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.
Anyone, now there's a twist of marketing fate you couldn't even have made up. Imagine the puns you can have with a name like that.
Feldspar win 'Local & Unsigned' 2008 competition
Following the success of the 'Local & Unsigned' competition launched by Park Lane College Leeds and Radio Aire in 2006, the competition was this week held for the third year running.
Richard Hawley: Just Like the Rain
Were I an even more cynical individual than I already am, I'd say that the fact that this new countrified release from oft-overlooked former Longpigs guitarist Richard Hawley has been released very close to that Johnny Cash biopic "Walk The Line" coming out at the flicks reeks of more than coincidence.
The Bellrays: Meet The Bellrays
Alan McGee's introduction of The Hives has been nothing less than a marketing success, but if only the same could be said for his recent unveiling of The Bellrays.
The UK music scene is at a crossroads. Without directions there are no clues as to which way it will turn or what is in store around the corner; even the national press are undecided.
Belfast four piece V//Formation haven't just been scouring their computer keyboard for some weird characters that will make their name leap off the page (or annoy reviewers everywhere: see Forward "it's not an 'i' it's an inverted exclamation mark dude" Russia!) Oh no V////////!!!!!formation have also been listening a lot to Placebo, Pixies and JJ72 for it is an ear pleasing blend of the 3 amongst pinches of Interpol and The Walkmen that make up the two songs on this their proper debut.

Jack Afro have signed a deal with Sony's latest indie label 1965 Records with their debut single expected to be released in mid May.
Leeds bands invited to a free music industry networking day on 3rd June
Host Media Centre in Chapeltown will stage a free music industry networking day on Saturday June 3rd.
Listen Ryder and all you other bands, when you send a CD for review - include a biog! Why? because as you have no marketing budget you need to use every opportunity to spread the word about your group that you get.
The Polyphonic Spree: Light and Day
Welcome to the 00's where image and gimmicks are everything and then you can tag some music on if you fancy.
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.
Minotaurs: Anyone Who Had A Heart
Anyone Who Had A Heart is the debut EP from the South Shields based 6-piece, Minotaurs. Available on 12" vinyl only, this is solid collection of four potentially massive pop songs.
Model 13's "California 4 Play EP" has now been placed in music collections in over 1,000 households, due to some clever band marketing, and is blatant melodic-punk in a Blink 182 style.
What happens if you have Chris Martin fronting Athlete (first album) heavily influenced by David Gray and providing a soundtrack for people reading the Guardian whilst supping a Latte in Starbucks.
BC Camplight is one man band Brian Christinzio who has been described as an "American Badly Drawn Boy", a description which should be taken with a healthy pinch of salt and more for its fashionable status than its truth.
MMF and Bright Young Things offer Leeds musicians free music business classes...
MMF Music Management, in association with Leeds City Council's initiative Bright Young Things, is to offer a series of 10 FREE Master Classes exploring and updating the practical realities of the Music Business.
Let's get this straight - despite the marketing blurb that was enclosed with this CD describing We The Faceless as 'new grunge', there's nothing particularly new about them.
Identikit... that's the word that springs to mind. How many shaggy-mopped, skinny, pretty-boy Indie bands playing Libertines inspired ska-skiffle-scratchy-Strokesesque tunes can you possibly need?
The idea behind mentioning Sigur Ros in the first line of their bio, was probably a vague effort on the part of Fell City Girl's PR team to try and draw off the inevitable tide of comparisons heading their way.
Planet Of Women: Waking Up the Neighbourhood
"November spawned a monster" sang Morrissey back in 1991. Fourteen years on and this turn of phrase could be applied to some of the current wave of artists riding on the coat-tails of the glam rock/ cock-rock resurgence instigated by The Darkness.
I'll be honest. If this review stinks and subsequently I get annihilated by you good reader folks for not delving deeper, or trying to understand the songs or yabba yabba feckin' yabba then in this case, on this very occasion, it ain't my damn fault.
