CD Review: Terra Diablo - Swings & Roundabouts (album sampler)
These tracks are from Terra Diablo's soon-to-be-released debut album on Zuma. Terra Diablo are a kind of Glasgow cross between Leeds bands Four Day Hombre and Parisman - in that they operate at a similar near-breakthrough level and get serious local respect.

CD Review: The Checks - Hunting Whales
The Checks are one of those extremely rare bands whose musical output is far more advanced than they are in age - put simply, this fresh-faced New Zealand band were in the right place at the right time when talent was being, unequally, handed out.

Live Review: Dan Audio + Arthur Rigby & The Baskervylles + Films + Miranda Versus The Crok
Miranda Versus The Crok open tonight's showcase with a characteristically solid set. The duo are a reliable opener but, acoustically especially, there is just something which fails to ignite about their music.

Live Review: The Misfits + Osaka Popstar
Nights like this, usually, are all about nostalgia. The Misfits are the long-standing torch bearers of a Goth-punk scene that has all but left them behind, younger, hungrier bands such as Alkaline Trio and My Chemical Romance taking Goth to new places and heights that could only be dreamt about back in the day.

CD Review: Shatner - Energise
By all rights Shatner really ought to be extinct. Given that the Big Brothers who quietly go about the business of corrupting the nation's youth decided to adopt the policies of Pol Pot somewhere around the late 90s, someone ought to have got round to sending Jim Bower & co to the glue factory by now.

CD Review: Ric Neale - Someone Else's Home
The most crucial factor for the success of any acoustic act, is the lead singer's voice. Thankfully, Ric Neale's voice is more than up to the mark.

Live Review: Fossil Collective + Luke Sital-Singh
I was at Jumbo as soon as Fossil Collective announced their tour. I'd intended to leave the notepad and pen (one of my few remaining Woolworth's A5 notepads with a biro jammed into the spiral-binder with a tendency to get stuck which at most gigs sounds like I'm adding a guiro accompaniment to proceedings) at home and just enjoy it.

CD Review: Daniel Clark - British Summertime
Daniel Clark's British Summertime EP - aptly titled, given the warmth, breeziness, and overarching congeniality of its contents - is oddly brief: it plays for just less than twelve minutes, and the material is divided more or less evenly across three songs, each slightly under four minutes.

CD Review: Five Mile Island - Satellites
Leeds-based outfit Five Mile Island follow up their debut demo, released earlier in the year, with their first full-length 'Satellites.' Three of the five previously demoed tracks have made it onto this release and while they still have all the original flaws, it's encouraging to compare them to 'Satellites's new songs.

CD Review: Video Nasties - On All Fours
'On All Fours' is the debut full-length from West London's Video Nasties, serving up eleven tracks of fuzzy, heavily-distorted punk, with occasional forays into more experimental territory.

Live Review: Sunny Philadelphia + Daniel Clark + Elmaroe
'The Crow Knows Music' is a relatively new 'Independent Music Company' on the Leeds scene, whose mission statement, according to its creator Daniel Clark, is to quench "the thirst of the city's thirsty thirsty music scene" and to provide "a stable platform for its array of quality unsigned acts".

Turning up on Friday morning, swapping my piece of paper for my press pass, pitching my tent in guest camping and making my way to the arena, I was really pleased I'd been able to come to Leeds this year.

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.

CD Review: Villagers - Awayland
I should start with a big fat apology. I begged an advance copy from Domino then missed the release date because of a book.

Live Review: Stateless + The Hair + Nikoli + Ric Neale + Captain Wilberforce
"Left foot, motion! Right foot, stand still! I don't need these words!" No, you do not, Sam Robson. You do these things with your legs involuntarily, as though possessed by a more sexually-frustrated John Travolta, only sporting a more scruffy nature of clothing, jeans dripping with condensation, an explosion of hair being thrown around your noggin.

CD Review: Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight
It's been a constant source of wonder why there's been so much fuss made over the perfectly OK Glasvegas this year when another Scottish band released possibly the finest album of 2008 yet escaped the NME's and most everyone else's spotlight.
