Live Review: The Get Up Kids
The Get Up Kids are hailed by some as the only band worth the emo moniker. They do turn out catchy guitar laden tunes, but their sound is a lot poppier than strict emo and all the better for it.

CD Review: Various Artists - The Best KIDS Christmas Album in the World Ever, Ever, Ever!

CD Review: Runaround Kids - Kiss Chase
The first professional release from Wakefield's Runaround Kids takes a little while to get going, thanks to unnecessary 'introductory' song 'Kiss Chase.' The spine-tingling atmospherics and frontman George Garthwaite's distant, crackling vocals make this sound bizarrely like the soundtrack to an episode of flash-in-the-pan online cartoon sensation Salad Fingers, which makes for um, interesting listening.

Title track "Judas", follows a similar style to their last single "White Sands" and sounds like a slightIy chirpy Nick Cave backing a laid back to rawkous sound that by the time the last chorus chant of Judas comes in you can't resist.

CD Review: Yes Boss - More Or Less / They Think It's All Over
After the unprecedented amount of useless, mindless, lager lout England World Cup anthems that have been hastily penned by cretins wanting the football loving nation to embrace (let's not get started on Embrace) their song and sing it from the terraces, it's refreshing to hear the remedy to this in the form of Yes Boss' incidental attack on football fever that is 'They Think It's All Over'.

This latest offering from the up-and-coming whippersnappers from Welwyn Garden City encapsulates perfectly what this band are all about; a three-minute burst of loud, simple, magnificent punk rock.

Live Review: Zombina and the Skeletones + Eighty Six + All Its Worth
I would like to start by saying that I wasn't going to do a review for this gig when I went, but in the Bassment they have these new drinks called 'Vodka Mudshakes'.

Live Review: Fall of Troy + Daughters
Daughters look like they'd be a set of right pricks. The singer has a handlebar moustache, for starters, which ordinarily I'd greatly admire (this being the only acceptable variety of moustache, ever), but to be honest it makes him look like a bit of an idiot.

Band Profile: Dirty Weekend
Dirty Weekend are the bi-product of a 100 bad nights out with bad people, on bad drugs, in bad cities, "this surely must equal a bad band you say!" Well I suppose you can make your own mind up about that.

CD Review: Various Artists - Supercharged
Nu-metal has become increasingly popular over recent years, so much so that it can now be afforded its own place in the compilation CD market, no longer confined to an occasional Kerrang cover disk; one such recent compilation is the Supercharged album, a twenty track mix of nu-metal, pop-punk and primarily Americanised, now mainstream, rock marketed directly to the young kids at Garage and Star.

CD Review: John Parkes - Faithlessnessless
John Parkes is a singer songwriter in the most traditional of senses. One man, his guitar and his occasional harmonica is as much as is needed on this 12 song solo break from Whole Sky Monitor.

Live Review: Saving Lenny + Polarized + The Lake Resistance
How could any one miss this gig?!! No, I'm not talking about the fact that this gig is free. I'm not even saying how could anyone miss one of the best young acts in Leeds in Saving Lenny.

CD Review: Quack Quack - Mars / The Great Catsby
This EP of Quack Quack's is something of a schizophrenic: it's a little piece of black vinyl that can't decide whether it's the fey darling of the underground scene...

CD Review: Various Artists - Wrath Records (sampler)
In an ideal world there'd be a Wrath Records on every street corner, little collectives of bands, combining forces and flying the flag for genuinely independent music.

Live Review: Burning Brides + My Red Cell + The Cribs
Mullets. When did they become fashionable again? They're all around me. I nervously feel that I'm being punished for having a chuckle at mulletmadness.com a few days earlier, or perhaps I've been warped into a parallel universe where all the rock chick style guides insist on one.

Live Review: Kanyose + Flowe
First up were Flowe from Loughborough. Lead singer Paul Saunders' swooping vocals over a melodic background of jangling guitar gave the band a late 80s indie sound.

Fifty or so genuine Radio Aire competition winners and an army of press, liggers, blaggers and Leeds scene wannabes (people who don't have to be in work on a Friday afternoon) crowded into the Faversham.

GUESTLIST BITCHES! If you have ever been to a gig at the refectory and wondered what it is like up on that balcony bit, I tell you now it is a positive rock and roll Valhalla with whores and coke and more whores and coke.

Live Review: Wild Beasts

CD Review: A Day Left - Everything Grows Light
Oli Renton and Lee Malcolm were born to do the Leeds/Reading Festival. Not in the slightly geeky tents where I go, but out there on the main stage in the afternoon sun with guitar screaming and the kids crowd surfing like there was no concussion.
