Leeds gig promoters / record label On The Bone have announced the release of their first compilation album, suitably titled "Compilation One", that will hit the shops on 12th February.
The CD from Spring was quite a mixed bag because there were 10 tracks on here. The 1st track, "Not At The Same Time", was a blast from the past because at the start I half expected Mick Jagger to come out dancing!
Scout are summed up in one word. Impressive. Right from the packaging of the CD (which doesn't really count) to the sound of their material, which is likened to the earlier sounds of Blondie.
Manifesto: Approaching The Traps
The CD kicks off with the track "Human Rights" which to be honest is not a very impressive track. The drums are relatively lazy with the fills being out of time, the bass sometimes lags behind the guitar and vocals in the track.
Fine Apple, one of Bradford's unknown bands outside the area, choosing to ply their trade at Rios, bring us a great four-track EP.
When I received this EP from Dave I knew absolutely nothing about Hatch or their music so this is a new experience for me!
Obsessive Compulsive: Crash EP
I was looking forward to listening to this CD, because it had a female vocalist, and I just love listening to bands with female vocalists and this was no exception.
This 4 track EP released on Loog Records centres around "We can never say goodbye" which is taken from the band's recent album "Statues".
Imagine going to a gig and getting given a CD to review. Well that's what happened with this CD by Seven Hours.
Last Night's TV: Better Than That
This CD was a challenge to me as I am not used to reviewing acoustic material but I thought I would give it a go.
Joan As Police Woman: Eternal Flame
Joan 'As Police Woman' Wasser has plenty of experience both in the studio and live by working with such acts as Nick Cave, Anthony and the Johnsons and Elton John.
The Fencott Disaster: Rome and Step On It
Four-track EP from these boys - 4 songs of NY garage influenced post punk, not a bad effort, some of the guitar work is quite interesting with the dual lead thing going on and with the bass rumbling away in the back makes for an ok listen.
Western Suburbs have a very familiar sound and one that can surely only work in their favour, emulating current indie scene darlings such as Lowgold and Grandaddy.
The Weekends make available their ITV Soccer Night tune
The Weekends' track "Tired", which featured on ITV's "Soccer Night" during December, is available from the band's website on their limited-edition 3 track demo CD.
Lowlife UK: That's Just How It is
After the strange voiceover about no becoming a movie/rock star and being lied to (not very punk is it, to 'sell out') the pace is consistent throughout.
Themselves/Hood split 7" to be released on July 6th...
This long awaited picture disc featuring Hood will be unleashed on July 6th on the Rocket Racer record label.

Hope & Social release their debut EP
The first release from Leeds band Hope & Social comes in the form of their 5-track eponymous EP (released on 21st July), followed by an album later in the year.
The first thing I notice about this track is that it has the same name as a great Feeder album track.
The Arteries' music is pretty much as you would expect with such an unpleasant name. The Welsh five-piece's aggressive punk almost verges on metal with its hard, powerful riffs backed by thumping rhythms topped by screeching vocals.
Send More Paramedics complete filming for video to Zombified...
Following their acclaimed 2002 album A Feast For the Fallen, Send More Paramedics have now completed shooting their debut video.
Blah Blah Blah: Death To The Indie Disco
Chirpy cockney new-boys Blah Blah Blah have written a great single with 'Death To The Indie Disco'. The song has a classic Clash funky feel and while it isn't political, it still has a message in mocking the mainstream music scene.
Right from the word go, you can tell that Zealous are a force to be reckoned with. They describe themselves as "Modern rock with a dynamic twist", and yes, the modern rock part of the statement statement is just about true but the "dynamic twist" I'm not too sure about though.
The Pipers: Medicine Cabinet EP
Imagine, if you will, The Spin Doctors meet Pavement with Ray Lamontage as the lead singer. That's what we have here with this fantastic EP from The Pipers.
Nerve Engine release free tracks to promote their forthcoming album...
To promote the imminent release of Nerve Engine's new album "Underneath The Sprawl" the band have released a new track "Fool Me" on their website.
The Scaramanga Six: We Rode The Storm
Sounding like the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster on uppers the band storm their way through the opening track, but sadly it's let down by far too much "oooo yeah" ing which is always a bad sign.
Diawara have completed their debut 4-track EP entitled Snowfall. Along with the title track, the release will include live favourite The World, the piano-led Listen a little and Fast Song.

The Code have orchestrated a passionate and lively track in the form of "Back of the Room". Like a pint of Stella it's instantly likeable, leaving you wanting another taste, and quenches your musical thirst.
