Decoration: Candidate / Job In London
Northern new-jangle masters Decoration continue their campaign to catch the eye of the world with another release from their excellent debut album.
In the way Bon Iver's debut album is reaped in the romanticism attached to the isolated log cabin, Leeds folk artist Benjamin Wetherill can claim a similar sense of idealistic beauty in the form of using a derelict 19th century palace on the outskirts of Budapest to record his long-awaited debut album.
They still look like extras from the rough council estate in The Bill but the 4 lads from Leeds have done pretty well for themselves in this their year of destiny.
Released on the Glasgow based Soma label, home of thinking techno and house; this latest release follows a well-trodden and successful path.

From what I can figure the 's/t' stands for self-titled, an appropriate name for the widely anticipated debut album from The Leif Ericsson.
It has to be said that on first listen, I struggled to find anything worthwhile on this album. As the follow up to 2004's 'Raw Nerve' debut album my expectations were high, especially after seeing their strong set live.
Maximo Park: I Want You to Stay
It has been a fairly inauspicious rise to glory for Maximo Park with their Gold selling debut "A Certain Trigger".

Fountains of Wayne: Stacey's Mom
Perhaps best known in the UK for 'Radiation Vibe' from their eponymous debut, Fountains of Wayne are ready to make a bigger impression with this first release from their third album 'Welcome Interstate Managers'.
When a great band come together there are good odds on them coming from Manchester, so it is no surprise that Snowblind, a combination of Leeds' Jane Murphy and Liverpool's Paul Williams, claim a Manchester heritage.
A bit of a curious one this. A re-release of the opener from Counting Crows' third album 'This Desert Life' in a new '04 Rock Mix' guise.
There was a time around the release of their debut album "Lido" when Clearlake were regarded as heirs-in-waiting to Jarvis Cocker's throne of writing deadpan songs celebrating the everyday lives of ordinary people.
The Pigeon Detectives: Emergency
Perhaps the most sought after album of the year thus far. 'Emergency', the second album from The Pigeon Detectives, released 2 days short of a full year since their debut blessed the ears of indie rockers everywhere.
It's Second Album Syndrome for the class of 2005. So far, The Kaisers and Arcade Fire seem to have done pretty well for themselves, as have the ever outspoken Bloc Party.
Arriving late I assumed that the support band would be onstage as the tickets said doors at 7. They weren't, and didn't get on stage until well past 8.
Whilst the music world seems to be in a fervour over the latest wave indie bands from the North West who all sound remarkably and uninspiring similar, Manchester band The Whip have produced a stand-out indie-electro dance album.
Based in London but with a multi-national line up ranging from Chile to Canada, The Conway Story, named after 17th Century Philosopher Anne Conway, release their third and final single, 'Ghostwriter', before embarking on the recording of their debut album later this year.
Lets clear one thing up before I write this review. I love Bloc Party. I can find very few criticisms of them.

Various Artists: Maybeshewill / Her Name Is Calla - split single
The two bands that make up this 12" vinyl split single on Nottingham based imprint Field Records have already built quite a cult following throughout the year.
The Kennedy Soundtrack @ Leeds Festival 2002
The hard rock antidote to The White Stripes on the Main Stage, these Welsh rap-metallers roared with rage.
The melancholy guitar swirling and reflective lyrics of The Somatics' eponymous debut album quickly evoke thoughts of aspirations unrealised and of opportunities spurned.
The Coral: Nightfreak & The Sons of Becker
The latest recording form The Coral is the product of improvisational sessions. I awaited the release of this CD with anticipation since I saw them in November and heard two of the songs live.
MARK CROSSLEY - GUITAR/VOX PETE HILEY - GUITAR/VOX GAV BAILEY - BASS/VOX JAMES RUGG - DRUMS Jack Afro formed in September 2005 from the ashes of Leeds based band Lucky Royale.

The Bluefoot Project are an amalgamation of urban heads fusing many different styles into a vocal-led, beat-driven, 21st century soulful funk with nods in the right direction to reggae, hip hop, gospel and leftfield.
Every turning this week - Biffy Clyro are amazing this... Biffy Clyro were incredible that... Damn good marketing, since before this week I'd never heard of them.
The Futureheads @ The Refectory
With their second album News & Tributes, The Futureheads seem set to cement their position as one of Britain's biggest bands.
Hot Hot Heat: Middle Of Nowhere

