Interview: The Wonder Stuff
'Twas a blustery wet night on Sunday 12th March 2006 when I forced my way into a packed out Cockpit in Leeds, to interview not only a legend, to all self respecting indie lovers, but also a rather splendid chap! In the immortal words of Take That would The Wonder Stuff be back for good?

Live Review: The Wonder Stuff
It's time for bleeding the money cow dry again, with The Wonder Stuff back in the game. There's the cheeky Miles Hunt, the rocker Malcolm Treece, quiet bassist Mark McCarthy, and drummer Andres Karu hidden behind excellent fiddle player Erica Nockalls, who has good posture and is probably classically trained.

CD Review: FineApple - The Good Stuff

CD Review: This Holiday Life - The Fallout
This Holiday Life are almost too knowingly good. Only an American band, and a Californian band at that, could be so unashamedly mellow and well produced, while singing such nifty songs with such passion and style.

CD Review: Franz Ferdinand - s/t
With a top three single (Take Me Out) there inevitably comes "hype" and with that greatest of all evils you can be assured of quite a few things: half the population loves you because you are the next best thing since the last; half the population hates you for the same reason; there's huge expectation put on your debut album and you're guaranteed some classic journalistic bandwagon jumping - for instance if you have read previously that Franz Ferdinand sound like The Strokes that is simply cobblers.

Bands don't get much more wonderfully bizarre than The Lovely Eggs, a married duo from Lancaster that have, for the past five years, been touring their surreal punk rock around the globe. Back with their third album 'WILDLIFE', we talk to Holly and delve into the minds of the band that write about sausage roll thumbs and washing line smiles.

CD Review: Wilt - Distortion
In their biography, Irish four-piece Wilt claim to be the emo REM, although I see neither as valid comparisons in their latest record "Distortion", which is a roller coaster of Americanised rock highs and lows that fits in well with the current music industry trends.

CD Review: Vatican Jet - Bronze Demo
Vatican Jet are a bit special. Verging on special needs special perhaps, but special nevertheless. Opener 'Olio' (a 'spiced stew' according to the dictionary, might be relevant, might be not) is a completely detached from the realms of normality, nearing on the pompous indie opera tale, culminating in a soaring Pavarotti-esque roar.

CD Review: The Gold Fever - California / Hear My Voice
Oh no it's that dreaded genre, a genre in which a band can be very very good or damn shite! Strangely enough The Gold Fever are neither, they have simple Ramones style guitar riffs mixed with indie melodies and vocals, yes kids, here we have another Indie-punk record, a genre which has confused us all.
