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'.

Live Review: Glasvegas + Friendly Fires + White Lies + Florence & The Machine
It's no doubt the NME Awards Tour presents some pretty big shoes to fill. With former headliners such as The Killers and Arctic Monkeys now dusting their platinum disc collection and the ever present danger of finding yourself engaged to a leotard-clad, Brazilian lass, it's a wonder any bands rise to the challenge.

Live Review: The Pigeon Detectives
Having been there at early The Pigeon Detectives gigs at The Cockpit and Leeds Met University, and witnessed the excitement of following a local band right up to the big league, before that quick second album dumped them so unceremoniously out of favour again, I was interested to see how they would come out fighting at their Christmastime homecoming shows.

Live Review: Faithless
You just know it's going to be a killer night when you're informed (after arriving at the venue) that your photographer's official photopass allows them to go absolutely anywhere and do absolutely anything except take photos...

Live Review: Lostprophets + Kids In Glass Houses
What better way to spend Valentine's Day than with 2300 others rocking out for nostalgia's sake. Saying that, there are plenty of younger people in attendance, who are clearly too young to remember the beginning of the last decade.

Live Review: Goo Goo Dolls + Unkle Bob
Yes, they played 'Iris' and everyone in the crowd sang along. There's a chance you stopped reading there and from the reaction of friends you'd be forgiven for thinking The Goo Goo Dolls had only ever released one track, but it's often seen as one of the best songs ever, even reaching the heady heights of being (abysmally) covered by Ronan Keating.

Live Review: Jimmy Eat World + Minus The Bear
Jimmy Eat World have come a long way since 2001's Bleed American. Whilst Futures only proceeded to propel them further towards the heights of mainstage festival slots, 2007's Chase This Light was definitely a low dip in form.

Live Review: Scouting For Girls
Scouting For Girls are no strangers to Leeds and by looking at the crowd waiting to get in it won't be long before they are back again.

Live Review: Newton Faulkner
There is a strange atmosphere as I enter the O2 for Newton Faulkner's sold out show, I can't pin point it but something isn't right.

Live Review: Hot Chip + Casiokids
I was initially disappointed at being exiled upstairs at the o2 but Casiokids made up for it in part with an energetic percussive electro set.

Live Review: Big Audio Dynamite
I am a fan of The Clash. I am a fan of Dreadzone. I understand the legendary status of DJ Don Letts. Therefore who was I to turn down a trip to see B.A.D.
