CD Review: The Sweet Chap - Superman 3 / Girl With A Curl
From a label who will only release things as MP3 downloads, which in my opinion, is a brilliant idea, The Sweet chap swings and saunters over to my place, bottle of vino in hand, sleazy look on face.

Look beyond the My Chemical Romance-esque album title and the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' style song titles ('I'm Back Billy And I Want You,' anyone?) and Charlie Indestructible are a surprisingly heavy band.

CD Review: My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
The inner movie style sleeve of this album describes it as "The story of a Man. A Woman. And the corpses of a thousand evil men..." This is punk rock with a dark side and ever present gothic undertones with passionate and often anguished lyrics focusing around death and heartache ("say goodnight to the heart you break and all the cyanide you drank..." from 'To The End').

CD Review: The Sugars - Doo Wop (Sugar So Sweet)
Bands such as Arctic Monkeys may dispute that image isn't everything, and whilst it certainly isn't, it's always good to find a band who, in addition to writing first-rate songs, also have a good ol' bash at looking damned good.

Live Review: Selflove
Milo was hosting Night Vision, an interesting mix of music and poetry. Playing first, a three-piece who didn't give their name gave a short mix of covers including and an innovative re-working of Frou Frou's "Let Go" and a somewhat less innovative version of Ryan Adams' "Oh My Sweet Carolina" (maybe they should've done the 'classic' "This Is It"), as well as traditional Irish folk songs.

CD Review: Cardboard Cowboy - Untitled
This is a good CD. I'm told nothing about the band before I slot the disc in my machine, just a pretty piss poor name and a green CD/r.

Live Review: Ali Whitton + Nikoli + Fran Rodgers + Benjamin Wetherill
Forgetting it's Sunday I turn up just in time to see the end of Rob Galloway's set. This comprises of a song about doing something unsavory to a poor ginger girl's rectum and a cover of Electric Six's 'Danger!

Live Review: Nic Armstrong + David Viner
Geordie Nic Armstrong is old before his time, but thank the mighty Nashville Lord because his delta-swamp, blues-rock is the perfect antidote to the ageing process.

CD Review: Cathy Davey - Cold Man's Nightmare
This girl is a diamond. Or, more accurately, a mystical earth-princess of warmth and amber-shades nibbling on a toffee-apple and 'ooh'-ing at a bonfire who also happens to be able to write songs of such perfection (based on current evidence) that they've got you singing along three bars before they've even started.

Live Review: sammyUSA + The Primms
A half-filled room welcomed London-based three-piece The Primms onto the stage. Having heard the quite average two-track "Do You Know The Future?" EP (released on Destabilize Records), my hopes were less than high, and, unfortunately, the same blandness and mediocrity of their recordings was evident in The Primms' live set.

Live Review: Gallows
As the only band on the Leeds festival website without a bio or a Myspace link, it seemed a safe bet that The Rats were this year's secret/not-so-secret band.

CD Review: A Silver Mt. Zion - "This Is Our Punk Rock" Thee Rusted Satellites Gather + Sing
As openers go, they don't get much more perfect or sublime than the choral, vocal arrangement of " Sow Some Lonesome Corner So Many Flowers Bloom." On a personal level, it seems to summarize every regret, every mistake I ever made.

Live Review: The Starting Line + The Early November + Anberlin
The emo backlash has definitely started. 'Cooler than thou' kids in studded belts listen to metal, or 'NWOAHM' these days, but no one has told the masses of people queuing in the cold for this emo-tastic triple bill.

CD Review: King Booty - s/t
More funky house music? Oh yes. King Booty sound like some sort of cross between those endless 'chilled dance music' CDs you see clogging up valuable space in Virgin Megastores and the sound of French dance music from about 1998 - 1999.
