CD Review: Lynchpin - In The Interest of Absolution
I do not proclaim to be an expert in the genre of metal by any standards, but listening to In The Interest of Absolution from North Yorkshire's nu-metallers, Lynchpin, it all seems very familiar, and I am doubtful that is because I have heard this particular band before.

Band Profile: We'll Die Smiling
We'll Die Smiling are a three piece screamo outfit from Leeds, the band started from the members getting sick of bands rehashing the same old BMTH riffs over and over and over again so they decided to make their own music taking their influences from much earlier bands and creating a harsh technical sound, driven by progression, innovation and passion.

CD Review: Black Noise Choir - Cadence
Alternative. Alternative is a term used so often today that it begins to lose all meaning, but when I came across this track it was like it had become crystal, because that's exactly what this Leeds 6-piece are. It becomes clear that this isn't a band that just get together, knock out a few riffs and 'slap' a vocal on top.

CD Review: X is Loaded - Trench
It has to be said that on first listen, I struggled to find anything worthwhile on this album. As the follow up to 2004's 'Raw Nerve' debut album my expectations were high, especially after seeing their strong set live.

CD Review: Young Rebel Set - Walk On
How a record is promoted and how it actually sounds are often very different things. A great example is 'Walk On,' the forthcoming single for Young Rebel Set, who according to XFM and NME alike are supposedly one of the most promising emerging indie bands to come out of Britain this year.

CD Review: Seven Hours - Blue

CD Review: The Subways - Oh Yeah
'Oh Yeah' represents everything that is thrilling about The Subways; their beauty, youth and passion all rolled into just under three minutes of loud, racy punk rock.

CD Review: This Et Al - Everything's irrelevant and no idea's original
The big art rock sound of This Et Al has plenty of variety and invention about it. There's a range of influences from Radiohead through Mogwai to Interpol and a vigorously accomplished approach to playing their instruments.

Opening tonight's proceedings in a serene and candid fashion are acoustic two piece, Pilla. The hushed male and female vocal dynamics demand the entire crowd's attention in Hi Fi and they are given a warming performance of laid bare folk numbers with more than a nod towards the poppier end of the folk spectrum, along the lines of Stephen Fretwell perhaps.

'Common Existence,' the fifth full length offering from post-hardcore pioneers Thursday, kicks off in the best possible fashion, with impassioned anthem 'Resuscitation of a Dead Man.' This album-opener delivers a shot of abrasive noise, threaded through with long, grinding chords and black-hearted synths.
