Live Review: Bloc Party + Hungry Ghosts + Los Campesinos! + The Ting Tings + Editors + The Last People On Earth + The Subways + The Automatic + The Blackout
The last day of the festival. It threw it down on Saturday Night but when The Blackout came to the main stage, they had a little battle with the elements.

Live Review: Bloc Party + The Futureheads + LCD Soundsystem + Komakino + Maximo Park + VHS or Beta + O Fracas + ¡Forward, Russia!
Three days, four nights (five, even, if you're hardcore, or none if you're of the wired, Lucozade Tablet-guzzling insomniac variety), thousands of lovely boys attentive to the lure of (so) many an alluring female, two hundred bands, two million pints of Carling and two famed yellow wellies; it's all about numbers.

CD Review: Bloc Party - Little Thoughts
From the opening of this song the bass drum hits every beat, the four on the floor providing the engine for the song.

CD Review: Maximo Park - Our Velocity
It's Second Album Syndrome for the class of 2005. So far, The Kaisers and Arcade Fire seem to have done pretty well for themselves, as have the ever outspoken Bloc Party.

CD Review: Downdime - Seeds of Hopelessness
This is a spiky-jangly-punky-patchy-catchy-pop and I like it. A wail of distorted guitar crashes in and we're off at a frantic pace headlong into the new wave.

CD Review: This Et Al - Wardens / Rotary Queen
With a perhaps more accessible style than their mates Forward Russia there is just a chance that if they keep churning out this sort of quality, This Et Al could end up being the VHS of the relationship.

CD Review: The Tailors - A New Hairdo
It may seem an odd follow up for Trash Aesthetics, the label that opened the eyes of the world to Bloc Party and The Rakes, to take a gamble with some country music but that's exactly what they've done.

CD Review: The March Hares - Untitled
This isn't a bad little EP from this newly formed London ensemble; actually it's quite good although after reading their extremely long-winded blurb I got the impression they may be trying to be too alternative for their own good.

CD Review: The Steers - Julia
Usually, doing a bit of on-line research on a band as you sit listening to their latest single will reveal a little juicy fact or will at least give you the bit of inspiration needed to start writing - even if you just find out the band members' names and where they're from.

CD Review: Redcarsgofaster - Sanctuary
At first - average pub band, at second - a very credible culmination of UK rock stylings, at third - a rather immense experience plagued with the swerve and confidence of another very exciting prospect from Leicester's emerging indie scene.

CD Review: The Printed Sound - A Tale Of Two Cities
Nice name. Nice sound. First track 'A Tale of Two Cities' is a nice little stomp of a song, all plodding beats and clean, choppy guitar stabs.

CD Review: Test Icicles - Circle, Square, Triangle
I love hearing a song for the first time on the good ol' MTV2 and getting excited about it. It's reliably a tingly feeling that only comes around once every so often and should be embraced while you apprehensively wait for the credits to role to reveal the artist responsible.

Live Review: Kurtis Blow + Furious Five
'you say one for the trouble, two for the time...' We hear new music all the time, but most of the time, of course, it's not new, it's a fresh take on familiar themes, or a little bit louder and faster than the known.

CD Review: The Cribs - Hey Scenesters!

Live Review: The Young Knives + So So Modern + The Killers + Seasick Steve + The Mystery Jets + British Sea Power
British Sea Power start the final day and drive away any remnants of the morning's deluge. Unfortunately the wind, or the Main Stage's volume limiter, conspire to also wash away the sound, so only the manic flag waving at the front gives hint to how good they are.

Live Review: The Mystery Jets + This Et Al + Napoleon IIIrd

Live Review: The Fret + 4 Letter Holiday
Having become rather disconsolate by seeing many unsigned bands who simply mimic their heroes, often succeeding in recreating the look rather than the sound of say the Libertines, Oasis and the Strokes, it was refreshing to see two bands for whom the music definitely came first at the Bassment.

CD Review: Cazals - What Of Our Future
Scuzzy indie chancers and childhood playmates of Pete Doherty, Cazals caused a few excited murmurs in the East London grotty party scene a few years back, and after being spoken about in the same sentences as The Rakes and The Paddingtons, signed, quite (un)surprisingly to the 'super-cool' and 'uber-trendy' French label Kitsune.

Live Review: Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies + Pixies + The Subways + Infadels + Ali Whitton + The Black Velvets
Quickly cast aside as quite frankly preposterous any mistaken apprehension that the hushed rumours and tales whispering their way around the Red and Yellow campsites on Saturday morning were of Maiden's amazingly iconic 'Number Of The Beast', Bloc Party's 'Pioneers', aftershow craziness, or even, god forbid you little scamps, the prospect of going to the Aftershock Bar later to more-than-hopefully (with all fingers, toes and, ahem, everything crossed) catch a glimpse of a naked girl in the jacuzzi (not that you could see anything though, I did make it my duty to do a little research).

Live Review: ¡Forward, Russia! + Komakino + Kubichek!
John McGee gets all giddy and silly and drunk and strange things happen while watching bands. Forgive me if I come on like a drunken raconteur but that's where the story begins, like all good stories should, in the pub, over a formerly nursed pint of cider now in smithereens on a tiled floor.

Live Review: The Longcut + Dartz! + Hot Club De Paris + The Whip + Hadouken! + Pull Tiger Tail + Yes Boss + Example
It's all just about to get a little bit Nasty. The great thing about dubbing yourself a 'festival of nu-wave' is that you pretty much have the leeway to put anything you want on the bill and slam the indiscriminate tag of 'nu-wave' atop and no-one will bat an eyelid.
