Live Review: The Subways + The Kooks + ¡Forward, Russia!

CD Review: The Hostiles - Always Looking Forward
'Always Looking Forward' is a hit and miss affair; the times when The Hostiles' riotous blend of ska, punk and cartoonish vocals doesn't quite fit together right, easily outnumber the times when it does.

Live Review: Duels + ¡Forward, Russia! + iLiKETRAiNS + The Lodger + This Et Al + The Old House
Dance to the Radio was an event. Is it possible to review an event? Even straight description couldn't get deep enough into the complexities and impossibilities of making such a thing not just happen but happen so brilliantly.

Live Review: 65 Days Of Static + That Fucking Tank + ¡Forward, Russia! + Eiger + Pixel! Pixel! Pixel! + Falconetti + Bracing Ed + Blind Jackson
Aaah the all dayer. The closest thing you get to a mini festival, and with a rather interesting 8 band bill scheduled for the Tasty Fanzine event, the Brudenell Social Club seems to be slowly buzzing with prospect for the bands to come.

Interview: Grammatics
Leeds is a graveyard. Here lies buried This Et Al, Immune, Forward Russia, Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst In To Flames, Polaris and Wintermute in amongst many others. Grammatics were added to the list of casualties on Friday 20th August 2010, their name now etched in stone, and I'm left with the distinct feeling that we fucked this one up more royally than most...

Interview: Hyro da Hero
Hyro Da Hero is a rapper from Houston with a rock soundtrack, but with hard-hitting lyrics. I chatted to him backstage before his performance at Slam Dunk, about his touring schedule, performing with Sean Smith while kids lose their minds and how, in his words, "Hyro is coming to change music!"

CD Review: Xi - Montauk
Rock music. It's not that simple these days. Like a supermarket that has so much variety it's hard to know what to get, rock music has so many flavours, it's hard to pin down which flavour of rock music is rock music these days.

CD Review: Redcarsgofaster - Sanctuary
At first - average pub band, at second - a very credible culmination of UK rock stylings, at third - a rather immense experience plagued with the swerve and confidence of another very exciting prospect from Leicester's emerging indie scene.

Live Review: The Smokestacks + Loqui + Mary Wanna Smile
Mary Wanna Smile were a very solid, straight-forward rock band, performing some well crafted acoustic ditties.

CD Review: Various Artists - A Collection of Calamity: Volume One
This review is being submitted later than intended due to the initial CD not having the correct postage, and after paying the difference, the post office managed to redirect it around Leeds before it arrived on my doormat.

Live Review: John Squire + The Basement
... A funny thing happened to me on the way to the refectory. Actually it didn't, I was just late. Almost as late in fact as the members of The Basement are for the Dylan bandwagon that they seem so keen to jump on.

CD Review: Various Artists - Valentine Records Sampler
As the inlays states this represents a "12 month rollercoaster of learning curves, guitar bashing, synth-thrashing and a 'no safety net' approach" and as with any rollercoaster there are some high and low moments throughout this 10 track offering from one of the countries most promising independents.

Live Review: Twin Atlantic + Fighting With Wire
Twin Atlantic seem to have gone rather low profile recently. Despite touring with big names like Biffy Clyro, Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance earlier in their career, the band have never really lived up to the expectation created with the release of the excellent Vivarium mini album in 2009, so it's now, with debut full-length Free fresh in the shops, that the Scottish alternative rock tykes need to up their game some.

Having kicked, screamed and fought their way out of Brighton, United Kingdom in early 2007 with awe-inspiring debut full-length This Is Where The Fight Begins, The Ghost Of A Thousand have rapidly become one of the UK's most valuable and unique musical assets, thanks to their unhinged, uncompromising and utterly invigorating style.

CD Review: The Dangerous Aces - ...Deny All Responsibility
TNS Records fans may remember The Dangerous Aces from the 'Mainstream Music is Shit' compilation, so it comes as no surprise that their debut album is fast and furious DIY punk rock, all gloopy with snot-nosed vocals and played with the sort of sloppy enthusiasm usually reserved for the live arena.

This time of year again with some fantastic Leeds artists such as Ellen and the Escapades, Hannah Trigwell, Pulled Apart by Horses and Dinosaur Pile Up getting raving reviews from press it is interesting to see that the Live at Leeds festival has grown and now in its 5th year the small festival acts as a warm up to get people ready for the big festival season coming up this summer.

Interview: Dinosaur Pile-up
Setting the scene, I was escorted to a back room at the Brudenell where not only the band were chilling out, but also their manager and quite a few PR girls from Miller Genuine Draft and obviously a fridge stacked full of the beer. Normally I am just used to the band and sometimes not even the full ensemble so, feeling a little put on the spot, I put out my questions and here's what happened...

Live Review: Milo + Uptight + Beat Route 62 + db5
It's Friday night, it's cold and it's wet, so do you stay in and get depressed because you have no friends, or do you go out to catch some top live bands from your local area giving their all in a great pub which sells decent beer, get hideously drunk in a nightclub afterwards, fall all the way home then wake up in a strange bed the next morning with little or no recollection of how, why or when?

Live Review: Of Montreal + The Rollercoaster Project

The memories are hazy, the order of events may not be quite right but I know two things; beer flows freely in The Fav and amazingly it didn't rain, or at least certainly not enough to water down my Sol or to kill any of the musicians on stage.

Band Profile: Twisted Wheel
Twisted Wheel was formed in February 2007 in Oldham Band members are guitarist and singer Jonny Brown, bassist Stephen Evans and drummer Eoghan Clifford The Guardian's Paul Lester commented on the band: 'The sound of Manchester's youth snatching back '60s psychadelia and using it to smash in the windows of '77 punk..Basically, the kid from 'Kes' has formed a punky skiffle band and he's pissed off about that dead bird..the band produce a 'furiously fast rockabilly rumble, so primitive and unrefined it makes the Monkeys sound like ELP.' BACKGROUND First things first...Twisted Wheel are not named after the legendary Northern Soul club of the same name (though they are aware of it), are encyclopedic about their musical heroes and recoil at the thought of being pigeon-holed as a 'northern band'.
