Richard Ashcroft: Music Is Power
I like Richard Ashcroft, not as a fan but as a music lover admiring from a distance: too young to be swept along with The Verve whirlwind and too naïve to realise what Ashcroft was really saying in 'The Drugs Don't Work'.
Richard Ashcroft: Break the Night With Colour
After two years away Richard Ashcroft returns again to fill our hearts and souls. His new single "Break the Night With Colour" was released on 9th January 2006 under his new label Parlophone and upon hearing the single for the first time, I sensed the feeling that his roots now lie along side new mates Coldplay.
Richard Ashcroft @ The Refectory
After witnessing the dire becoming that is 'The Shining' a short while ago it was now time to see if any other remaining members of The Verve could still cut it.

Richard Swift: Beautiful Heart
Acoustic guitar, piano, bells! Californian singer-songwriter Richard Swift is here of course, and he brings a melancholy ballad for your broken souls.
Bifta Smoking Eskimos: The Columbian Cold EP
We now have a scoop the NME would love to get their hands on, Richard Ashcroft formerly of The Verve and currently enjoying a bafflingly successful solo career has sneaked over to Huddersfield and recorded an EP in secret, working under the name Bifta Smoking Eskimos.
There appears to be quite a few bands called Seed, this one however are two brothers from Leeds. Their brand of safe pop-rock is well produced and performed but lacks any real ingenuity.
Unkle's previous album, the musical elite showcase, known as Psyence Fiction was the brainchild of dance guru James Lavelle and the mighty DJ Shadow.
"Come on, come on you're singing this song". Am I? No I'm not. And nor shall I be listening to it again.
No biog and no website means no information about Galactico, so it's only a guess whether the band is named after the super stars of Real Madrid.
This two track sampler from Silvertin reveals a fondness for a sound that is quickly growing "old fashioned".
They have a name you're sure you've heard before, they have an image you know you've seen before and surprise surprise they have a song that sounds like an awful lot gone before.
"We aren't like any other band that are currently on the scene..." ahh the old classic. Anyone who's anyone who's been in a band has either thought it or said it and of course like all of them If I Were King are also incorrect.
With a name as unimaginative and generic as The Echo it is perhaps no surprise that the accompanying soundtrack offers very little in the way of innovation.
If this had been a demo from an unsigned band with slightly rusty production, then this review would be simple - lack of imagination, too much time spent listening to "Definitely Maybe", too much time spent going to the Richard Ashcroft school of stage performing, completely tired lyrics about beginners politics and being hard...
This ambitious 15 track album provides glimpses of the song writing talent on offer, but the flat aesthetics of the overall finished sound leaves little lasting impact.
Opening proceedings tonight are local boys Infrasound. Coming across a little like Annie Christian or Delirious they specialise in riff heavy verses and more melodic, driving choruses.
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster: The Royal Society
The Brighton boys of mayhem and disaster are back with their follow up to "Horse of the Dog" and they're sounding leaner, meaner and darker than ever before.
Prime Mover: Cabbages and Kings
Now then chaps and chapettes, how do you like your bass? Hidden away murmuring nicely in the background, contributing nicely to the overall convivial atmosphere but at a comfortable level where it can be safely ignored, rather like an elderly family member at a Christmas shindig?
Superelectric: E Is For Effort, A Is For Attainment
First off, I like this CD a lot, it's up there with a lot of good CD's, and I really enjoy listening to it.
I am loving the whole boy/girl vocal trend that seems to be kicking off at the moment. The Subways, Young Heart Attack, The Raveonettes all get the thumbs up from me for proving that rock 'n' roll is not gendered.
A sparsely populated Rocket bar greets us tonight, surprising considering who is playing but nevertheless, we obtain some drinks and make our way to two of the twelve spare stools.
Well to say it's my first gig of the year, it's a packed Mixing Tin, and how impressed was I this evening - VERY!
e·mo·tion (-mshn) n. An intense mental state that arises subjectively rather than through conscious effort and is often accompanied by physiological changes; a strong feeling Emo is a type of music that is rapidly gaining popularity in the UK, despite being popular in America for some time now.
The NME brought its Carling Awards tour to Leeds on Tuesday night, meaning the city was buzzing with three different types of music lover.
