Live Review: This Et Al + Saving Lenny + Drag Cars Drive Too Fast + Farewell Party
So here we have an "unsigned band showcase". Call me bitter, and even counter productive in the encouragement of fledgling bands but I hate these things.

Live Review: Bury Your Dead + Your Demise + Bury Tomorrow + Viatrophy + Heart Of A Coward + Annotations Of An Autopsy + Ingested + Breaking Point + Martyr Defiled + Demoraliser + Broken Teeth
Featuring more breakdowns than the M1 and more stretchers than you could shake several sticks at, Ghostfest has once again descended upon the city of Leeds to lay waste to the University for the weekend; featuring a massive 32 bands spread over 2 days, there is, simply put, no better festival out there for fans of hardcore and metalcore.

CD Review: Louise Distras - Spiders
Starting with a gross generalisation (what else), I'm not really very keen on the kind of new-punk-folk solo-artist thing going on at the moment.

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: Reuben - Blamethrower

CD Review: Sounds Like Violence - With Blood on My Hands
A light that burns twice as brightly burns twice as fast, and on the basis of Sound Like Violence's debut long-player the incendiary chutzpah of the Swedish quartet's first EP has been replaced by a rather limp and Killers-lite approach, that possesses all the spark of a twatted cooker.

CD Review: The Silent Type - Kneel
The Silent Type put the fun back in funereal on this hand-numbered limited edition 10". Adjectives like drawn-out and gloomy are seldom associated with a recommendation but 'Kneel' envelops you from the first of its many tortured lines: "I'm no longer fit to kneel at your altar".

CD Review: Brutality Will Prevail - Root of All Evil
South Wales breeds hardcore. I no longer have to imagine the Welsh punk rock-rooted counter culture scene as a massive glittery concussion of post- hardcore contraventions such as The Blackout or Kids In Glass Houses.

CD Review: Samuel Foxton Welles - Pony and Trap
Debut album from Yorkshire-based individualist Samuel Foxton Welles is a charming, old-fashioned and eccentric trip through the English countryside, where the worst thing that can happen, is getting knocked off your bicycle while carrying a basket full of eggs, and all the locals know that you should stop to let a tractor pass.

CD Review: The Hickey Underworld - The Hickey Underworld
Belgium's The Hickey Underworld are one of those bands who are desperate to be seen as 'weirder' than they actually are (just take a look at their website, but not if you've neglected to update your computer for a while, all that moving imagery may be more than it can handle.) This is particularly odd as, although The Hickey Underworld aren't your average post-hardcore band, they're hardly pushing brave new ground.

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.
