The Music: You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me EP
"You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me" is the debut release from Leeds' The Music on the Hut label, and, put bluntly, is a blinding tune.

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.

Currently unsigned, this 4-piece from Leeds are already being hailed as the biggest thing since Oasis.
Rose Kemp: A Hand Full of Hurricanes
OK, hands up, how many of you initially thought Rose Kemp was a tongue-in-cheek novelty act based on former Eastenders hard-man Ross Kemp?
'Intense and claustrophobic music from Bradford. Extra proof, as if anyone needed it, of the Leeds/Bradford axis of musical accomplishment. More edge than a very edgy thing.'
Giant Drag: Hearts And Unicorns
There has been quite a lot of recent hype and attention surrounding this two-piece from LA after touring with The Like and The Cribs.
This girl has balls. Big hairy ones. Now I'm not usually a fan of lady-friends with add-ons but in Tigs' case I very much approve.
Having defected from the tedium of eternal teenagers Ash for a full time solo career and having been prompted to do so on the basis of "enthusiasm shown by Ash fans for her writing" it's questionable whether Miss Hatherley is deserving of a solo career all together.
It about time the best band in Leeds came back to claim the unofficial crown from the local indie kids.
Joan As Police Woman: Christobel
New Yorker Joan Wasser is the vocal sensation at the heart of Joan As Police Woman. Although with a mind for equal opportunities other band members are mentioned in the biography, it is her voice you will inevitably come back to.
With their debut release Sky Larkin show the skills and naivety that so far make up their charm. One of Two is slightly too long to be a real radio hit world beater.
The Nervous Shakedown: Untitled
"Heavy Grooves & Fucked Up Blues" proudly proclaims the scrawled biog and ain't that the truth boy! Musically like taking a corner at full whack on a Speedway track, spitting mud over the crowd.
The Kills @ Leeds Festival 2002
The recent media frenzy surrounding hotly tipped, Atlantic-spanning duo The Kills has all but proven that any 21st Century girl-boy combo will be pointlessly likened to The White Stripes, however tentative the links.
The Music: Take The Long Road And Walk It
Avid followers of The Music will be more than a little familiar with the latest offering from Leeds' biggest buzz band of the moment.
While the likes of Oasis, Travis, Stereophonics continue to produce bland, soul destroying excuses for music it has been up to the likes of Blur and Elbow to fly the flag for innovative home grown talent.
The hyperactivity begins outside with some rather fresh-faced Humour fans chanting an assortment of aphorisms, which can be heard a good few streets away.
The Music @ Leeds Festival 2002
It's the hometown dream... their favourite sons headlining the world's largest dual-site festival in front of 2,000 ecstatic music fans and with the news that Take the Long Road and Walk it may be hitting the UK Top Ten in a couple of days the atmosphere is electric.
The sonic boom felt from Pretty Like Drugs is an introduction no one will forget in a long time, as the mix of eerie interludes and full on aural blasts shatters through the atmosphere.
Formerly known as Silence in D Minor on the Free to be me EP, "Violence" always has been a strong song.
Pussy Whipped have cooked up a quadruple helping of shoutyness lady style this evening with about 100 at the Bassment to witness the scenes.
Akaysia Parker: Urban Lullabies (sampler)
Imagine having melted chocolate poured into your ear, while you have you face rubbed with feathers, simultaneously having the back of you head vigorously stroked - is it a nice feeling?
A couple of days prior to the festival, a frightening thought occurred to me. Ash, still reeling from last week's tour bus crash in America, would be unfit to play and that Reef or Toploader were on standby to take their place.
You may recognise the name and remember Amy Studt as a hesitant yet flourishing teenage star. After her debut album sold around 200,000 copies and she gained 3 top twenty singles, she pondered stepping out of the world of music for good.
I am told that Sugarvalve are a 'heavier Foo Fighters' but for the few songs that I hear they sound more like a bad Aerosmith.
A return to the city he calls home, for David Gedge, in his most famous incarnation, this was always going to be an emotional affair and a sweep through a 20 year-old back catalogue proved to be just that.
