O.C.D. is Mark Hadley's current electronica/live project. Mark was the leader of CYPH3R when he last did Leeds gigs.
Ed Harcourt: All Of Your Days Will Be Blessed
Pumping organ, with squeaks of the pumps and all, start this first single from new album 'From Every Sphere' and continue to be the main force, pushing the song along.
As another dark day descends upon the Leeds City centre, Dark Olive and The Boolean try to set some light upon this miserable day.
There must be something in the water down in Derby, as Umlaut recorded this three track EP down in the mid(ish)lands.
Anyone interested in the Leeds Music Scene will know that Joseph's Well is a hotbed of talent. What most people don't know is that on the other side of the infamous bar there is talent lurking in nearly every member of staff.
Fifth Goodbye: This Is My Impression EP
Sadly, I cannot remember back to my experimentation with guitar playing so the name of the guitar effects used to open Bandstand escapes me, so for my lack of technical knowledge I do apologise.
With another single from forthcoming album 'The New Fellas' this is The Cribs' latest slice of disjointed guitar pop.
Jackson Palmer: Sun In the fall
The Leeds scene is generally short of Americana bands. But living in West Yorkshire and not the Mid-west of America, is no disadvantage to Jackson Palmer, who manage to sew some darn juicy alt-country seeds in that there Yorkshire soil!
The Answering Machine: Oklahoma
By now we all know how it works: First you get the guitar, then you get the MySpace, then you get the women.
British Sea Power: The Decline of British Sea Power
After leaving a trail of leaves and twigs across venue stages everywhere British Sea Power release their first full length offering on Rough Trade building on the success of several well received EP/singles.
Various Artists: Let There Be... Geek Pie III
This collection from Wakefield's Geek Pie records offers a diverse snapshot of local talent: four very different artists with four very different songs.
This is a good CD. I'm told nothing about the band before I slot the disc in my machine, just a pretty piss poor name and a green CD/r.
Micah P Hinson: Micah P Hinson And The Red Empire Orchestra
With a history that includes painkiller addiction, forged prescriptions, loss of all possessions and a jail sentence you could say this 27 year-old Texan musician shares more than a just a passing musical connection with the late Johnny Cash.
Here we have ten diamond white 80s pop songs with mighty swirls of darker third millennium awareness.
There is a feeling of beginnings about the CD from Bright Young Things selected Quicklime. It's very "home recordings" in presentation (an unlabelled tape) and in it's sound.
The Glitterati: Do you love yourself?
Poptones is steadily building up a healthy roster of artists with a fair range of diversity. From Martin Carr's Brave Captain to Cosmic Rough Riders via The Bellrays.
Oh my God, it's an album - ten tracks titled "Anthology 2000" - ok, I have a few hours, lets have a listen then.
Ryan Spendlove is name to watch. He has a pretty face, a sharp-tongued soulful voice and the kind of snarly delivery that every generation likes to call its own.
Getting around to reviewing the four-track CD from Mozer - not to be mistaken with Mozzer... "We're not a Morrissey tribute band" - has been brought to the fore in the last few days due to dialogue with former Seahorses drummer, Andy Watts.
The Bandits: And They Walked Away (album sampler)
Well, at least I only had to suffer five tracks. If these are the best, God preserve me from the others.
Think early New Order or Joy Division, think Arab Strap, remember the Blue Aeroplanes and take a pinch of Echoboy for the backing tracks and you will be somewhere near the mark for describing Cosmonaut.
Xi are bunkered deep down on the dark side. They're Tommy Vance Jedi, in spangled cowls, trailing phosphorescent axes as if the Heavy Meal Ancestors still strode the Earth.
Pulled Apart by Horses: Meat Balloon
Most of the connotations carried by the name Pulled Apart by Horses likely centre around their [in]famous sweaty and lawless live performances.
Kerouac: I Hope Everything's Alright In Your World
Andy Aitchison and Dan Little are in ambitious territory with this CD. There are the basic shapes of three good songs.
I've got a lot of time for the Cardboard Brothers ... forced screamy voice notwithstanding. They are creating their own sound, and finding a genuinely distinctive corner of pop territory all of their own.
Sonus are a tight guitar based three-piece I have not yet heard before. They seem to feed off each other well, and enjoy being on stage (small as it is at the packhorse).
The Psychedelic Breakfast: s/t
The Pyschedelic Breakfast charge in where most would fear to tread. They have a very rough grasp of the way that some of the Los Angeles/San Franciso musics sounded nearly 40 years ago, and the sleeve displays a fancy dress appreciation of the basic visual elements of hippy chic.
Mumm-Ra: These Things Move in Threes
I tend to be a little wary of bands like Mumm-Ra, who take up instruments with the sole purpose of being in a band to pass the time - something all the members of this group admit to.
Rhode Island: Sunshine Skylark Bridge
Type the words "Rhode Island" into Google and you'll find websites on The Rhode Island Department of Transportation, The Rhode Island School of Design and The Official Web Site of the State of Rhode Island - Your gateway to information about living, working, visiting, and doing business in Rhode Island.
For any regulars on the Leeds music scene, the Cellars has always and will always hold a very special fondness in our hearts.
So how does this work? Out of nowhere, a lo-fi, home recorded CD goes on the stereo after a hard day.
The Beautiful New Born Children: Hey People
Michael Becket - AKA Kptmichigan and member of experimental German electro group Schneider TM's live band - returns to his indie-rock roots fronting new outfit The Beautiful New Born Children.
Things look very bright for the music scene in Leeds at the moment, and tonight is a great testament to that.
Uptight borrow from many sounds mostly from around the 60's/70's period to create a funky mod-rock vibe.
