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.

Band Profile: Mechanical Owl

Snowdonia E.P available now from www.myspace.com/mechanicalowl

Pete Briley: Roads To Rome

On the first listen, Pete Briley resembles this island's most hated solo artist - James Blunt. I didn't think this was a good sign, but I gave it a shot.

School Of Language: Sea From Shore

You'll first realise that this album has got under your skin when you're getting funny looks in the check-out queue in Morrison's, as you've been intoning Uh-Ah-Um-Ee-Ah vowel sounds to yourself like some weird Buddhist chant.

The Moor Music Festival (19-21st August, Ilkley Moor) have announced further additions to their line up.

Alec Empire @ Leeds Festival 2002

From the Atari Teenage Riot ashes came Alec Empire's solo project: an electro-metallers dream; digital hardcore to the techno masses; just plain loud and scary to the uninitiated dope heads sprawled out on a massive festival field in the north of England; and a sound engineer's nightmare.

Adem: These Are Your Friends

Cult chilled outfit Fridge have spawned yet another success with another 3rd of their ranks following in the footsteps of Four Tet and producing a damn fine solo project.

Bird: The Insides

During the winter months most birds fly off to places with a warmer climate but not the UK's very own Bird who has recently spent the last year in the freezing cold country of Iceland.

The Ben Siddall Band: High On You EP

Ben Siddall's music is smoothly well made. It's the kind of non-committed generalised hobbyist pop that can only really exist on demo CDs.

Astrid Williamson: Astrid

Came across Astrid on the Roadworks Tour when she was one of the supports for Adam Masterson along with Bodixa.

Remo: Let It Go

Remo are from the growing collection of "alternative" rock bands hailing from the city of Bradford lately.

Alec Empire: The Golden Foretaste of Heaven

Starting your own record label with an advance bestowed on you by another record label could either be a great example of "sticking it to the man", or being a supremely selfish narcissistic tit depending on your viewpoint.

The Lodger: Untitled

When Ben (the tunesmith for The Lodger) released his first three-track demo as a solo project, it showed that his taste and song writing were spot on.

The Belles: Never Said Anything

déjŕ vu : n. 1. (Psych) illusory feeling of having already experienced a present situation. 2. Something tediously familiar.

The Reindeer Section: Son Of Evil Reindeer

The Reindeer Section have a good story, and you can find plenty of well researched articles and reviews in the professional press now that Album number 2 on Bright Star Recordings is out.

Calling Leeds musicians: Bright Young Things 2007 applications now accepted.

Leeds' hottest new bands and musicians are again being given the opportunity to shine in the annual Bright Young Things project.

Bracken @ Packhorse

It's usually the way that those who are the most lacking in self-confidence are usually the more talented with the least to worry about - take it as a good omen, then, that all of tonight's acts are surprisingly self-deprecating.

Visa @ Fenton

Quite an eventful Saturday evening in the end. Firstly, I chatted away to Aeon prior to the Juno-2 gig at Royal Park Cellars - the interview should appear on the site in the next week or so - and then I bumped into Bella.

Captain Wilberforce: Everyone Loves A Villain

This release is quite a confusing listen. The explosive, fuzzy power-pop 'gems' of Captain Wilberforce's previous releases set the tone, with a thoroughly tolerable, bubbly aim to please.

Medium 21: Killings from the Dial

It just gets tougher doesn't it? An album that would have been shockingly good three years ago is merely good at today's prices.

Calling all young musicians! Bright Young Things 2008 announced.

Are you the next big thing to hit the charts? Think you could follow in the footsteps of Corinne Bailey Rae or The Music?

The Yards: The Devil Is Alive And Well And In DC

Years of songwriting isolation and hidden solo outings at North Yorkshire's famous rock recluse Blakey Ridge have done wonders for ex-Seahorse frontman Chris Helme.

Billy No Mates @ Primrose

Hot news! The Fat Cats have invented Punk Swing. No, really. And it's dead good. This five-piece (bass, drums, guitar, keyboards, saxophone) are a genre-hopping delight.

Interview: Minus

Guitarist with Icelandic rockers Mínus (pronounced "Meenush") Frosti, has an informal chat with Gavin Miller about touring, singing songs in English and why Iceland is the hip place to be nowadays...

Lightspeed Champion @ St George's Hall (Bradford)

BD1 Live seem incapable of putting a foot wrong. This conglomeration of some of Bradford's busiest and brightest promoters and general musos has consistently bashed out successful night after successful night, and there's no uncertainty over what exactly to expect.

Efterklang @ Brudenell Social Club

It's an absolute truth that gigs vary wildly in quality and, even at heights where every single punter comes away completely astonished, it's more than extremely rare to have headliners and supports that live up to and even exceed expectations.

Interview: Stafrćnn Hákon

Gavin Miller talks wih Stafrćnn Hákon prior to the forthcoming tour of the UK, which includes a Leeds show on 19th Sepember...

Interview: Ricky Warwick

Ricky Warwick was, and still is, the formidable front man for one of the heaviest rock acts the UK has ever seen. Victoria Holdsworth asks the questions...

Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip @ Leeds Festival 2008

Saturday kicked off at the main stage again. I was going to go see Fran Rodgers but having walked around for a day in wellies a size too small for me, I wanted to do as little walking as possible really.

Cansei de Ser Sexy @ Leeds Festival 2008

Turning up on Friday morning, swapping my piece of paper for my press pass, pitching my tent in guest camping and making my way to the arena, I was really pleased I'd been able to come to Leeds this year.

Badly Drawn Boy: Have You Fed the Fish

Badly Drawn Boy's "Have You Fed the Fish" (AKA All Possibilities) is a recording project devoted to two questions: "who is Damon Gough?", and "how can he survive as an aspiring artist in 2002?".
