CD Review: Nightmares On Wax - In A Space Outta Sound
Nightmares on Wax are one of Leeds' most beloved institutions - particularly among those with a certain predilection for a certain form of naturally growing intoxicants.

CD Review: King Booty - s/t
More funky house music? Oh yes. King Booty sound like some sort of cross between those endless 'chilled dance music' CDs you see clogging up valuable space in Virgin Megastores and the sound of French dance music from about 1998 - 1999.

CD Review: Teenagersintokyo - Peter Pan
Sydney based quintet Teenagersintokyo occupy the halfway point between the dreamy electro-pop of Metric and the spine-tingling gothic-pop-with-added-synths of The Birthday Massacre.

CD Review: The High Wire - Odds And Evens
The new single from London-based trio The High Wire is hand-clap studded guitar-pop. The breezy combination of hand-claps and springy acoustic guitar is balanced out by a touch of darkness to the dreamy vocals and a light veneer of buzzy electric guitar.

CD Review: Dinosaur Jr - Pieces
'Pieces' is the second single to be lifted off Dinosaur Jr's ninth studio album, 'Farm.' 'Pieces' is the typical Dinosaur Jr wall of distorted guitars and frontman J Mascis's vague and winding 'slacker' drawl, cut through with sharper guitar lines that hit those glimmering high notes and give 'Pieces' a sparkling veneer.

CD Review: The Pocket Gods - Nub Country Flyby
The Pocket Gods are the brainchild of singer songwriter Mark Lee and despite the mention of "various guest artists" this is a fairly solo sounding affair - distorted vocals, distorted guitar over a cheap and particularly monotonous drum machine.

CD Review: Cymbals Eat Guitars - Wind Phoenix
'Wind Phoenix' is the third single to be lifted off Cymbals Eat Guitars' 'Why There Are Mountains' album, and it perfectly navigates the potentially dangerous ground where 'dreamy' meets 'dreary.' 90% of this alt-pop number consists of blurry vocals wafting across an insubstantial backdrop of eerie, wind-like synths and haunting chimes.

CD Review: The High Wire - The Sleep Tape
I'm really glad that smoky, hazy, dreamy guitar pop is cool again. Do you remember when Black Rebel Motorcycle first startled us with BRMC back in 2001, and in between hitting us with 'Whatever Happened To My Rock 'n' Roll' and 'Spread Your Love,' we were swooned into semi consciousness with the opium-laced druggy waves of 'As Sure As The Sun' and 'Too Real'?

CD Review: Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God
The debut single from Kaiser Chiefs is quintessentially British guitar pop. And loveably so. Keys - in whatever form - are prominent from the off, introduced via the almost single fingered tinkering of the intro, and at around 3 minutes in there's an "A Day In The Life" like moment, where all parties, including, paradoxically, quietly-screamed vocals, get to build up the sound before heading into a chorus repeat and then fade.

CD Review: Paul Marshall - Vultures
More often than not, folk records come with a seasonal mood in mind, though in the case of Paul Marshall and his debut album 'Vultures' we have a record which seems to encapsulate all four seasons - equally as fitting for a frosty February morning as it is for a sun-drenched afternoon in July.

CD Review: Neils Children - Always the Same
Wow that's a sick guitar sound! Yet it pounds around my head picking up on each one of my senses. This is a crazy indie-punk number from Neils Children, sounding like The Futureheads mixed with Pistols-esque vocals yet they have their own unique psychedelic feel to the piece.

Live Review: Giant Drag + Foreign Born + Joff Whitten
Joff Whitten is a rather talented boy: a solo performer he mixes an acoustic guitar, a bass and wistful vocals, throws them all into a loop, swaps instruments, generates layer-upon-layer and comes out with some rather intriguing folk-pop.

CD Review: Thursday - Common Existence
'Common Existence,' the fifth full length offering from post-hardcore pioneers Thursday, kicks off in the best possible fashion, with impassioned anthem 'Resuscitation of a Dead Man.' This album-opener delivers a shot of abrasive noise, threaded through with long, grinding chords and black-hearted synths.

Live Review: Fran Rodgers + Benjamin Wetherill
Ok first things first I got to this gig rather late and missed the first two acts. I really felt quite bad about that, and it also means I have no words to write about David Broad and Michael Rossiter (who I am sure were fantastic if the last two acts were any thing to go by)...

CD Review: Benjamin Wetherill - Untitled
Stuck halfway between Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake stands Benjamin Wetherill. Like his mentors, he makes beauty out of misery, armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar and the odd flutter of woodwind instruments and a cello.

Live Review: Delays + Hal + Pellumair
After several hours trying to pronounce their name, with variations on 'Pelliump' and 'Effelump' (okay, so we didn't even know what they were called, nevermind how to SAY it), we stand gazing intently at the duo known as Pellumair whilst they drift off into trances.

CD Review: Chiodos - Bone Palace Ballet
Second album from rising Michigan hardcore crew Chiodos begins as it means to go on, with the distinctly operatic 'Two Birds Stoned At Once.' Opening with a shiver-inducing Victorian-tinged violin, 'Two Birds Stoned At Once' recalls The Used's 'The Bird and The Worm,' both in terms of its operatic leanings and the Bert McCracken-like twinge to frontman Craig Owens' voice.

CD Review: In This Moment - The Dream
Right from the start, it's clear In This Moment are desperate to distance themselves from their metalcore debut 'Beautiful Tragedy.' Kicking off with the short intro 'Rabbit Hole,' In This Moment begin to sound vaguely like female-fronted, operatic goths Within Temptation.

Live Review: That Fucking Tank + Stateless + The Davinas
Tonight, in drizzly Pennine country with sleep in its bleary eyes and grit on its railtracks, we wander into this cornerhouse bar to find a large number of children onstage barely out of Huggies and totting up, I estimate, a grand total of four and a half years of age between them.

CD Review: Senser - How To Do Battle
Rap-rock pioneers Senser have existed - in various incarnations - since the 80's, and their faux American accents, rapped vocals, vague but politically-charged ideology, and industrial-metal-meets-hip-hop backing tracks, feels seriously at odds with the current scene.

CD Review: Goldie Lookin' Chain - ASBO4Life
'ASBO4Life' is one of the strangest albums I've heard in a while. In an ideal world new material would be judged purely on its own merits, but when a group has previously always followed such a rigid and distinctive formula, it's impossible not to expect more of the same.

CD Review: Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight
It's been a constant source of wonder why there's been so much fuss made over the perfectly OK Glasvegas this year when another Scottish band released possibly the finest album of 2008 yet escaped the NME's and most everyone else's spotlight.
