CD Review: The Scare - Bats! Bats! Bats!
The Scare? Let loose in a recording studio? After seeing the lead singer Kiss rub his crotch on a crowd member's face, then convulse on the floor for several minutes, I never thought the day would have arisen.

CD Review: The Casanovas - Nasty
The Casanovas are an antipodean rock band, which should tell you something. Picture the big riffs (think ZZ Top), swagger vocals (Mick Jagger) and 80's rock drums.

Live Review: Bear Hands + Wonderswan
Wonderswan played short and effective songs delivered in an almost nonchalant fashion. Their lead singer revealed that he only arrived an hour before the gig due to his 'rubbish' job which prompted an unlikely call and answer of "Does anyone work in a call centre here?" They will be keen to follow in the success of call-centre founded bands Baddies and Editors.

The first act to play the bigger stage of the Cockpit tonight are Ins and Outs. The Leeds-based band stumble through a set of 'lager rock', accompanying two big pairs of lungs which concentrate on being as loud as possible, instead of the idea of tuning. What did entertain the crowd was probably more to do with their unique dance moves.

Live Review: Burst Rondo + Brigade + Vatican Jet + Nothing Special
Joseph's Well in Leeds have played host to some rather well-known bands if their posters are anything to go by - and over the last few months it seems like they've booked mostly Biffy Clyro support bands (thisGirl, The Boxer Rebellion, X is Loaded and some little London outfit named Brigade...).

Live Review: King Prawn + Whitmore + Not Katies + Fletcher + Mr Shiraz + Sonic Boom Six
This long awaited punk festival finally arrives in Leeds, but not to the punters' disapproval. With doors opening at four, most people are expecting local band, 25th Cock (as Rich from Not Katies informs me) to be arriving on stage soon, but instead they don't even bother to turn up.

Live Review: The High Chairs + Run Down Square
It was with some trepidation that I approached The Mixing Tin last Friday as the bassist of reasonably new boys on the scene The High Chairs, had been sporadically emailing me and seemed like such an affable and friendly chap that I was absolutely terrified that the band would be awful and I'd have to say something negative about them and crush poor Roj's hope and dreams.

Live Review: Erin's Third Incident + Plutonium + Eukanuba
Eukanuba (I think that's what they're called) look like your dad playing rock music, squeezed into tight leather trousers (disappointingly I already used the World of Leather comparison in a previous review, but it applies here, too) with too much hair in some cases, and not enough in others, and being festively plump from the seasons celebrations.

Live Review: The Subways + The Holy Terror + The Detonators
It's splendid when a trip down to a nearby pub results in you getting nicely sloshed and seeing a good band.

Live Review: P'Kipsie + Simon Wood + Simon Allen
For most bands, The Packhorse can be a difficult venue to play. There's no rise or platform, eliminating all majesty of "taking the stage", it's like walking to the other side of your living room.

CD Review: Father - Inspirita
Inspirita is one of those albums that get better with every listen. It's an album which draws all kinds of influences, from Metal to Jazz.

Live Review: King Prawn + Mr Dogg + Mr Shiraz
Now this was a weird experience for me. My knowledge of Ska/Punk essentially stops at dub and gets about as animated as a stoned lemur, but I had heard the MR SHIRAZ CD, "Off The Tongue", so at least knew I wouldn't be sitting down much through the evening.

Live Review: Aiden + Kill Hannah + Brigade + Serpico
From the start, the excitement in the crowd is palpable. Most people normally only turn up after the support bands are finished but tonight, with the anticipation of Kill Hannah almost as high as the anticipation for Aiden, people are already flooding the Cockpit.

Live Review: Look See Proof + The Bribes + The Spills
Having played at The Cockpit before to only a handful of people, it wasn't looking good for Look See Proof when myself and my friends walked in to The Cockpit to find only one couple sat in the corner.
