CD Review: The Old Romantic Killer Band - You Don't Know How To Love
If the Mississippi is the homeland of the blues then nobody told The Old Romantic Killer Band. The Leeds-based two piece grind out the kind of blues fuelled garage-punk that I can only imagine they must have conceived high on the powdered bones of Howlin' Wolf.

CD Review: AB Negative - The Upper Crust
With the likes of Dumb 41 and Blink 18Poo cluttering the air waves with their supposed comical take on punk rock, I was initially worried about listening to a CD by a punk band who had previously released an EP titled "Moshy Peas." Thankfully "The Upper Crust" is a musical dictionary of the various types of punk that are available to the people of the world.

CD Review: Everything We Left Behind - Pull Back And Go
The debut mini-album from Bristol-based four-piece Everything We Left Behind has a formula, and that formula is: take all the best features of pop-punk (the energy, exuberance and big, fat choruses,) while replacing all the worst features of pop-punk (the tenancy towards character-less over-production; the irritating over-chirpiness) with some actual punk characteristics, like you actually find in actual punk (and not, very often, in pop-punk.) So, album-opener 'Big Thanks To The Sun' features all the usual offenders of the pop-punk genre - springy drumbeats; "whoooooa" backing vocals; melodic-voiced frontman - wrapped up in a crackly production, with lashings of broken-glass riffing and a general roughness that pleasantly recalls local bands and live music.

The debut mini-album from Bristol-based four-piece Everything We Left Behind has a formula, and that formula is: take all the best features of pop-punk (the energy, exuberance and big, fat choruses,) while replacing all the worst features of pop-punk (the tenancy towards character-less over-production; the irritating over-chirpiness) with some actual punk characteristics, like you actually find in actual punk (and not, very often, in pop-punk.) So, album-opener 'Big Thanks To The Sun' features all the usual offenders of the pop-punk genre - springy drumbeats; "whoooooa" backing vocals; melodic-voiced frontman - wrapped up in a crackly production, with lashings of broken-glass riffing and a general roughness that pleasantly recalls local bands and live music.

A six-track mini LP by a Harrogate based band and a very pleasant surprise.

Not many people are here to watch Buzzkill; a real shame, as they give it their all.

Live Review: Cowpuncher + Djingo + One Minute Warning
The third night of the FutureSound 2000 competition sees the first noise-fest night, a completely raucous mental affair - in a controlled manner of course.

CD Review: Clayhill - Moon I Hide
When the majority of the band consist of Beth Orton's co-writers and you're friends with Aqualung, it's a safe bet there will be no three chord punk snorting on show.

CD Review: Glazed - For Love Nor Money EP
Here we have three tracks that could be heard anywhere across the land. Grungy punk rock is the order of the day but there's neither the tunes nor the talent to match the enthusiasm here.

Live Review: The Subways + The Holy Terror + The Detonators
It's splendid when a trip down to a nearby pub results in you getting nicely sloshed and seeing a good band.

Live Review: Lostprophets + Kids In Glass Houses
What better way to spend Valentine's Day than with 2300 others rocking out for nostalgia's sake. Saying that, there are plenty of younger people in attendance, who are clearly too young to remember the beginning of the last decade.

Live Review: Lightyear
The tent is packed with a loyal young following for ska-punk favourites Lightyear, and they don't disappoint with a frenetic, sing along performance that includes everything from stick dancing to the rowing of a cut-out boat across stage!

Live Review: Mr Shiraz + Eighty Six + The 42 Tones
I know it's highly unprofessional of a reviewer to get on stage with a band, and even worse to dance about like an arse and then throw himself offstage into the crowd, but I just couldn't help it.

Live Review: Operator Please + Heads We Dance
Support band Heads We Dance were initially very grating. The lead singer's 'of the moment' attire and haircut didn't do much to win over the crowd.
