CD Review: Broken (NY) - Tanjras
If anyone's guilty of throwing the term "sounds like Tool" around, then it's me, and maybe Simon Glacken, but in this case, Broken have obviously been studying their copies of 'Lateralus' and 'Aenima'.

CD Review: Jesse Malin - Broken Radio
This song was made for The Boss. The addition of Bruce Springsteen's vocals to this tale of escapism through the car radio is an arena anthem worthy of its recent blitz on Radio 2.

CD Review: The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers
'Steady, As She Goes' - y'know it, right? That driving romp through backwoods Americana, all gloomy shots of forest-covered mountains, wild horses and ranch-hands with stubble and cigarettes running about everywhere like convicts; that stupidly-infectious, slightly-ominous singalong with offbeat smacks of whiskey-bothered guitar to handclap with and weird little noises thrown hither and thither to swing your hips to?

Band Profile: The Boy Who Trapped The Sun
The Boy Who Trapped The Sun, funnily enough, is not his real name. Colin MacLeod - for it is he- was discovered swinging round the rafters of an Aberdeen bar, dishing out Deep Purple covers and, he says, "generally acting like an arse." Having smashed his guitar and knocked himself unconscious on stage, he set to cleaning up both the broken instrument and his act.

CD Review: Annuals - Be He Me
Originally released last year in North America, Be He Me is the type of experimental indie rock which has already seen the Annuals compared to Canadian giants such as Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene, though a much closer assessment would be to probably think along the lines of a more sonically substantial and sterile version of fellow US counterparts Animal Collective.

CD Review: Ray LaMontagne - Three More Days
Mentioning the name Ray Lamontagne, one of the more successful and respected of the recent tidal wave of unashamed singer-songwriters to have broken the mainstream, will immediately conjure up notions of heart-felt and beautifully crafted songs in people's minds - and, of course, that raspy, expressive voice which gave his work that extra edge on his striking debut.

Live Review: Paul Smith
Every so often in rock history, a scene will evole with an almost predictable pattern: a couple of bands will lay the foundations; several acts will follow suit hanging onto the coattails of the buzz created by the original bands; then as the 'scene' matures, the frontmen will break free in their own right, determined to show they can go it alone and that they have another facet to their musical talent and that they never really needed their band after all.

Live Review: Steer
Received wisdom has it that Steer are something of an acquired taste. On the basis of this performance it is difficult to fathom what it is that needs to be acquired to appreciate their music other than a pair of fairly basic functioning ears.

Interview: The Cast of Cheers
Last Wednesday, 29th February I was lucky enough to catch up with Cast of Cheers, four very charming and down to earth Irish lads. Greeted by smiles and handshakes the band introduced themselves before settling down in the upstairs backstage at the Cockpit. We chatted about their upcoming first European tour, living together and random music choices. All very different characters it became clear later on in the gig how they manage to successfully mix different genres of music together.

CD Review: Cardiacs - Concerts Vol I & II
I give you fair warning. I am about to break the ancient, time-honoured and globally respected code of the International Covenant of Authors, Note-Takers, Writers, Reviewers, Interviewers, Talkers and Editors (or ICANTWRITE for short) covering the critique of musical releases and/or performances on precisely 2 counts. In fact one of these has already been broken. So apologies if this warning comes too late in the day and has already caused you unnecessary distress.

CD Review: Various Artists - Kerrang! The Album '09
The genius of the annual Kerrang! compilation is that, like the Kerrang!-sponsored Download festival, if you're an avid reader of said magazine, then chances are you're already familiar with every last band on this mammoth forty-two track compilation, even the acts being billed as 'ones to watch out for.' Spanning two CDs, it's conveniently split into mainstream-bothering punk and rock songs on the first CD, and metal and heavy rock on the second.

CD Review: Various Artists - NME The Album 2009
The press release that accompanies this two disco compilation gives NME the moniker of "the pioneers of all things cool" before promising us an album that "has its finger on the pulse, so you don't have to!" It couldn't possibly be any clearer that this is an album for people who see a band on the front cover of NME, and then spend the next week enthusing about the greatness of said band, regardless of whether they like them or not.
