Live Review: Mindless Self Indulgence + Templeton Pek
Support act Templeton Pek are at an unfair disadvantage right from the very start, as the appalling sound quality reduces their set to a wall of noise.

Live Review: Cansei de Ser Sexy + The Last Shadow Puppets + Tenacious D + Feeder + Pendulum + The Music + Hadouken! + Lightspeed Champion + The Whip + Adam Green + Mindless Self Indulgence
Turning up on Friday morning, swapping my piece of paper for my press pass, pitching my tent in guest camping and making my way to the arena, I was really pleased I'd been able to come to Leeds this year.

CD Review: InMe - Single Of The Weak
One obviously has to hand it to the band for coming up with their own dismissive headline. 'Single of the Weak' is, in a nutshell, exactly that.

CD Review: Unexploded Shells - Hexthorpe 1
A posthumous tribute, even if there is the occasional mediumistic tremor on Myspace. Neither too slick nor too coltish, Unexploded Shells' CD revives an old-fashioned tension in the listener over whether the band will make it to the other end of the performance tightrope without dropping off and landing on the self-destruct button.

CD Review: Fort Lauderdale - Pretty Monster
It took several listens, but finally Fort Lauderdale makes sense. The British Flaming Lips perhaps? Whether intentional or not, with a copy of Sgt Peppers tucked under their arm, a psychedelic jukebox playing the best of Woodstock in the corner and a cold glass of vermouth on the bar, while reading a shiny copy of "How to play cheesy guitar solos that don't fit in your songs" (Exhibit A: "Best Days" Exhibit B: "As a boy") In actual fact the music industry desperately needs creative boundary pushing bands such as Fort Lauderdale, but ultimately it is the likes of Badly Drawn Boy that will pull on similar influences, maintain purest values and have success crafting them into works we can all appreciate.

CD Review: LaRusso - My Indecision Is Final
Self recorded and self produced eh? Usually sounds like a recipe for disaster amongst local bands. Well, not this time, I suggest everyone ships out to Casa La Russo and asks them to work their magic on their own records.

Live Review: Chapter Thirteen
For a rock band like Chapter Thirteen an acoustic gig is to say the least - unexpected. I've seen the band many times and when I first heard about this gig I wondered what was going to be left without the crunching guitars and the wide range of effects they usually use in such an imaginative way.

CD Review: Nirvana - Live At Reading
When I was fourteen, I was one of those greasy kids that went around in a big black hoodie adorned with a massive print of Kurt Cobain's face and the words 'I hate myself and want to die' scrawled across the back.

Somewhere within the pristine, softly-furnished country villa that is our drummer's house, amid the archives of oversized sock catalogues, there lies a recording.

CD Review: Silvertide - The EP
Having had this band recommended to me, receiving an email from BMG with a sound snippet and then stumbling upon a lonesome copy of this EP I decided that it was fate and took the poor little blighter home with me.

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.

CD Review: Lorimer - Repeat Offender
So, they're good enough for John Peel, then. Still, he's not that fussy, is he? Let's face it, an hour of obscure euro punk and you start reaching for Radio 2 before seizures set in half the time - or is that just me?

CD Review: Night Herons - Night Herons
If you like the sound of a band that channels the rock-soul sound of Gossip, the electro-falsetto of La Roux and the driving pop hooks of Blondie, then Leeds' very own Night Herons are definitely for you.

CD Review: The Wooden Spoons - Untitled
The twinkly piano-pop of lead-track 'You Can Call Me Peter' isn't an instant hit, its twee Englishness being initially underwhelming.

CD Review: The Coral - Nightfreak & The Sons of Becker
The latest recording form The Coral is the product of improvisational sessions. I awaited the release of this CD with anticipation since I saw them in November and heard two of the songs live.

Live Review: John Renbourn & Robin Williamson
Some years ago Korks Piano Lounge was one of the most insalubrious nightclubs ever to see the light of day; it was, at the time, known as Moonlighters.

CD Review: Kill Hannah - Until Theres Nothing Left Of Us
Kill Hannah's 'Until There's Nothing Left of Us' saw a US release in 2006. Now, two years later, it finally gets a UK release with a modified tracklisting that sees a number of the album's original songs dropped in favour of three tracks from Kill Hannah's as-yet-unreleased-in-the-UK debut, 'For Ever and Never.' The result is more a 'best of' than a coherent album, but you can hardly blame Kill Hannah for wanting to make the best possible impression on the UK audience.

Live Review: Glasvegas + Friendly Fires + White Lies + Florence & The Machine
It's no doubt the NME Awards Tour presents some pretty big shoes to fill. With former headliners such as The Killers and Arctic Monkeys now dusting their platinum disc collection and the ever present danger of finding yourself engaged to a leotard-clad, Brazilian lass, it's a wonder any bands rise to the challenge.

Live Review: Chevron + Lorimer + OFM + Five Years Later
Wandering into McDermotts on Saturday night I noticed that tonight held the promise of music. Four bands whose apparent self-proclaimed musical leanings sounded tempting (if beer mat flyers are to be believed).

CD Review: Katatonia - Night Is The New Day
Although the phrase 'symphonic, atmospheric doom-metal' may conjure up visions of ten minute long, utterly thankless, glum-faced instrumentals, the eighth full-length offering from Swedish doom-metallers Katatonia administer eleven shots of compact, melodic doom-metal that bucks the genre's trend for self-indulgence.

CD Review: Five Mile Island - Satellites
Leeds-based outfit Five Mile Island follow up their debut demo, released earlier in the year, with their first full-length 'Satellites.' Three of the five previously demoed tracks have made it onto this release and while they still have all the original flaws, it's encouraging to compare them to 'Satellites's new songs.
