CD Review: New Order - Krafty
It's a tricky one, the remix CD. It can prove to be a bit of a pain in the rear sometimes, as your fans want the one they heard on the radio, not the 'DJ Killbot 12" extended techno-dub mix', but as evidenced here, sometimes it can prove to be a fruitful exercise.

CD Review: The Scandal - Karolina
The Scandal are 3 Leeds boys making a funk-tastic noise and Karolina is their new 5 Track EP. It kicks off with some rousing guitars, a resounding bass and intricate beat emanating from the drums.

CD Review: Cognoscenti - Untitled
"You Alight: Reduction" with an out of tune guitar isn't a great first impression, but as the tune kicks in it has quite a nice hook to it.

CD Review: Farming Incident - What can you do with a pig's head and sheep's brains?
Farming Incident are disturbing. Their three track CD demo is not only titled "What can you do with a pig's head and sheep's brains?", a title to get any decent human being worried about what they are about to encounter, but their opening track Rostov begins with the lyrics "When I was a boy, My father used to give me cigarettes, Then beat me up for smoking, When I was a boy, I used to torture my pets".

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: Various Artists - Soma Compilation 2004
Bloody, battered and bruised, dance music has gone a full ten rounds with the media world fervently announcing its death.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/3394/ | 669 hits
CD Review: Tilly And The Wall - O
Purveyors of lush, romantic rock and roll they may be, but in a world that needs a handle, these guys will - for the time being - continue to be 'that one with a tap dancer instead of a drummer'.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10067/ | 303 hits
Live Review: Cowpuncher + Djingo + One Minute Warning
The third night of the FutureSound 2000 competition sees the first noise-fest night, a completely raucous mental affair - in a controlled manner of course.

CD Review: The Blackout - Higher and Higher
As far as Rock / Rap collaborations go in recent times, they haven't been up to scratch. However in 2011 this could all change with the latest offering from The Blackout.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/14220/ | 1,217 hits
CD Review: The Bellrays - The Red, White and Black
The down and dirty bass guitar riff of "Remember" kicks off this second Poptones offering from The Bellrays before some rolling drums interrupt proceedings along with strangled guitar for company and then we're off into a rifftastic headlong dash to the chorus.

Raw, loud and unrestrained, the latest offering from the boy/girl blues trash outfit is the epitome of nicotine-stained scuzzy rock 'n' roll.

CD Review: Red Go Green Stop - R.E.
Red Go Green Stop's latest slice of adult pop glory opens with an indefinable yet undeniably ska-infused intro proving its status as just that.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/8679/ | 568 hits
CD Review: Rhesus - Narcolepsy Baby
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.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10367/ | 503 hits
CD Review: Diefenbach - Set and Drift
Third album proper from the genre melding Danes, 'Set & Drift' sees Diefenbach occupying territory somewhere between camps indie and electronic.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/5986/ | 307 hits
CD Review: Saving Lenny - Easy Way Out
Ska Punk is one of those phrases that fails to describe the music of Saving Lenny. They have primitive songs (punk-ish) and occasional spurts of up-beat horns (sort of ska-ish nearly).

CD Review: Living Colour - The Chair In The Doorway
Is it better to be a jack of all trades, or a master of one? Throughout their 25 year history, Living Colour have tried their hands at Metal, Punk, Jazz and Hip-Hop, and with their latest effort, 'The Chair In The Doorway,' they still haven't settled for one genre.

Live Review: The A.M. + This Floating World + Soula Fuzz + Will Saunders
If you have never been to, or played the Fez Club, I would recommend that you go. Nice staff, a friendly atmosphere 'Moroccan' / middle east décor and silken sheets for the bands to hide behind and call their dressing room.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/1347/ | 370 hits
CD Review: Flaming Apes Head - Untitled
Tony Bliar really has Britain under his spindly thumb. In the Red corner, weighing approximately 180 lbs, representing middle class Britain, we have James "The Boredom" Blunt.

