CD Review: The Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart
On hearing the excellent dumb-garage two-minute "C'mon C'mon" those already familiar with The Von Bondies would have been forgiven for thinking that the new album would be a major step towards a spikier output and away from the fuzzed up blues of "Lack of Communication".

CD Review: Innerpartysystem - Heart of Fire
Following their recent profile boost, thanks to the success of re-released single 'Don't Stop,' Innerpartysystem release this six-track EP 'Heart of Fire.' Title track 'Heart of Fire' lays a veneer of glitches and light-electro synths over dark, reverberating riffs, before launching into a thumping, drum-heavy chorus and hook-packed pop vocals.

CD Review: Wildbirds & Peacedrums - My Heart
In my time of reviewing I've come across some corking press releases. Often written by the bands themselves, usually in a painfully awkward third person, press releases seem to be a way of hoping against hope that the reviewer won't actually listen to the CD and will just copy/paste their somewhat ambitious statements into their evaluation.

CD Review: Simple Plan - Get Your Heart On!
For a fourth album, you would imagine that a band would have matured somewhat, but from the obvious title innuendo to the final note, it is clear that this is not the case with 'Get Your Heart On!' which only proves that despite a career spanning twelve years, Simple Plan are not a 'mature' band, and to pretend to be otherwise would be ridiculous.

CD Review: Jesse Malin - Broken Radio
This song was made for The Boss. The addition of Bruce Springsteen's vocals to this tale of escapism through the car radio is an arena anthem worthy of its recent blitz on Radio 2.

CD Review: WhoresWhoresWhores - Unicorn
Wow. Wow. Wow. I think WhoresWhoresWhores have a convert here. In no time at all the Leeds-based Screamo pioneers bluntly assert themselves to the listener with their trademark slightly off-kilter thrashing guitars and unrelentingly abusive vocals; and this is no bad thing.

CD Review: The Fret - Mr Beat

CD Review: Four Tet - There Is Love In You
Two-years since his last release, 'Ringer,' experimental electro genius Four Tet is back with his seventh studio album 'There Is Love In You.' The long-awaited album opens with the hauntingly beautiful 'Angel Echoes.'

For a few days now I've been promising myself a night of listening to music just for the hell of it. It's been a while (at least a week) since I delved through the collection to rediscover a forgotten gem, trawled the web to find something new, or indulged in a spot of nostalgia via a certain video-sharing website.

CD Review: The Alamo - Hello Venus!
It's fresh, it's loud. It's the Alamo. Four bars, four beats, four songs, four kids. And they're doing a great enthusiastic blast of natural rock with no frills and no attempt to imitate anyone except themselves.

Sam Murray emailed Izzi some questions while she was in America to find out about the album, the collaborations and what made Izzi want to get into music.

CD Review: New Adventures - In Our Hands
To say this is only New Adventures' second release (and their second single at that) is impressive. The title track is a slab of radio friendly, uplifting rock with the sort of soaring chorus that would give radio-rock superstars Coldplay and Snow Patrol a run for their money.

Live Review: Two Door Cinema Club
For a band signed to Kitsune I was surprised to see just how many guitars were being lined up at side stage; most of my experience with Two Door Cinema Club is based on floods of remixes, and their album ploughs with a kind of mechanical relentlessness, which is possibly a ridiculous way of saying they might have used electronic drum sounds.

CD Review: Captain Wilberforce - Everyone Loves A Villain
This release is quite a confusing listen. The explosive, fuzzy power-pop 'gems' of Captain Wilberforce's previous releases set the tone, with a thoroughly tolerable, bubbly aim to please.

Live Review: Trembling Bells and Bonnie Prince Billy
What is it about Bonnie Prince Billy and Scotland? Not content with adopting a moniker almost the same as The Young Pretender so famously defeated at the battle of Culloden, William Oldham has now linked up with Glasgow psychedelic mediaeval folk band Trembling Bells in a collaborative venture not quite as daring as a Jacobite uprising.

CD Review: Alec Empire - The Golden Foretaste of Heaven
Starting your own record label with an advance bestowed on you by another record label could either be a great example of "sticking it to the man", or being a supremely selfish narcissistic tit depending on your viewpoint.

CD Review: The Lodger - Many Thanks For Your Honest Opinion
"TWONG!" That is the sound of a bedspring snapping as a fully-grown man attempts to replicate the "pogo", a fairly basic dance move last performed by the subject in an indie disco circa 1995.

Live Review: Amycanbe + Silent Movie Stars + Sonic Sniper
Upon arriving at the pub, I purchased the usual pint of wife-beater and made my way down stairs. Sitting down in the rather empty basement room I was surprised that the first band was not already on.

Live Review: Fyfe Dangerfield
"I can't believe I just said that; why did I say that?", Fyfe sniggers after wryly introducing the two rather elegant violinists at his side as "my bitches." Wearing a haggard suit and sporting the audacious combination of socks and sandals (he later admits he forgot to pack another pair of shoes before he left home earlier that morning), he casually tussles with his golden hair, looking more like a bohemian businessman than anything else.

CD Review: Ali Whitton - Kisses/Curses
"What is love except a way to lose a friend? What is life except a means to an end? What are you except a reason for me to show a little hope?" Okay, okay, so I'm an over-emotional little soul; therefore, I will automatically take under my wing any waif-like 'singer-songwriter' (there are those heinous words again) with a tear stirring behind their eye and a pitiful rip in their denims, no matter if they're good, middling, or, quite frankly, rubbish, out-of-tune whine-bags.

CD Review: Veil Cassini - s/t
Veil Cassini's debut EP proves that the Devon quartet have a hundred and one ideas when it comes to music, and for some reason they try to cram every last one of them into two songs, 'Silhouette' and 'Box & Cox.' Take almost any part of these musical mazes and you'll find enough off-kilter ideas to kit out five more songs.

CD Review: One Day, After School... - Untitled
From Wakefield's One Day, After School... comes a four track demo bringing together tracks previously released on a number of compilations, including 'Geek Pie III' and 'Do You Suffer From Philophobia?' First up though, is previously unreleased track 'Softly Softly.' As the only song not to have not enjoyed a compilation release, it is, rather expectedly, the weakest of the bunch.
