Ali Whitton and the Broke Record Players: A Failed Attempt At Something Worth Saying
What have we got here then? Thoughtful acoustic pop, I'd say, and done to a pretty fair standard - from Whitton's lyrics sung in his quite striking voice with its often pleading tone, through to arrangements well handled by the Broke Record Players.

Even if he is unable to attend - by dint of incarceration, far-flung vacation or other indisposition - the embedded chronological awareness of any Leeds gig-goer will tell him at this juncture (6pm on the first Friday of the month) that he should be nestling within the subterranean catacombs of the Hi-Fi Club.

Considering Bell X1's criminally under-rated record "Music In Mouth" passed under most people's radar a couple of years back, I was more than excited at the prospect of hearing their new offering "Flock".
Played conventionally and this record is total arse. It takes no form, heading off in no particular direction, only succeeding to maintain a sub-quality Stereolab style with female vocals over a lackadaisical synth-dominated backbeat.

The new record from Eighty Six - titled Army of Cats - is out now. The 6-track EP was recorded back in April with Pat Grogan and has been released on the Bombed Out Records label.
This record nearly rules. The Whip, it could be argued, are just another NME-gangbanger, leaning heavily towards the synth-heavy stylings of The Faint, Fischerspooner or even LCD Soundsystem, the indie dancefloors are full of them.
There is a marked progression between this record and the last supreme effort, 'Walking Lonely Streets': not only does the sound quality seem to fare far better, but it is in the musical arrangements and lyrics that the band truly prove their longevity.
It's not often that a pop record is created where each track tells its own cheery tale, but John Southworth has succeed in creating a record that puts a big smile on your face.

Just like the Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk, it seems that Emmet are one of those dance acts that fans of guitar based music are allowed to like.

Mark Ronson is that hip-hop guy who remixed "Just" by Radiohead last year. That song was fucking rad.
It's a bit difficult to review an EP when the record company only send you one track from it, but when it's one track that wears down the play button they may be forgiven.
Daniel Webster: While The Motors Are Humming Below Us
From the very start of the first track on this eleven song record, you realise that Mr. Webster knows his quirky pop music.
The Wedding Present: Take Fountain
Too raw to be a Cinerama record, but then you'd never have got a The Wedding Present record with strings and bongos on it?
The image of silent film star Harold Lloyd hanging from a clock face on the front cover feels significant - Lloyd is captured struggling with the hands of time.
Creature With The Atom Brain: I Am The Golden Gate Bridge

If ever a band sounded like they were a bunch of scruffy no good students who decided to record a few songs during fresher's week then it's Pale Man Made.

Bobby Six Killer: Assume The Position
A debut six-track mini-album from Leeds' latest ska kids, Bobby Six Killer and despite the hazy production it's certainly an addition you should make to your CD collection.
I'm going to start this with a disclaimer - if you've recently enjoyed a seven-minute wildly creative single entitled 'Atlas', you needs to pick up the album by Battles, because I'd feel bad if any confusion in the names - combined with this review - would discourage you from picking up one of the albums of the year (Battles - 'Mirrored').
Thirteen Senses: Thru The Glass
Well, it's a young guitar band on a major label. So let's be grateful. But not for the first time questions have to be asked about what made 'em pick this one for the big push.
Tilly And The Wall: Bottom of Barrels
Sometimes the best ideas appear from the most unconventional of sources. Tilly And The Wall are no exception.

It's always a surprise when something you happen to pick up because of the attraction of the band's name alone, turns out to be rather good.
Mary Anne Hobbs could do herself a favour. We all cringed as she jumped up and down effing and blinding in an embarrassing attempt to look cool.

Still revelling in the acclaim of this year's "Scale" release, Matthew Herbert has treated fans to a second 2006 album (albeit a re-release).
This is the sort of record that it really should be very easy to dismiss as hapless retro-copyism. Ulster rockers The Answer don't so much wear their influences on their sleeve as practically have them branded on to their foreheads.
Sometimes I hate writing reviews. I got into it because I love writing and love music. But sometimes you have to review something that you really don't enjoy and it's horrible because it's no fun slagging off bands that put their heart and soul into their music.
Alec Empire: Intelligence And Sacrifice
Digital Hardcore - how aptly named is this record label? You'll not read a better description of Alec Empire's double-CD album in the remainder of this review so save yourself time, stop reading and get yourself down to your local record shop to purchase a copy...
The Gold Fever: California / Hear My Voice
Oh no it's that dreaded genre, a genre in which a band can be very very good or damn shite! Strangely enough The Gold Fever are neither, they have simple Ramones style guitar riffs mixed with indie melodies and vocals, yes kids, here we have another Indie-punk record, a genre which has confused us all.
Whole Sky Monitor: Bland Bland Bland
There's such an obvious joke opportunity in the title of this record that I'm having to put a lot of effort into actually writing an honest review, instead of falling back on a cheap gag.
This three-track promo CDR is awesome. No really. I didn't understand it at first but once my wife had taken over and proclaimed how much she loved the record after just one listen, I had to work out what it was that I had missed...
solo pop
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Show Your Bones
Oh my god it seems like we've been waiting an eternity for this record but it seems like all this waiting around has been worth it.