Live Review: The Hives + The Blues Explosion + The D4
The searing heat inside the Refectory is only made more intolerable by the 5 minute fire alarm that kicks the night off.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/3787/ | 810 hits
CD Review: Castrovalva - Untitled
To say Castrovalva are courting a niche market is an understatement, specialising in instrumental, improvised prog rock, fashioned solely from a bass, a drum kit, and a lot of synths.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10576/ | 429 hits
CD Review: Louise Distras - Heart Strings on a Hand Grenade
I reviewed Louise's last EP, and my only major complaint then was that the whole thing seemed a little bare - a bit thin if you will - for the style of music she plays.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/14550/ | 447 hits
CD Review: Dialog - Far Too Long EP
For a while now I've been searching for something fresh and new to add to my heavier collection, but at the same time something that still clings to the roots of the legendary bands that I grew up with - thank god for Dialog.

Live Review: The Long Ryders + Gregg Trooper + The Prowlers
I thought I saw some diplomat hawking secret plans in the park I thought I saw my President walking through Harlem late after dark In a world of love where they burn like Nero You write them a check and you then add zero ...

Live Review: Justice + Empror & Duppy Beatz + Tribes + Django Django + Band of Skulls
An early arrival to Leeds Festival, tent erected (relatively) easily and I am ready for my musical marathon.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/16934/ | 246 hits
CD Review: Red Star - Law And Order
'Law And Order,' the debut album from Huddersfield's Red Star, kicks off with 'Northerners (In London Town).' This piece of low-key, laidback indie grooviness relies mainly on a strong vocal performance from frontman Will Bloy and some simple electro beats that add that extra oomph to the chorus.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10446/ | 609 hits
Live Review: Misled Vision + Cutout Hero + Dum Flux
Dum Flux opened up the evening in a punk rock fashion. Melodic, energetic but let down by out of time guitars and slightly out of tune vocals.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/1029/ | 338 hits
Live Review: Easy Star All Stars
A band who'd do whole Reggae cover albums of prog rock classics invite dismissal as a novelty act, but for years, largely until the Bob Marley/Roots revolution of the early/mid seventies, Jamaican artists commonly interpreted the work of American and UK artists.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10135/ | 451 hits
CD Review: Homebrew - The Heart of Insurrection
Homebrew's 'The Heart of Insurrection' is oldschool, cider-swilling punk rock with galloping drums, spiky riffing and bunged-up vocals aplenty.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10831/ | 330 hits
CD Review: The Dead Formats - The Dead Formats
The overriding characteristic of The Dead Formats' debut EP, is the complex and seemingly random use of main, backing and gang vocals, which gives each song on this six track EP a sloppy, oldschool punk vibe feel that's refreshing amongst the current trend for studio gloss.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/11011/ | 685 hits
CD Review: White Boys For Gay Jesus - White Boys For Brothel Med Clinics
With a name like that, and songs titles such as 'File To Fuck' and 'Pussy Cake' White Boys For Gay Jesus seem set to be a deliberately annoying, deliberately offensive band with Bloodhound Gang style tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10366/ | 1,054 hits
CD Review: Exit State - Bad Days
'Bad Days,' the debut single from Lancashire's Exit State is catchy, bass-driven, mid-tempo rock. Its chorus follows the tried-and-tested formula of gang harmonies bouncing off frontman Roy Bright's hoarse-edged vocals.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10765/ | 613 hits
CD Review: The Offspring - Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace
The Offspring are one of those rare bands who can get away with putting out the same record time and time again.

Live Review: Lone Wolf + Rosie Doonan + Mi Mye + Brown Hound James
To set the scene, savage winds and sideways rain plague the landscape on a dismal student night in Wakefield.