"If I ruin it all now I only have myself to blame, I am in control of my own destiny" : Lucy Adams catches up with Dominic Masters from The Others at their recent Cockpit show...
Less Than Jake: She's Gonna Break Soon
Less Than Jake. My introduction to ska. The first time I heard music and thought "that is THE sound I want to hear".
Signed to the esteemed Soma label, home to Silicone Soul and Slam no less, Funk D'Void's latest release has the weight of expectation behind it.
Cortney Tidwell: Don't Let The Stars Keep Us Tangled Up (Ewan Pearson Remixes)
It's not unusual to find dance-based remixes of indie artists left wanting, so when the title track from the Nashville-based Cortney Tidwell's 'Don't Let The Stars Keep Us Tangled Up' is given a dance-floor makeover you have every right to be dubious.
ambient electronic pop
The West Country boys are back with a new 'Best Of' album including 5 new songs. This is the first of them and as the funky guitar and strong bass kicks in it's instantly recognisable as Reef, although it sounds slicker than anything we've heard from them before.
Making timeless music is difficult and important. You may not fully understand how or why bands make such music, maybe you don't even care.
Amber Headlights is the first solo record from Greg Dulli, ex-singer/songwriter of the criminally underrated grunge/soul outfit The Afghan Whigs, and founder of the excellent (and still together) Twilight Singers.
"All the best female-fronted pop songs ever ('Atomic', 'Kids In America', anything involving Gwen Stefani), mashed up and sung out by an indie Alison Goldfrapp in a stripy prom dress. Better believe it, buddy" NME
Mogwai: Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait
Mogwai have always been seen as one of the rightful heirs to the upper echelons of the post-rock pantheon, their 1997 debut Young Team proving to be both a boisterous statement of intent and the warning shot that was fired across the bows of the bloated sub-Oasis-junk that was cluttering the mainstream hinterland of the time.
Benjamin Wetherill: The Derby Ram
It would be quite easy to throw Benjamin Wetherill's name in the "freak folk" category often attached to the likes of Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Vashti Bunyan and Iron & Wine, but with Benjamin you always seem to get something refreshingly different.
Melodic indie-pop minstrels The Lodger have avoided rushing into recording their debut album, the band instead deciding to rouse interest through several single releases on a variety of independent labels.
Since their brief flirtation with success; 1991's 'Bandwagonesque' was voted album of the year over Nirvana's 'Nevermind' by Spin magazine in their end of year poll and great things were predicted for the band, Teenage Fanclub have quietly disappeared from most people's pop radar.

Diesel-U-Music is inviting Leeds' next generation of DJs and MCs to come out of their bedrooms to express their musical abilities in association with Sugar Beat at the legendary Elbow Rooms in Leeds (26th April).
Kill Hannah: Until Theres Nothing Left Of Us
Kill Hannah's 'Until There's Nothing Left of Us' saw a US release in 2006. Now, two years later, it finally gets a UK release with a modified tracklisting that sees a number of the album's original songs dropped in favour of three tracks from Kill Hannah's as-yet-unreleased-in-the-UK debut, 'For Ever and Never.' The result is more a 'best of' than a coherent album, but you can hardly blame Kill Hannah for wanting to make the best possible impression on the UK audience.
The Ghost Of A Thousand @ Cockpit
It's minus four outside The Cockpit, as the Atticus tour rolls into Leeds, bringing with it four of the UK's finest punk rock and roll bands, and for most of the already sweating, baying throng inside, it's not a moment too soon.
indie rock
Deja vu. Deja vu from the exact same time last year. Stuck in the same pokey Cockpit auxiliary room with an altogether comatose audience but nevertheless an incendiary performance from one of British rocks most talented outfits.
Sheffield over the past year has lost out on four tradesmen but gained yet another new name to add to their increasing list of bands that are discharging out of the city and becoming national, if not global names. No longer will it be know for its steel industry, but for its abundance of long haired, converse wearing, real life talking bands.

Alex Denney caught up with The Sunshine Underground during their current UK headlining tour

The Blackout: The Blackout! The Blackout! The Blackout!
The Blackout have never claimed to be reinventing the wheel. Most of the criticism levelled at the valley boys are usually due to their lack of originality.
Ooberman returned to West Yorkshire to celebrate the release of their debut album, The Magic Treehouse.
Yourcodenameis: Milo: Schteeve
Following their impressive Albini produced debut mini album, Yourcodenameis: Milo release their first single proper produced this time by Flood.

