Live Review: The A.M. + This Floating World + Soula Fuzz + Will Saunders
If you have never been to, or played the Fez Club, I would recommend that you go. Nice staff, a friendly atmosphere 'Moroccan' / middle east décor and silken sheets for the bands to hide behind and call their dressing room.

CD Review: ¡Forward, Russia! - Nineteen
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 21, In Vietnam he was 19... ok it had to be done, of course this isn't a cover of the Paul Hardcastle's pop classic but part of ¡Forward, Russia!'s continuing plan to bring Numberwang to the masses.

CD Review: Esteban - Just A Girl
Inspired by PLAN UK's 'Because I'm A Girl' campaign, self-styled 'desert-funk' four-piece Esteban release 'Just A Girl.' Billed as the "alternative Christmas single," 'Just A Girl' is a politically-charged, world-music infused, easy-on-the-ears musical meander, with a genuineness that means it's nowhere near as toe-curling as most charity singles.

CD Review: Aqualung - Good Times Gonna Come
Matt Hales, dropped by Mercury after two singles with the 45s, sent a tune off to VW. Since motor vehicle manufacturers rule the world and kill more children per day than Sadam Hussain does in a mass destructive lifetime it probably seemed like a good idea.

CD Review: John Mayer - No Such Thing

CD Review: Polytechnic - Won't You Come Around?
With their permanent bed head and adorned in cardigans, Polytechnic are an Indie wimp's wet dream. Having previously witnessed a particularly lacklustre live performance that had about as much energy as one of the losing toy bunnies from the Duracell advert, hopes for this single were decidedly low.

Jonah Matranga's newest outfit it is then.

There's no denying Matt Joe Gow's sincerity as he breathily sings "You were my one true love", but the snaps adorning his website of him strumming in a white vest akin to an aftershave advert, paint an uncomfortable picture.

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.

CD Review: Funeral for a Friend - Into Oblivion (Reunion)
Nearly four minutes of the classic song structure. Build up your intro with strings, kick in with ear-splitting guitars, add a catchy chorus, repeat it minus a few instruments, before throwing everything out there for one last effort.

CD Review: Yes Boss - Look Busy
I'm not sure whether it would be sensible to say anything negative about Yes Boss. If the lyrics are to be believed then the wrong side of Noah is clearly not the place to be.

'Wall Ball' by Leeds' Uprights, is one of those albums where the vocals play second fiddle to all the strange noises the band are able to twist out of a guitar.

Live Review: Dandy Warhols
Fold your hands you walk like a rock star. The Dandy Warhols represent the triumph of substances over substance and their first two albums are testament to this with a handful of quirky, catchy and perfectly snotty pop gems along with dawdling tunes you might call "Atmospheric" or "Filler" if your in generous mood.

CD Review: March of Dimes - All Intents and Purposes
'All Intents And Purposes,' the debut full-length from March of Dimes, opens with the decidedly low-key, acoustic rattle of 'If We Only Had One Day.' The under produced edge gives 'If We Only Had...' an intimate, country feel that perfectly complements lyrics that don't always take the obvious route.
