CD Review: Jim Noir - My Patch
Jim Noir's first single was a quirky piece of pop if ever there was one. His second offering bangs a drum to pretty much the same beat.

Three nice tracks featuring the fractured brogue of Jamie Lockhart, born in Scotland (I assume) but currently folking up Wakefield with some well chosen accomplices.

CD Review: The Lights - Grand Union
For the most part this West London outfit offer a mix of guitars, sultry vocals and synthesiser that makes for uptempo, fairly harmless but fun listening.

CD Review: Kelli Ali - Rocking Horse
Third solo album for Kelli Ali, who must get sooo tired of only being known as the former singer for Sneaker Pimps (you know, 'Six Underground', you've probably got it somewhere), it must be a mixed blessing that since being asked to leave over 10 years ago neither party has been best known for their chart bothering.

CD Review: Jackson Palmer - Sun In the fall
The Leeds scene is generally short of Americana bands. But living in West Yorkshire and not the Mid-west of America, is no disadvantage to Jackson Palmer, who manage to sew some darn juicy alt-country seeds in that there Yorkshire soil!

CD Review: Glassfactory - Untitled
Having formed only just over a year and a half, this four piece are already on their second, self produced, EP and have a sound which is far more accomplished than you would expect for their time together, a kind of catchy, technically solid, alternative rock with a feeling of credibility.

Live Review: Grandaddy
Apparently trucker style baseball caps are now "cool". Well Grandaddy were wearing them long before the ponces and poseurs deemed them suitable to wear and continue to do so now they are, but for much different reasons I'm sure than the world's fashion victims.

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".

CD Review: Casiokids - Kaskaden
If spring had decided to actually fulfil its seasonal commitments; instead of deciding that after a fleeting visit, it wasn't really worth the effort and sulking off to Europe, then the perfect post equinox soundtrack would've been the debut album, 'Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen' from Norwegian synth-poppers - 'Casiokids'.

CD Review: They Drove Me To It - Support in the Downtime
My first impression of They Drove Me To It is one of striking familiarity, which isn't a good start. The opening salvo of 'Enemy' and 'Kill Your Martyrs' could have come from any one of today's indie-lite wannabes, albeit with female vocals and a tad more distortion.

Debut single from Thyrd Eye offers up an uncertain mix of musical styles that's initially jarring.

CD Review: Wildbirds & Peacedrums - The Snake
After releasing their debut album, 'Heartcore,' through Yorkshire's own The Leaf Label to widespread acclaim in 2007, Swedish husband-and-wife duo Mariam Wallentin and Andreas Werliin jumped straight in at the deep end with a follow up the next year. Their sound is raw, primitive; there is nothing of The White Stripes here. Maintaining the stripped-down feel of 'Heartcore,' second album 'The Snake' builds evermore layers of complexity onto the basic vocals and percussion set-up, bringing in glockenspiel, marimba, flute and hosts of other tinkling, twinkling other-worldly sounds. The landscape of 'The Snake' is a frenetic and turbulent one, with Wallentin's vocals meandering deftly through a veritable helter-skelter of styles and octaves; one moment her voice is as deep and powerful as Nina Simone's or a jazzier PJ Harvey; the next, it takes on a fragile tone more akin to the fragile warbles of Anthony Hegarty or Baby Dee. All the while Werliin's 'peacedrums' are pounding rhythmically in the background, tribal and animalistic, as Wallentin guides us through their fairy tale wilderness. Live, they are a sight to behold, with shrieks and smashes melding together in a crashing chaos of complexity. First single 'There Is No Light' is a prime example of this controlled chaos; an anguished, churning mess of a song; but these raucous numbers are punctuated by slower, delicate tracks such as 'So Soft So Pink,' which sounds exactly as one would expect from the name, with soft drums and tinkling cymbal crashes built around vocals as understated and brittle as glass. Listening to the album, you get the impression that the vocals and drums are each telling their own, distinct stories throughout; stories which compliment and interlace with each other but which are individual narratives, each with their own directions.

A half-filled room welcomed London-based three-piece The Primms onto the stage. Having heard the quite average two-track "Do You Know The Future?" EP (released on Destabilize Records), my hopes were less than high, and, unfortunately, the same blandness and mediocrity of their recordings was evident in The Primms' live set.

CD Review: Bedouin Soundclash - 12.59 Lullaby
Bedouin Sounclash's Last single 'When The Night Feels My Song' was a first-class track, a real feel-good number and although serving us with the same optimism, '12:59 Lullaby' attacks in a less direct way; a chugging rhythm with a voice overflowing with emotion that leaks through unintentional breaks in the vocalist Jay Malinowski's articulation.

CD Review: Waking the Witch - Boys From The Abattoir
This CD concludes with desire for a solid Yorkshire Boy. Well, if it weren't for the age-restriction built into that phrase, a front runner could be Michael Parkinson - because much offered by Waking the Witch in the eleven new songs on Boys From The Abattoir has the type of showbiz gleam that earns the attention of Barnsley's elder statesman.

Band Profile: Made Out Of Babies
Formed in 2004. As their playfully gruesome name suggests, Made Out Of Babies are not a demure or delicate band, but a vehicle of cathartic assault; as evocative as The Jesus Lizard, as imaginative and impassioned as Björk, as disturbingly frank and unnerving as Big Black, the New York City quartet conjures a wholly unique sense of claustrophobic fury, undermining the listener's sense of order and rationality.

Formed in 2004. As their playfully gruesome name suggests, Made Out Of Babies are not a demure or delicate band, but a vehicle of cathartic assault; as evocative as The Jesus Lizard, as imaginative and impassioned as Björk, as disturbingly frank and unnerving as Big Black, the New York City quartet conjures a wholly unique sense of claustrophobic fury, undermining the listener's sense of order and rationality.

CD Review: Tindersticks - Waiting For The Moon
Tindersticks are one of the UK's most talented, and rather unfortunately, overlooked bands of the past 10 years or so, and 'Waiting For The Moon', their latest LP, should go a long way to help give the band the attention they deserve.

CD Review: Katatonia - Night Is The New Day
Although the phrase 'symphonic, atmospheric doom-metal' may conjure up visions of ten minute long, utterly thankless, glum-faced instrumentals, the eighth full-length offering from Swedish doom-metallers Katatonia administer eleven shots of compact, melodic doom-metal that bucks the genre's trend for self-indulgence.

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).
