We found the term t claim in 104 articles.
It's not often bands can claim the hearts of their legendary idols without actually officially releasing anything.
(spunge) @ Leeds Festival 2002
(Spunge) are pretty much one of the biggest UK Ska acts, along with probably Capdown. Today showed that the claim is justified.
This one's been giving me some bother I don't mind telling you, and I'm relieved other reviewers have been so positive about it.
Parva's latest single is three and a half minutes of racy, radio-friendly pop and it is no surprise that it has been picked up for airplay by all the nation's leading stations.
As the daffodils open and the snow seems to have calmed down a bit, Kid iD's 'The Love is Demo' arrives and sets up the summer to come.
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.
Anyone, now there's a twist of marketing fate you couldn't even have made up. Imagine the puns you can have with a name like that.
Electric Street Police: Untitled
For those eagerly anticipating the next Boards of Canada album here's a little something to fill the void.
An extra 5,000 tickets are granted for the Leeds Festival
Mean Fiddler have today announced that the Licensing Panel of Leeds City Council have granted an increase in the capacity of the Leeds Festival site of 5,000 (to 70,000 weekend and single day ticket holders).
Holly Taymar: Less Than Nothing
No no no no, and again no!! "Who is this aimed at?" has to be the question posed. A collection of rather lame jazz show tunes sung by the brat girl who was in stage school and still believes in her mother's own hype.
When a great band come together there are good odds on them coming from Manchester, so it is no surprise that Snowblind, a combination of Leeds' Jane Murphy and Liverpool's Paul Williams, claim a Manchester heritage.
Leafeater are a Bradford 3 piece and have been playing up and down the country for what seems like ages now (5 years to be exact), twice going on tour with Terrorvision in the late 90's, and they are still unsigned.
The Casual Terraces @ Joseph's Well
It's clear from the outset that The Casual Terraces are determined not to be one of those bands quickly lost in the crowd of new talent emerging in Leeds.
Charly Six: Take Your Hands From Me
A thunderous opening drum 'n' feedback assault and a catchy chorus make "Take Your Hands From Me" a brutal Big Brother to the Little Sister of Charly Six's last single.
Pure pop punkers The Needles hail from Aberdeen and yet despite such remote parts they've managed to lay claim to a "Tipped by the NME" tag...
funk rock
...From The Shards Of Comets!: Less Magic, More Mechanics
Post-rock seems to be becoming quite popular these days with bands such as Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Explosions In The Sky beginning to claim plaudits from all over the place.
The Rosie Taylor Project: Black And White Films
It would be easy enough to dismiss 'Black And White Films' after a cursory listen. Boasting a gently plucked guitar line that trundles along for four minutes without really deviating, and lacking anything that could really lay claim to being a 'chorus', it's a tune that can pass you by as lightly and unobtrusively as a gentle breeze.
'Not Ill' begins an eagerly anticipated LP with a decisive drum beat introduction leading to the gloomy realism of lyrics 'England is dead'.
Kiosk: One Day I'm Going To Go STRATOSPHERIC On You And, Chances Are, You'll Thank Me For It
This EP has the bestest title ever. Annoying to type out. Stupidly pretentious. Vastly ambitious. Impressive.
Somehow while living the rock 'n' roll lifestyle Red.Star.Line managed to find the time to whip up a whole album.
The opening bars of the mistitled "Orgasm" are beautifully done. A well controlled and very sweet guitar phrase leads into Anthony Slattery's very good vocal delivery on a big open song.
Sonic Boom Six: The Ruff Guide to Genre Terrorism
First impressions are usually right. When you first meet someone you are supposed to make a decision on whether you like them or not within six seconds.
Saturday night saw the debut for new club night: Fake Hips upstairs at the Library Pub. Having arrived slightly late to see the full set from openers The Electricity In Our Homes, I can't say I regretted my tardiness from what I heard.
Nikoli: Take It & Go / She Asks Me
This two-song single confirms two things. Firstly, there is now no shortage of high-quality song-writing, musically-rich bands in the marketplace.
Monotone: Nothing Lasts Forever
"Nothing Lasts Forever" is the recent demo from three-piece Monotone, who claim their influences include Jeff Buckley, Morrissey and Nick Drake, though I really can't see much of a comparison.
four day Hombre @ Royal Park Cellars
Tonight brought together three great bands for the re-birth of the Panama Nights, now scheduled for every Saturday at the Royal Park Cellars.
