CD Review: The Glitterati - Back In Power
Mainstream rock. For so long it's been a dirty word, associated with the kind of dross that Bon Jovi would call 'mind blowing'.

CD Review: Crystal Castles - Vanished

CD Review: Embrace - Nature's Law
Poor Embrace. Faced with the fact underground success will never be theirs and the acceptance of those wimpy looking skinny kids in tight jeans being even further away, they sold their collective soul to Lucifer with middle management demeanour himself - Chris Martin.

Buen Chico? Is this some kind of Latin dance band or something? That's what I first thought when I read the name, but I was pleasantly surprised when I popped on the CD and heard what I would describe as feel good, easy indie.

CD Review: The Audition - Self-Titled Album
The Chicagoan quartet are back on top form with their third studio album, simply entitled 'Self-Titled Album.' This is the band's first release since the departure of original bassist and founding member Joe Lussa and the follow up to 2008's 'Champion.' The opening track 'The Running Man' is an upbeat song with a catchy chorus and an electric mix of drums and rhythm guitar.

Pop, soul, jazz, funk. Chichino are inspired by all areas of music, and it's paying off.

CD Review: Mogwai - Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait
Mogwai have always been seen as one of the rightful heirs to the upper echelons of the post-rock pantheon, their 1997 debut Young Team proving to be both a boisterous statement of intent and the warning shot that was fired across the bows of the bloated sub-Oasis-junk that was cluttering the mainstream hinterland of the time.

CD Review: The Flaming Lips - The Wand
The Flaming Lips are one of those bands who seem to have reached a comfortable plateau mid-way between commercial success and critical credibility; cool to enough to be dropped into earnest conversations over Jack and Cokes in bohemian watering holes, mainstream enough to be a regular fixture on the lucrative summer festival circuit.

CD Review: Cazals - What Of Our Future
Scuzzy indie chancers and childhood playmates of Pete Doherty, Cazals caused a few excited murmurs in the East London grotty party scene a few years back, and after being spoken about in the same sentences as The Rakes and The Paddingtons, signed, quite (un)surprisingly to the 'super-cool' and 'uber-trendy' French label Kitsune.
