More press bollocks comes armed with Grand Volume, this time literally. 'History' is not the "blistering prog-punk masterpiece" that we are led to believe.
Kashmir: Selection of 2 Lilies
Having gone platinum with their last two albums in Denmark, Kashmir now show us what all the Danes have been getting all excited about with their UK debut in the form of a 4 track EP.

Dan Glendining is a song writer and musician whose previous band Headswim made a little progress into the national consciousness during the 90s.

This is the honest truth: I just got off the phone to a friend of mine and when I mentioned that I had been to the student union Battle of the Bands, she said "Oh, and did the winner of the event happen to be a metal type band who did some well known covers?" The formula is that obvious then.
Its been four years now since The Dandy Warhols hit the Uk scene with their classic track "Every Day Should be a Holiday", which followed their self-titled album released in 1995.

Dear LMS, I am writing to you to divulge the contents of my listening discomforts, circa the morning of October the 7th, 2005.

What do you do when none of your mates will go to a gig with you? When Jon Gomm is on the bill, you go on your own!
Tonight is a very unusual night at the cockpit, for the first time ever I have seen tables and chairs set out in room 2.
It's 8pm and the Cockpit pit is already absolutely rammed. That's saying quite a lot considering there are only 2 bands on tonight, Idiot Pilot and The Seal Cub Clubbing Club.

Live music seems to be undergoing some kind of renaissance in Leeds at the moment, with several new venues popping up here and there.
I saw D-Rail once before at the Rocket and thought they had a lot of potential, even if they hadn't realised it at that time.
