CD Review: Ocean Colour Scene - Golden Gate Bridge
Britpop's princes, now relegated to mere footmen, once more still keep plugging away and I guess you have to admire their gusto.

Arriving just in the nick of time for summer this breezy little episode is the perfect soundtrack to a Sunday afternoon of lazing in the garden as the sun rains down on your back probably giving you skin cancer.

CD Review: Esteban - Just A Girl
Inspired by PLAN UK's 'Because I'm A Girl' campaign, self-styled 'desert-funk' four-piece Esteban release 'Just A Girl.' Billed as the "alternative Christmas single," 'Just A Girl' is a politically-charged, world-music infused, easy-on-the-ears musical meander, with a genuineness that means it's nowhere near as toe-curling as most charity singles.

CD Review: Mommy & Daddy - Live How You Listen
I read the biog and listened to the CD; I read the biog again and listened again; I re-checked the biog and listened a couple more times; I gave it to a friend - he read the biog and listened, he also re-read the biog and listened again; We both turned to each other and shrugged!

Live Review: Crosscut Saw
It is unaccountable that Crosscut Saw don't seem to have a growing audience. The music room at the Grove is no barn with its licensed capacity of 80, yet going there to see them one can feel concern whether there'll be enough listeners to generate decent door money let alone atmosphere.

CD Review: Captain Wilberforce - Everyone Loves A Villain
This release is quite a confusing listen. The explosive, fuzzy power-pop 'gems' of Captain Wilberforce's previous releases set the tone, with a thoroughly tolerable, bubbly aim to please.

Live Review: Gogol Bordello + Guillemots + Bedouin Soundclash + Kaiser Chiefs + Yeah Yeah Yeahs + The Vines + O Fracas
Guillemots' Fyfe Dangerfield strolls onto the stage behind an abundance of chocolate brown facial hair, plonks himself down at the raised piano and warbles, wails, whimpers, whilst the piercing cries of seagulls reverberate from speakers the size of cliffs and the sound of a thousand glass bowls tumbling down a flight of mountains crashes into our eyes.

Where Darren Poyzer appears, unusual things happen and people enjoy themselves. Over the weekend of 20-22 August, he even had to forego his own birthday gig back in his Glossop-Manchester-Oldham homeland because he'd been such a success at the 'Arts for Life' Edinburgh Festival that they wanted more.

A generous crowd packed into The Vine on a hot, sweaty and very eclectic night. Though competing with The Blueskins playing at The Cockpit, and the perpetually popular Big Brother finale, tonight's gig was well attended and another success for the team at The Vine - a venue that has fast stamped its foot on the Leeds scene and continues to showcase some of Leeds', and as it turned out tonight, the UK's, best unsigned talent.
