Band Profile: The Landaus
The Landaus shine with an energetic, youthful exuberance propelling them beyond their years. Their affinity for subservient dance beats and angular indie rock captured local hearts long ago, and the Hull four-piece, still teenagers themselves, have since dominated a succession of national gigs, ever increasing in profile.

Live Review: Fillip
Many People don't like ska. I am one of those people. I just don't get it! I understand the aspect of "fun" in the music, I understand that many local ska bands incorporate as many instruments as possible in order to rectify the lack of musical talent.

Live Review: Haven + The Crescent
What a stupid rule! You're in the venue but to get to the room where the bands will be performing you have to go back outside and round to the other entrance instead of walking ten yards through the doors in front of you, quickly supping off the fresh pint you've just acquired!

1. Inspired heavily by the work of legendary Nigerian musician Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, MINOTAURS take the funky, slinky backbone of afrobeat and apply it to the indie-rock-folk songs of Nathan Lawr.

Live Review: Seu Jorge
Sure it is a hassle having to wait an extra hour for the venue doors because Seu was late for a sound check but from the strumming of the first exotic chord everyone's qualms disappear.

Live Review: Twin Atlantic + Fighting With Wire
Twin Atlantic seem to have gone rather low profile recently. Despite touring with big names like Biffy Clyro, Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance earlier in their career, the band have never really lived up to the expectation created with the release of the excellent Vivarium mini album in 2009, so it's now, with debut full-length Free fresh in the shops, that the Scottish alternative rock tykes need to up their game some.