Band Profile: Captain Wilberforce
Formed after an impetuous fit of song-writing one weekend early in 2004, multi instrumentalist / vocalist Simon Bristoll, aka Captain Wilberforce, has come a long way in a short time.
Way back in March 2004 I had the pleasure of reviewing Kashmir's debut UK release in the form of the sublime Selection of 2 Lilies EP.
The Subways: Young for Eternity
Just over a year ago hotly tipped new band The Subways were handpicked by Michael Eavis to play on stage at Glastonbury and since then their rise has been nothing short of amazing; going on to support Oasis and headlining some of the most raucous music events of the year including The Camden Crawl and XFM's Xmas Party.
Al Donlon - Keyboards, Vocals Craig Hale - Vocals, Guitar Nick Hawes - Guitars Christopher Lambert - Drums Mark Wilson - Bass, Vocals Craig Hale carries round a tiny silver 'piskie' with him wherever he goes.
A good crowd turned up for tonight's free Barfly sessions gig but there was plenty of room and it could have been promoted a little bit better because many of the genuine fans who would have paid to see these bands knew nothing of it.
Arctic Monkeys: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
There's that little bit of elitist in me that would just love to shoot this album down right from the off, to rip into it with merciless vigour and launch a tirade about how why it's because of bands like the Arctic Monkeys that music isn't like it used to be.
As one half of ambient techno messiahs Orbital, Paul Hartnoll can feel justifiably proud of his act's legacy since their inception as early 90's warehouse rave regulars to their swansong at Glastonbury 2004.
Jumpcut describe the opening track of their debut single release as "a pop tune and as such a blatant attempt to crack the Top Ten", but it can safely be assumed that this is tongue-in-cheek optimism from the instrumental three-piece.
I'm always suspicious of a CD when I see a quote from Pete Tong on the front cover, and there it is on the front of this Munkie album, 'Progression'.
Good Shoes: Think Before You Speak
I was slightly sceptical about how I would find South London quartet Good Shoes' début album, 'Think before you speak'.
Second single to be released from Charlotte Hatherley's critically acclaimed debut album 'Grey Will Fade', 'Bastardo', is a poppy, sun-kissed, fun-packed offering.
After the sun goes down on a rare glorious spring day in Leeds, Idlewild are creating havoc among the crowd gathered in Leeds Met Uni S.

"Lock Up Your Mothers" - an interview with The Sugars!
The Glitterati @ Fibbers (York)
"We all wanna be big, big stars but we don't know why and we don't know how". So sang Counting Crows, which subsequently became their 'how'.
Dashboard Confessional: Dusk and Summer
One time, on one of my regular bored trawls through the lower vestiges of the internet in search of some light entertainment, I stumbled across a semi-amusing game called "create your own em* band name".
Amiina (formerly Amína) are an odd band. Four Icelanders better known for their connection with Sigur Rós more than anything else, they play an instrumental music that is hard to classify.
We all know about the "difficult second album" phenomenon. I mean, it's featured every year in the Great Rock and Roll Clichés Annual, next to such chestnuts as "we write songs for ourselves and if anyone else likes them it's a bonus" (he said whilst looking nervously over his shoulder at the suits from his record company) as well as the whole kafuffle of throwing a TV in through a hotel window.
Against Me!: As the Eternal Cowboy
Against Me! released the best album, in my opinion, of 2002 with their full length debut "Reinventing Axl Rose" with Gainesville luminaries No Idea Records.
I just made it to Rio's in time to catch Cursed Diamond doing a pretty decent a cover of "Fell In Love With A Girl" for their final song.
Burn The Mona Lisa: Plastic Pop
Displaying genuine heart-on-the-sleeve histrionics, Burn The Mona Lisa are said to be on a mission to 'overthrow the overrated' according to the media blurb accompanying this release.
This band will be big. When trawling through the thriving yet generally unimaginative Leeds scene, dominated as it is by generic pop-punk and the occasional 'innovative' ska movement, it's a relief to chance upon something a bit different.
This is an interesting beast. It's a mere five tracks in length, but sprawls out over an hour's playing time.

Jeff Klein: Everybody Loves A Winner
After around Europe with One Little Indian label mate Jesse Malin, this is Jeff Klein's first UK release.

All girl dark melodic/doom metal
As far as unsung classics goes, debut Hope of the States album 'The Lost Riots' has got to be up there with the most frustratingly unrecognised genius releases of the past decade.
Valentine's Day and yet the Cockpit brims with expectation tonight and many of the young lovers making up the crowd know that a sure guarantee of romance will come from the lilting serenade of Stephen Fretwell.
The Swedish four piece trip daintily on stage, accompanied by a hurdy gurdy soundtrack that conjures up images of accordion playing moustachioed fellows and Heidi running through lush meadows.
Duels: The Bright Lights and What I Should Have Learned

