CD Review: Underoath - Define the Great Line

CD Review: Manifesto - Approaching The Traps
The CD kicks off with the track "Human Rights" which to be honest is not a very impressive track. The drums are relatively lazy with the fills being out of time, the bass sometimes lags behind the guitar and vocals in the track.

CD Review: The Subways - Young for Eternity
Just over a year ago hotly tipped new band The Subways were handpicked by Michael Eavis to play on stage at Glastonbury and since then their rise has been nothing short of amazing; going on to support Oasis and headlining some of the most raucous music events of the year including The Camden Crawl and XFM's Xmas Party.

CD Review: All Its Worth - The Golden Spoon Theory EP

On the initial listen to this album it doesn't seem to be the album that this band are capable of.

Secondly, his sleeve notes include the words, "If you like this music then feel free to copy, rip, burn and pass it on to as many people as you like." This is an important lesson for unsigned bands; just get your music out there.

Live Review: Daft Punk + Klaxons + Cansei de Ser Sexy + Plan B + Mark Ronson + New Young Pony Club
With my usual Sunday morning lie in, and the insistence of a cooked breakfast, I didn't arrive at Harewood House until after 3.30pm; arriving just in time to see Datarock leave the stage.

Live Review: Toy De Trop + Marrizon + Relapse
Opening with a wave of fuzz and pomp filled riffs, three piece Relapse play dark rock. To use the word 'emo' to describe this band is risky, it's the equivalent of when neo-conservatives use 'liberal' to describe their opponents - however it's not a dirty word, and certainly in this case it's no bad thing.

CD Review: X is Loaded - Trench
It has to be said that on first listen, I struggled to find anything worthwhile on this album. As the follow up to 2004's 'Raw Nerve' debut album my expectations were high, especially after seeing their strong set live.

CD Review: The Defiled - s/t
Adding an electronic ambience to metalcore is maybe not what you'd think would work, but when done simply and subtly it certainly does.

CD Review: The Crypt - Untitled
With a name such as The Crypt, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this band is a Goth-rock or black metal outfit.

Live Review: Kaiser Chiefs
A strange little venue, on the third floor of a shopping centre. The key word though is 'little'. About the same size of the Met, it's smaller than anywhere you're likely to find the Chiefs in this country any more.
