CD Review: The Warlocks - Baby Blue
'Baby Blue' is a perfect summary of The Warlocks' lazy, fucked up psychedelirock. What they lack in lyrical quantity, they make up for in sonic invention.

Live Review: Selfish Cunt + Robochrist + Baby Food
I dunno about anyone else but it really bugs me when bands, especially ones at the bottom of the bill, start acting as if, on top of paying the five quid entrance fee to their gig, us punters somehow owe them our undying appreciation for watching them peddle their musical wares for half an hour.

This three track EP from Midland's four-piece, Rhesus kicks off in truly uplifting fashion, with feel good anthem 'So Alone.' Blending melodic, easy-on-the-ear indie-rock with sugared lyrics and pop-music vocals, 'So Alone' manages to be thoroughly pleasant, without being bland.

CD Review: The Cribs - Another Number / Baby Don't Sweat

CD Review: Ciaran Hafferty - Untitled
Three songs of pleasant strumming and little distinction from this Leeds based singer songwriter. All the songs show an ear for melody and are definitely in the Evan Dando bracket, track 2 "Love Burns" could easily be lifted from The Lemonheads' "Shame About Ray" era.

But here, three years on from the split 7" that launched Dance To The Radio, the main differences between themselves and contemporary Leodensians such as the band with whom they shared that single, ¡Forward, Russia!, seem to revolve around the resolute failure of the national media to pick up on their efforts.

CD Review: Lupen Crook - A Silver Boot for Sam
When Lupen Crook's fragile, heartbreaking voice echoes out against a backdrop of country-based folkified O'Brother Where Art Thou banjos, pianos, double bass, fiddles (reversed!) and deep, beautifully low, four-part male vocal harmonies (phew!), I know I'm in deep-west acoustic heaven.

CD Review: The Thermals - The Body The Blood The Machine
When they recorded their first album on a beat up old four-track in a local hotel room, Portland trio The Thermals and their label Sub Pop boldly stuck two fingers up to the industry and said "look we can have a hit record even with out all the expensive tweaks." Quite right too, More Parts Per Million went on to be an underground smash if there is such a thing and the tinny production only added to its joy.

CD Review: Wildbirds & Peacedrums - The Snake
After releasing their debut album, 'Heartcore,' through Yorkshire's own The Leaf Label to widespread acclaim in 2007, Swedish husband-and-wife duo Mariam Wallentin and Andreas Werliin jumped straight in at the deep end with a follow up the next year. Their sound is raw, primitive; there is nothing of The White Stripes here. Maintaining the stripped-down feel of 'Heartcore,' second album 'The Snake' builds evermore layers of complexity onto the basic vocals and percussion set-up, bringing in glockenspiel, marimba, flute and hosts of other tinkling, twinkling other-worldly sounds. The landscape of 'The Snake' is a frenetic and turbulent one, with Wallentin's vocals meandering deftly through a veritable helter-skelter of styles and octaves; one moment her voice is as deep and powerful as Nina Simone's or a jazzier PJ Harvey; the next, it takes on a fragile tone more akin to the fragile warbles of Anthony Hegarty or Baby Dee. All the while Werliin's 'peacedrums' are pounding rhythmically in the background, tribal and animalistic, as Wallentin guides us through their fairy tale wilderness. Live, they are a sight to behold, with shrieks and smashes melding together in a crashing chaos of complexity. First single 'There Is No Light' is a prime example of this controlled chaos; an anguished, churning mess of a song; but these raucous numbers are punctuated by slower, delicate tracks such as 'So Soft So Pink,' which sounds exactly as one would expect from the name, with soft drums and tinkling cymbal crashes built around vocals as understated and brittle as glass. Listening to the album, you get the impression that the vocals and drums are each telling their own, distinct stories throughout; stories which compliment and interlace with each other but which are individual narratives, each with their own directions.

CD Review: Cardboard Cowboy - Shorthand For Love

Live Review: The War on Drugs + Alexander Tucker

This is an important lesson for unsigned bands; just get your music out there.

Live Review: Motorhead + Girlschool
The thought of watching influential bands The Damned and Motorhead on one bill was the catalyst for both myself and friend James to enthusiastically dash up to the O2 one lunchtime to invest in a pair of tickets.

Live Review: Ash + The Dead 60s + The Dodgems
To my left a group of student girls are dressed as cats. I feel 'elf conscious and try not to stare. Instead I search behind, there's a chap who must be at least seven foot tall.

Carpe on a Saturday night: I'm a fan of the stone floor and the wood surround, so, of course, once I'm ensconced at the bar with a glass of orange juice and a curly straw I'm happy enough.

Interview: The Concetines
After a year and a half of being a young indie boy band from Leeds, I finally got the chance to have a chat with the boys from The Concetines. And needless to say, the interview was full of banter and sarcasm from each one of them. The band has recently begun to grow more and more successful grabbing an opportunity to share their wonderful music with the audience at Live at Leeds 2013 this summer.

CD Review: Shatner - Energise
By all rights Shatner really ought to be extinct. Given that the Big Brothers who quietly go about the business of corrupting the nation's youth decided to adopt the policies of Pol Pot somewhere around the late 90s, someone ought to have got round to sending Jim Bower & co to the glue factory by now.
