The Rosie Taylor Project: Black And White Films
It would be easy enough to dismiss 'Black And White Films' after a cursory listen. Boasting a gently plucked guitar line that trundles along for four minutes without really deviating, and lacking anything that could really lay claim to being a 'chorus', it's a tune that can pass you by as lightly and unobtrusively as a gentle breeze.

The White Stripes @ Leeds Festival 2002
"What a f***ing great day!" signs off Courtney Taylor-Taylor of The Dandy Warhols as his band sign off, "...er, I think The White Stripes are on in a minute...f***ing awesome!".
Indie / alternative four piece from Wakefield
James Taylor, singer of The Rocks, is in pain. Pain of quite a high degree, it would seem, judging by the flayed vocals which drag themselves gratingly over the most uninspired riff to have emerged in 2004.
LSR looking for local bands...
LSR (Leeds Student Radio) is looking for local bands who would like to have some air time showcasing their material.
The Rocks: Asking For Trouble...
When the vitriolic, guitars-on-amphetamines shocker of 'Eyes Wide Open' blasts you off the face of the planet, you think you're gonna be in for a drooling, acidic treat.

The Durbervilles @ Otley Folk Festival
There are certain bands who have been busy round West Yorkshire for quite a few years, getting better at what they do rather more quickly than they get better known for doing it.
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.
Band Profile: The New Born Kings
acoustic rock
Ok, so Slipknot may be nine idiots who thrash about in boiler suits and "scary" masks. They might have a back catalogue of songs so artistically titled "People = ****" and "Sic" and there might be a thousand people that hate them to one fan, but admit it, you have a soft spot for them don't you?

Bone Box: Death of a Prizefighter
Umm, this is brilliant. This kind of music not being played on Radio 1 is what is wrong with the world.
Motion City Soundtrack @ LMUSU
Through my own ignorance, I had not heard much from these guys, who have been one of the most influential rock bands in the word.
Protectors is a 3 piece guitar rock band from Leeds.
There's a telling moment about two minutes into the opening track on this album when Electric Six's singer Dick Valentine announces, seemingly without any hint of irony, "Mr President, I don't like you/'Cos you don't know how to ROCK!".
GLP annouce a soulful new release from Lara Rose
'Once Beloved,' the new single by Leeds-based Soul Diva Lara Rose will be released on Thursday, 15th February as a Digital Download.
Thirty bands selected for Futuresound 2008 competition - five to play at Leeds Festival
Futuresound 2008 organisers have today revealed the thirty bands that have been selected by the judges to take part in the heat stages of this year's competition.
Delmonica as a band has existed for a couple of years, growing and evolving. In one of their earlier incarnations the musical leaning was towards Detroit punk, New York garage & Motown, but the eclectic musical tastes of the band has resulted in the current line up and sound taking a more refined yet lo-fi twist.
Glissando: With Our Arms Wide Open We March Towards the Burning Sea
Though Glissando is made up of two primary members in Richard Knox and Elly May Irving, this debut album on Gizeh Records features a whole host of contributions from members of other Leeds bands such as iLiKETRAiNS, Held By Hands, The Rosie Taylor Project and Her Name Is Calla.
Tonight is a very unusual night at the cockpit, for the first time ever I have seen tables and chairs set out in room 2.

The Convulsions @ The Junction (Otley)
The Convulsions are a four piece R+B band who add a new dimension to the concept of "high energy". The Junction is a small venue used to more sedate entertainment; perhaps a game of darts while enjoying a nice pint of Timothy Taylor's for instance.
There's something instantly familiar about opening track 'Chloe'. It took me a while to figure out what it was and then it suddenly hit me.
Stateless are: Jimi Sturdy, drums & piano, Chris James, vocals & guitar, and Jon Taylor, ex-Duran Duran, on bass & vocals.
Anticipation for this gig is palpable in the Met bar tonight and even the presently near-empty events room itself is buzzing.
The Landaus look a bit of an odd bunch on stage. There's the Britpop esque bassist, Taylor Hawkins on the drums and two singing guitarists who help bridge the indie to rock gap whilst sounding at times like Caleb Followhill.
With their "Heartbeat EP" out now, Nicholas Sell caught up with Wiltshire three piece Blackbud prior to their Club NME gig in Leeds
Yorkshire bands in the spotlight at MIDEM and SXSW
Huddersfield's award winning social enterprise Timeless Music Project has just returned from France where it has launched the breakthrough new music development initiative 'Independent Sounds Of Yorkshire And The Humber 2008'.
Future Of The Left @ Faversham
A locked Faversham at 10pm, what is going on? Eventually, we get in to wander the empty spaces, waiting for punters and atmosphere to appear.
Sawthroat @ Cross Keys (Morley)
I've seen these guys many a time and this is was definitely Sawthroat at their very best. Probably the best that I have seen them play since their gig at The Cavern in August.
Duncan McFarlane Band @ New Roscoe
Hmm.... the New Roscoe you say? Isn't that where the tribute bands play? Well yes I suppose it is, but periodically they offer a night over to a group of performers who can really write songs and play them without pretending to be someone else.
Duncan McFarlane Band @ Korks (Otley)
What Otley has rightly become used to when the Duncan McFarlane Band plays the Folk Festival there, is a glowingly satisfied home crowd with a similar reaction from visitors who know the band's sound - and amidst all this, many new listeners simply astounded at the quality of Duncan and his musicians.
A thin Thursday night at the Roscoe this time. But that's not the way to describe the performances, even when two of the three names on the bill were replacements, only the energetic The Delamores being an original booking.
Various Artists: Across The Pennines IV
Another ATP compilation hits the doormat and, with it comes another predictably unpredictable clutch of northern sparkle.
Brutal Tinkerbell @ New Roscoe
If ever there was a lesson for new bands to learn then Future Sons Of Rome are it. 1) Your singer should never wear sunglasses unless you are playing on the main stage of a festival or have sold out a well lit arena.
After already being one up on the fact I had seen these girls perform all these tracks live, whilst supporting The Almighty in Sheffield, I was interested to see how well it sounded on more produced level because their set was pretty bloody good.
Over fifty bands to play as part of the Live At Leeds music celebrations this May
To coincide with Leeds celebrating its 800th birthday this year, Leeds City Council and promoters Futuresound have put together a ground-breaking city-wide, three-day music festival over the second May Bank Holiday weekend (25th, 26th and 27th May) with hopes that the event will become an annual event on the music scene's calendar.
The Durbervilles: Alternative Route to All Destinations
The Durbervilles have returned to prominence with their radio show (Sundays 2pm, BBC Leeds) and with the release of their overdue third album Alternative Route To All Destinations - a phrase with meanings zipping about in it like a pinball, scoring points on Alt Country and a few more on Folk Roots, against a colourful background of the band's wanderings since their previous collection three years ago.
Tonight was a much-anticipated event. Visa had been away from the live scene for around 7 months, taking time to build a themselves a studio and record some fine tunes indeed.
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.
To be honest I had never heard of the first two bands that were on the bill this evening, so I went into this completely blind but very open to the prospect of hearing something new and fresh to my ears.
Charity begins at home or so they say. Well I've never really understood what that means but charity was the aim of the nights over Monday and Tuesday this week at Joey's Well.

"Being a promoter is terrifying" - Leeds guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm takes on the promoter-role as he brings his 'Leeds Guitar Night' concept to the Brudenell Social Club on July 6th.
Upon entering Jesse Malin's dressing room at Sheffield's Club Zero we encounter not only the man himself but also a bowl of jelly babies. This can only be a good thing...
