Live Review: Blink 182
I have this problem with Blink 182. At first I hated them, with their oh so funny fart jokes and massive over exposure, then I heard the albums and really liked them for their clever, witty and well written songs, then I saw them live and hated them again for their piss poor performance, lack of drive and reliance on dog/ dad/ dinosaur raping antics.

CD Review: The Alamo - Hello Venus!
It's fresh, it's loud. It's the Alamo. Four bars, four beats, four songs, four kids. And they're doing a great enthusiastic blast of natural rock with no frills and no attempt to imitate anyone except themselves.

The Faversham is not my favourite Leeds venue, to put it mildly.

Live Review: The Blackout + Take the Crown
The queue out here is massive. Why this show is going on in the smaller room of the Cockpit tonight is anyone's guess, but by the looks of things outside, they didn't quite think this through.

Poison The Well's progression into more of an experimental-sounding band was the best possible thing the band could have done.

Live Review: Stateless + Samsa + i concur + Worriedaboutsatan
It is about 8.15 when the Worriedaboutsatan boys set up in front of the Brudenell stage. There is a small crowd of people gathered to watch Gav and Tom as they begin to create strange noises scattered with heavy cut up beats and slow swarming chords.

Live Review: The Maccabees + Peggy Sue and the Pirates
Peggy Sue really deserved this high-profile support slot with The Maccabees. The two female voices of Katy Klaw and Rosa Rex are just so mature, soulful and powerful for their young bodies that they seemed to stun the crowd into awed appreciation.

CD Review: Exit State - Bad Days
'Bad Days,' the debut single from Lancashire's Exit State is catchy, bass-driven, mid-tempo rock. Its chorus follows the tried-and-tested formula of gang harmonies bouncing off frontman Roy Bright's hoarse-edged vocals.

CD Review: Ske - Life, Death, Happiness & Stuff
OK, this is getting ridiculous... yet another Icelandic band ventures down south for some loving. Ske (which means 'happening' in Icelandic, but 'slut' in Japanese) are a collection of writers and musicians that work in the fields of theatre music, film music and TV ad jingles that decided to make an album of guitar based pop songs.

CD Review: Young Professionals - Pleasure Time
I am a very easily confused person. I hold the Guinness World Record in Stupidity for asking a friend of mine, in a tone of complete seriousness and slight concern, "Tom, what day of the week is Thursday the 25th of October, please?" Therefore, the level of bewilderment currently accruing and simmering away in the vaults of fluff at the back of my brain is slowly but perceptibly rising.

Live Review: Marilyn Manson + LCD Soundsystem + British Sea Power + Komakino + Maximo Park + O Fracas + The Adventures Of Loki + ¡Forward, Russia!

CD Review: Fugitive - In Transit
Hard rock outfit Fugitive specialise in swaggering riffs and brash, rock and roll choruses lifted from an era before hard rock splintered into so many hyphenated subgenres.

Live Review: The Music + The Rain Band + The Bandits
I was excited about this gig. I've enjoyed The Music's debut album and have been looking forward to tonight for sometime - tickets sold out about 4/5 weeks earlier so I was expecting an electric atmosphere inside this rather strange new venue under Leeds train station.

CD Review: Alestorm - Black Sails At Midnight
'Black Sails At Midnight' is one of those rare albums that'll leave you wondering "why has no-one tried this before?" Scottish four piece Alestorm take the gimmicky-but-actually-pretty-fun battle metal formula popularised by European metal bands such as Turisas, and replace references to Odin and Vikings with tales of quests, treasure and wenches.

Live Review: Biffy Clyro + The Pigeon Detectives + The Young Knives + Micky P Kerr + Mute Math

CD Review: A Textbook Tragedy - Rain City State Of Mind
Often mentioned in the same breath as Architects and Misery Signals, the latest EP from Canada's A Textbook Tragedy has a rougher, more 'live' feel than the recorded output of either of those bands.

CD Review: Broadway Calls - Good Views, Bad News
Pop-punk is currently a rather oversaturated genre; so, do we really need Broadway Calls' sophomore effort 'Good Views, Bad News?' Well, not really, although if you're looking for a 90s style, back-to-basics shot of melodic punk, you could do a whole lot worse than the Oregon three-piece.

Live Review: Aces & Eights + The Voltaires + Honeycomb Love
Aces & Eights are one of the only recent bands who have not come directly from MySpace. Rather than relying on the support of their, admittedly, over 1000 "Friends" they've worked their way up through the grimy Leeds pubs to arrive, not quite signed and slightly tainted, at the Cockpit.
