Mutya, or Mutley as I like to refer to her, was once a member of the Sugababes. Did you know that? Course you did!

CD Review: Groove Armada - From The Vaults 1997-2007
At first glance of the cover, it's quite confusing to what the title of this album actually is, as 'GROOVE ARMADA - 10 YEAR STORY' stares you in the face, yet in the top left corner, 'From the Vaults 1997-2007' peers in discretely.

CD Review: Brass Moustache - Brudenell Groove
Brudenell Groove sparkles like frost on a sunny day. It zings like lemon juice in a salad. It's three smart-arsed young men doing a sort of acid jazz thing right there in your back yard.

CD Review: Various Artists - The Trip: Compiled By Joey Negro
Joey Negro is described in his biography as the "master of all things dance-floor and credible", which he probably is if you live in the kind of world where you refer to the act of making love as making sweet music and you don't mean it as a joke.

CD Review: New Jack Swing - s/t

CD Review: Mommy & Daddy - Live How You Listen
I read the biog and listened to the CD; I read the biog again and listened again; I re-checked the biog and listened a couple more times; I gave it to a friend - he read the biog and listened, he also re-read the biog and listened again; We both turned to each other and shrugged!

CD Review: Tunng - Comments of the Inner Chorus

CD Review: Various Artists - FOPP Award For New Music 2005

Live Review: Bad Beat Revue + LaRusso + Western Suburbs
Let's get this over with. Western Suburbs have a female drummer. She's hot. Men stare, under the pretence they are watching the singer of course, but you can see their eyes wander slightly toward the back of the stage.

CD Review: Kid iD - Please Tell Your Friends
I like the cut of Mr. Pelleymounter's jib. Firstly, he's got a pretty fantastical last name. Secondly, his sleeve notes include the words, "If you like this music then feel free to copy, rip, burn and pass it on to as many people as you like." This is an important lesson for unsigned bands; just get your music out there.

Interview: Vessels
Leeds' own Vessels set off on a tour with Oceansize this week and, as a precursor, play Upstairs @ The Library on Wednesday 27th January with Quack Quack and Juffage. Leeds Music Scene gets a bit geeky with Tom Evans (vocals/guitar), Martin Teff (bass/guitar), and Pete Wright (bass/guitar/keys).

CD Review: The Shadowcops - A Big Pot Of Hot
It seems a prerequisite that any band on Manchester-based independent record label TNS Records' roster, will specialise in shouty, snotty, DIY punk rock played at quadruple speed, and The Shadowcops are no exception.

Live Review: Fifth Goodbye + The River Club + Rays of Helios + Twist Eye
Leeds' local punk, emo and ska promoters Strikepunks put on a veritable banquet of emo hardcore deliciousness this Friday, as the Cardigan Arms played host to four hot new bands playing the circuit for nothing more than that which is the greatest love of all, that wonderful love of music...

CD Review: Kong - Snake Magnet
While Manchester's Kong have their own distinct sound, Brew Records' latest release continues in the vein of previous signings, most notably improvised prog-rockers Castrovalva, and the mental vocal stylings of Chickenhawk.

CD Review: Red Light Company - Fine Fascination
'Fine Fascination' is an album that makes no efforts to disguise its ambitions: it's an album that wants to fill stadiums, and it sounds fittingly huge.

CD Review: Various Artists - Future Relics
'Future Relics' from Geek Pie Records is loosely based around the idea of a compilation being discovered, following the collapse of society as we know it.

CD Review: Tiger Shadow - The Rise of The Tiger Shadow
Leeds' Tiger Shadow have a very distinctive sound, but for a point of reference, think somewhere between Skindred and Gorillaz at their most hip hop, with some Faithless thrown into the mix.

CD Review: Various Artists - NME The Album 2009
The press release that accompanies this two disco compilation gives NME the moniker of "the pioneers of all things cool" before promising us an album that "has its finger on the pulse, so you don't have to!" It couldn't possibly be any clearer that this is an album for people who see a band on the front cover of NME, and then spend the next week enthusing about the greatness of said band, regardless of whether they like them or not.
