CD Review: The Mutts - Life in Dirt
Welcome to the dark side of the garage. Imagine, if you will, the sound of Iggy Pop wandering into The Strokes' studio and repeatedly battering them about the head with a mic stand while shouting "NO NO NO!

CD Review: All My Friends Are Dead - Untitled
Another group to add to the new movement of Leeds-based post-rock outfits, All My Friends Are Dead arrive with a three-track debut demo that, while showcasing a promising musical style, still feels a little unfinished.

CD Review: The Lights - Grand Union
For the most part this West London outfit offer a mix of guitars, sultry vocals and synthesiser that makes for uptempo, fairly harmless but fun listening.

CD Review: Drat - Brittle Pale Blue EP
Hailing from Ireland, but sounding decidedly American, Drat are here to tide over all the Weezer fans who are tired of waiting for Rivers to get off his ass and write some more albums.

CD Review: The Leif Ericsson - s/t
From what I can figure the 's/t' stands for self-titled, an appropriate name for the widely anticipated debut album from The Leif Ericsson.

CD Review: We The Faceless - s/t
Let's get this straight - despite the marketing blurb that was enclosed with this CD describing We The Faceless as 'new grunge', there's nothing particularly new about them.

CD Review: The Rise - New Situation
The Rise provide a dose of familiar baggy indie guitar dance crossover on this debut CD - think Manchester 1990 if that description was too confusing.

CD Review: Mumm-Ra - These Things Move in Threes
I tend to be a little wary of bands like Mumm-Ra, who take up instruments with the sole purpose of being in a band to pass the time - something all the members of this group admit to.

CD Review: The Drums - I Felt Stupid
"One of the best indie pop debuts this year" is quite a remarkable review of a band that's only been together for just over twelve months, but it's still something that's been on the lips of many a music critic for a while.

CD Review: Agent Blue - A Stolen Honda Vision
It's been a strange few years for Potteries punkers Agent Blue since they first came bounding over the horizon some three years ago.

CD Review: Paul Hartnoll - Please
As one half of ambient techno messiahs Orbital, Paul Hartnoll can feel justifiably proud of his act's legacy since their inception as early 90's warehouse rave regulars to their swansong at Glastonbury 2004.

CD Review: The Bear Driver - Paws And Claws
The Bear Driver show no signs of hesitation in demonstrating their creative prowess on 'Paws and Claws' - the concise three-track E.P hasn't any time to waste on rehashes or reiterations, and each tune in turn showcases their distinctive songwriting style.

CD Review: Beat Route 62 - Untitled
Promising name I thought. Very Jack Kerouac, but with cunning regional twist with the old M62 and that.

CD Review: In:Audium - Drawing Silence
How exactly do you "draw" silence then? Do you sit down with a crayon and a piece of paper next the National Institute for the Mute and wait for something non-vocal to grab your artistic muse?

CD Review: Yourcodenameis: Milo - Schteeve

CD Review: Various Artists - Maybeshewill / Her Name Is Calla - split single
The two bands that make up this 12" vinyl split single on Nottingham based imprint Field Records have already built quite a cult following throughout the year.

CD Review: Kings of Leon - Youth and Young Manhood
Three sons of a preacher (and their cousin) from America's deep south, all with snake hips, long hair, thick fringes, flares and most importantly (gasp) beards!

CD Review: The Wallbirds - The Avenue
What is there not to like about this trio of lads from Donny? Signed to the infamous Dance To The Radio label here is the first release by the band on 7" vinyl, an old school fashion which is coming back and making every trendy indie kid go out and get a gramophone.

CD Review: Johnny Foreigner - Waited Up 'Til It Was Light
Johnny Foreigner are a strange band in that they have consistently got great reviews including a 10/10 for their debut EP 'Arcs Across The City' on Drowned For Sound and an 8/10 for this their debut album from NME, yet they still remain an unknown quantity outside of their hardcore followers and have received little hype compared to what a lot of other new bands have.

CD Review: All Time Low - Nothing Personal
Just in time for a slice of summer pop punk action, All Time Low release their second album 'Nothing Personal.' Hyped up on certain blogs and by fans who loved 'So Wrong, Its Right,' you would think there would be pressure on the band to deliver.

CD Review: The Marmozets - Out Of My Control
Without being patronising, to say Bingley-based band The Marmozets have an average age of sixteen (and, apparently, this EP was recorded when they had an average age of just fifteen,) 'Out Of My Control' is impressive.

CD Review: The Hostiles - Always Looking Forward
'Always Looking Forward' is a hit and miss affair; the times when The Hostiles' riotous blend of ska, punk and cartoonish vocals doesn't quite fit together right, easily outnumber the times when it does.

CD Review: Burn The Mona Lisa - Plastic Pop
Displaying genuine heart-on-the-sleeve histrionics, Burn The Mona Lisa are said to be on a mission to 'overthrow the overrated' according to the media blurb accompanying this release.

Live Review: Million Dead + Days Of Worth + Engerica
Deja vu. Deja vu from the exact same time last year. Stuck in the same pokey Cockpit auxiliary room with an altogether comatose audience but nevertheless an incendiary performance from one of British rocks most talented outfits.

