Live Review: Brand New + The Subways + Gogol Bordello + The Long Blondes + The Sounds
So my day started off heading to the NME stage to see up and coming Swedish bans The Sounds. Their blend of electro-rock goes down very well with the crowd and their set soon begins to attract a number of passers by into the tent.

CD Review: Auraluxe - Untitled
This is somewhere between the heroic emo-passion of cut-your-wrists on a weekend skinny white teen rebellion and the kitsch overbearing soft-rock farse that is Nickleback or Counting Crows.

CD Review: Jupiter and Teardrop - Bring Me Down EP
Jupiter and Teardrop don't reveal whether or not they are named after the song by Grant Lee Buffalo, but there are plenty of similarities in the Americana pop/rock sounds of main man Geoff Martyn's song writing.

CD Review: Mechanical Owl - Snowdonia EP
From the first time I switched this record on, I felt an instant comparison between Mechanical Owl and contempary Jakokoyak could be made.

Placebo's gender bending lo-fi pop sounds are still as popular as they ever were and their last record, "Sleeping with Ghosts" quietly sold over 4 million copies.

CD Review: Enter Shikari - We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don't Want Us To Escape
Ever since Enter Shikari blasted onto the scene five years ago, their post hardcore compositions that involve smashing together trance, hardcore and screamo vocals shot them very rapidly to stardom.

CD Review: Helgeland 8-bit Squad - Fresh Riddims & Dubs
Chiptune" or "8-bit music" is a funny old scene. Some of us may be unfortunate enough to remember the likes of Tetris charting, but there has been a revival in recent years and plenty of mainstream artists are using 8-bit sounds in their music.

CD Review: Duke Special - I Never Thought This Day Would Come
Duke Special has always been an interesting and unique artist - mixing old-fashioned gramophone and ragtime piano sounds with a modern song writing sensibility, heartfelt and often painfully personal lyrics, and an outrageous dreadlocked hairstyle.

CD Review: Misty's Big Adventure - The Solar Hi Fi System
Here it is folks, the single most bizarre CD I've ever come across. Musically, it's impossible to label, as they have so many different guises and sounds on this record that you lose yourself trying to second guess where the album is going to go next.

CD Review: Threekseven - The Halcyon EP
For several years now we have been listening to records from Constellation, Fat Cat, or Temporary Residence in which slow burning harmonic shifts and crystal guitar sounds conjur up dreams of a cleaner and better world - even in the grimiest venues and the most broken down cities.

CD Review: Feeder - Picture of Perfect Youth
Feeder have made the right decision here I think. Four albums into their career many bands (or record labels perhaps) would go for the cash cow 'Greatest Hits' album.

CD Review: The Wallbirds - The Avenue
What is there not to like about this trio of lads from Donny? Signed to the infamous Dance To The Radio label here is the first release by the band on 7" vinyl, an old school fashion which is coming back and making every trendy indie kid go out and get a gramophone.

CD Review: Thomas Truax - Why Dogs Howl at the Moon
Thomas Truax, he's an odd one that lad. Tours around the country and continent on trains, accompanied by The Hornicator and Mary Poppins (who I think has replaced Sister Spinster on percussive duties), 2 made up "instruments".

Live Review: Animal Collective + Dent May
On the back of a record cited by some critics as "one of the greatest from the last decade", it's easy to see why Animal Collective's 4th date in Leeds (in as many years) is the most hotly anticipated.

CD Review: Gentle Mystics - Gentle Mystics
Oh dear, I thought as I read that Gentle Mystics are a folk, electro, jazz, drum and bass, hip-hop, dub and trip-hop fusion band; this is going to be yet another case of a group attempting to blend far too many genres together and ending up with a horrible yellowy-brown kind of sound that no one in their right mind would possibly want to hear, and listening to the album is going to be like spending an evening tied to a chair in Pablo Escobar's basement- very unpleasant indeed.

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: Callum Macintyre - From Me to You EP
The DIY music making culture can often lead to some very amateurish work and poor musicianship; however Callum Macintyre has blended it with a great skill for songwriting and a strong knowledge of music to produce an EP that would work well on local radio and throughout the local music scene.

CD Review: Tindersticks - Waiting For The Moon
Tindersticks are one of the UK's most talented, and rather unfortunately, overlooked bands of the past 10 years or so, and 'Waiting For The Moon', their latest LP, should go a long way to help give the band the attention they deserve.

Live Review: LaRusso + The Landaus
The Landaus look a bit of an odd bunch on stage. There's the Britpop esque bassist, Taylor Hawkins on the drums and two singing guitarists who help bridge the indie to rock gap whilst sounding at times like Caleb Followhill.

The first track of this decidedly melodious album opens up like a blooming flower, with all the passion of The Walkmen and the synth-pop giddiness of Pulp aligned in a wonderful, mind/body/soul-warming manner.

CD Review: The Shins - Port of Morrow
You have to wonder at what point The Shins stopped being 'The Shins'.
