CD Review: Chickenhawk - Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk's debut long-player is an ambitious and heroic montage of many different types of metal. Crunching riffs swing themselves between battering rhythms and off-kilter tempo changes, and are often interspersed with throat-destroying vocal theatrics and glitches of weird electronica.

CD Review: Heroes for Sale - Untitled
I will say right at the beginning that this CD gets steadily worse as it goes along. It starts off in the average-to-good category, a mixture of punk-metal but unfortunately peters off, with the last two live tracks not too inspiring to say the least.

Debut single from Thyrd Eye offers up an uncertain mix of musical styles that's initially jarring.

CD Review: Desert Monkey - Made Great By A Breeze
Starting off with the title track sounding like a rougher Kyuss with furious bluesy guitar riffage and fat drums, Desert Monkey are looking like quite the heads down, balls to the wall rock band.

CD Review: The Scaramanga Six - Baggage
Baggage is unfortunately in possession of the dodgiest 5 second intro in music history and you generally have to stick to the rule that anything which reminds you instantly of The Darkness can not be a good thing.

CD Review: The Silent Years - Taking Drugs At The Amusement Park
Following hot on the heels of their 'Climb On My Back' single, The Silent Years release 'Taking Drugs At The Amusement Park.' Sadly, where 'Climb On My Back' combined a luxuriant indie-rock haze and simmering riffs to intriguing effect, the first thing you'll notice about 'Taking Drugs At The Amusement Park,' is how flat the chorus is.

Live Review: The Black Keys
Ohio's finest are here at last. After two nondescript support sets The Black Keys take to the stage to a rapturous welcome from the Leeds crowd, who seemed a bit volatile tonight it has to be said, as even before the band had taken the stage, a fight had to be broken up by bouncers.

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.

CD Review: The Black Box Revelation - Set Your Head On Fire
The debut album from Brussels' The Black Box Revelation kicks off with the sleazy rock and roll of 'Love, Love Is On My Mind.' Erratic drumbeats, jerky riffs and Jan Paternoster's all-over-the-place vocals give this album-opener the sort of vibrant-but-ramshackle energy you'd expect from a live performance.

Classic 70s/80s Rock sounds different from each side of the guitar.

Live Review: Ghosts in the Nightclub + The Troubadors + Silverlode + Frankie Eisenhower
I missed Miranda Arieh tonight and I have no excuse for it, sorry. But I stumbled in eventually and had the pleasure of seeing Frankie Eisenhower.

CD Review: Rollerball - Untitled
I was slightly nervy before reviewing this CD; the reason being that I'd heard a number of people comment adversely on it - at first I could see what they meant; but the more I've listened to it the more it has developed.

Live Review: The Xenith Sound + Milf + Nex
The basement of the Royal Park pub is pretty empty as Nex take the stage, but it quickly fills up once the reverberations can be felt through the floor upstairs.

CD Review: Runaround Kids - Kiss Chase
The first professional release from Wakefield's Runaround Kids takes a little while to get going, thanks to unnecessary 'introductory' song 'Kiss Chase.' The spine-tingling atmospherics and frontman George Garthwaite's distant, crackling vocals make this sound bizarrely like the soundtrack to an episode of flash-in-the-pan online cartoon sensation Salad Fingers, which makes for um, interesting listening.

Live Review: The Bluetones
On entering The Cockpit the support band (M.A.S.S I believe) are nearing the end of their set, after a brief listen we decide to stay in the bar and prepare to jostle for a position near the front of a packed crowd.
