CD Review: The Tamborines - What Took You So Long
Despite the misspelling, The Tamborines have a name as obvious as the day is long. Far more interestingly the 3 piece consist of two Brazilians (the nationality not the haircut) and one French drummer, which makes the wall-of-sound Indie influenced by the likes of Teenage Fanclub and The Jesus & Mary Chain all the more surprising.

Every once in a while your evening turns out to be so very different from how you planned it.

CD Review: Detwiije - Would You Rather Be Followed By Forty Ducks for the Rest of Your Life
God bless post rock bands and their inability to come up with short, precise titles. In the world of post rock, reviewers tend to miss the point, and label a band "the new" someone or other, or even worse than that, they simply grab a handful of random bands in the genre and apply their names to newer bands in order to give them a starting point as to what they're trying to do.

God bless post rock bands and their inability to come up with short, precise titles. In the world of post rock, reviewers tend to miss the point, and label a band "the new" someone or other, or even worse than that, they simply grab a handful of random bands in the genre and apply their names to newer bands in order to give them a starting point as to what they're trying to do.

When Norwich quartet, 'Depth', start their debut album with 'Built By One', a listener might develop a sense of indifference to the band- this is perfectly competent post-hardcore, but nowhere in its 3 minutes and 47 seconds running time does it really challenge the genre boundaries, and in a scene as over saturated as the one they occupy, a band must be able to offer something more substantial than 'satisfactory' if they are to stand out from the pack.

CD Review: Stewart King - Satori
'Satori' the debut full-length from York based singer-songwriter Stewart King has a more diverse sound than most albums that are masterminded by a solo artist, with bluesy rock and roll influences occasionally making their presence felt halfway through a song that was previously just an acoustic guitar and King's voice.

I Am Kloot are a curious sight live. Singer/guitarist John Banwell eschews guitar straps in favour of an old beer bottle crate that he uses to prop his leg in order to support his instrument, whilst bassist Pete Jobson spends the entire gig seated, an arrangement that leads to Banwell reassuring the section of the crowd towards the back that he is present no matter what their eyes are telling them.

Live Review: Dan Mangan + Jason Collett
Late to the party: that was me with Dan Mangan's music. I was bowled over by "Oh Fortune!" towards the end of last year but beyond that my knowledge of his music was embarrassingly limited.

Live Review: Dandy Warhols
Fold your hands you walk like a rock star. The Dandy Warhols represent the triumph of substances over substance and their first two albums are testament to this with a handful of quirky, catchy and perfectly snotty pop gems along with dawdling tunes you might call "Atmospheric" or "Filler" if your in generous mood.

CD Review: The Shins - Port of Morrow
You have to wonder at what point The Shins stopped being 'The Shins'. There is the argument that right from the start this whole thing has been a James Mercer solo project, deploying a revolving door policy for the musicians that join him, chopping and changing between each album on nothing more than a whim.
