CD Review: Billy Bragg - No-one Knows Nothing Anymore

CD Review: Mariko - User Friendly
I listened to this CD on the strength of a recent storming gig at The Rocket where I was impressed by the combination of the vocalist's swagger and the low slung guitars, two definitely admirable qualities.

CD Review: Designated Driver - Design At Edd River
Middlesex's Designated Driver do what a lot of modern Emo frat-party nu-punk rockers don't - they actually write songs that feel like they mean it rather than purely sounding good when you've got a skinful.

CD Review: Veil Cassini - s/t

Take almost any part of these musical mazes and you'll find enough off-kilter ideas to kit out five more songs.

CD Review: Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God
The debut single from Kaiser Chiefs is quintessentially British guitar pop. And loveably so. Keys - in whatever form - are prominent from the off, introduced via the almost single fingered tinkering of the intro, and at around 3 minutes in there's an "A Day In The Life" like moment, where all parties, including, paradoxically, quietly-screamed vocals, get to build up the sound before heading into a chorus repeat and then fade.

Live Review: Michael Chapman
Back in the early 1970's Michael Chapman was recording a series of albums for the Harvest label each characterised by his relentlessly gloomy lyrics, gravel voiced delivery and beautifully fluent ragtime guitar picking.

Live Review: Rolo Tomassi + Holy State + Antares
Rolo Tomassi are one of the most innovative and intriguing bands of recent times. You'd be hard pushed to find a band this side of The Dillinger Escape Plan who've shown such disregard for the general rules of music, and in doing so have split the vote like no other band has in recent times.

CD Review: Kill Cassidy - 14:11 / Everyone To The Dancemat
This double A-side single is a competent and well-executed double-whammy of alt-rock, rounded off with an easy-on-the-ears shimmer, and complete with a vocalist who can hit some sweet high notes - when he isn't pushing himself too hard.

Garon Shark are a young rock'n'roll four-piece from Huddersfield (what is it with that town?) I'm very impressed with their three-track offering, which suggests a band influenced by a variety of rock bands and styles and showcases an ability to write some excellent songs yet leaving enough room for improvement (without it being an insult to say so).

What's the future of rock and roll in 2005?

Live Review: Stellastarr + The Killers
The Killers are from Las Vegas - that place where celebrities go to get fat, legendary and dead. This in itself should be enough to make you want to go see them but if you want more encouragement there's the fact that they have a battery of fantastic, up-tempo, future indie-disco classics and more on-stage charisma than Timberlake, Connery and Elvis combined - and trust me, that's damn charismatic.

Interview: Shy Child
Shy Child's rider consisted of beer, salsa and loads of meat. Proscuitto specifically, I think. I remember congratulating them on this selection of goods, although felt slightly on edge about the meat being left out in the heat for too long. After such small talk about meat, British supermarkets and why LCD Soundsystem are cool, I decided it was around about time start asking some proper questions, with the odd Elton John reference thrown in for luck...

CD Review: Good Shoes - Never Meant to Hurt You
Good Shoes are another outfit espousing the jangly jitter pop that seems to have become so popular of late.

CD Review: Beautiful Feet - Unfinished Business EP
Beautiful feet have a very pleasing sound, a Radio 2 Sunday morning sound, a keeuuwwwwl sound - not a bad thing, in fact with the increasing number of noisy guitar monkeys out there it is refreshing to hear someone being subtle with their instruments.

CD Review: Fell City Girl - Swim EP
Fell City Girl boast drama. And I mean drama. The kind of textured melodies reminiscent of some obscure New Zealand pop exercise by the name of The Veils.

Live Review: Parva + The Union Volts + Being 747
Would putting rock bands in a massive hole work? With a crowd made-up of mostly of people wanting to be seen and grab the free booze, it was a triumph for the bands for so many to be grabbed from the bar by the quality of the music.

CD Review: The Dharma - Can You Rely On Them
Upon receiving this CD, I thought - 'Looks promising, very slick. Maybe a better photographer could have made the live looking cover shot look a little less like they are performing at an open jam night to an empty pub.' 'Can You Rely On Them' is a tune that upon first listen seems to pull no punches, upon second or more listens you will be thinking 'what the hell is going on with these guys.' It is filled with lots of quirky little solos, which do showcase a lot of musical talent that is there, somewhere!

Live Review: Amen + Ikara Colt
As Minus are about to finish their set at 7:40 I stroll into the venue... shit. Ikara Colt take to the stage in the form of a British Von Bondies with ladies at either side of lead singer Paul Resende.

Live Review: Kid Galahad + Kenosha + Buen Chico
As the sun overhead blazes down over Leeds, most people either sit outside basking in the mid twenties sunshine or fiddle with their badly burned meat on their barbecues rather than venturing out to the local venues.

CD Review: Club Smith - Appetite For Chivalry
Can you be Beautiful and Useless? On this evidence yes; in places Club Smith's new release 'Appetite For Chivalry' is beautiful: plucked strings and echo electronics.

Live Review: Electric Soft Parade + Lorien
Icelandic moodsmiths Lorien aren't exactly influenced by the Sex Pistols. No, Radiohead are probably more their bag.

The Warehouse may be out on a limb, up there near the ring road, but if this is a precedent for future Friday nights - then it'll be worth every step.

CD Review: Wall Street Riots - One More Ride
Following on from the success of their debut EP, London-based Wall Street Riots release punk party track 'One More Ride.' Taking the enthusiasm and energy of pop-punk as their starting point, Wall Street Riots then pack in the shunting riffs, twitching vocals and bass-heavy grooves, to create something that's more innovative and individual than your usual pop-punk fair.

The name 'Market Harbour' for an album may just seem like a random name; not many albums out there with it, better than self-titled etc.
