CD Review: Mat Tanner - Untitled
Ah, the singer/songwriter. Somehow they've taken over the world, via Radio 2 of course. Thankfully, unlike the other twenty thousand of them all vying for attention after the successes of Blunt, Tunstall, Powter, Fretwell, et al, this isn't too bad.

CD Review: Fun. - All The Pretty Girls
fun. continue their whimsical eclecticism with 'All The Pretty Girls,' a song that takes the clunk of folk-pop, works in a funky, retro-pop vocal and puts a bombastic spin on the cheerfully mongrel end-product, with string flourishes aplenty.

Live Review: The War on Drugs + Alexander Tucker
I was informed that "We are running a bit late" as I arrived at an empty Brudenell. I was a bit concerned because quite a few decent acts have had disappointing attendances recently but by the time the music started we had a good turnout.

Live Review: Northern Torch + Secret Sirens + Claire Cameron + Soulmates Never Die
Soulmates Never Die aka Josh Lewis is definitely the odd one out on tonight's roster. He has the difficult job of opening the proceedings with his one man acoustic musings as the packed out room waits for the far poppier acts to follow.

Live Review: Rothko + The Boats + Glissando + Pan Am Scan + Sleepingdog + Phantom Dog Beneath The Moon + Spokes
Tonight may be billed as 'Forest of Sound Vs Gizeh Records', but the musically complementary and socially affable dynamic between the two rooms, and quite literal musical-chairs of collaboration going on in the Packhorse, negate any connotations of rivalry.