The Sunshine Underground complete a very successful year with a NYE show at the Faversham and kick off the New Year with their second single on the City Rockers record label.

More often than not, folk records come with a seasonal mood in mind, though in the case of Paul Marshall and his debut album 'Vultures' we have a record which seems to encapsulate all four seasons - equally as fitting for a frosty February morning as it is for a sun-drenched afternoon in July.

Squarepusher: Hello Everything
A purveyor of experimental music and a bass guitar fanatic, Squarepusher has become one of the world's most respected electronic artists releasing one acclaimed record after another on the mighty Warp Records.
Ash are a strange beast. After the success of their album '1977' back in 1997, they went all a bit mental and released 'Nu Clear Sounds', which was nothing but a disappointing mishmash of ideas, from blazing rock to nu-metal ish scratching and screaming, it was patchy at best.
Leeds-based The Horror have a legacy most UK hardcore acts could only wish for, with ex-members of Leeds seminal hardcore act Voorhees and with a frontman from the mighty Imbalance.
BC Camplight: Blood and Peanut Butter
This record has irritated me for the last few weeks, not because it is bad, quite the opposite in fact.

Story Of The Year: The Black Swan

If Cardboard World carried the sub-title "Made for an American market only" then so many stereotypes on one record could be forgiven.
Apparently Roe Sham Bo have had the luxury of turning down 3 record deals. One listen to their self-released album Serotonin will have you scratching your head and asking "Just who the f*ck were these record companies?" and did they come here in a time machine?
Ok, so it's a given, some bands are live bands that can put on a prolific show, but can't quite cut it when it comes to knuckling down and making a good record , whereas there are some, that are bland on stage, yet can come up with the goods for the listeners.
Mommy & Daddy: Live How You Listen
I read the biog and listened to the CD; I read the biog again and listened again; I re-checked the biog and listened a couple more times; I gave it to a friend - he read the biog and listened, he also re-read the biog and listened again; We both turned to each other and shrugged!

Wild Beasts: Through Dark Night
Ever feel like you're being sold the emperor's cast-offs? That's how I felt listening to this record for the first few times.
To say this is a comedy-metal record, I didn't find anything particularly funny or metal about Naked Flames' new album, okay so there a few bits that made me chuckle and brought a smile to my face but I'm quite miserable as it is so it really wasn't enough to keep my attention throughout.
Canada seems to be producing some great bands of late with many beginning to enjoy worldwide acclaim, perhaps it's time The Dears got a piece of the action?

Diverse plan EP release in November
Diverse have just completed the recording of their Mmmm... good music EP. Recorded at Sponge Studios, the EP consists of four tracks that the band say represents their sound very well - "melodic rock and pop with a catchy chorus and powerful vocals".
Glassjaw: Cosmopolitan Bloodloss
If the abrasive intensity of the verses, when mixed with angular guitars, shout out post hardcore then the catchy Britrock fashioned choruses really should not fit in.
Kaiser Chiefs to release "Oh My God" in Spring 2004...
Kaiser Chiefs have completed the mastering of their debut single - titled Oh My God - which will come out on the Drowned in Sound record label in Spring.
Franz Ferdinand @ Leeds Festival 2003

Decoration: I tried it, I liked it, I loved it
John Peel loves them and he's not the only one! This 3 track follow up to the astonishingly good "Thomas Pink Session" is another warning shot across the bows of the music listening public - whistling past with the words "you will adore us" ringing in the ears of all those who dare get in their way.
As soon as a record like this starts you know it's going to be good. Editors are gradually, with every release, becoming somewhat of a blessing to the UK music scene.

The Nervous Shakedown: Untitled
The White Stripes have a lot to answer for. Not only did they prompt the entire record industry to sign any band with a 'The' in the title, but they also made every label sign up the obligatory dirty blues riffage band.
¡Forward, Russia!: Life Processes
Let's take a leaf out of the Life Processes book and get straight on with this one (it's precisely three seconds before the first of many huge choruses on display here).
My anticipation of this release has been huge. It would be safe to say that of all the releases in 2007, I was looking forward to this one the most.

