Having deleted all-conquering debut single 'Crazy' after a mere nine weeks at number one, Messers Mouse and Green, poised as they were on the brink of a Bryan Adams/Wet Wet Wet-style public hanging, surely now deserve an honorary knighthood or a Buckingham Palace garden party invite at the very least.

Hello. I never really thought I'd be reviewing a song which could have easily walked last week's Eurovision song contest.

Mariko @ Rocket

Quality. Mariko made a welcome return back to Leeds' Rocket Venue and produced a performance worthy of their recent press exposure.

The Darkness: One Way Ticket To Hell And Back

Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like this record. Like most rock fans wanting a break from the whole "distorted guitars and vocals which sound like the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street" schtick of yer Slipknots and Papa Roaches in 2003, I thought The Darkness were a breath of fresh air - a group with their eyes shamelessly set on selling out Wembley five nights in a row rather than just staring at their feet and being happy to be anchored to the toilet circuit.

This wet Sunday evening starts off with Kram, a Leeds-based trio whose name I've heard pop up in every second conversation this week.

Sheffield over the past year has lost out on four tradesmen but gained yet another new name to add to their increasing list of bands that are discharging out of the city and becoming national, if not global names.

I don't write reviews. I've rarely felt moved enough to bother taking the time to do it, and I categorically do not do pannings.

Monday nights are always strange nights for gigs. It's kind of like an extension of the weekend, but with the knowledge that it's Tuesday the next day and still a full week of work ahead.

Jeremy Smoking Jacket @ Packhorse

Two Bristol artists and Leeds' 7 Hertz made their way over to the tiny packed out room above the bar at the Packhorse for a night of fantastic experimental music.

Interview: Catylyst

Andy Roberts catches up with Catylyst prior to their Joseph's Well gig special...

Interview: The Glitterati

Victoria Holdsworth talks to The Glitterati as they make a welcome return to their hometown.
