CD Review: Guided by Voices - Human Amusement at Hourly Rates
I'd heard Guided By Voices albums are notoriously erratic with songwriter Robert Pollard obviously missing a prominent branch of musicians philosophy best personified by Creedance Clear Water Revivals John Fogerty: "It doesn't make it mo' betta when you add mo' junk".

CD Review: The Young Knives - Voices of Animals and Men
On the face of it the casual observer may assume that The Young Knives are just another overnight arrival from The Futureheads' pressing plant, but how wrong they would be.

CD Review: Shy Child - Liquid Love
The Synthpop/Electronic duo Shy Child, who released their first album back in 2002, have released their fourth album 'Liquid Love.' It's an album full of their usual catchy pop tunes, but seems to have a little more maturity than some of their earlier work, such as 'Drop the Phone.' 'Disconnected' has a memorable tune and is reminiscent of MGMT's music, with falsetto voices and the repetitiveness of the chorus, "I'm disconnected from the source that won't take it out, out / travels backwards in your mouth / let me get it out, out." There is a discomfort in listening to the chorus and perhaps this reflects the discomfort of being disconnected, but nonetheless it should be listened to in moderation.

Live Review: Ragz + Neeta + Ellen Smith + Tom Hunt
Despite what NME would have you believe the future of music is not all about "angular guitars". Nor, as The Guardian asserts, is Leeds simply the centre of the universe for Dark Metal and Goth musical inspiration.

CD Review: The Unthanks - Here's The Tender Coming

CD Review: The Bronx - Shitty Future
The Bronx are back with their take on 80's hardcore and 70's punk. Creepy bass looms at the beginning, then it's covered by harmonised solid vocals by hard voices.

CD Review: The Couderhae Connection - Untitled
A five track demo from a new (to me) acoustic duo is a very pleasant end to a good weekend. Ben Wetherill and Matthew Loveday provide two guitars, alternating voices, a bass guitar and a cello to show off five delicate and (mostly) well-made songs.

CD Review: Papa Roach - Lifeline
Love them or hate them, with over ten million album sales under their belt, you can't deny that Papa Roach have done alright for themselves, even if they've never really been 'hip.' The second single to be lifted off their 'Metamorphosis' album, 'Lifeline' is more radio-friendly than first single 'Hollywood Whore.' While this may turn off fans of Papa Roach's angrier, more metal-tinged material, you can easily imagine arenas full of people lending their voices to the chorus.

CD Review: Damien Rice - 9 Crimes
After an oh-so-tender piano intro from Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan has to move beyond the first phrase or two of '9 crimes' before you're convinced she's the vocalist and that Damien isn't exercising a bit of husky falsetto before getting into his own sound with built in purr-growl facility.

CD Review: Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces

On the surface of things, The Young Knives do not come across as an instantly likeable band. Their whole geek-chic image, seemingly meaningless moniker and ludicrously named bass player (The House of Lords, those of you who were wondering) make it easy to mark them down as achingly hip, annoyingly pretentious passengers on the indie scenester bandwagon where being able to pout is much more important than being able to play.

Live Review: Elliot + Dugong + Future Adventure + Kids Near Water + Skuttle

Live Review: Bloc Party + The Futureheads + LCD Soundsystem + Komakino + Maximo Park + VHS or Beta + O Fracas + ¡Forward, Russia!
Three days, four nights (five, even, if you're hardcore, or none if you're of the wired, Lucozade Tablet-guzzling insomniac variety), thousands of lovely boys attentive to the lure of (so) many an alluring female, two hundred bands, two million pints of Carling and two famed yellow wellies; it's all about numbers.

Live Review: Unexploded Shells + Wheelie + Girlb & The Invisible Men + Redwood Thinkers
Firstly I would like to begin by giving the woman on the end of the West Yorkshire Metro enquiries line a beating with a stick for knowing nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, about how to get anywhere in Leeds and particularly anywhere involving bus routes 51, 51a, 52, 52a, 53, 56, 74 and 95.

Live Review: Northern Theremonic + Happy as Larry + Ramon + Graham Coules
I came tonight for only the second time to the Royal Park pub and I was indeed a Panama Virgin. I had heard good things about Steve Kind and his nights and was eager to find out if they were true.

Live Review: Yellow Stripe Nine + 45 Revolutions + Pierpoint
Local showcases are always unpredictable and without pretense thus making them top reviewing candy. Occasionally rousing, sadly more than often easily forgettable and very very rarely awe-inspiring.

Interview: iLiKETRAiNS
In the busy world of the Leeds Music Scene, there's always a few bands who slip quietly into the main arena. iLiKETRAiNS are one of these bands, playing their sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, but always beautiful take on post rock theatrics.

Live Review: Biffy Clyro + The Pigeon Detectives + The Young Knives + Micky P Kerr + Mute Math
Mute Math - The Carling Stage The New Orleans quartet are perhaps only known thus far as recently re-doing the Transformers theme and for their excellent video to "Typical" which has attracted over 1 million views on Youtube.

Live Review: Dog City + Rob Galloway + 45 Revolutions + Type Press
To be honest I had never heard of the first two bands that were on the bill this evening, so I went into this completely blind but very open to the prospect of hearing something new and fresh to my ears.

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: 5ft4 + Danny Carr + Percy
There's always been a place for humour in music. All the best bands had wit without being cheesy and over the top with it, and tonight proves that humorous observations and amusing asides don't mean you have to be the Grumbleweeds.

CD Review: Samuel Foxton Welles - Pony and Trap
Debut album from Yorkshire-based individualist Samuel Foxton Welles is a charming, old-fashioned and eccentric trip through the English countryside, where the worst thing that can happen, is getting knocked off your bicycle while carrying a basket full of eggs, and all the locals know that you should stop to let a tractor pass.

CD Review: The Shadowcops - A Big Pot Of Hot
It seems a prerequisite that any band on Manchester-based independent record label TNS Records' roster, will specialise in shouty, snotty, DIY punk rock played at quadruple speed, and The Shadowcops are no exception.

CD Review: The Casino Brawl - Shades ; Directions
North-East based five-piece The Casino Brawl occupy the middle ground between Bullet For My Valentine's accessible metalcore, and The Ghost of a Thousand's not-so-accessible hardcore.

North Atlantic Oscillation are an interesting band, and with 'Grappling Hooks' they have managed to construct an album that sounds exactly like Windows' Media Player's 'Visualisation' setting looks.