This three track demo gives notice of an interestingly slap-happy West Yorkshire band with leanings in a Stephen Malkmus direction.
Detroit Cobras are a ballsy and real 'covers' band with a difference. Operating in various guises since 1994, their repertoire consists of garage-type covers of forgotten Motown, soul and rock'n'roll classics.
As I sit down to write this review I find myself remembering last night at The Cockpit watching a hundred young trendies letting themselves go crazy to tracks on this album such as Hey Scenesters!, Mirror Kissers and The Wrong Way To Be.
It has to be said that on first listen, I struggled to find anything worthwhile on this album. As the follow up to 2004's 'Raw Nerve' debut album my expectations were high, especially after seeing their strong set live.
Cha Cha Cohen: All Artists are Criminals
This is an angry piece of work. Jaqi and Keith Gregory have gone to Australia and do not intend to promote the product.
Sandman Leeds set to launch their music magazine this month...
Sandman Leeds, the new monthly local free music magazine, is launching in Leeds on 30th September. Since September 2002 Sandman has been running in Sheffield covering gigs, news, demos, new releases, specific bands and artists and listings.
In the way Bon Iver's debut album is reaped in the romanticism attached to the isolated log cabin, Leeds folk artist Benjamin Wetherill can claim a similar sense of idealistic beauty in the form of using a derelict 19th century palace on the outskirts of Budapest to record his long-awaited debut album.
Spoonfish. Hmm. Interesting name. It's good. This Keighley four-piece band are definite contenders. They play energetic enthusiastic metal in a classic style (but claim to be NU).
When jumping, dancing and causing general musical mischief in the darkened venues of Leeds city centre, the rare spotted Steve Lamacq is a rare beast to sight indeed.
Various Artists: Screaming Mini / Repomen - split single
It's a great feeling when you pick up a CD knowing nothing about a band, put it on and hear a track that blows you away.
A couple of Sheffield websites have kind things to say about Dangerlust, a band formed last year out of a previously ditched project called Floater.
Guns'n'Roses @ Leeds Festival 2002
August bank holiday weekend rolls around again and this years Leeds festival will rock!!! Anticipation is high after an amazing return for the Glastonbury festival earlier on in the year.
Hillstomp claim to play a brand of North Mississippi trance blues... yep that's what I thought. But surprisingly this is a real musical gem.
It's splendid when a trip down to a nearby pub results in you getting nicely sloshed and seeing a good band.
With the Super Furries' last album out of the way it presumably leaves beardy head honcho Gruff Rhys free to indulge his numerous creative impulses with other people, in this case LA Hip-Hop and Beats maestro Boom-Bip.
Noisy bloody students eh? The Faversham's packed full of them tonight. This is no bad thing though, and as free acoustic gigs go, this is a great opportunity to be heard by and impress a lot of people that wouldn't normally be there.
Bright Young Things - a new showcase of talent - has hit venues across Leeds this past week and I caught up with the Leeds Met.
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.
"Swift will remove your mask, whether dressed in white or dressed in black." they claim. A surreptitious war on Slipknot fans?
Tonight's high profile appearance for US band Sleater-Kinney has moved. Its moved next door after the overwhelming response to the girl-punk rock band has left the Rocket Venue unable to cope - just short of 250 people are packed into the Cockpit for the bands first non-festival appearance in Leeds and the first gig on their Uk tour.
Emanuel: Soundtrack to a Headrush
What a better way to kick start a record than the phrase "Listen up motherf**kers, this is the new unheard of, unspoken, so if you're down, then get down, and if not then get the fuck out".
It's a familiar story. All too familiar for my liking: young band comes all the way to Leeds from afar (Lincoln in this case) with the promise of a headline slot at a decent venue.
Various Artists: Bright Young Things 2007
Fifteen quite individual tracks - and yet there's more than a hint of overall unity to this. Not sameness: far from it, but a feel that it wouldn't be impossible to cook up a narrative thread plotting the journey from minute 1 to minute 59, and so award concept album status as well as whatever other accolades are coming to BYT 2007.
The second instalment of Ryan Adams' 'Love Is Hell' sessions, his original attempt to follow up 'Gold', rejected by the record label for being too depressing and dark, opens with 'My Blue Manhattan'.
Stars Of The Lid @ Holy Trinity Church
What better venue for an evening of ambient music that Holy Trinity Church? Though it may not have the best sound for a concert in Leeds I would doubt anybody's claim for a venue with better ambience.
