Managers promote bands. And s/he has done that admirably

Yes, up to a point... but going on line to whine about the editorial policy of fRoots and to accuse them of being "gatekeepers" is pretty dismal. And it does beg the question of why they need the patronage of relatively small scale specialist mags, when they are getting glowing reviews in the Mirror and Mojo...

There again, it is apparently an established scientific fact that fRoots readers buy their own bodyweight in CDs every year.
