CD Review: The Subways - Rock & Roll Queen
It pains me to tell you this dear readers but it's disappointment time again. I'll admit that when I heard the Subways' previous single "Oh Yeah", I liked it.

CD Review: Ciaran Hafferty - Untitled
Three songs of pleasant strumming and little distinction from this Leeds based singer songwriter. All the songs show an ear for melody and are definitely in the Evan Dando bracket, track 2 "Love Burns" could easily be lifted from The Lemonheads' "Shame About Ray" era.

Live Review: The Fall
Rumours a-plenty, stories abound. Prior to tonight's gig, various fora have been discussing Smith's behaviour, where at Stoke, for example, he wanders off stage half way through a song, no-one knows where he's gone, and he appears up on the balcony watching the rest of the band play.

CD Review: Unexploded Shells - Hexthorpe 1
A posthumous tribute, even if there is the occasional mediumistic tremor on Myspace. Neither too slick nor too coltish, Unexploded Shells' CD revives an old-fashioned tension in the listener over whether the band will make it to the other end of the performance tightrope without dropping off and landing on the self-destruct button.

Turning your amps up, thrashing your hair around, burning the back of your throat with rocking yells, hitting your cymbals with every beat and repackaging Black Sabbath sped up to fit under 3 minutes does not hide a the lack of a song.

CD Review: Sol Gravy - Sun Son EP
The meandering acoustic guitar and hazy vocals of opener 'Remember Me (Summer Gone)' would make for a pleasantly undemanding ballad, if it wasn't for one seriously misplaced harmonica.

CD Review: Cortney Tidwell - Don't Let The Stars Keep Us Tangled Up (Ewan Pearson Remixes)
It's not unusual to find dance-based remixes of indie artists left wanting, so when the title track from the Nashville-based Cortney Tidwell's 'Don't Let The Stars Keep Us Tangled Up' is given a dance-floor makeover you have every right to be dubious.

CD Review: This Et Al - The Figure Eight EP
We'd seen angry young men come and go before, and Leeds has been brim-full of earnest tunefulness for years, but from the early days This Et Al seemed like something a little different (remember the red shirts?) But here, three years on from the split 7" that launched Dance To The Radio, the main differences between themselves and contemporary Leodensians such as the band with whom they shared that single, ¡Forward, Russia!, seem to revolve around the resolute failure of the national media to pick up on their efforts.

Playing out like a power pop ballad, 'My Wena' lacks the unabashed exuberance of Bowling For Soup at their finest (it's no 'Punk Rock 101' or 'High School Never Ends') but the combination of Jaret Reddick's utterly straight-faced delivery; melodic riffs and wink-wink-nudge-nudge double entendres is guaranteed to raise a smile.

Live Review: Les Incompetents
Only a handful of bands have lyrics that when cut bleed humour and wit, music that sparks involuntary bouts of movement resembling that of a seizure, an image gleaming like a 6ft neon sign that says 'now', a set void of a single poor effort AND who possess the ability to hold an audience even if they were doused in Kerosene and set alight.

This is good strong stuff and you don't have to fear its somberness, or shy away from having the whole lot at once: there's enough grace, sinew and primeval mass here to deserve a chance of being the main thing in your brain for a half an hour, even if the opening title track looms out of the silence to establish a portentous presence, and having done so, rather slips away in a slow heartbeat rhythm and female vocal.

CD Review: Herdwhite - Put Down Your Weapons
Herdwhite sounds like more of a music lover and collector than a music creator. Their digital empire runs to a lot of neat bits and pieces, lovingly spliced out of the earlier days of electronic dance euphoria.

CD Review: The Little Darlings - Fit For Purpose
The Little Darlings have about the most appropriate name for a band at the moment, as it just about sums up their music perfectly.

Live Review: Novacain + Kenosha
With the withdrawal of Tempting Kate from proceedings, tonight's Futuresound heat has a delayed late, which means by the time Kenosha arrive on stage there's for once a decent if not huge crowd in attendance.

Live Review: Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk make blistering, creative guitar noise, with moves that double-underline the message of redemption through symmetry, surprise and LOUDNESS.

CD Review: Loqui - The Average White Boy
There's no wasting time with Loqui, 3 seconds in and I am already reaching for the volume knob. Here I am presented with two bitesize chunks destined not to fit in anywhere whilst still remaining a bit too familiar and of course it comes as no surprise that Loqui don't seem to care either way.

CD Review: Six By Seven - Ready For You Now
This is a right good conventional guitar/keyboards band doing a proper pop song with all the right ingredients and no artificial colouring.

Quite simply: wow! The Automatic are one of the rare 'new' bands if you will that seem to me to go from strength to strength after each single; yet seemingly unnoticed.

CD Review: Surferosa - Lucky Lipstick
"Synth-punk", "funk punk" and "neo-trash-pop" is what they say, and it is true to say that Surferosa are more pop than punk, with a sound dominated by a synthesiser and Mariann's powerful, yet seemingly glitter-and-candy-obsessed girly pink voice.

CD Review: The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
"That's Not My Name" is a punchy shot of girly spazz-pop, caterwauling its way through three and three quarter minutes of sparklingly riotous perfection.

CD Review: Grammatics - The Vague Archive
Grammatics, hailing from Leeds are an interesting mixture of cellos with indie pop rock. Having a real soft spot for classical music myself, I was slightly apprehensive at this unusual cello/indie mash up.