Lowlife UK: Barstool Preaching
First and foremost it must be said that this is pure punk. Not modern day American, high pitched vocals, whining about your girlfriend while you're at the mall kind of punk but traditional old school British punk.
Those misguided by huge amounts of airplay and a marketing strategy based around the novelty of their hair and belt size, will tell you that the current kings of the sunny folk-indie scene are The Magic Numbers.
The Pipettes: We Are The Pipettes
It's been two years since The Pipettes appeared on the musical radar and were tipped as being one of the next big things to happen to pop music.
The release of "You are the Quarry" sees Morrissey's 7th solo album proper and a 7 year wait to follow up his last, virtually ignored release "Maladjusted".
The Wedding Present: The Complete Peel Sessions 1986-2004
David Gedge's long running friendship with the late great John Peel is lovingly documented across this 6 CD box-set.
Mountaineers: Motions Of Interplanetary Dust
Mountaineers 'do not aspire to evoke a past we cannot relate to, they do not sound like anyone else...
Was I the only person left in Leeds who hadn't seen Bilge Pump yet? I suspect there might be one or two guitar band members who haven't had the experience.
The Bronx as support. What a show. I last caught these guys on the Kerrang! tour earlier this year, where singer Matt Caughthran had broken his knee, which didn't stop him jumping into the crowd.
The Search Map: Tiny Victories EP
Hearing genuinely talented musicians for the first time is something that I experience very rarely. The Tiny Victories EP by The Search Map gave me one such experience.
With the opening band, Glasgow's My Latest Novel, seemingly bent on provoking irritation, it was beginning to look like it could be a long night.
Live At Leeds 2008 to feature a Demo Doctor and 'Local To Leeds' panel
Music lovers will get the chance to see some of the finest new bands in the country next month following the announcement of the line-up for Live At Leeds 2008, the now annual event that began last year as part of Leeds' 800th year celebrations.
Drive-Thru Records have pretty much ruled the roost over the past few years in terms of launching and marketing successful pop-punk / post-emo acts: Finch, New Found Glory and Something Corporate to name but a few.
Kid iD: Please Tell Your Friends
I like the cut of Mr. Pelleymounter's jib. Firstly, he's got a pretty fantastical last name. Secondly, his sleeve notes include the words, "If you like this music then feel free to copy, rip, burn and pass it on to as many people as you like." This is an important lesson for unsigned bands; just get your music out there.
Panic! At The Disco are without a doubt a breath of fresh air and a much needed kick up the arse to that old 'emo' thing the kids are still frothing over.
Two support bands. Why? Why oh fucking why? Maybe I need clarification, but I thought the whole point of a support band was to warm up the crowd for the main event, not take away all the time from them?
'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?
Guided by Voices: Human Amusement at Hourly Rates
I'd heard Guided By Voices albums are notoriously erratic with songwriter Robert Pollard obviously missing a prominent branch of musicians philosophy best personified by Creedance Clear Water Revivals John Fogerty: "It doesn't make it mo' betta when you add mo' junk".
"100,000,000 Bon Jovi fans can't be wrong" declared the New Jerseyites' career spanning box set. Whilst there is no doubting that Bon Jovi have consistently 'shipped units' for over 20 years and won just about every music award going (along with Jon Bon Jovi's Oscar nomination for his solo work) there's a serious divide over the band's credibilty.
Downfall - those long-serving purveyors of rock speak to Andy Roberts on the hiatus surrounding their latest release, perfectionism and The Music...
The last time I came to the City Varieties was about three years ago to see Sigur Rós. It's good to see the place hasn't changed that much since then, as I'm sitting here waiting for fellow country men (and woman) Múm (pronounced "moom" for anyone unfamiliar with Icelandic).
Lauren Strain caught up with Ali Whitton at Manchester's Dry Bar to look back on a busy 2005 for the songwriter, which included an appearance at Leeds Festival and saw the release of his "Kisses" and "Curses" EPs.
