CD Review: Dinosaur Jr - Pieces
'Pieces' is the second single to be lifted off Dinosaur Jr's ninth studio album, 'Farm.' 'Pieces' is the typical Dinosaur Jr wall of distorted guitars and frontman J Mascis's vague and winding 'slacker' drawl, cut through with sharper guitar lines that hit those glimmering high notes and give 'Pieces' a sparkling veneer.

CD Review: The Pigeon Detectives - Untitled
The Pigeon Detectives are one of the most entertaining live bands around Leeds at the moment. On stage their frantic and furious frontman belts out shambolic rock 'n' roll gems like there's no tomorrow, often threatening to decapitate one of the band's guitarists as he throws his mic stand, microphone and himself around the stage in an uncontrolled fit of pleasure.

CD Review: Fi-Lo Radio - Skin Deep Demons
I've been impressed with Manchester three-piece Fi-Lo Radio ever since I stumbled across their 7" single "Pretty Bones"; and when they showed they could cut it live too - a gig at Josephs Well late 2001 saw Fi-Lo Radio win over a rocking Leeds crowd - I reckoned they'd be ones to watch in 2002.

CD Review: The Debuts - 43
Having recently received the Futuresound nod of approval, Halifax's The Debuts are on the up and up. These two tracks, their first shot at recorded material, display a nuanced indie-pop sound that is well-balanced if (understandably) a little raw.

Live Review: The Blueskins + The Bazaars + The Ebb
The Ebb are about to reach make or break time. Ball-busting, tribally triumphant drums soundtrack the band's rock and Borrell swagger onstage, the supremely confident singer causally sauntering across the pit before thrashing himself into a Columbia sized riff.

CD Review: Harry - Under the Covers EP
"I bet you look at me and think I am a dumb blonde". No kidding, although some other choice phrases sprang to mind throughout Harry's sleazy whoring, errr re-working, of Salt'n'Pepper song Push It.

Live Review: 5ft4 + Herrod + Catylyst
It's Saturday night, the cellars are dark, and Steve Kind is bellowing for us to greet rock uber-beasts CATYLYST, and as they take the stage amidst the roar of two distorted guitars, I'm sitting on the edge of my seat with my fist poised for punching the air and I'm ready to rock.

CD Review: Sarandon - The June Bride
Instalment four of Sarandon's four 7" 7-song mini albums is not an easy sentence to say when drunk. Through out The June Bride you can't help but wonder what some of these songs might have turned into had they not been governed by the strict rules of fitting onto a 7" single.

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?
