Live Review: Pushbike Army + Mr and Mrs + Killing Fields Of Ontario
Almost implausibly, tonight is the final of the Futuresound heats. All of the bands we've seen so far have been impressively talented in their chosen style, and tonight is no exception.

CD Review: Gary Stewart Band - Tables, Trees and Tripods
I first came to hear of the Gary Stewart Band at the Futuresound heats in July of last year, when I was bowled over by their performance.

CD Review: Ali Whitton - Kisses/Curses
"What is love except a way to lose a friend? What is life except a means to an end? What are you except a reason for me to show a little hope?" Okay, okay, so I'm an over-emotional little soul; therefore, I will automatically take under my wing any waif-like 'singer-songwriter' (there are those heinous words again) with a tear stirring behind their eye and a pitiful rip in their denims, no matter if they're good, middling, or, quite frankly, rubbish, out-of-tune whine-bags.

Live Review: The Lazy Darlings + Jon Jones and the Beatniks Movement + Flowe
There are countless questions that can, and inevitably have, been raised about the Futuresound Competition.

Live Review: four day Hombre + Sixty 6 + Delta Volts
Fibbers of York is a great venue that has started to attract some great bands. Tonight was no exception.

Live Review: Hella Cholla + Fran Rodgers + The Bacchae
It's already the penultimate Futuresound heat but nobody seems to be tiring just yet. In fact, given this evening's exciting array of artists, there will perhaps be a higher number of people disappointed to see the competition wind up than those relieved to push it towards its conclusion.

Live Review: Lorimer + Zane + four day Hombre
Can the quality of unsigned Leeds bands get any higher? The FutureSound 2000 has certainly opened a lot of people's eyes to the standard of music out there in Leeds, and if you think of the bands that aren't even playing...

Interview: The Breech
High up in the 7th floor apartment of The Breech's keyboard player Davoc, overlooking the streets and at the weird and wonderful architecture of Leeds buildings it seems an appropriate place to talk about the state of the Leeds music scene, and more importantly the burgeoning and healthy looking future of The Breech.

To coincide with Leeds celebrating its 800th birthday this year, Leeds City Council and promoters Futuresound have put together a ground-breaking city-wide, three-day music festival over the second May Bank Holiday weekend (25th, 26th and 27th May) with hopes that the event will become an annual event on the music scene's calendar.

Live Review: Cellar Door + 4 Letter Holiday + Friday's Ghost + Soberskin
I arrived at The Vine late to see there was a change to the original line-up for the night. Wakefield three-piece Soberskin had conceded their slot third on the bill to open the night.

Live Review: RoboChrist + Nshwa + Eventually + Glasshouse + Urban Eyez
Hyde Park's Unity Day Festival could be described as a mini Glastonbury, complete with kid's field, several music stages and all sorts to look at and petitions to sign.

Live Review: thisGirl + The Lucida Console
So this is emo? Well not entirely, but there were enough tight black jeans and lip rings on display down at Joseph's Well to have fooled even the most enlightened hardcore critic.

Live Review: The Playmates + The Hair + O Fracas
Something's in the air tonight at The Cockpit and it's not just the smell of the Leeds music scene's great and good as they sweat profusely in the mid-Summer's heat which stifles the city's infamous indie club.

Live Review: The Tennessee Traincrash + The Grips + The Old House
The intimate carpet, curtains and ceiling lights of the Vine's upstairs room dispense a surreal good humour to all who have entered the packed-out space, up here on the edge of abnormality.

Live Review: This Et Al + ˇForward, Russia! + Mountain Men Anonymous + O Fracas
Upon recent visits to The Vine I must admit to being impressed by the seemingly more coherent approach taken to choosing the line-ups for nights, with what appears to be more consideration given to how compatible bands are both in terms of their musical style and fanbase.

Live Review: Design + Lazer Kid + Beautiful Feet + Draco + Icarus Smith
The annual Bright Young Things showcase has been very much like a 'Kinder Surprise' over the last few years - yes you may look back fondly enough, but you'd rather have a 'Fizzy Cola Bottle' (Futuresound competition) or even a 'Flying Saucer' (local band nite at Joseph's Well) because, at the end of the day, while the 'Kinder Egg' promises much, open it up and a crappy toy that you play with for five minutes and then lose down the back of the sofa is all that confronts you.

Interview: Grammatics
Leeds is a graveyard. Here lies buried This Et Al, Immune, Forward Russia, Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst In To Flames, Polaris and Wintermute in amongst many others. Grammatics were added to the list of casualties on Friday 20th August 2010, their name now etched in stone, and I'm left with the distinct feeling that we fucked this one up more royally than most...
