CD Review: Richard Ashcroft - Music Is Power
I like Richard Ashcroft, not as a fan but as a music lover admiring from a distance: too young to be swept along with The Verve whirlwind and too naïve to realise what Ashcroft was really saying in 'The Drugs Don't Work'.

CD Review: Richard Ashcroft - Break the Night With Colour
After two years away Richard Ashcroft returns again to fill our hearts and souls. His new single "Break the Night With Colour" was released on 9th January 2006 under his new label Parlophone and upon hearing the single for the first time, I sensed the feeling that his roots now lie along side new mates Coldplay.

CD Review: Seed Brothers - A New Tomorrow
There appears to be quite a few bands called Seed, this one however are two brothers from Leeds. Their brand of safe pop-rock is well produced and performed but lacks any real ingenuity.

CD Review: The Plea - Staggers Anthem
This record sounds like a cross between three acts responsible for making some of the most bland, turgid and eye-gougingly boring horse wank musical debacles of the last decade.

CD Review: If I Were King - Restless
"We aren't like any other band that are currently on the scene..." ahh the old classic. Anyone who's anyone who's been in a band has either thought it or said it and of course like all of them If I Were King are also incorrect.

CD Review: The Black Ships - Kurofune
I'm going to be straight with you. I love this EP. Not because it is one 25 minute long track, not because it is a largely unintelligible stack of music verging on white noise throughout, not even because it is a free download- though all of these are true.

CD Review: Infrasound - Fire In The City

CD Review: Prime Mover - Cabbages and Kings
Now then chaps and chapettes, how do you like your bass? Hidden away murmuring nicely in the background, contributing nicely to the overall convivial atmosphere but at a comfortable level where it can be safely ignored, rather like an elderly family member at a Christmas shindig?

CD Review: Fleeing New York - AOK
