.

‘Semaphore’ seems to be a favourite.

Paisley’s finest independent music blogger, Aye Tunes, places Verse Metrics in his Friday Freebies list for Friday 2nd November. In the same post he mentions he’s putting on a gig at The Roxy 171 in Glasgow featuring Easter, Young Philadelphia and LeThug.
VerseMetrics.com saw Easter play in Edinburgh earlier this year and suggest that they make a very agreeable noise. If the other bands and Jim’s taste is anything to go by… then this should be an excellent evening.