This long awaited picture disc featuring Hood will be unleashed on July 6th on the Rocket Racer record label.
Wire Happy: Short Cycles From A World Of Bumps And Swirls
'Short Cycles...' is a strange experience, which I must make that clear right now. As Kevin Mottram (aka Wire Happy) kindly points out it was originally intended to be a soundtrack to a game; and I can't decide if that admission was a good one or not pre-listening.
Jim Noir's first single was a quirky piece of pop if ever there was one. His second offering bangs a drum to pretty much the same beat.

Tindersticks: Waiting For The Moon
Tindersticks are one of the UK's most talented, and rather unfortunately, overlooked bands of the past 10 years or so, and 'Waiting For The Moon', their latest LP, should go a long way to help give the band the attention they deserve.
One thing I can never fathom about O Fracas is whether they're creative geniuses, or really rubbish. See, sometimes, all I can infer from the established Leeds four-piece's music is that they've had a load of particularly good ideas, but then decided to sack off rehearsal in favour of taking loads of drugs and piecing the sections together in a manner that seemed perfectly rational at the time.
10,000 Things frontman Sam Riley to star as the late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis...

Underoath: Define the Great Line
It's hard to know where some bands' safety zones start and end. The balance between not pushing hard enough and regurgitating the same old tired lines versus trying too many different things and attempting one giant leap for musickind, is a hard one to define.
indie pop
Seasick Steve and his guitar 'The Three Stringed Trance Wonder' have recently come off the festival circuit and preparing for a UK tour starting this month so Sam Murray rang his Norway home to find out about the man, the music and get a story or two.

Silverlode to release their debut album
Leeds band Silverlode have announced the release their début album on the local Grain Division record label.
A strange record this. There's a sort of lilting rural tune to it, but some almost clumsy chord changes going on underneath and an over-hit acoustic guitar (what is with big stars making expensive Gibsons sound like Yamaha beginner guitars?).
I remember the first time I saw Jon play live - it must be going on three years ago in the Packhorse I think, quite a gangly fellow I thought, bit of a Goth maybe, would he start singing about powder paint and lipstick and have a big moan?

Kram tune to feature on new British film...
Kram feature on new British film called "In A Mans World" by Lee Hutcheon, who handpicked the band along with 7 others.
Statement or stupidity? Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. "One take thru one mic live recording" says the inlay, it may aswell say "Yes we know this sounds sh*te but we're still cheeky enough to ask for a review".
The King Blues: Save The World - Get The Girl
The King Blues have gone from strength to strength after forming in the run down back streets of Hackney almost 3 years ago.
Protest The Hero could have played this oh so simpler. Vocalist ... high pitched wail of a voice would no doubt have suited any number of identikit extremo songs that could have been cobbled together in a matter of minutes.
I got excited because one of my favourite UK hardcore bands is called Montana and they're brilliant. Nope.

Glazed release new EP "For Love Nor Money"...
Glazed have finished recording their brand new single, the For Love Nor Money EP. Recorded in Zool Studios with producer Chris Holland the EP is the second recording Glazed have released this year after the Talk of the Town - Live in Leeds EP.
On first listen I'd have said that this tune wasn't half as exciting as it liked to think it was (or indeed, as a large number of people - all more important than I - seemed to think it was.) Sure, it jangled, it jerked and it leapt, but it still sounded ever so slightly two dimensional.
The Old House to release a single on the Louder Than Bombs label
Wakefield indie-rock four-piece The Old House will release their latest single on the Louder Than Bombs record label.
You've probably already got records in your collection that sound like this one, the thing is, you probably stole those records from your dad.

Late gig cancellations at Royal Park
The Buffseeds have had to cut the number of dates on their current tour by half owing to economies imposed by their record company.

Leeds-based record label Dance To The Radio have announced details of the new single from local hip hop / electro duo Yes Boss - "See It Through" will be available on 12" and Digital Download formats from Monday, 29th January.
It's the big one, folks. It's finally here and it's been given to me. On a first listen, it's like being reminded of watching those live shows from a year or so ago.
Beautiful pianos and tear jerking melodies are the order of the day from Superkings. Based mainly on a skilled Joanna and forlorn vocals their lyrical content is quite simply depressing.
Pulled Apart by Horses to release their debut single
Record label Big Scary Monsters will release the debut single 'Meat Balloon' by Leeds band Pulled Apart by Horses.
...Emo... Damm! I bet myself I could get through this whole review without mentioning that word. Bugger.