Marc Bolan & T-Rex: 30th Anniversary Singles
When music of the 70s is mentioned the word T-Rex usually follows. This highly influential glam rock band led the glam rock generation invasion and this collection of hits re-released on vinyl with exclusive b-sides shows their prevalence is still with us even after Marc Bolan's tragic passing.
Various Artists: Across The Pennines IV
Another ATP compilation hits the doormat and, with it comes another predictably unpredictable clutch of northern sparkle.
Many People don't like ska. I am one of those people. I just don't get it! I understand the aspect of "fun" in the music, I understand that many local ska bands incorporate as many instruments as possible in order to rectify the lack of musical talent.
Nathaniel Green @ Joseph's Well
This New Years treat sponsored by Bombed Out Records filled the well for a day with 11 rockin bands. Non-stop good music at Leeds/Britain's favourite venue (tests have proved) where the beer flows like, er, wine?
Coming to gigs by yourself is never a lot of fun, but thanks to the army of apathetic student types that I call friends all wimping out, I'm here on my own.
Micah P Hinson: Yard of Blonde Girls
Jeff Buckley drowned in the Wolf River in Tennessee on the eve of recording his sophomore studio album My Sweetheart the Drunk in 1997.
Considering the torrential rain wiping out anything on the streets across Leeds, the Well was surprisingly full.
The Trophy Cabinet: The First Xi
The Colour Blind James Experience, Robyn Hitchcock, Lloyd Cole, New Order, Edwyn Collins, Blue Nile, Yo La Tengo, Sin Ropas, Cosmic Rough Riders, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.
A last-minute change of plan means that I'm reviewing this gig rather than your usual correspondent. And the fact that bus timetables are a rough guide rather than an actual indication of when your bus might arrive mean that by the time I'm inside a packed venue with de-misted spectacles and thawed ears (my, it was cold at that bus stop), Piskie Sits are well into their stride.
Wildhearts @ Scarborough Castle
So this is what I missed Leeds Festival for then. Catching the train out to the coast first thing on a Saturday morning (well, halfway to the coast - due to trouble on the line I end up getting a bus from York) to see the last ever gig by both Wildhearts and Terrorvision, today has the omens of being a good day.
The Tennessee Traincrash @ Cockpit
We've been in the Rocket for an hour and a half so far, patiently waiting while amateur night clears its throat.
Kaiser Chiefs @ Leeds Festival 2006
An overnight deluge and a mixed weather forecast haven't dampened the spirits of the 65,000 festival goers, who return happy, but tired, for another joyous day at Bramham Park.
I've always liked The Primrose as one of Leeds' smaller music venues and I have always managed to catch some good bands there, tonight was no exception.
Bank Holiday Monday and "Lock & Load" bring us four local bands to play the Rocket Venue, fast becoming the best middle sized venue in Leeds, following the closure of the Duchess in March.
The Sunshine Underground: Commercial Breakdown
It's here. It's black. It's got a whopping fluorescent neon logo on it. It's in a real plastic case - y'know, one of those that proper singles are packaged in when you buy them from huge chain retailers called things like 'HMV' and 'Virgin Megastores'.
The regular Tiny Cat nights at the Atrium have been going long enough now for them to be considered part of the Leodensian gigging furniture.
A night that promised to include feet shuffling ska-punk, long haired men running in circles and maybe even some politics produced a appropriately large crowd.
I've always thought band names are important. They can say a lot about the band itself, or its music: like New Order, Spiritualized or Fear Factory.
First onstage tonight are the Bradford-based quintet Seven Hours, who mix a dose of funk into their otherwise straight-ahead rock sound.
Various Artists: Digital Northerner III
If you procure Digital Northerner in the expectation of the latest bleepy electro-pop from the north of England then you're in for something of a shock.
Where Darren Poyzer appears, unusual things happen and people enjoy themselves. Over the weekend of 20-22 August, he even had to forego his own birthday gig back in his Glossop-Manchester-Oldham homeland because he'd been such a success at the 'Arts for Life' Edinburgh Festival that they wanted more.
Various Artists: Shock Rock: Wall Of Sound
New rave. Makes you want to look away doesn't it? New talent being pigeonholed into genre specific straight jackets, and all as a sorry excuse for the latest scene or fad to grow and take hold of our vulnerable teens.
Now I don't know a great deal about Ska, and I'm not overly familiar with punk, therefore I was really looking forward to tonight's gig, as I was sure it would be a bit of an eye opener for me.
ˇForward, Russia! @ Moor Music Festival 2008
The second day of Moor Festival and we are now fully equipped with the mandatory rain and mud. Squelching through mud traps and water logs would seem much less manageable if there wasn't the promise of exciting sets in each corner of the sludge-ridden field.
A pretty quiet start to the evening for a Saturday night in Leeds, and bloody cold too, so I was looking for something to warm my cockles.
I'd never been to basement before as I kind of think of it as out of the way, and not somewhere I really want to walk at night, but I saw the note asking for a reviewer, realized it was going to be an electronica based night and then got told I could get into the club afterwards for free, once I had paid for the gig - SOLD!
Victoria Holdsworth caught up with The Yards' Chris Helme and his guitarist Chris Farrell for a chat to find out if they'd be playing in our yards any time soon.
A hop skip and a jump into the next county and you will find these suave lads, who go by the name Ejectorseat.
In the cavernous grime of the Well, it is forever night time. Forever a luminous green-tinged, stale tobacco-clad dark age.
In a full transcription of the interview that appeared in the May 16 issue of the YEP, Andy Roberts talks to Noble - guitarist from eclectic Bowie-esque soon-to-be superstars British Sea Power about growing up in Leeds and more...
Charlotte Hird caught up with Simple Plan when they supported Bowling for Soup at LMUSU
Part One of a two-part interview with Leeds band Chichino, who are set to release their new single "It Could Happen To You"