A dizzying line-up of acts has been announced for the first Big City Jazz festival in Leeds on August Bank Holiday weekend.
Vessels: White Fields and Open Devices
"You're going home in a Yorkshire ambiance!" Vessels are five young men with a grand, epic vision that resonates throughout their debut album "White Fields and Open Devices".
Million Dead: Harmony No Harmony
Million Dead are f**king awesome. No. Seriously. Folks. They really are. If 2003's debut effort 'A Song To Ruin' passed you by somewhat, firstly you are indeed a foolish human being and secondly, this, album number two, if you give it half a chance, will suck you in and spit you out believing THIS is something special and Million Dead are one of, if not the, best band in Britain right now.
The Sunshine Underground @ Cargo (London)
Cargo, home of the Shoreditch Twat, overpriced chips, and bad service. However, tonight the service provided by The Sunshine Underground is - unlike the London Underground - First Class.
The second LP from Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison) comes on in waves of liquid synths and stuttering beats.
Stateless @ Brudenell Social Club
It is about 8.15 when the Worriedaboutsatan boys set up in front of the Brudenell stage. There is a small crowd of people gathered to watch Gav and Tom as they begin to create strange noises scattered with heavy cut up beats and slow swarming chords.
Playing their first full-length tour over here in years (as support to Ed Harcourt), Leeds Music Scene caught up with Finn Andrews and Dan Raishbrook from Rough Trade-signed The Veils as they rolled into Brudenell Social Club, to discuss their recent tour of America, file-sharing, and the horrors of white reggae bands...

Dan Pullinger catches up with The Robots before their Out of Spite festival appearance...
Steve Elvidge talks with George Evelyn (Nightmares On Wax) prior to the December 12th show at the Faversham
Adem @ West Yorkshire Playhouse
A barmy warm night and an audience that looks like a life-style magazine for relaxed funky living, a perfect setting for some Folktronica and old school hippydom.
I used to love 3 Colours Red I did. Back in 1997 when I was taking my first tentative fumblings with these weird new genres such as "indie" and "metal" (note: post-rock didn't exist back in those days.
Stephen Fretwell @ City Varieties
In a modern world where singersongwriters are hotter than ever, unfortunately the bland James Blunt and beautiful Daniel Powter rule the airwaves.
Experiencing the sunshine mixed with alcohol and excessive loud noise is never good for the body after your stomach's feeling turgid from the day before.
Interview: Funeral for a Friend
John Harvey talks with Darren from Welsh emo hardcore band Funeral for a Friend, who recently headlined the NME tour in Leeds...
The Sugars: The Curse Of The Sugars
The Sugars appear to have been purveying their darkly sweet brand of rock 'n' roll to us lucky Leodensians for some time now, but this semi-eponymous long player is their debut full-length offering.
We catch up with The Glitterati at their Leeds show supporting Wildhearts to talk about local music scenes, rock and roll, and record deals...
Transgressive hasn't half done well for itself. Just a casual glance at the arsenal of bands at their disposal tonight to showcase to a global audience displays that.
Send More Paramedics @ Cockpit
That tonight's event is rammed to capacity and is being held in the larger of the venue's two rooms, only demonstrates how well respected Send More Paramedics are around these parts.
The Mooney Suzuki in Leeds. The Mooney who?! Luckily, a few raw enthusiasts for this New York beat combo managed to rustle up a crowd barely reaching a hundred, a real shame for a band whose live reputation back in the USA is huge.
Funeral for a Friend @ The Refectory
The fans are soaked, the band are soaked, even the ceiling is soaked. Funeral for a Friend's support is nothing short of triumphant as the 5 self confessed Welsh Valley boyos evacuate the stage concluding a set of vibrancy, urgency and enjoyment I had not accounted for.
Foo Fighters @ Leeds Festival 2005
Sunday started like any other day. Apart from this Sunday I happened to wake up in a field with 30 odd thousand other bear soaked, bleary eyed, unwashed, desperate bladder controlling festival revellers.
Victoria Holdsworth talks to The Glitterati as they make a welcome return to their hometown.
No it's not the Onion Cellar, though you'd be excused for referencing that particular venue. However, the grass is, indeed, green(ish), unlike The New Roscoe's shiny brass which is busy reflecting the populating of here, and the faces of solitary guys, with an honest lustre, (that match-making call was a good one).
AntiProduct @ Brudenell Social Club
Sex, Drugs, Profanity, Leaping, Stripping, Heckling, Moshing, Exploding Equipment, Biting the heads off bats...
Iron Maiden @ Leeds Festival 2005
Dark sky in the morning, festival goers warning. Fucking brilliant ensemble of bands on the main stage tonight, festival goers delight.
