CD Review: Ice Black Birds - As Birds We'd Be Fine
'As Birds We'd Be Fine' is Brighton based Ice Black Birds' second single. It has a slow, steady Kings of Leon feel about the verse that gradually builds to a chanting style chorus.

Band Profile: The Meerkats
Wedding/Function Band. One of Yorkshires very best. - Using professionally recorded drums and bass, they produce the sound you would expect from a full band. The perfect choice for any wedding, party or function. Styles vary depending on what suits you; from pop, blues, rock, soul, to jazz. With over 6 hours of material they can tailor their sets to suit any situation. The added bonus is that because there're a duo they can easily undercut the prices charged by full sized function bands.

CD Review: Two Legs Bad - Untitled
Funk Rock bands are a dying breed (discuss in 500 words or less). The first question then is why? Because the majority of them are not very good and they tend to be the biggest exploiters of tired and tested, slap-bass-riff-driven, meandering five-minute background music.

CD Review: Jewel - 0304
On first hearing that Jewel had recorded a Pop album it seemed a strange move. This down to earth, cowboy dating, sensitive poet ditching her acoustic guitar in favour of a beat box?

CD Review: Kill Hannah - Until Theres Nothing Left Of Us
Kill Hannah's 'Until There's Nothing Left of Us' saw a US release in 2006. Now, two years later, it finally gets a UK release with a modified tracklisting that sees a number of the album's original songs dropped in favour of three tracks from Kill Hannah's as-yet-unreleased-in-the-UK debut, 'For Ever and Never.' The result is more a 'best of' than a coherent album, but you can hardly blame Kill Hannah for wanting to make the best possible impression on the UK audience.

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.

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.
