CD Review: Blowback - Bad Hair Day
Knowing very little about the band Blowback, the CD went straight on and instantly I was given the (good) impression that the CD was going to kick ass, an American lo-fi sub-pop post-punk and seriously rocking affair, from the guitar intro to the introduction of drums and bass - then the vocals kicked in, the tempo lowered and I thought "Hmmmmm".

Live Review: The Maccabees + The Hair
The Hair make me want to do reasonably mucky things to people. I think. I'm not sure. Either that or maybe find a partner to relive certain aspects of 'Dirty Dancing' with right there and then on the shiny wooden floorboards of The Faversham, except we'd incorporate more modern and perhaps more subtle dance moves whilst substituting those items of footwear now relegated to the depths of a chiropodist's hell with slightly more comfortable shoes.

Live Review: Sky Larkin + Tangled Hair + Double Muscle + Yonderboy + Just Handshakes (We're British)
When I arrived at The Packhorse on 26th March I was greeted by a sign saying one of the most unholy things I have ever seen, "Unfortunately That Fucking Tank can no longer play." However despite this initial disappointment the entire day was brilliant, however seeing as if I were to sit here and review all 15 band I would be here for the rest of my life, trying to piece the night back together through drunken hazy flashbacks, so I am just going to review the 5 bands that stood out the most to me who are; Sky Larkin, Tangled Hair, Double Muscle, Yonderboy and Just Handshakes (We're British).

"Left foot, motion! Right foot, stand still! I don't need these words!" No, you do not, Sam Robson. You do these things with your legs involuntarily, as though possessed by a more sexually-frustrated John Travolta, only sporting a more scruffy nature of clothing, jeans dripping with condensation, an explosion of hair being thrown around your noggin.

CD Review: The Dharma - Can You Rely On Them
Upon receiving this CD, I thought - 'Looks promising, very slick. Maybe a better photographer could have made the live looking cover shot look a little less like they are performing at an open jam night to an empty pub.' 'Can You Rely On Them' is a tune that upon first listen seems to pull no punches, upon second or more listens you will be thinking 'what the hell is going on with these guys.' It is filled with lots of quirky little solos, which do showcase a lot of musical talent that is there, somewhere!

Live Review: four day Hombre + Drat
"i found a skull today by the motorway its bone was paper thin could crack under anything" because drat create fiercely intelligent ferociously random observational songs with two guitars a bass a drums and a notebook that lends catchy loops to some of the quirkiest yet shamelessly honest compositions i've encountered for a while sung through telephones bolted to microphone stands following introductions every bit as surreal i mean songs about bells palsy don't hit you in the face very often even if youd only half notice when they did but drat are an aural and visual acyclovir-prednisone cocktail tasting of smile on my lips which is of course a first rate thing as the bending notes plus quirky chords swish with sway around the busy buzzy royal park cellars where there are no s m u k punk royal girls stretching today but lots of untailored folk instead even sitting on the floor which is effective although i wouldnt as its covered in stout spilt earlier but got away with i think a sample lyric might shed some light so theres one at the top of the page on their exemplary website there is brittle pale blue and theres even a guitar tuner so go and observe for yourself four day hombre get better and healthier every time i glimpse them which hasn't been enough lately but sufficient to see their hair grow out as their songs strengthen until i love the choruslines that flex and spin like simone clarke like on don't go gently where they probably really did give it away but its okay to remember and reflect that if your miss u contestant did thump you in the chest it was probably just to keep you going believe me sometimes thats more than you deserve child then the im sorry song lifts the place back up in a flurry of oxymoronic harmony joy soon theres drink too both beer and tea which is apt since four day hombre are so very english sounding by which by i suggest they are eloquent when using its not like it used to be you need to download the video you need to offload but in the interim simon or richie or both can do that for you by proxy while you put your hand in the back pocket of those jeans but not to buy the boys the drinks they request from the stage maybe later because right now bathed in red light he looks like john cale before the nobodys little girl song resolves and until the epic single room wends steadfastly into the night we don't have to go home from for a while yet

Live Review: The Bazaars + The Research
The Research look like three students who have just put down their pot noodles and picked up the nearest instrument. This isn't necessarily a disadvantage. They are relaxed performers, casually introducing each song and smiling knowingly at each other when Sarah supplies another dodgy fill. It feels like they might call the whole thing off half way through a song. Thankfully they don't.

CD Review: The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Ok I know that The Mars Volta have always been a bit of a controversial subject, bit like marmite really; you either love them or you hate them.

Live Review: Hope of the States + Richard Jones
The gig-opener Richard Jones tentatively occupies the stage, hunched over his guitar with hair carefully covering the face.

Live Review: The Pattern Theory + Conquering Animal Sound + Juffage
The Packhorse isn't a space that lends itself to Juffage's usual live acrobatics (his typical antics make swinging a cat look positively risk-free and space-saving), but it's testament to the substance behind the eccentric style that his set stands sturdy without some of the visual trappings.

Live Review: Simple Kid + Black Wire + Komakino
There's a lot of competition for our attention in Leeds this evening, there's the Wannadies with Mommy and Daddy at the Cockpit, there's a whole city filled with vulnerable teens pissing mum and dad's money up the wall in fresh meat week, and best of all there's the episode of Eastenders before the one where Dirty Den comes back.

Live Review: O Fracas + Bromheads Jacket + We Start Fires + The Fold
There always seems to be something rather good going on at The Faversham at the moment. In tonight's case we're treated to a single launch party in aid of those young new wavers O Fracas, the single in question is "Zeroes and Ones".

Live Review: Biffy Clyro

Live Review: Guillemots
The Cockpit is the place of dreams. Yeh, maybe a bit hyperbolic, but somehow smothered in truth. The venue, which is a stone's throw from the train station, is the hub of uncategorisable style dripping with the Northern nonchalant indie darlings clad in their sprayed on jeans.

Live Review: Fyfe Dangerfield
"I can't believe I just said that; why did I say that?", Fyfe sniggers after wryly introducing the two rather elegant violinists at his side as "my bitches." Wearing a haggard suit and sporting the audacious combination of socks and sandals (he later admits he forgot to pack another pair of shoes before he left home earlier that morning), he casually tussles with his golden hair, looking more like a bohemian businessman than anything else.

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.