Wild Beasts to release a single on Leeds label Bad Sneakers Records
Leeds-based record label Bad Sneakers Records have this week announced the release of their third single.
The Primms: Do You Know The Future?
The bottom line is I'm not a big fan of this record. There's 2 tracks I have by The Primms, one "Do You Know" sounds like muse caught on a slow motion recorder and the other, well that's just "nice".
Squirrel Records announce a massive 27-track CD compilation titled "Nut Boppin' Whoppers!"
Leeds-based record label Squirrel Records have announced the release of a 27-track CD compilation titled "Nut Boppin' Whoppers!" (SQRL13) to hit the shops on Monday, October 31st.
Ske: Life, Death, Happiness & Stuff
OK, this is getting ridiculous... yet another Icelandic band ventures down south for some loving. Ske (which means 'happening' in Icelandic, but 'slut' in Japanese) are a collection of writers and musicians that work in the fields of theatre music, film music and TV ad jingles that decided to make an album of guitar based pop songs.
"Swift will remove your mask, whether dressed in white or dressed in black." they claim. A surreptitious war on Slipknot fans?
Voxtrot, originating from Texas, have a more European indie sound than anything found in their part of the US.
Send More Paramedics re-release and new release details...
In At The Deep End Records are set to release a limited run of Send More Paramedics record The Hallowed And the Heathen.
This is easily in my Top 5 records of the year. It's absolutely amazing. The Take are from Wales, they've put out a couple of singles that are ace and now they have this beast.
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.
The Plight to release a mini album - 'Black Summer' - on 8th October 2007
Leeds band The Plight will release a new mini album, the aptly titled 'Black Summer', through the Visible Noise record label on 8th October 2007.
As apposed to sounding like some raw disco-punk, or nu-indie-disco DFA sound-a-like, this record reminds me most of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5, Afrika Bamabaata and general dodgy 80s 303 led hip hop.
The Invention are a four piece indie/rock band based in Leeds. They have played venues such as Roadhouse & Late Room - Manchester, Joseph's Well & Cockpit - Leeds, Barfly - Sheffield and Dublin Castle & Bull and Gate - London with positive feedback.
Sage Francis: A Healthy Distrust
I feel there's a distinct lack of hip-hop reviewed on this here website and as such feel it my duty to say a few words about this record.
The Wombats: Backfire at the Disco
I like The Wombats perhaps in the same way that I'd find it hard to dislike a real fuzzy wombat. Whilst real wombats have big old claws, The Wombats have big old hooks, and Backfire At The Disco is full of them.
Hallowe'en sees Buzzkill release their long-awaited album
This Hallowe'en sees the eagerly anticipated release of West Yorkshire rockers Buzzkill's album, "Driven By Loss" (In At The Deep End Records), described as "13 tracks of catchy as hell rock'n'roll with bags of attitude".

Farming Incident to release their fifth EP...
Farming Incident will be releasing their 5th EP, In Space, There Is Rock on the Wrath label. Judging by the name of the record, you wouldn't be surprised to find that they've become a space rock band.
Republic of Loose: This Is The Tomb Of The Juice
Sounding pretty similar to one of Josh Homme's myriad of side projects, Republic of Loose are actually closer to jazz/soul or Dr John-esque funk than dirty, scuzzy rock.
By all rights Shatner really ought to be extinct. Given that the Big Brothers who quietly go about the business of corrupting the nation's youth decided to adopt the policies of Pol Pot somewhere around the late 90s, someone ought to have got round to sending Jim Bower & co to the glue factory by now.
The Caves: Polymorphic Light Eruption
The Caves second single release is an altogether rather jolly pleasant affair and is the kind of thing you'd put on the stereo to jump around to in a "Look I'm daft, me" manner to impress your embarrassed long suffering friends.
In their biography, Irish four-piece Wilt claim to be the emo REM, although I see neither as valid comparisons in their latest record "Distortion", which is a roller coaster of Americanised rock highs and lows that fits in well with the current music industry trends.
The Manhattan Love Suicides to release a new single on October 8th
The Manhattan Love Suicides will release a new 7" single on Wednesday 8th October. Released on Leeds-based independent record label Squirrel Records, "Veronica" is another classic track that reminders its listener of The Jesus And Mary Chain "Darklands" era.

The Dirty Soul: Perfection is bad for the soul
Indeed it is... perfection that is, but is the soul in question actually The Dirty Soul themselves? Not perfect but steady and steadfast, standing as they are on a blues and swaggering pub-rock foundation.

This debut album from Washington D.C. four-piece The Apes is a powerful synthesised guerrilla war waged against anyone who will listen.

The Cribs: Another Number / Baby Don't Sweat
The A-side is "Another Number", a gloriously lackadaisical amble down lo-fi lane. This one just prods and teases and you think that any minute it will kick off, guitars a blazing, yet after a couple of minutes it just finishes.
Hey Negrita: Devil in My Shoes
It is a genuine mystery why some bands release singles, particularly when clearly they are so far from the sort of music that the single buying bracket of the public would actually listen too.
