CD Review: Fell City Girl - February Snow
The idea behind mentioning Sigur Ros in the first line of their bio, was probably a vague effort on the part of Fell City Girl's PR team to try and draw off the inevitable tide of comparisons heading their way.

CD Review: Ganglians - Candy Girl
The heady alt-pop of 'Candy Girl' has a naive, childish quality to it - probably because 90% of the instruments sound like they've been borrowed straight from the toybox.

Live Review: Po' Girl
This was another example of this excellent small venue in Otley punching well above its weight. Po' Girl, essentially a Canadian female duo with subtle rhythm accompaniment, last visited Otley around five or six years ago and, although lovely, engaging and good fun, seemed not quite the finished article in the opinion of this insignificant reviewer.

CD Review: Esteban - Just A Girl
Inspired by PLAN UK's 'Because I'm A Girl' campaign, self-styled 'desert-funk' four-piece Esteban release 'Just A Girl.' Billed as the "alternative Christmas single," 'Just A Girl' is a politically-charged, world-music infused, easy-on-the-ears musical meander, with a genuineness that means it's nowhere near as toe-curling as most charity singles.

CD Review: The Cubes - Digital Girl
A two-track offering from a none-more-indie band from Wetherby. "Digital Girl" isn't a bad song but it does sound a bit like it should be soundtracking a night in the Camden Good Mixer circa 1995.

CD Review: The Sweet Chap - Superman 3 / Girl With A Curl

Band Profile: The Ultra Girls
You may think you've seen girlbands before, but it's been a long time since you've seen one quite like the Ultra Girls. Going back to the roots of what it means to be girls in a band, Lucy, Lauren, Amy and Laura are taking the essence of Girl Power but moving it into the 21st Century by adding slick dance moves, funky vocals and lashings of attitude.

CD Review: The Rosie Taylor Project - Black And White Films
It would be easy enough to dismiss 'Black And White Films' after a cursory listen. Boasting a gently plucked guitar line that trundles along for four minutes without really deviating, and lacking anything that could really lay claim to being a 'chorus', it's a tune that can pass you by as lightly and unobtrusively as a gentle breeze.

CD Review: Plasticines - Barcelona
If Ladyhawke has taught us anything, it's that girl-synth-rock is fit. And Plastiscines have not tried to hide the fact that their break-through single is in fact a complete cover of Ladyhawke's 'Paris Is Burning', where the word "Paris" has been cunningly substituted for "Barcelona." But I've found myself not particularly caring about this complete rip-off at all; 'Barcelona' is a great pop song that ticks all the necessary boxes.

CD Review: The Heartbreaks - Polly
I've been in this situation before. You meet a girl on holiday, instantly take a fancy to her, get talking and get to know each other on a personal level, share a kiss on the dancefloor, she's rattled with confusion and suddenly becomes indifferent, she realises (about three days later) that you're the one, comes back, you share the rest of your holiday together, she becomes the one, the holiday finishes, you're convinced you're going to marry her, she never gets in touch, you lose contact and end up spending the rest of your days in a black hole with only hazy memories of your secret trysts for comfort.

CD Review: Hannah Trigwell - Not Enough
Every once in a while (and usually when you least expect it) you discover something special. A huge (but entirely selfish) part of you wants to keep it for yourself, assuming that if the rest of the world knew about it, that it would somehow get ruined.

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).

CD Review: The Vessels (London) - Don't waste your time
It always strikes me as funny as some bands find fame, fortune and celebrity girlfriend's easy to come by whilst others who provide music in a similar style and of equally, maybe greater, quality are only given recognition in the pages of magazines who employ journalists who actually know what they're on about rather than coke heads who want to look and sound cool, but invariably just sound like cocks.

CD Review: Carnabells - She's a Rollercoaster
These lads don't mess about! Within the first few bars of 'Station Road', the leading track of the EP, you are submerged into a full-on foot-tapping, indie-guitar led assault.

CD Review: Various Artists - Leeds Urban Fusion 2003
According to the liner notes here in the CD wallet of Leeds City Council's 'Urban Fusion 2003' album it says, rather cringingly, that this is a CD "born from hip hop, r&b and urban flavaz" although what 'urban flavaz' is meant to mean I have no idea.

Long considered as the thinking man's Norwegian electronic duo, Royksopp seem to have decided that beguiling soundscapes are so 2001, and this album seems to signal that (whisper it) R?opp have gone pop.

CD Review: Dancing Mice - Solferino