Richard Nixon would be proud. At last, something good with his surname. This 3 track EP from Manchester quartet Tricky Nixon is mighty impressive.
This second offering from York-based alt-rock outfit Heroic Trio, the follow-up to last year's Driveby EP, is a decidedly mixed affair.
When Refused gave us the musical masterpiece known as "The Shape Of Punk To Come" they showed us how wonderful and amazing the scene could be.
Raw, loud and unrestrained, the latest offering from the boy/girl blues trash outfit is the epitome of nicotine-stained scuzzy rock 'n' roll.
rock electronica
Football and music. Everyone knows the horror stories. The Anfield rap for instance, Del Amitri singing for Scotland, or even that atrocious butchering of 'Come On Eileen' that plagued every radio station and TV channel during Euro 2004.
Saturday night and four bands take to the stage at Leeds' Premier pub/venue location, The Duchess. First up are the duo of Andy Parrott & Rob Karl, who unfortunately I missed.
Stars Of Track & Field: Not Here To Shop
Having spent the last three years in Carlisle (at University) I watched the development of a local band by the name of Stars Of Track & Field.
It's cold, it's Friday night, it's the Royal Park Cellars and it's empty for Herrod's arrival on stage.
Monster Killed By Laser @ Packhorse
At gigs in pubs I usually turn up too late to see the first act, sadly today was not one of those days.
"Don't call me PJ" - Gemma Hinchliffe caught up with Carina Round at Joseph's Well...
A third sold-out Leeds date for the UK's latest finding, The Music, and this time it doesn't take a guest DJ appearance to bring in the crowds.
Various Artists: DTTR Compilation: Out Of The Woods And Trees
Responsible for a roster which contains the likes of The Pigeon Detectives and ˇForward, Russia!, there is no doubt that the mighty Dance To The Radio label has played a major part in the recent explosion of music coming out of Leeds.
The Music have had a phenomenal start to their working lives. Three years on from their origins in Kippax, expectations and circumstances have said "this album has got to be massive." Early gigs at the Duchess of York in January 2000 showed glimpses of their root talents: a searing voice and twitching charismatic in Robert Harvey and a guitar trance demon in Adam Nutter.
Patrick Wolf: The Magic Position
"They send you off to hell in gasoline drawers and say 'Hey, while you're there, could you bring me back a chicken chow mein?'" Not one of mine, sadly, but of the eminently quotable Tom Waits.
Being first on the bill is never an enviable task. This point is emphatically made by the demonstrative display from tonight's headliners Chikinki, replete with the most hyperactive and manic lead this side of Axl Rose and Wayne Coyne's illegitimate love child.
The first time I ever went to the New Roscoe the audience consisted of two men, a dog, and myself. It was like a completely different venue on this occasion, packed out almost to capacity, with a decent sound system and great atmosphere.
I've never seen the Mixing Tin so packed midweek, especially for a Monday night! So it looks as though we are in for a treat with the band line up this evening - or so I thought!
Joan As Police Woman: To Survive
Superbly serene yet gregariously graceful, the second album from Joan Wasser and Co. is a magnificent exercise in chamber-pop intricacy.
The Scaramanga Six @ Packhorse
It's a brave idea by The Bone crew - take the Packhorse, double the venue part, open the bar, let people see one band, then wander to the other stage to see the next 5 mins later.
Various Artists: Bright Young Things 2002
The Bright Young Things CD for 2002 is being distributed by Leeds City Council in April as a free addition to the glossy and widely available Leeds Guide.
Click Here For Review 2 Sometimes a band comes along with a little extra. I had seen this band in Leicester on the Wednesday, its Saturday now and I'm in Leeds for only the third time in my life.
I was excited about this gig. I've enjoyed The Music's debut album and have been looking forward to tonight for sometime - tickets sold out about 4/5 weeks earlier so I was expecting an electric atmosphere inside this rather strange new venue under Leeds train station.
The Duke Spirit @ Joseph's Well
Fact: good image + good stage presence + good songs + lot's of A&R men = getting a good record deal. ...And all this is true about Duels, the first band on tonight, at an absolutely jam-packed Joseph's Well.
