All bets are off. Vancouver Island quartet Hot Hot Heat will be your new favourite band by the end of the year.
The Music: The Truth Is No Words
Taken from their eponymous album, The Truth Is No Words is the latest single release from The Music and includes DVD format, a live recording from their September 2002 appearance at Blank Canvas.
First listen brought up an intriguing where-did-I-hear-that-before feeling. Cue search and trace exercise for missing Dandy Warhols album.
Her Name Is Calla: The Heritage
There is little doubt that the continuous hiatus of Godspeed You! Black Emperor has left many fans disgruntled - times spent freshly observing the dark orchestral beauty of records such as Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven or F#A# Infinity now seem like a long distant memory.
We Start Fires: Caught Redhanded
Mathematics aside this is a valiant effort from this US grrrl-punk scene influenced quartet. Underneath the guitars and quirky 80s' keyboard effects of this album lies a fair dose of pop-punk fused with the daily trials and tribulations of your average young rock and roll girl.
Richard Nixon would be proud. At last, something good with his surname. This 3 track EP from Manchester quartet Tricky Nixon is mighty impressive.
Deathcab for Cutie @ Leeds Festival 2002
The Seattle revival starts early in the Evening Session Tent, but there's not a plaid shirt in sight this time around.
A Silver Mt. Zion: Horses in the Sky
"Horses in the Sky" is the third and most expansive album to date from this collaboration of various artists from the Montreal post-rock scene.
My interest in Alyra was aroused a month or two back after watching them gig at Dr Wu's. Although an exact recollection of the night's events was hindered somewhat by having quaffed several tankards of ale I do seem to remember enjoying the mixture of emo-tinged breakdowns, sweeping post-rock atmospherics and violins - yes, violins - that Alyra proffered forth that night.
A Silent Film: The Projectionist
This is funny. "Multiple matches were found online for this CD. Please choose one." How To Save A Life - The Fray.
Foo Fighters @ Leeds Festival 2002
The best days line up of the whole weekend brings about the problem in deciding which of the many top quality bands to see and which to miss.
Band Profile: Tigers That Talked
Jamie: guitar / vocals Glenna: violin Owain: bass Chris: drums Tigers That Talked are a quartet hailing from assorted corners of the UK and Europe but currently based in Leeds, having gravitated towards the city's current creative renaissance.
Million Dead: Living the Dream
The band with the most un-P.C. moniker of recent years return with an endearing slice of raucous alt-rock riffmanship in promotion of their forthcoming album "Harmony No Harmony".
Cold War Kids: Robbers & Cowards
The much-hyped Cold War Kids must be wondering what they have done to deserve all the attention... Jeff Buckley?
Farming Incident @ The Royal Oak (Halifax)
The monthly "Sneeze" night of live music, free noodles and general debauched shenanigans at Halifax's Royal Oak continues with aplomb, with Wrath records The Farming Incident leading the bill tonight.
AntiProduct @ Brudenell Social Club
If there was one thing that fatally crippled the "nu-Brit-indie" uprising of last year, it was the lack of general excitement and, more to the point, characters about the whole thing.
A Silver Mt. Zion @ Brudenell Social Club
It's sold out tonight at this tiny venue, which comes as a pleasant surprise considering these bands get very little coverage this side off the Atlantic and tonight's gig kicks of with Little Wings.
The Pigeon Detectives @ Leeds Town Hall
The Big Fight; Could two support acts be more different? Round One, Micky P Kerr vs. Air Traffic. Ding Ding Ding.
Clowns. More club and gig night should have clowns. Tonight, The Power Of Omnipotence got some clowns to join the boozed-up throngs.
Tom Napper & Tom Bliss: The Kelping
Not long before the Grove Inn launch of this second Napper and Bliss album, I was startled to hear of someone who didn't care too much for Tom Bliss's voice.
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.
Bilge Pump @ Brudenell Social Club
The Brudenell Social club played host to three bands, all helping to raise funds for the Asian Earthquake Disaster appeal.
A Northern Chorus: Spirit Flags
I know this band. Well, sort of. I remember about a year ago, that someone was posting on the Sigur Rós message board talking about (because he was in) a band called 'A Northern Chorus'.
Sweat drips from every pore; they bleed your life and finances here folks. Here been the cockpit. Atmosphere is sold in bags, buckets even.
Veil Cassini's debut EP proves that the Devon quartet have a hundred and one ideas when it comes to music, and for some reason they try to cram every last one of them into two songs, 'Silhouette' and 'Box & Cox.' Take almost any part of these musical mazes and you'll find enough off-kilter ideas to kit out five more songs.
Sucioperro: Random Acts of Intimacy
Competing for the youth of the nation's musical hearts and minds is no easy task. Sometimes you need a gimmick, a ruse that will make you or your band stand out from the many others who are all after the increasingly short and fickle attention span of the mainstream media and record buying public.
The first band to be showcased were York-based Kanuba, a fresh-faced quartet whose funk-rock billing doesn't really reflect their versatility and ability to cause a stir with some heavy beats and bass lines.
As Ian Curtis is my witness, Editors are good. They may not be the four most effervescent of chaps or the most endearing of performers but if nothing else, Editors prove substance over style should be the way to go any day.
First band up tonight are The Kennedy Soundtrack, a band who I last saw at Breeze 2002, and didn't think were that special.
The 'Well' quickly filled up with sweat, a good turn out. Pat on the back for everyone that turned up, especially the few sporting spiked Mohican's.
Biffy Clyro @ Leeds Festival 2007
Mute Math - The Carling Stage The New Orleans quartet are perhaps only known thus far as recently re-doing the Transformers theme and for their excellent video to "Typical" which has attracted over 1 million views on Youtube.
Blue Sky Project: Fenestrae EP
'Fenestrae' is, quite simply everything one could possibly want from a proper debut, and more. The band lure you in on 'Splitlips' with Joe Wingfield's piano setting a false tone of an EP that's going to give you an easy ride before inescapably This Et Al-like guitars encroach on the sound.
The first band to take to the stage tonight are the local three-piece punk-rock outfit Erin's Third Incident.
65 Days Of Static @ Brudenell Social Club
Aaah the all dayer. The closest thing you get to a mini festival, and with a rather interesting 8 band bill scheduled for the Tasty Fanzine event, the Brudenell Social Club seems to be slowly buzzing with prospect for the bands to come.
Regardless of drawing the short straw and getting the booby prize of first slot in tonight's line up, Movement appear to not give a flying turd that the crowd is thin and they are on before your granny's bed time.
The annual Bright Young Things showcase has been very much like a 'Kinder Surprise' over the last few years - yes you may look back fondly enough, but you'd rather have a 'Fizzy Cola Bottle' (Futuresound competition) or even a 'Flying Saucer' (local band nite at Joseph's Well) because, at the end of the day, while the 'Kinder Egg' promises much, open it up and a crappy toy that you play with for five minutes and then lose down the back of the sofa is all that confronts you.
Leeds' local punk, emo and ska promoters Strikepunks put on a veritable banquet of emo hardcore deliciousness this Friday, as the Cardigan Arms played host to four hot new bands playing the circuit for nothing more than that which is the greatest love of all, that wonderful love of music...