Diverse: It's Making Me Crazy EP
Diverse. A word true to fact in this band, as five people from backgrounds ranging from members of senior choir to musical freaks come together and create a musical sound which is so new in today's scene with two vocalists.
Hood to release split 7" with Themselves in New Year...
Hood release their first ever picture disc in the new year on Rocket Racer. There is a brand new Hood track as well as an 'interpretation' of same track by US West Coast skewed hip hop men Themselves.
Coming on like a weird mash up of Franz Ferdinand and The Music (they're gonna hate me for that), The Invention storm out of my speakers and into my brain with the infectious 'Lock The Door', all bouncy beats, crashing guitars and soaring guitar leads.
All My Journeys, the second single from Leeds based artist Irfan Shah under the name Noonakai is a beautiful, trippy and haunting song which I can honestly say left the hairs on my neck stand on end from the first listen.
'I Keep The Faith' is taken from Billy Bragg's latest album 'Mr Love And Justice'. The single is sweet and mellow and does not take any risks.
ODi release a new single on 1st February
The brand new single from ODi, titled "What You Deserve", will be released on 1st February. Available through Littlest Mojo Recordings the track was produced by Karl Odlum (Fionn Regan, The Frames, Gemma Hayes).

Milf are a three-piece Bradford band and have been plying their trade for over 4 years now, since they were 14, and bring us a truly fantastic four-track EP.
Alternative pop has never sounded as good as it does on this 5-track EP from Plastic Fuzz. Taken from the huge 100 track concept that is the album DOTs, this funky piece of indie pop lights up the winter night like one of those new nuclear plants going into meltdown.
Geezers of Nazareth: Gold Rush
Geezers of Nazareth is irrefutably the worst band name I've ever seen. There is nothing clever or witty about this name and anything associated with the word Geezer is inexplicable and makes me want to vomit blood.
Tompkins Square, from what I can gather, are a female vocalist and male guitarist playing to an overproduced backing track comprising of keyboards drums and pianos.
"Stop The Clock" introduces us to Blind Jackson with a whiny little guitar riff that intermittently returns.
The Wave Pictures: Just Like A Drummer
Following on swiftly from the release of their 13 track album "Instant Coffee Baby" The Wave Pictures are releasing a 6 track EP "Just Like a Drummer" that includes 5 new tracks as well as the title track, so they're obviously not short on material.
This five track EP from Glaswegian post rockers Mogwai is a more competent than enthralling release, which is of little surprise when there are no new tracks present.
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.
Futures is the first single to be released from Zero 7's new album "The Garden" which is set to be released in May.
Knowing very little about the band Blowback, the CD went straight on and instantly I was given the (good) impression that the CD was going to kick ass, an American lo-fi sub-pop post-punk and seriously rocking affair, from the guitar intro to the introduction of drums and bass - then the vocals kicked in, the tempo lowered and I thought "Hmmmmm".
Little Big Men: Lord & Lady Muck
A simplistic, but well presented three-track demo package from Little Big Men, this is a CD I've particularly enjoyed listening to over the past few days.
The Voltaires to release a new EP on December 1st
The Voltaires have announced the release of their latest EP, 'Sugar-Filled Chemistry', on Monday 1st December through the This Is Art Recordings label.

Malibu Stacey: Cuatro discos de stomp
The first time I saw Malibu Stacey, I had no idea who they were but was blown away by their professionalism and purist punk rock style.
Loudmouth Soup: Skydiver / Make Some Hay
Celebrating the fact that their track "Skydiver" is currently being used by the TV series "A Bears Tail" may be financially gratifying but the double edged sword is that a track chosen for a comedy show usually has some tell tale traits and not necessarily ones that make right for a single.
Amongst their list of influences Slice cite RHCP and Jurassic 5, and with this in mind they proudly wear their heart on their sleeve; their sound is a confident and expert blend of Funk Rock and Hip-Hop, though thankfully with their own accents not fake American ones.
This formulaic piece of Finnish Scandinavian rock metal offers precious little to tantalise the eardrums.
Duels to release their "Once in the Night" EP in October
Duels have this week announced the release of a new limited edition four-track EP. A specially-packaged companion to The Slow Build EP the new EP - titled "Once in the Night EP" - will feature the title track (from their album The Bright Lights And What I Should Have Learned) along with three brand new songs: "Half Wrong, Half Right", "I, Mosquito" and "Sisters".
There are two songs on their debut single, lead track Factor 8 and additional song Spinning. With all records, there is always a song that you prefer over another.
Yet another indie/ rock four piece are here to stifle our souls. Hooray. This time it's Sleeve, a Sheffield formed band that "live in a dream." There's a bit more to them than the usual Oasis sound-a-likes.
