28 Days.



After all the success 28 Days have enjoyed, and taking into account all of the interviews they each have probably had to do, one could easily expect a bit of apathy on the other end of the phone whenever they're forced to do another.

Who Killed The Zutons?
Deltasonic/Sony


It would be all too easy to pigeonhole The Zutons with Deltasonic labelmates The Coral. Both bands share a 60s/70 sretrospective sound and a tendency to relate amusing tales through their songs, but once you get past the superficial similarities on first listen it becomes clear that The Zutons are in a different, bigger zone on the musical landscape. Without obviously ripping anyone off (unlike other bands that shall remain nameless), the Liverpool-based five piece manages to cover a fair amount of ground, from the frenetic exuberance of opener Zuton Fever to the country twang of Confusion and album closer Moons And Horror Shows...

The Adelaide Cabaret Festival (the cat's whiskers of cabaret) is coming to town in June and we'll be there to cover it for you, as it happens!

dB Magazine is a media partner of the Festival and you can bet we'll be turning into Cabaret Central in the coming weeks.

Get the lowdown now on some of the not-to-be-missed acts who'll be swinging into town, right here on dBmagazine.com.au.
