CD Review: Mommy & Daddy - Live How You Listen
I read the biog and listened to the CD; I read the biog again and listened again; I re-checked the biog and listened a couple more times; I gave it to a friend - he read the biog and listened, he also re-read the biog and listened again; We both turned to each other and shrugged!

For as grandiose as their biog describes them, employing such everyday phrases as "dramatic melodic edge", "distinctive atmospheric sound" and those favourite biog-bites "inspiration" and "soaring", The Xenith Sound are a rock band.

CD Review: Accolade - Untitled
Right to begin with I promise not to make any comments connecting poor bands with Bradford - I have recently had several, shall we say sharp remarks, pointing to the fact that I may be being unjust regards the city.

CD Review: The Brent Flood - s/t
It's hard not to think the worst when a band talks on their website about making "the big push" and send a proud-as-punch biog that name drops supports with James Blunt.

CD Review: Unfinished Drawings - Ciara Star
This young Leeds 3 piece offer a piano-led soft-rock set on this their second EP. But don't be fooled, this is no Keane and nor is it as purported in the biog "the softer moments of bands such as Biffy Clyro, Straylight Run and Feeder" which is in itself a bizarre enough concept for a band's sonic aspirations.

CD Review: Black Nielson - Love Song To Chan Marshall
The words "best kept secrets" in anyone's biog may as well read "Never really made it... yet" and the story of Black Nielson would certainly go some way to supporting the theory.
