I read the biog and listened to the CD; I read the biog again and listened again; I re-checked the biog and listened a couple more times; I gave it to a friend - he read the biog and listened, he also re-read the biog and listened again; We both turned to each other and shrugged!

According to their press release, the three members of Seed are only 16. Blimey. At such a young age, it's fair to say that they have plenty of potential.

CD single from this Welsh 4-piece, pretty straight up SoCal sounding pop punk. Complete with American accent.

The Gift: Untitled

The Gift are a three-piece consisting of Sean (bass/vocals), Nathan (guitar) and Jon (drums). This three track CD runs in at just under nine minutes and in attitude and style alone sounds more akin to 1970s punk - perhaps more so than anything that takes that name today.

Sketches @ Cockpit

It's the second of the Futuresound heats, and what I manage to catch of The Dead Certs' set is sadly quite brief, as I arrive at the Cockpit a little later than planned.

Band Profile: Johnny Poindexter

Johnny Poindexter's music was often described as bleak, bold, beautiful, and anything inbetween. Safe to say, you wouldn't find it down the disco.

That Fucking Tank: Andrew/James

The Couderhae Connection: Untitled

While others have come and gone, Spitfire Charlie have inauspiciously established themselves as a recognisable fixture on the Leeds scene.

The Fencott Disaster: Rome and Step On It

Four-track EP from these boys - 4 songs of NY garage influenced post punk, not a bad effort, some of the guitar work is quite interesting with the dual lead thing going on and with the bass rumbling away in the back makes for an ok listen.

The band formed through the demise of (in their original forms) Cowpuncher (Leeds festival x2) Slack Elvis/La Costa Rosa (toured with Sisters of Mercy/The Mission/The Ramones), Krueger and The Poison Hearts (nothing anywhere near as interesting).

A Day Left: The pseudo post neo modern avante bassment garden rock EP

Two spelling mistakes in a pisstake title that takes no piss is not a good start. A sound check drum intro to a trying-hard-to-impress first track takes things down another notch.
