...INTRODUCTION Summer has always been known as the time when film studios push out their best on the action front with mind-numbing popcorn flicks often defining the hotter months of the year. With the final Star Wars film still selling well and Spielberg's War of the Worlds following close behind there sure is no lack of big budget action/CGI films, to which we can also add the ultimate popcorn flick, Batman Begins. Ever since Tim Burton introduced Batman as a marketable franchise in 1989, the Caped Crusader has gone to the top of the hill with his darkly gothic and mysterious world of Batman and Batman Returns, to Joel Schumacher's neon glowing carnival atmosphere of Batman Forever, and to the complete embarrassment of Batman & Robin where George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman and Chris O'Donnell managed to pull out some...

...Blazin Squad are a 10 man garage/pop crew who had a number 1 hit with the song "Crossroads" last year. From only just leaving school the boys have enjoyed phenomenal success!!! There debut album "In The Beginning" is a mixture of slow and up-tempo tracks. Let me tell u all about it....

It starts with 'Heaven's here on Earth' which is a really melodic tune with catchy lyrics and chorus and describes the perfect world. The title track, 'New Beginning' has an earthy sound and starts with a digeridoo. Listen to 'Smoke and Ashes', it is a deeply impactful song and an amazing account of growing, regardless of your age or point in life. 'At This Point In My Life' describes someone eager to, but afraid of taking a new step. 'The Promise', which is a beautiful love song and so soothing. You could listen to it forever. 'Give Me One Reason' will have you dancing, and is the only song with a bluesy beat. The sorrowful 'Remember the Tinman', 'The Rape of the World' and 'Cold Feet' all tell of things lost and crimes...