Elliot Minor: Still Figuring Out
Elliot Minor are now firm favourites on the iPods of the teen-Britain. Having supported Fall Out Boy, playing Download, and obviously hailing from Yorkshire, (the latter obviously being the most important) the five-piece are surely set for big things.
Taken from the forthcoming 5-track EP, Take A Holiday is one of Juxtaposition's more accessible songs.
La Russo's "fourletterword" starts with a big surge of rising chords and ringing guitar. The song itself is an open, yearning melody.
I listened to this CD on the strength of a recent storming gig at The Rocket where I was impressed by the combination of the vocalist's swagger and the low slung guitars, two definitely admirable qualities.
Voxtrot: Mothers Sisters Daughters and Wives
Hailing from Austin, Texas, Voxtrot's "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters and Wives" EP is instantly addictive.
Brand New: Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades
Long Island's Brand New are, errm, brand new to me... funny git, bet they get that all the time. No seriously, I haven't listened to their music before - even though this is now the second UK single from their second album release - and it is the remixes and acoustic versions of songs that caught my attention at first.
Leeds-based metallers Nerve Engine have released a video for their track 'Seven Days'. The video was produced, directed, filmed and edited by the band themselves.
The Dance To The Radio stable this week wheeled out their latest offering in the form of Voltage Union, and with such stable-mates as Forward Russia and The Pigeon Detectives I was excited and eager to sample the label's latest release.
Having formed only just over a year and a half, this four piece are already on their second, self produced, EP and have a sound which is far more accomplished than you would expect for their time together, a kind of catchy, technically solid, alternative rock with a feeling of credibility.
Jumpcut describe the opening track of their debut single release as "a pop tune and as such a blatant attempt to crack the Top Ten", but it can safely be assumed that this is tongue-in-cheek optimism from the instrumental three-piece.
Susskind: The April Shower Demo
First of all I was going to blast them on the production here but, no, because it clearly states that it is a demo so I'll forgive Susskind for that.
When listening to a mere four tracks becomes less of a pleasant experience and more of a hard slog the obvious conclusion is that this can never be a good thing.
Richard Nixon would be proud. At last, something good with his surname. This 3 track EP from Manchester quartet Tricky Nixon is mighty impressive.
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.
When I was first given this CD I must say I was intrigued to see if they would live up to the hype. I had heard a lot about the Whiskycats and how they were building a good reputation for themselves in Manchester but hadn't had the chance to listen to them and I wasn't disappointed.
The Heartstrings: Try Fly Blue Sky EP
This self-released three-track EP is one of the most unashamedly pop sounding records released in recent times and the fact that The Heartstrings have so far remained under the radar is a bit of a surprise.
Receiving an EP from a band that lists influences ranging from Radiohead to Jeff Buckley to Nirvana, I had no idea what would greet me when I started listening.
Blue Sky Project: Masquerade EP
I have awaited more tracks from Blue Sky Project since listening to their last EP on MySpace (oh the beauty of the Web!) and thought they had potential, so naturally the next offering from them needed to exceed all expectations.
Immune to release a free download single
Immune release new single "Consume" as a free download only track on October 23rd. The track is taken from the band's highly acclaimed debut album "1/f" and will be available via Immune's official website and their Myspace page.
Having played a string of live events across the Midlands and South through June and July, Broken Dolls release their self-titled début album.
Thai Bride: Non Contact Sports
Judging them on this release Thai Bride are a bloke's band. Not that they play blokes music as such, it's just that they sing about bloke's things.
The Downfall compilation and album recording news...
New track from The Downfall - Centre of Our Tension - will be released on a Positive Impact compilation CD.
The Scaramanga Six: Are you one of the Family?
Save for the first twenty seconds of the opening and title track "Are you one of the Family?" (On their own Trinity Records label), an opening in which The Scaramanga Six have recorded some very strange effects, including explosions, I actually like this track.
One Night Only: Started A Fire
Brian May reforming the original line up of Queen. Britney Spears performing on stage like her ball of a life isn't rolling down into the gutter.
The band that was once Baby Chaos is now Deckard. Like their former self, Deckard have not yet quite been able to really break through and let the world know what they are all about.
Summer must be here even though it's raining outside. Indeed the sun might not be shining but The Lights are.
Authors of Malicious Code: Part 3
Authors of Malicious Code release 'Part Three', the third in a series of five free EPs and it's a rock n roll affair with a slightly darker side.
Id Guinness: Cure For The Common Crush
Id Guinness is a Canadian singer-songwriter who has put together a really interesting album that is heavily influenced by 70's artists like Roxy Music and Pink Floyd.
goad are in lower case. Even on gig listings the band tell me that they begin with a small 'g'. A warning perhaps, so that you don't make any mistakes.
