CD Review: The Gold Fever - California / Hear My Voice
Oh no it's that dreaded genre, a genre in which a band can be very very good or damn shite! Strangely enough The Gold Fever are neither, they have simple Ramones style guitar riffs mixed with indie melodies and vocals, yes kids, here we have another Indie-punk record, a genre which has confused us all.

Live Review: Milloy + Latterman + The Mercury League + You, Me and the Atom Bomb
I am sorry again to The Dauntless Elite and Ruin You, who I missed because I was late with my tea. But I did catch You, Me and the Atom Bomb from Portsmouth, who were great, like skate punk with a harsh voice and catchy riffs.

Live Review: Razorlight
To a backdrop of a velvet curtain and harsh white lighting Johnny Borrell exploded onto the stage. His extremely accomplished voice swept through all our favourites: 'Golden Touch', 'In The Morning', and so on.

CD Review: Diverse - It's Making Me Crazy EP
Diverse. A word true to fact in this band, as five people from backgrounds ranging from members of senior choir to musical freaks come together and create a musical sound which is so new in today's scene with two vocalists.

CD Review: Slash Bikini - Demo
I should really like York's Slash Bikini. They play punked pop tunes unlike anything I've heard for ages and write interesting lyrics about everything from drinking taboo to crashing your motorbike.

CD Review: Band Of Horses - Funeral
Too many bands these days have lost, or never found their mystique in attempt to drive home the harsh facts and harsher reality of our lives.

CD Review: Underoath - O (Disambiguation)
It seems that Underoath have taken a harsher approach since the departure of Aaron Gillespie. Gone are most of the clean vocals (although McTague does the ones still included) instead replaced with Chamberlain's noticeably harsher growls.

CD Review: The Dresden Dolls - Yes Virgina
The duo of Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione return for their second album, still wearing their cynicism-tinted spectacles and still with wit, melody and taboo in tow.

CD Review: Bon Iver - Bon Iver
When I first heard that Bon Iver were bringing out a new album (entitled 'Bon Iver'), I did not really know whether to be happy or not.

CD Review: The Psychedelic Breakfast - s/t
The Psychedelic Breakfast charge in where most would fear to tread. They have a very rough grasp of the way that some of the Los Angeles/San Franciso musics sounded nearly 40 years ago, and the sleeve displays a fancy dress appreciation of the basic visual elements of hippy chic.

CD Review: Hayashi - Rosebud
I'm going to cut pretty quickly to the chase, this debut album is pretty shocking. Or should I say becomes pretty shocking as after then first few bars I really thought I was in for a treat.

CD Review: The 39Steps - Coming Clean
'Coming Clean,' the lead-off single from The 39Steps' debut album, is three and a half minutes of beautifully understated atmospherics, with chiming synths and eerie sound effects looped to hypnotising effect.

CD Review: Feeder - Picture of Perfect Youth
Feeder have made the right decision here I think. Four albums into their career many bands (or record labels perhaps) would go for the cash cow 'Greatest Hits' album.

CD Review: Lail Arad - Who Am I
Dripping with a very British sense of humour, Lail Arad could very easily be described as the replacement for Lilly Allen, but that would be very harsh indeed - although it does give an idea of the genre this fits into.

Live Review: Ryan Spendlove + Daniel Lucas
On what was a cold damp evening in Wakefield, Guy Fawkes night seemed to be a good night to spend indoors, rather than freezing your backside off watching a bonfire and fireworks, which seem to lose their sparkly charms after the millionth bang.

It's a CDR. It's a high street bought CDR in a plastic wallet with a computer printed piece of artwork on cheap paper.

CD Review: 10,000 Things - Titanium
10,000 Things are the band you wanted to be in when you were a kid. The Jim'll Fix It chance to play dirty sleazy riffs and wail boisterous, filthy lyrics until your lungs bleed.

Live Review: Adam Masterson + F-iamma + Hera
The first act on tonight's multi-cultural tour is the Icelandic beauty, Hera. Although not normally swayed by singer songwriters, finding them too introspective and mood dependant, Hera undoubtedly has a remarkable talent.

CD Review: Ric Neale - Someone Else's Home
The most crucial factor for the success of any acoustic act, is the lead singer's voice. Thankfully, Ric Neale's voice is more than up to the mark.

Live Review: Northern Theremonic + Happy as Larry + Ramon + Graham Coules
I came tonight for only the second time to the Royal Park pub and I was indeed a Panama Virgin. I had heard good things about Steve Kind and his nights and was eager to find out if they were true.

Live Review: Jesse Malin + Headway
Nottingham's Headway may or may not have chosen to call themselves the same thing as the Brain Injury Association, but they certainly do not induce any sort of injury on you.

Live Review: Pilot to Gunner + Kenneth Ishak + Oubliette + That Fucking Tank
It was a brisk night, a cold night, a night that flirted with rain and hail showers. The Clue Machine - part bionic, part cybernetic, frivolously journalistic - suckled upon a cigarette in his car, digesting his prior investigation of the venue.

According to commentators at the recent BBC2 Folk Awards; the genre is making a comeback and is becoming especially popular with today's young people, but of course they would say that, wouldn't they?

Live Review: Scars On 45 + The Faraways + Redwire
I'll admit it, before this gig I had never heard of Scars On 45. We were mainly there to see Redwire, so when we got into the Cockpit and saw that the big room was open I was surprised.

CD Review: Lostboy! - Lostboy!
Just in time for summer, Lostboy! (aka Jim Kerr) releases his full-length debut, an album of gooey-centred pop-rock, more often than not smothered in a summer's day haze.

CD Review: Glaciers - An Excellent Field Geologist
'An Excellent Field Geologist' from Leeds-based Glaciers (aka Nicolas Burrows) opens with Brooklyn,' a track of simple beauty, relying solely on a steadily plucked acoustic guitar, a few atmospheric synths, and some halting, lullaby-like vocals.

Live Review: Happy Daggers
Unsure of what to really expect from my evening, I tentatively made sure my bow tie was securely in place, tried not to look too self conscious and alighted the steps into a wonderful little boutique, hidden away in Leeds' market district - Paper Dress Vintage.

CD Review: Pifco - Pifco A Go Go
Pifco are one of those bands you're either going to love or hate. The first potential deal-breaker is frontman Ste's habit of barking incoherently rather than singing, which will leave a good many people scratching their heads before switching 'Pifco A Go Go' off.

CD Review: One Day, After School... - Untitled
From Wakefield's One Day, After School... comes a four track demo bringing together tracks previously released on a number of compilations, including 'Geek Pie III' and 'Do You Suffer From Philophobia?' First up though, is previously unreleased track 'Softly Softly.' As the only song not to have not enjoyed a compilation release, it is, rather expectedly, the weakest of the bunch.

Live Review: Foo Fighters + Arcade Fire + Rise Against + Hot Hot Heat + The Kills + Dogs + Arctic Monkeys + Million Dead + Nine Black Alps + The Explosion + Senses Fail + Editors
Sunday started like any other day. Apart from this Sunday I happened to wake up in a field with 30 odd thousand other bear soaked, bleary eyed, unwashed, desperate bladder controlling festival revellers.
