CD Review: Beautiful Feet - Unfinished Business EP

Live Review: Design + Lazer Kid + Beautiful Feet + Draco + Icarus Smith
The annual Bright Young Things showcase has been very much like a 'Kinder Surprise' over the last few years - yes you may look back fondly enough, but you'd rather have a 'Fizzy Cola Bottle' (Futuresound competition) or even a 'Flying Saucer' (local band nite at Joseph's Well) because, at the end of the day, while the 'Kinder Egg' promises much, open it up and a crappy toy that you play with for five minutes and then lose down the back of the sofa is all that confronts you.

CD Review: Kid iD - Broken Little Monkey EP
American styley alt-soft-rock-folksy voice boy Ralph Pelleymounter has emerged from the bottomless pit of solo acoustic performers and lends his sultry vocals to the backdrop of a full line up, thus Kid iD are born and henceforth comes this natty little EP.

CD Review: The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know
I shall start this review off with saying, personally, I'm not a great fan of previous Twilight Sad remixes, just because the beauty is drained from the track and some have sounded too forced to sound 'remixed.' After weeks of listening to the Liars remix of Nil after the Sad posted the track up on their Facebook page I've been sceptical into how this album would sound.

CD Review: Tom Jones - Tower Of Song
I get the feeling that all that pomp and sexy reputation doesn't really go down well with Thomas. The last time we saw him he was trying to get groovy on The Voice.

Live Review: Engineers + Magnet
All the way from Norway are Magnet, creating epic and beautiful soundscapes rather than mere songs. Even Johansen has a voice direct from the Gods, and a band of great ability to help him recreate the self-made sounds of his two albums thus far.

Live Review: Stars
I'll skip over Lily Fraser's part in proceedings - if I'd wanted a warbler on a perch I'd have bought a canary - and skip straight to Stars, all the way from Montreal to play at the Brudenell.

CD Review: Various Artists - Pledge - Kerbdog Tribute
As soon as I saw this album was being released I was straight onto the email asking to review it. I have been a long-standing fan of Ireland's metal sons Kerbdog, and just as the world seems to have forgotten about them along comes this tribute album crammed full of covers from their small back catalogue, and featuring a broad array of bands with varying musical influences.

CD Review: Alfie - A Word In Your Ear
Manc lads they may be, yet Alfie give out the merest impression of Manchester musical folklore and attitude when they foray into the whimsical and dreamy world of summertime nothingness.

Live Review: Novacain + Kenosha
With the withdrawal of Tempting Kate from proceedings, tonight's Futuresound heat has a delayed late, which means by the time Kenosha arrive on stage there's for once a decent if not huge crowd in attendance.