I eventually got down (taxis eh, only an hour late) to Joseph's Well in time to see Sposh. Rumour has it that before the Sposh set, I'd missed a most excellent opening act called Mahwa.
Dawn Parade @ Royal Park Cellars
Unison take to the stage sporting interesting T-shirts, boy band hair cuts and are apparently very new to the music scene; however, they don't actually show it a great deal.
Parisman @ Woodkirk Valley Country Club
Anyone will tell you that you can't fill a gig in July in Leeds - everyone is on holiday, the students are at home and there are too many festivals.
Having been told that Envelopes would be playing at the Warehouse, turning up there and finding it locked down and empty, I was a little confused.
Signal Generator: Square Wave EP
The "Square Wave" EP from Huddersfeld's Signal Generator (Peter Morttram) is four tracks with (as far my lugs can tell) not a square wave anywhere.
Paranova @ The Old Cock (Halifax)
The Old Cock has recently been celebrating the renewal of is entertainment license, and a decent sized crowd had assembled in what is the town's temple of live music. The support slot was filled by a band new to my ears, a swampy rock outfit named The Roller 6ix.
With their "Heartbeat EP" out now, Nicholas Sell caught up with Wiltshire three piece Blackbud prior to their Club NME gig in Leeds
The Last Three Months Are Blank...? Scott Silverlode Writes....
Good morning, noon or night to all you Loders out there. Through the most undemocratic of processes I have been nominated to supply with your long-over due mouthful of all things Silverlode. It's been a wopping three months since the last news update and you'd probably think there'd be lots to tell you, and well...you'd be right.
GF93: The Bloody Bastard Remixes
I have never heard of GF93, but I've met a lot of bastards in my time. You know the type, the ones who don't have a father.
You may well have read us gush about these bright young protégés of Johnny Marr before on this site. Since seeing them simply pulverise the opposition at the In The City A&R bunfight of 2000, we've been waiting expectantly for this debut platter.
It seems that Alex King, has whittled his circle of trust down to a trio of himself and two backing musicians, and in doing so has created the eponymous collective AKP.
Four Tet @ Brudenell Social Club
After a feeding frenzy to buy tickets back in the heady days of summer, I was expecting a wee bit more excitement amongst the gig-goers for this one.
Motion City Soundtrack: Even If It Kills Me
There's been what some might justifiably call a pop-punk revolution, or revival, in certain circles since the end of the 90s - especially exposed to this are American four or five piece bands, most of which induce huge fissures between the believing faction and the less convinced audience.
May 2001 and two bands melding the chiming, rain-soaked, guitar chords of prime era Madchester, the pounding rhythm section of 'rawk titans' Led Zep and the dance savvy of ADF/Primal scream take to the stage at Joseph's Well.
Modest Mouse: We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Modest Mouse are one of my best discoveries of recent times. They bring together abrasive, left field musical influences and pop inspired melody which turns into something strange, unnerving and beautiful.
Things get loud when Hobo Jungle take to the stage after what was billed as an acoustic night at Mixing Tin.
At the time of discovering that this particular tour was to take place I was convinced that Leeds (and the majority of the other cities involved) wouldn't see a stronger line-up (festivals aside) all year long.
Catylyst are not having a good night. But it's not their fault; a series of cock ups with Chris' guitar and a bad sound due to the P.A man's efforts (or lack of) didn't do this outstanding band any justice.
This double CD is an awesome achievement. It is truly good stuff. By all reckoning, 18 different bands from one part of the country should make a complete pudding of an album.
Excitement is the word that probably best encapsulates the ambience this evening. Legitimately so, as through the room whispers of Two Gallants' frankly astounding show this time last year at Joe's Well are passed around eagerly.
Catylyst @ Woodkirk Valley Country Club
WOODKIRK VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB is turning into one of the most popular venues in Leeds with a mix of local, novice, signed and professional bands playing week in week out.
Whilst only together for three months The Vangos have formed a large fan base after singing at house parties and continuously gigging to gain a wider audience. Charlotte Oxnard goes to meet the band and ask some questions....
Tonight, with James from Duels deputising for Rich (drummer, broken elbow), Leeds four-piece The Hair performed at the Brudenell Social Club supporting Good Shoes. Charlotte Oxnard managed to catch up with them for a few words afterwards...
