CD Review: Cymbals Eat Guitars - Wind Phoenix
'Wind Phoenix' is the third single to be lifted off Cymbals Eat Guitars' 'Why There Are Mountains' album, and it perfectly navigates the potentially dangerous ground where 'dreamy' meets 'dreary.' 90% of this alt-pop number consists of blurry vocals wafting across an insubstantial backdrop of eerie, wind-like synths and haunting chimes.

CD Review: Maximo Park - Girls Who Play Guitars
The a phrase "post-libertine" is used a lot these days to describe a certain style of music or band; with the emergence of The Futureheads and subsequently Maximo Park I've noticed a large number of sound-alikes sprouting up that could be described as "post-Maximo Park" bands, so it's interesting to see what the forerunners of the "angular" art-pop scene has to offer.

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.

CD Review: Djevara - Third World War: Cast the First Stone
"Third World War", an opening track that explodes in your face, waltzes its way through a world of emotions, and politely passes you onto track two "The Death Of Cliff Richard".

CD Review: The Marmozets - Out Of My Control
Without being patronising, to say Bingley-based band The Marmozets have an average age of sixteen (and, apparently, this EP was recorded when they had an average age of just fifteen,) 'Out Of My Control' is impressive.

CD Review: The Pigeon Detectives - Wait For Me
The Pigeon Detectives have been waiting to unleash this album on the globe, and rightly so. 'Wait For Me', released on label Dance To The Radio, clearly puts the five-piece on the map as more than just friends of the Kaiser Chiefs.

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.
