CD Review: Darker My Love - Alive As You Are
Darker My Love's 'Alive As You Are' album is sedate indie-rock with psychedelic vocals, which takes the route of repeating the same blurry-eyed hook over and over, until the song eases its way into your memory.

Live Review: The Butterfly + White Boys For Gay Jesus + Mishkin
The Engine Room is made of metal this evening as the most entertaining DIY night in Leeds introduces us to three bands that are as heavy as led - The Butterfly, Mishkin and the wonderfully titled White Boys for No.10 Down Syndrome Street (more usually known as (the slightly more offensive) White Boys For Gay Jesus).
