CD Review: Diawara - Snowfall

Live Review: sammyUSA + The Primms
A half-filled room welcomed London-based three-piece The Primms onto the stage. Having heard the quite average two-track "Do You Know The Future?"

CD Review: Chickenhawk - Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk's debut long-player is an ambitious and heroic montage of many different types of metal. Crunching riffs swing themselves between battering rhythms and off-kilter tempo changes, and are often interspersed with throat-destroying vocal theatrics and glitches of weird electronica.

Upon receiving this CD, I thought - 'Looks promising, very slick. Maybe a better photographer could have made the live looking cover shot look a little less like they are performing at an open jam night to an empty pub.' 'Can You Rely On Them' is a tune that upon first listen seems to pull no punches, upon second or more listens you will be thinking 'what the hell is going on with these guys.' It is filled with lots of quirky little solos, which do showcase a lot of musical talent that is there, somewhere!

Live Review: Strike Anywhere + The Loved Ones + Down and Outs + The Mercury League
The sound has always been well in the Well, prompting the recent influx of American hardcore bands like Samiam and Propagandhi and these 'intimate' gigs.

Live Review: Red Go Green Stop + Armstrong + And The Return
And The Return aren't content to merely execute the clichéd climbing the speaker stacks. Instead, frontman Dale Stacey insists on coming out into the audience to climb on the Cockpit's bar.

CD Review: Ginger - Market Harbour
The name 'Market Harbour' for an album may just seem like a random name; not many albums out there with it, better than self-titled etc.

CD Review: The Psychedelic Breakfast - s/t
The Psychedelic Breakfast charge in where most would fear to tread. They have a very rough grasp of the way that some of the Los Angeles/San Franciso musics sounded nearly 40 years ago, and the sleeve displays a fancy dress appreciation of the basic visual elements of hippy chic.

With a name such as The Crypt, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this band is a Goth-rock or black metal outfit.

Live Review: Mr Pasty
A night of surprises in the shadow of that clumpy pointed church you can see from everywhere. LMS/LeedsGigs listed a venue unknown to me within a mile of where I've lived for years.

It's sold out tonight at this tiny venue, which comes as a pleasant surprise considering these bands get very little coverage this side off the Atlantic and tonight's gig kicks of with Little Wings.

CD Review: Alberta Cross - Broken Side Of Time
In this, their debut album, Alberta Cross have held nothing back; not ashamed to plough straight in with full and heavy bulldozer guitars that compete for dominance over one another, creating complex and thick layers of sound.

CD Review: The Glitterati - s/t
Guitars. Lots and lots of guitars. Leather, screaming girls, sweat, passion, sex, sleaze, bourbon. Just some of the things that pop into my head when I think of the words Rock n Roll.