Erin's Third Incident @ Joseph's Well
Eukanuba (I think that's what they're called) look like your dad playing rock music, squeezed into tight leather trousers (disappointingly I already used the World of Leather comparison in a previous review, but it applies here, too) with too much hair in some cases, and not enough in others, and being festively plump from the seasons celebrations.
Yes! Finally! I'm in the elite crowd where you can claim you've seen a band where the number of band members outweigh crowd members!
Stuffy and The Fuses: Join me or Die!
Stuffy and the Fuses crash in like a lump of hard coal through the window. There's a scary noise, some local damage, and a cold wind rushes in behind.
Charlotte Oxnard speaks to Hull all-girl band Ivy Sins
Backlash alert. You can find substantial evidence claiming Temecula, California's Finch's debut album 'What It Is To Burn' to be one of the finest pieces of post-hardcore/emo ever relayed to disc.
Arctic Monkeys: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
There's that little bit of elitist in me that would just love to shoot this album down right from the off, to rip into it with merciless vigour and launch a tirade about how why it's because of bands like the Arctic Monkeys that music isn't like it used to be.
Vessels @ Brudenell Social Club
The Brudenell has played host to a number of extremely special shows in recent times, and tonight Vessels laid down a pretty good claim as to why this should go down as one of them. The homecoming gig of their UK tour, tonight showcased some of the very best in emerging talent from Leeds, culminating in one of the finest shows Radio One's favourite unsigned band have ever performed.
Charlotte Oxnard caught up with Sheffield singer songerwriter at the Faversham in Leeds
¡Forward, Russia! @ Joseph's Well
The worst kept secret gig in the history of music it may be, but whenever ¡Forward, Russia! are in town, there's no way the crowds aren't going to find a way into the venue in their droves and from the first moment to the last, Joseph's Well is absolutely rammed.
It about time the best band in Leeds came back to claim the unofficial crown from the local indie kids.
The Charlatans @ The Refectory
It's been six years since the Charlatans were on a stage in Leeds (festivals excepted) and there have been several major changes in that time.
British Fiction: Twilight's Lost and Dreaming of Modern Peacocks
On a bar-full of chemically dubious sweetiepops and bilious lagers here stands a single malt of geological integrity and permanent joy.
Black Wire's website promises them to be all about 'smashing your skull open with the kind of nasty punk electronic action that could fuck a corpse back to life'.
Various Artists: Sounds of the Rhubarb Triangle
Whilst the 'Rhubarb Triangle' historically describes that polygonaceae-rich patch of land between Wakefield, Rothwell and Morley, I suspect that this compilation celebrates the musical output of the first-named metropolitan outpost.
In the busy world of the Leeds Music Scene, there's always a few bands who slip quietly into the main arena. iLiKETRAiNS are one of these bands, playing their sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, but always beautiful take on post rock theatrics.
Interview: The Dave Bakewell Plot
Andy Roberts finds out about the Halifax music scene...
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.
From the start, the excitement in the crowd is palpable. Most people normally only turn up after the support bands are finished but tonight, with the anticipation of Kill Hannah almost as high as the anticipation for Aiden, people are already flooding the Cockpit.
Andy Roberts talks with Lyca Sleep prior to their Joseph's Well show...
Andy Roberts reaquaints himself with the punk pidgin-French world of Leeds' very own twisted firestarters: les Flames!
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.
Fall Out Boy @ Millennium Square
In the absence of an arena (or anything bigger than the Uni's Refectory in actuality) it seems Millennium Square has stepped up to the plate to become the pinnacle of Leeds' gigging venue possibilities.
Various Artists: DTTR: Something I Learned Today
After 'What Everyone Wants' comes what everyone really wants - the new long player from Leeds' most vibrant and diverse label of the moment; Dance To The Radio.
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?".
Red Stars Parade: a refreshingly piquant slice dropped into Leeds' musical soft drink
As another long night bleeds into another bright, sunny day, bleary eyed tent dwellers emerge from their probably now a little bit on the stale side canvas abodes to see out the last day of the festival.
Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies @ Leeds Festival 2005
"Hello, we've got a wake-up call for a Mr. Ramsden here. Yes, a bunch of tracksuit wearing oiks are waiting for you on the main stage, they said something about your mother looking for a pianist?".
Part One of a two-part interview with Leeds band Chichino, who are set to release their new single "It Could Happen To You"
