CD Review: Luxembourg - Front
Bless Luxembourg. They're even trying to write the review for me with their press notes. They also take pride in having a "real life audience rather than a virtual one", before going on to say how "myspace had no part in generating the word of mouth...".

Live Review: Your Vegas
Fresh from an NME pasting, Your Vegas take to the Faversham's stage in front of a good sized crowd. The review of new single 'Flybuzz' criticised the band for daring not to be an identikit copycat of every other band you can hear on the radio or read about in the press.

Live Review: Maximo Park
The hall is already filling up not long after the doors open for the gig tonight. Support acts Das Wunderlast and Art Brut bring in impressive crowds, getting the party started with the mixture of Das Wunderlast's experimental indie pop and Art Brut's indie pop punk, showing the audience a taste of the quality that tonight's gig has to offer.

Now almost two years since its release, though not dated a single day, "Mistakes & Regrets" is greeted with the loudest roar of the night before even a word is sung as the unmistakable slow melody line builds up into a blast of intense raw energy, a Stateside version of The Cooper Temple Clause's "Panzer Attack" for want of a comparison.

CD Review: Death In Public - I Really Hate Coldplay
The title might suggest something cheeky and knowing but the reality is a rather humourless affair. Lancaster's Death In Public are dark purveyors of towering inferno guitars and flat vocals but other than the naff production which fights with the mix through out, there is little to remember this 2 track CD by.

CD Review: The Music - s/t
The Music have had a phenomenal start to their working lives. Three years on from their origins in Kippax, expectations and circumstances have said "this album has got to be massive." Early gigs at the Duchess of York in January 2000 showed glimpses of their root talents: a searing voice and twitching charismatic in Robert Harvey and a guitar trance demon in Adam Nutter.

CD Review: The Loved Ones (UK) - Self Destruction for Beginners

Live Review: Wonderswan + Cissy + Trapdoor Minotaur
The first-floor room at Milo's is, under normal circumstances, easily missed. You may have passed it en route to the facilities, but normally you'd be loafing around downstairs thinking that the (admittedly consistent) bar soundtrack was about as much aural stimulus as you'd require for an evening's drinking-cum-socializing.

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.

Live Review: Dinosaur Pile-up
Dinosaur Pile-up were given life threatening early exposure last year. LMS and National newspaper excitement and an abnormally premature appearance on the BBC Introducing Stage at Leeds Festival 2008 could have been too much too soon.

Live Review: Edison Medicine + Brody + Mizkarrage of Justice
Apologies to Mizkarrage of Justice, as I was late (I always seem to be late these days). I got there in time to hear something I recognised but couldn't place and as I was scrabbling round for a pen realised it was cover of something.

Live Review: King Prawn + Mr Dogg + Mr Shiraz
Tonight showed just how much I enjoy spending my time down at Joseph's Well. Less than 24 hours after being played on national radio, a Peel Session no less, the Lorimer boys are out in force again; Chris on the doors as usual and Jock doing the sound.

CD Review: Smilex - Mystique / Sex 4 Sale
Smilex are from Oxford. They're inventive and spirited and should do a fizzing stir-fry of set at the Royal Park Cellars when they come to Leeds on November 1st.

Live Review: Sawthroat + Misled Vision + Esclavage
ESCLAVAGE A rather melodic beginning for a band that seem ready to tear the new roscoe down. This song turns into a roaring mosh-fest in seconds with all members showing good stage presence.

Live Review: Bloc Party + Hungry Ghosts + Los Campesinos! + The Ting Tings + Editors + The Last People On Earth + The Subways + The Automatic + The Blackout
The last day of the festival. It threw it down on Saturday Night but when The Blackout came to the main stage, they had a little battle with the elements.

At midday on the first day of music at a festival, time is usually spent nursing a hangover whilst sipping on a cup of lukewarm tea.