CD Review: Micawba - Linear
In the first fifty seconds of joyous simplicity, Micawba burst through all the barriers. "In all her dresses" is a shimmering song in a performance to put alongside "There she Goes" by the Las.

Live Review: Million Dead + X is Loaded + Yourcodenameis: Milo
If the names of the bands are anything to go by, this could be an interesting night of James Bond subterfuge, Pussy Galore and go-go gadgets.

CD Review: Emergencies - We Are The Waves
'We Are The Waves,' the debut single from Leeds' Emergencies boasts a skittering, off-kilter central riff that bands with far more experience would be proud of.

CD Review: Munkie - Progression
I'm always suspicious of a CD when I see a quote from Pete Tong on the front cover, and there it is on the front of this Munkie album, 'Progression'.

Live Review: Cymbals Eat Guitars + This Many Boyfriends
To my surprise, I found myself stood in a half-empty (or indeed half-full for you optimists) room 2 of the Cockpit.

Live Review: Captain + Gisli + Lucky Jim
Ah, how I love Mine with its alluring red leather sofas and twizzly stools. I've only settled in twenty minutes before the dashing Lucky Jim claims the stage as his own playing songs which tell of experiences deeper than we unsuspecting punters could ever imagine and to which said venue doesn't do justice.

CD Review: Last Temple Orchestra - Untitled
The debut EP from Leeds' Last Temple Orchestra begins in promising fashion, with the excellent 'Inside.' Its spring-heeled drums are tempered by echoey chords, giving it an interestingly ethereal edge.

Live Review: Lightspeed Champion + Spodni Pradlo + Le Tournoi
BD1 Live seem incapable of putting a foot wrong. This conglomeration of some of Bradford's busiest and brightest promoters and general musos has consistently bashed out successful night after successful night, and there's no uncertainty over what exactly to expect.

Live Review: The Academy Is... + The Audition + Young Love
The Cockpit this evening is surrounded by more buzz than I've seen here before. But perhaps buzz is not quite the right word - it would be more accurate to say that there are more hormones flying around tonight than gigs I have previously attended.

CD Review: Five Mile Island - Untitled
'Seconds Out,' the opening track of Five Mile Island's debut demo is actually the weakest of the five songs on offer.

Live Review: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club + Brian Jonestown Massacre
So then ladies and gents lets go back a couple of years when Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the Strokes and the White Stripes were unleashed on us surrounded by a haze of media frenzy and unadulterated cool.

Live Review: Fulc + The Others + Seven Hours
First onstage tonight are the Bradford-based quintet Seven Hours, who mix a dose of funk into their otherwise straight-ahead rock sound.

Live Review: Pitchshifter + Taproot + The Kennedy Soundtrack
First band up tonight are The Kennedy Soundtrack, a band who I last saw at Breeze 2002, and didn't think were that special.

CD Review: Lost Calm - Untitled
The debut EP from Salford five-piece Lost Calm gets the balance right between choruses that are big and brash enough to fill arenas, and the sharp, emotional edge that makes all that noise feel personal to you.

Live Review: Drowning Pool + Torna-K
Review featured with permission from www.whisperinandhollerin.com Upon walking through the front doors, the first thing you notice tonight is just how young looking 90% of the 300 strong crowd is inside the aircraft hanger like Cockpit.

Live Review: four day Hombre + Martha + Ashley Hicklin
I believe change has to be accepted as an endearing facet of life in general, thus the exciting prospect of a mob-handed entourage of cello wielding students taking the stage in Joseph's Well already appeared enough to induce a clammy palmed curiosity.

CD Review: The Bundesrats - Half Finished Horse
'Half Finished Horse,' the debut EP from Wakefield's The Bundesrats, takes the oompa-oompa, carnival-esque beats of Madness, and puts them together with jaunty, ska-punk keyboard refrains, and a frontman who seems to think he's providing the vocals to an opera.

Live Review: Catylyst + Brody + Colour of Fire + And None Of Them Knew They Were Robots + Drugdealer Cheerleader
It's nights like this that show what's great about the Leeds music scene. As I'm walking to the Well it pisses it down.

Live Review: Wildhearts + Hurricane Party + Terrorvision + Days Of Worth + The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster + Planet Of Women + Shortcut To Newark + Hanoi Rocks + Plan A + The Glitterati + The Grit + Tokyo Dragons + Robochrist
So this is what I missed Leeds Festival for then. Catching the train out to the coast first thing on a Saturday morning (well, halfway to the coast - due to trouble on the line I end up getting a bus from York) to see the last ever gig by both Wildhearts and Terrorvision, today has the omens of being a good day.

CD Review: Flood Of Red - Leaving Everything Behind
'Leaving Everything Behind,' the debut album from Scotland's Flood Of Red, is a frustrating album. Effortlessly churning out dense, emotionally-charged, stadium-sized songs with towering choruses and heartfelt vocals aplenty, the first few songs will blow you away.