Following their well-received "This Is Future-Wave" EP, Brazil have delivered yet another quality combination of guitar-pop tracks.
Tripped And Falling: Ashes and Ember
Tripped And Falling, who are massive in their homeland of Trinidad And Tobago re-located to London in hopes of making it big over here in 2007.
A five-track interactive CD, featuring a well-produced video and a complete photo gallery, with additional sound clips throughout, is the latest offering from Mr Dogg.
"Is there an album and where can I get it?" These will be the first words out of your mouth after listening to just 30 seconds of "Stay Safe Tonight" by Nikoli.
A trip down to Joseph's Well a while ago saw me coming away with a 5-track demo CD from York/Leeds band Blueryder.
The Riverside Happy: The Beaumont Sessions
Starting like some soppy mid 80s rock ballad, 'It Hurts' the first tack on this two track CD from The Riverside Happy, isn't sounding too good.
I am in two minds with this CD - half of me quite likes it...no let me re-phrase that, half of me doesn't mind it!
The Parnell Deception: Untitled
According to the press release The Parnell Deception are "often described as Tool thrown into a melting pot with Radiohead".
The Music: You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me EP
"You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me" is the debut release from Leeds' The Music on the Hut label, and, put bluntly, is a blinding tune.
King Creosote: Home in a Sentence
Upon uploading this CD to my iTunes library I was bemused to see the track entitled as 'The Track of My Tears' by 'Jimmie's Chicken Shack'.
Leeds bands to feature on Valentine Records' new album...
Manchester's Valentine Records are set to release a full length album, a 10-track compilation of bands on their rosta, and includes a couple of Leeds bands currently hitting the right notes about town.
Farming Incident: What can you do with a pig's head and sheep's brains?
Farming Incident are disturbing. Their three track CD demo is not only titled "What can you do with a pig's head and sheep's brains?", a title to get any decent human being worried about what they are about to encounter, but their opening track Rostov begins with the lyrics "When I was a boy, My father used to give me cigarettes, Then beat me up for smoking, When I was a boy, I used to torture my pets".
The Silent Parade: Undercurrents
The Silent Parade are a Manchester quartet who, by their own admission, take influences from Muse, My Vitriol and The Mars Volta, as well as Manchester compatriots Doves and Oceansize.
Nerve Engine featured on "Ultimate Metal Vol 1" compilation...
Today Ultimate Metal Records have released their 'Ultimate Metal Vol 1' compilation, it is available to buy for £5 from www.ultimatemetal.com.
I will admit on first listening of this CD I was a bit underwhelmed. It sounded a bit too samey, nothing original.
"All songs written by Instant Species, except track 3 - written by some other guy" What the inlay is trying to say is that the third track on this CD is a cover of the well known country theme tune "The Littlest Hobo", rocked up and thrown back at you as a cheeky addition to a well produced CD.
The Culprit formed in mid 2005 from the remnants of dissolved bands. The four piece band has so far released two self produced EPs and with over 17000 plays on their MySpace page, they seem to be doing right.
Worriedaboutsatan to release an EP on Birmingham label Iapetus Recordings
Leeds duo Worriedaboutsatan have revealed that they will release a new four track EP with Birmingham based label Iapetus Recordings later on in the year.
John Paley - Vocals / Bass Mike Paley - Drums Rob Triffett - Guitar Will Grinder - Guitar We originally formed in October 2005 and recorded our first demo in May 2006.
Garon Shark are a young rock'n'roll four-piece from Huddersfield (what is it with that town?) I'm very impressed with their three-track offering, which suggests a band influenced by a variety of rock bands and styles and showcases an ability to write some excellent songs yet leaving enough room for improvement (without it being an insult to say so).
Public Relations Exercise: Maximiser Coordinator
The three track "Maximiser Coordinator" CD from the Leicester-based five-piece alt / experimental / hardcore outfit Public Relations Exercise is either a poorly timed EP release or a taster from their forthcoming album, "Come you are safe we are from the bombs", released through the indie label Field Records and apparently due late February.
After seeing this band live for the first time earlier on in the year, I just had to listen to their EP as soon as it was made just to see if these Bradford psychedelic punk-ish rockers live up to their live performance in the studio.
In recent years, so many Bradford bands have passed through without a mention, by not living up to the hype that has been set by their peers.
Not too sure what to think about this EP really. A 4 piece "Yorkshire-based alternative rock outfit", recorded this on an 8 track in their drummer's garage in true punk rock fashion apparently.
