'Ghost In The Machine' is the debut recording from Pastel Jack, a British metal outfit who are still extremely young on the scene. Having sourced their musical abilities, creative juices and magical powers in 2007, the foursome found their door into the business the following year, winning Hull's only major Battle Of The Bands competition, and consequently securing a solid fanbase. On the back of this six-track EP, the band have toured continuously racking up a decent portfolio of gigs including supporting big name acts such as Blitzkrieg, and with rumours of a studio album approaching, we’re eager to explore their potential.

Edgar Wright’s third film confirms him as a director of real talent who is able to balance blockbuster effects with indie wit and style. 'Shaun Of The Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz' were both ambitious projects which managed to lampoon their genres – the zombie flick and cop thriller respectively – while still delivering the goods audiences expect from straight-up horror and action films. Here he takes a popular series of manga-inspired graphic novel books and turns them into a love letter to all things nerdy – from 16-bit videogames to bad indie rock, the sadder you are, the more you are likely to get from this film. And I mean that in the best possible way.
