VFest Toronto Day Two

By Jen White (CHARTattack) September 9, 2008 1:58 pm
Day two of the Virgin Festival started out a little shaky as a light but annoying rain threatened to keep up all day. I got to the island rather painlessly this time, and reached the Virgin Mobile Stage just as Spiral Beach began. They played a pretty solid power-pop set for a bunch of teenagers on a pylon-littered stage, but their age shone...

Paul Weller — Catch Flame!

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) July 25, 2006 3:06 pm
Modfather Paul Weller combines the themes from his two previous live albums, Live Wood and Days Of Speed, to create a two-hour live Weller love-fest. The results are mixed. The man has been at this for 30 years and knows all the tricks of the trade, yet the first CD of this double-disc set is a bit flat mainly due to the fact that he relies...

Paul Weller — As Is Now

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) October 11, 2005 9:59 am
Following  Studio 150, 2004’s disappointing collection of covers, Paul Weller has mustered up a solo album that will thrill old Jam fans without compromising his dignity. As Is Now begins with a trio of punchy rockers that don’t exactly ape Weller’s most famous moments, but certainly draw on a spirit and ferocity that’s been absent from his...

Paul Weller — Heliocentric

in
By Ernest J. Agbuya (CHARTattack) April 25, 2000 1:35 pm
It took the Modfather three years to cool off from his last album, the pissed-off, bombastic Heavy Soul. Time has allowed Weller to re-acquaint himself with the finely-crafted songs, ponderous chords and soulful delivery that characterized his classic first two post-Style Council solo albums. The impression that he's been woodshedding is felt in...

Paul Weller — Wake Up The Nation

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) May 13, 2010 4:11 pm
While 2008's 22 Dreams was hailed as Paul Heller's comeback, I wasn't convinced the former leader of The Jam and Style Council had fully regained his musical vision until I'd listened to Wake Up The Nation a few times. Weller really gets down to it on this quick-paced album; the cuts are relatively short and the musical ideas are complexity and...

Paul Weller Featuring My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields — "7 + 3 Is The Striker's Name"

in
By CHARTattack Staff November 27, 2009 2:07 pm
Paul Weller and My Bloody Valentine guitarist Kevin Shields have collaborated on this new track. In case you're wondering, yes, Shields' typically loud, ethereal, ear-drum-smashing guitar riffs are included, but Weller's Mod-influenced rhythms are left intact beneath them. You'd think that kind of mix might not work, but it strangely does. The...

Paul Weller's Dreamy New Album

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 3, 2008 5:00 pm
The Modfather is back. Paul Weller will lace up his Brogues, don a new suit and return to record stores on June 17 when he releases 22 Dreams through Island U.K. The 21-track record (apparently the 22nd "dream" got lost) is Weller's first new studio effort since 2005's As Is Now. While it's long enough to be a double album, 22 Dreams...

Paul Weller Spits On Sting

By CHARTattack Staff March 30, 2007 4:30 pm
While there was some excitement in the Chart office when The Police reunion tour was announced, the same enthusiasm has never been shown for Sting's solo work. And we're happy to find that modfather Paul Weller shares our opinion. Weller and Oasis' Noel Gallagher performed The Jam's "The Butterfly Collector" and The Beatles' "All...
