CD Review: Manifesto - Approaching The Traps
The CD kicks off with the track "Human Rights" which to be honest is not a very impressive track. The drums are relatively lazy with the fills being out of time, the bass sometimes lags behind the guitar and vocals in the track.

CD Review: Givers - In Light
After the release of single 'Up Up Up' I was quite excited at the prospect of Givers' debut album release as the single, which opens the album, is a wonderful combination of what almost is afro-pop.

CD Review: Adem - Launch Yourself
The resurgent folk scene has surely found much inspiration in the figure of Adem Ilhan. After all, recent years have seen the London based musician (and Fridge bassist) assemble two stunning contemporary folk records, managing to find an accessible balance between beauty and experimentation on both outings.

CD Review: Serena-Maneesh - s/t
Serena-Maneesh provide the latest update in the Scandinavian invasion of British-branded indie. However, unlike fellow countrymen the Knife and Love Is All, Serena-Maneesh are far less experimental and sound far more familiar to British ears.

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.

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.

Classic 70s/80s Rock sounds different from each side of the guitar.

CD Review: Bedouin Soundclash - 12.59 Lullaby
Bedouin Sounclash's Last single 'When The Night Feels My Song' was a first-class track, a real feel-good number and although serving us with the same optimism, '12:59 Lullaby' attacks in a less direct way; a chugging rhythm with a voice overflowing with emotion that leaks through unintentional breaks in the vocalist Jay Malinowski's articulation.

CD Review: Falconetti - Finisterre
This is good strong stuff and you don't have to fear its somberness, or shy away from having the whole lot at once: there's enough grace, sinew and primeval mass here to deserve a chance of being the main thing in your brain for a half an hour, even if the opening title track looms out of the silence to establish a portentous presence, and having done so, rather slips away in a slow heartbeat rhythm and female vocal.

CD Review: The Alamo - Hello Venus!
It's fresh, it's loud. It's the Alamo. Four bars, four beats, four songs, four kids. And they're doing a great enthusiastic blast of natural rock with no frills and no attempt to imitate anyone except themselves.

Live Review: Death From Above 1979 + The Fever + Controller Controller
Hailing from Toronto, the first band of the night was the five piece Controller Controller. Minuscule singer Nirmala Basnayake took to the stage in a cheap black dress and fake pearls and shouted her way through a string of de-structured sequencer-laden dirty disco tracks from their forthcoming album 'History'.

CD Review: Beneath Augusta - Mellonova 00-03
Something must be happening in Canada these days. From the nation that brought us such luminaries as Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, and the miserable Alanis Morisette, the country that sits atop the United States of America is quietly out-doing their southern neighbour for quality musical exports.
