CD Review: Little Big Men - Lord & Lady Muck
A simplistic, but well presented three-track demo package from Little Big Men, this is a CD I've particularly enjoyed listening to over the past few days.

CD Review: The Sugars - Doo Wop (Sugar So Sweet)
Bands such as Arctic Monkeys may dispute that image isn't everything, and whilst it certainly isn't, it's always good to find a band who, in addition to writing first-rate songs, also have a good ol' bash at looking damned good.

CD Review: Mexicolas - Come Clean EP
Now, I don't think these are Mexicans that like drinking cola, but I have never met them to be sure. 'Come Clean' starts with a thumping tumble of dirty drumming, then leads in to a guitar riff, similar to Queens Of The Stone Age.

CD Review: Ludwig - They Came For My Brain
I really appreciate electronic warped music. Mainly because it's almost like getting dance music and completely screwing the whole lot up creating something original.

CD Review: Dinosaur Pile-up - Mona Lisa
Dinosaur Pile-up's 'Mona Lisa' single would fit neatly onto Ash's 'Meltdown' album (it particularly reminds me of 'Out of the Blue.') The headrush riffing played with a garage-rock style distortion, topped off with twitchy vocals, strikes a perfect balance between sing-along appeal and grit.

CD Review: Dinosaur Jr - Pieces
'Pieces' is the second single to be lifted off Dinosaur Jr's ninth studio album, 'Farm.' 'Pieces' is the typical Dinosaur Jr wall of distorted guitars and frontman J Mascis's vague and winding 'slacker' drawl, cut through with sharper guitar lines that hit those glimmering high notes and give 'Pieces' a sparkling veneer.

The Pocket Gods are the brainchild of singer songwriter Mark Lee and despite the mention of "various guest artists" this is a fairly solo sounding affair - distorted vocals, distorted guitar over a cheap and particularly monotonous drum machine.

Live Review: Jon Gomm + Dorne + Mark Wilson + Baxter Trappe
The upstairs room at the Cardigan Arms is a perfect place for an acoustic gig. With its small, dark room, the atmosphere is made even better by the dozen or so candles that are situated around the room, creating a very intimate feel to the whole place.

CD Review: They Drove Me To It - Support in the Downtime
My first impression of They Drove Me To It is one of striking familiarity, which isn't a good start. The opening salvo of 'Enemy' and 'Kill Your Martyrs' could have come from any one of today's indie-lite wannabes, albeit with female vocals and a tad more distortion.

Live Review: Ludes + Future Kings of Spain + My Red Cell + The Cribs
It's official: My Red Cell offer no comfort to back pain. Not being skilled in the art of medical science or physiotherapy could be an excuse, but I put it to you the reader that if their barrage of leaping and yelping had been in any way exciting I'd have forgotten about my oh-so-amusing fall down a flight of stairs earlier in the day.

CD Review: Uprights - Wall Ball
'Wall Ball' by Leeds' Uprights, is one of those albums where the vocals play second fiddle to all the strange noises the band are able to twist out of a guitar.

Live Review: Cosmonaut + katywithout + Cypher
I'd never been to basement before as I kind of think of it as out of the way, and not somewhere I really want to walk at night, but I saw the note asking for a reviewer, realized it was going to be an electronica based night and then got told I could get into the club afterwards for free, once I had paid for the gig - SOLD!

CD Review: Thursday - Common Existence
'Common Existence,' the fifth full length offering from post-hardcore pioneers Thursday, kicks off in the best possible fashion, with impassioned anthem 'Resuscitation of a Dead Man.' This album-opener delivers a shot of abrasive noise, threaded through with long, grinding chords and black-hearted synths.
