Interview: Grammatics
Leeds is a graveyard. Here lies buried This Et Al, Immune, Forward Russia, Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst In To Flames, Polaris and Wintermute in amongst many others. Grammatics were added to the list of casualties on Friday 20th August 2010, their name now etched in stone, and I'm left with the distinct feeling that we fucked this one up more royally than most...

CD Review: Ric Neale - Different Than Before
What a talented bunch of folk Leeds has got in its midst and here's another one. Ric Neale is from the singer songwriter class and on the evidence of this CD he could well be top of it.

CD Review: Dumbsoda - Receding Hairline
Leeds four-piece Dumbsoda make good their attempt at agro-punk. Fast guitars, stop starts, "hey", "ho", and "lets go" used in abundance, and a distinct Celtic influence.

CD Review: The Big Blue - Something To Hold On To
This debut from Leeds outfit The Big Blue offers some heartfelt song writing and a flavour reminiscent of Ben & Jason, The Trashcan Sinatras crossed with the sweetness of Hefner and multi-instrumental indie of Belle & Sebastian.

CD Review: Ali Whitton - Miracle
There's an influx of singer/songwriters at the moment, not just in Leeds but seemingly everywhere. The opening acoustic strum of 'Miracle' is soon followed by Whitton's voice, which contains a distinct quiver to it and gives him and edge from the off, he has an interesting voice and he sounds like Ali Whitton, not someone else.

Band Profile: Liam Stone
Liam Stone is your hero. You'd probably be aware of this already if he wasn't so introverted. His style would probably be categorised as folk or something though he describes it as being 'in the great americana and folk tradition yet with a distinct Northern English twang derived from the stinking, diseased town I grew up in'.

Live Review: The Birdman Rallies
For a local band, playing in a local bar, these guys were obscenely good tonight. I've caught them a couple of times before but this was the one where you think "I'm lucky to be in on this early before everyone else finds out!" Already with a couple of albums under their belt, the quality of the songs shone though tonight, doubtless due to the serious rehearsing they must have done to be this tight.

The Cowboy Junkies are one of those bands that I had heard about but had never actually heard, the only thing I previously knew about them was via the Townes Van Zandt song "Cowboy Junkies Lament." It appears that this was a distinct loss to my musical well-being, this album is thoughtfully crafted with strong song writing credentials and understated instrumentation.

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.

CD Review: Velvet Revolver - Contraband

Live Review: The High Chairs + Run Down Square
It was with some trepidation that I approached The Mixing Tin last Friday as the bassist of reasonably new boys on the scene The High Chairs, had been sporadically emailing me and seemed like such an affable and friendly chap that I was absolutely terrified that the band would be awful and I'd have to say something negative about them and crush poor Roj's hope and dreams.

Contrary to its gothic title, album-opener 'Bed of Black Roses' is a giddy blend of breakneck punk riffs and fizzy electro beats that sets the tone for I Hate Kate's début album 'Embrace The Curse.' Frontman Justin Mauriello, former vocalist of Zebrahead, has the perfect voice for this brand of helter-skelter pop-punk, his strident-edged vocals cutting clearly over even 'Bed of Black Roses' raucous punk chorus.
