CD Review: The Alarm - In the Poppy Fields
The Alarms' fresh new CD has two halves. Tracks one through six are clear throated, sharp sounding 80s post punk rock, evoking U2, Echo and the Bunnymen, Big Country and The Alarm.

CD Review: Poppy & The Jezebels - UFO
Space rock performed by spaced-out teens, or childish stratospheric meanderings? Lines like "the future's so last century..." might lead you to the latter conclusion, but this is such a jaunty keyboard-driven number that it would be pointless to write it off.

CD Review: Dead Disco - City Place
Girl power. Synth pop. It's in right now and Leeds has a monopoly on cool. Or so it seems. Dead Disco, as their name suggests, are a tad uninspiring.

Over the years all-woman bands and rock haven't always gone well together. They've either been too poppy and flowery like the Bangles or they go over the top like L7, but almost always forgettable.

CD Review: Thee Oh Sees - Warm Slime

CD Review: Eight Legs - I Understand
'I Understand' from Eight Legs is a decent enough slice of NME-friendly indie that does nothing particularly wrong (although, its chorus of "what can this mean / thoughts tumble around in the washing machine" could become mildly annoying if overplayed.) However, it doesn't do anything particularly right, either.

CD Review: Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies
It's a well known fact, pop fans, that when you're in a band and you achieve even the faintest semblance of commercial success - be it a top 30 hit, MTV play or appearing as background music in a particularly septic episode of Hollyoaks - all previously-held scruples and convictions go out of the window.

CD Review: The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know
I shall start this review off with saying, personally, I'm not a great fan of previous Twilight Sad remixes, just because the beauty is drained from the track and some have sounded too forced to sound 'remixed.' After weeks of listening to the Liars remix of Nil after the Sad posted the track up on their Facebook page I've been sceptical into how this album would sound.

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.

Live Review: Seth Lakeman
The old days when folk was seen as only for the "crusties" are gone. Thanks to troubadours like Willy Mason, Frank Turner and Get Cape,Wear Cape, Fly, folk is now in the lug holes of many young as well as old people.

CD Review: New Order - Krafty
It's a tricky one, the remix CD. It can prove to be a bit of a pain in the rear sometimes, as your fans want the one they heard on the radio, not the 'DJ Killbot 12" extended techno-dub mix', but as evidenced here, sometimes it can prove to be a fruitful exercise.

CD Review: Nerve Engine - Red Son Rising
Chugga Chugga Chug, cheeky twidly solo, screamy bits, nice bits. It's a dynamic most of us have got used to since Killswitch Engaged released "Alive Or Just Breathing", but funnily enough, this Leeds-based 5-piece have some killer songs, some wicked riffs and this whole 5-track CD just works.

CD Review: Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences - We Are Not Other People
'Unexpected Error' makes no effort to ease the listener into the weird and wonderful world of Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences, as it opens with a blaring, Atari-esque sound effect that'll make you wonder whether this is, in fact, a comedy album.

CD Review: Eureka Machines - Everyone Loves You
'Everyone Loves You' is the first single to be lifted off Eureka Machine's full length debut 'Do Or Die.' A power pop rollercoaster of rock and roll riffs and stomping drumbeats, topped off with euphoric pop vocals, 'Everyone Loves You' successfully takes the rock and roll swagger of old, and slathers it in a pop gloss.

CD Review: Everything We Left Behind - Pull Back And Go
The debut mini-album from Bristol-based four-piece Everything We Left Behind has a formula, and that formula is: take all the best features of pop-punk (the energy, exuberance and big, fat choruses,) while replacing all the worst features of pop-punk (the tenancy towards character-less over-production; the irritating over-chirpiness) with some actual punk characteristics, like you actually find in actual punk (and not, very often, in pop-punk.) So, album-opener 'Big Thanks To The Sun' features all the usual offenders of the pop-punk genre - springy drumbeats; "whoooooa" backing vocals; melodic-voiced frontman - wrapped up in a crackly production, with lashings of broken-glass riffing and a general roughness that pleasantly recalls local bands and live music.

Live Review: Twin Atlantic + Fighting With Wire
Twin Atlantic seem to have gone rather low profile recently. Despite touring with big names like Biffy Clyro, Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance earlier in their career, the band have never really lived up to the expectation created with the release of the excellent Vivarium mini album in 2009, so it's now, with debut full-length Free fresh in the shops, that the Scottish alternative rock tykes need to up their game some.

Second album from rising Michigan hardcore crew Chiodos begins as it means to go on, with the distinctly operatic 'Two Birds Stoned At Once.' Opening with a shiver-inducing Victorian-tinged violin, 'Two Birds Stoned At Once' recalls The Used's 'The Bird and The Worm,' both in terms of its operatic leanings and the Bert McCracken-like twinge to frontman Craig Owens' voice.