CD Review: Saving Lenny - Driven To Distraction
On receiving a lovely 7" sized plastic sleeve I eagerly anticipated the smooth black vinyl slipping out into my hand.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/362/ | 496 hits
CD Review: Innerpartysystem - Heart of Fire
Following their recent profile boost, thanks to the success of re-released single 'Don't Stop,' Innerpartysystem release this six-track EP 'Heart of Fire.' Title track 'Heart of Fire' lays a veneer of glitches and light-electro synths over dark, reverberating riffs, before launching into a thumping, drum-heavy chorus and hook-packed pop vocals.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10688/ | 327 hits
CD Review: The Marmozets - Out Of My Control
Without being patronising, to say Bingley-based band The Marmozets have an average age of sixteen (and, apparently, this EP was recorded when they had an average age of just fifteen,) 'Out Of My Control' is impressive.

CD Review: Dub Pistols - Worshipping the Dollar
The best friends in life are the ones who you don't see for years but as soon as you meet up it's as if you only saw them last night.

Live Review: The Raveonettes + The Veils + Headway
Ahhh The Raveonettes. The first time I saw them was in May last year, mostly to promote 'Beat City', the final single from their debut mini-LP 'Whip It On'.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/2346/ | 992 hits
Live Review: Hood + Semi Squared + The Unpleasants
Tonight really didn't start well. After I'd encountered the frankly bizarre system of a 'paying guestlist' (?) we are told that due to technical difficulties, original support act Printed Circuit had to pull out, so enter Hood keys man Gareth Spencer and his side project The Unpleasants.

CD Review: Last Temple Orchestra - Untitled
The debut EP from Leeds' Last Temple Orchestra begins in promising fashion, with the excellent 'Inside.' Its spring-heeled drums are tempered by echoey chords, giving it an interestingly ethereal edge.

CD Review: The Dead Orchestra - Force Of Habit
Following on from their untitled first EP, West Yorkshire four-piece The Dead Orchestra release another four tracks of indie-pop, string arrangements and shiver-inducing synths.

Live Review: Junip
OK sleepy heads, no cheating now. Hands up who knew Jose Gonzalez had a band of his own that have been slipping in and out of consciousness since their school days in Sweden at the back end of the 90s?

CD Review: Jack Butler - Fit The Paradigm
'Fit The Paradigm' is the debut single from Scotland's indie-rockers Jack Butler. The album kicks off with current single, 'Hit It Out The Park, Son' and, right from the start, frontman Liam Kelly has a voice to split opinion.

Live Review: Soberskin + Robochrist + Project New City
Enthusiasts of tonight's bands nervously surround me, uniting in small rival groups, all with a clear objective at hand, to support and more importantly, cast a vote for the devoted band of which they are acquainted to.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/2867/ | 579 hits
CD Review: The Black Box Revelation - Set Your Head On Fire
The debut album from Brussels' The Black Box Revelation kicks off with the sleazy rock and roll of 'Love, Love Is On My Mind.' Erratic drumbeats, jerky riffs and Jan Paternoster's all-over-the-place vocals give this album-opener the sort of vibrant-but-ramshackle energy you'd expect from a live performance.
www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10543/ | 568 hits
CD Review: Charlotte Gainsbourg - IRM
'IRM' by Charlotte Gainsbourg is a strange album. Initially, it won't elicit much - or possibly - any reaction from you but, after a few listens, you'll be wondering how you ever managed to resist Gainsbourg's whimsical charms.

Live Review: Tunji + Secret Signal + Labyrinth + The Reckoning

CD Review: The Birdman Rallies - Gondola
The first issue I noticed with this CD is that it is titled "Gondola," yet features some vaguely equine illustration for the cover art.

www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/2431/ | 1,674 hits
CD Review: Bowling For Soup - Sorry For Partyin'
'Sorry For Partyin' is Bowling For Soup's tenth studio album and, while it's definitely not a case of all killer, no filler, it's a fan-pleasing slab of the tried-and-tested Bowling For Soup formula: sexual innuendoes; big, pop-infused choruses; hidden tracks, and plenty of tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
