CD Review: Superelectric - Music For Joyriding
"10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0-Do It!". The 16 second countdown of Go! is complete. Having listened to the Superelectric demo CD (absolutely amazing) and seen the live show a couple of times I could see a different direction on their free CD, Music For Joyriding.

CD Review: The Reverse - Shutterspeed

Live Review: Nic Armstrong + David Viner
Geordie Nic Armstrong is old before his time, but thank the mighty Nashville Lord because his delta-swamp, blues-rock is the perfect antidote to the ageing process.

CD Review: Pollen - Lonely In The Crowd
I get hayfever. Real bad, sometimes. But this particular strain of Pollen is infectious and debilitating in the best possible way - it will make you 1) sing (uncontrollably and loudly) and 2) stand there in shock unable to do a thing except sniff, your eyes watering, but for an entirely different reason to that large and inconsiderate yellow field a few streets away.

Live Review: The Fall
Rumours a-plenty, stories abound. Prior to tonight's gig, various fora have been discussing Smith's behaviour, where at Stoke, for example, he wanders off stage half way through a song, no-one knows where he's gone, and he appears up on the balcony watching the rest of the band play.

I think every girl would secretly like to be a Donna. I mean, what teenager doesn't want to wear a pair of cowboy boots, some tight rhinestone-embellished jeans, plenty of beads and toss their suitably windswept and tousled beachy hair around their face and a stage for a good half hour or so?

CD Review: Paul Weller - Dragonfly
These days a new Paul Weller release is generally treated with a sense of mystery or confusion. Straight up mod-blues rock or experimental double albums, it seems that the modfather himself doesn't really know what direction he's heading in.

Ever since Pythagoras, the history of angularity has been one of sharp peaks and troughs.

CD Review: Kubichek! - Not Enough Night
Ever feel yourself losing control? Recently I've found myself thinking, almost hoping for someone to step just a little out of line and give me a reason to take a swing.

CD Review: Kasabian - s/t
Flippin' 'eck, lads, talk about a statement of intent. Imagine you are gliding through irridescent layers of space dust and stars like that bit at the beginning of every Star Wars film where the plot outline slices through the galaxy and gets progressively harder to read...

Saturday arrived and we all hoped the mud had dried out. It hadn't. If anything it had gotten worse overnight.

Live Review: John Cooper Clarke
With glacial slowness forty-five minutes of Frank Sidebottom creaked by - not for everybody of course, just for me and anyone else who'd already waited thirty years to re-encounter John Cooper Clarke on Leeds University territory.

CD Review: Ali Whitton - Kisses/Curses
"What is love except a way to lose a friend? What is life except a means to an end? What are you except a reason for me to show a little hope?" Okay, okay, so I'm an over-emotional little soul; therefore, I will automatically take under my wing any waif-like 'singer-songwriter' (there are those heinous words again) with a tear stirring behind their eye and a pitiful rip in their denims, no matter if they're good, middling, or, quite frankly, rubbish, out-of-tune whine-bags.

Live Review: The Breech + Mahoney + The Ebb + Vatican Jet + The Acutes
Five bands. The Fav. For free. F me! It must be Easter Sunday. First on The Acutes bang out their bluesy rock which, when you consider the band have no bass player, brings obvious but perhaps unfair comparisons with The White Stripes.

Live Review: Hella Cholla + Fran Rodgers + The Bacchae
It's already the penultimate Futuresound heat but nobody seems to be tiring just yet. In fact, given this evening's exciting array of artists, there will perhaps be a higher number of people disappointed to see the competition wind up than those relieved to push it towards its conclusion.

Live Review: Kasabian + Infrasound
Leeds 5 piece Infrasound kick things off with the aptly titled "Fire in the City." Bringing the Happy Mondays' penchant for funky beats and mixing it with the earnest pounding of the Walkmen if only fronted by Ian Curtis, the band produce a nice line in giddy space epics.

CD Review: Veil Cassini - s/t
Veil Cassini's debut EP proves that the Devon quartet have a hundred and one ideas when it comes to music, and for some reason they try to cram every last one of them into two songs, 'Silhouette' and 'Box & Cox.' Take almost any part of these musical mazes and you'll find enough off-kilter ideas to kit out five more songs.