I went to The Vine once in hope to see these guys play but unfortunately when I arrived they had finished and I was treated to this God-awful electro band - but finally I am happy to hear some of Vatican Jet's material.
I've been watching out for Kyte for a while now, ever since hearing their wonderful remix of a Wombats track.
Neville Staple: The Rude Boy Returns
Admittedly, when I told leedsmusicscene I liked ska, I meant ska-punk (aka Capdown-esque, aka more hardcore on the punk, subtle on the ska).
Death In Public: I Really Hate Coldplay
The title might suggest something cheeky and knowing but the reality is a rather humourless affair. Lancaster's Death In Public are dark purveyors of towering inferno guitars and flat vocals but other than the naff production which fights with the mix through out, there is little to remember this 2 track CD by.
According to their press release, the three members of Seed are only 16. Blimey. At such a young age, it's fair to say that they have plenty of potential.
Kram's previous efforts were not well received by Leeds Music Scene. One and half stars and a general roasting from reviewer Richard Garnett.
The opening guitar induces a wince, the shaky drumbeat turns the wince into a grimace and as the vocals come in teeth grind until there's nothing but flesh.
I'll be the first to admit that there are lots of things in my past that I once called accomplishments and yet the very thought of re-visiting them is enough to make me quietly weep.
Fi-Lo Radio: Cracked Bones Cheap Skin
It's a shame that the greatest thing about this single is when the chorus track crashes in on title track "Cracked Bones Cheap Skin" and bassist Jude screams the title at us.
Volcanoes: Fruits of the Fuzz EP
If there's ever a better time to use the term 'don't judge a book by its cover' it has to be now. When I saw the cover of the Volcanoes E.P.
New EP in the works for Blue Sky Project
Blue Sky Project is currently working on its second EP, set for an Autumn 2008 release. In a change from the band's single 'Masquerade' and last year's EP 'Fenestrae', both released through Salt The Wound Records, this new four-track collection is being created and funded entirely by the band itself.
Blue Mantis: Real Life Is Absent
Blue Mantis do muscular, slow rock with a heavy heart. Each song lumbers along like a Motorhead single played at thirty three and a third.
The Nervous Shakedown: They've Come To Save Us
Here's a question for you. What do you get when you cross Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age and the Desert Sessions?
Percy's three-track CD is a promotional collection of tracks released by the band; singles via Mook or Tenfoot Records.
Piskie Sits: What Is The Point?
According to the press release, this two-track CD I hold in my grubby little hands is the Piskie Sits' first proper single.
The Printed Sound: The Announcement / Lips
First thing that comes into mind is The Killers crossing paths with The Kings Of Leon, so nothing overly original here.
The Yards: Forget Your Regrets
Man, The Yards really did draw the short straw when it comes to 'The' bands names didn't they? I can't think of many nouns that are left but 'The Yards'?.
The Horror: First Blood Part II
The word of the day is Incendiary. The mighty Horror return from what seems an age to unleash a fresh strain of succulent thrash hardcore onto an eager public.
A funky four minutes of cool and sophisticated pop that trips along a groove whilst Miss Winehouse flexes her vocal muscles with sass and soul.
This single is available as a limited press of 1,000 copies and features 'Hell Yes', from the new rarities compilation Remains, due out 29 January 2007.
Two things immediately spring out on the three-track demo CD from four-piece "atmospheric rockers" Lunar Camels.
I was really dubious about this album at first, I mean, just how many singing frontman (or woman) bassists do you know?
I like this CD. Very much. Reviewing acoustic bands is not really my strong point, but this CD just shouts out "play me, play me".
International Trust: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is an odd track to say the least. It's a perfectly crafted indie/pop song with radio friendly keyboard hooks and half decent production values.
Finally one of the most eagerly awaited albums is here, but have The Strokes returned with a modern day classic, or will "Room on Fire" leave fans asking 'Is this it?' Hyped for months by the music press, The Strokes' latest offering sounds aurally much like their last album, just with a few more ideas thrown in.
This is a good CD. I'm told nothing about the band before I slot the disc in my machine, just a pretty piss poor name and a green CD/r.
Making notes as I listen to Mojo Pin for the first time I can feel the internal on/off switch clicking at regular intervals.
Fifth Goodbye are a 4-piece metal band from Leeds. At least that's what it says on the box. At first I thought to myself, "another metal band churning out the same old rubbish" but I was mistaken.
Embrace to release "Ashes" on November 15th...
Embrace follow up their top 10 single "Gravity" with a new single scheduled for release on November 15th.
This three track demo gives notice of an interestingly slap-happy West Yorkshire band with leanings in a Stephen Malkmus direction.
The Pattern: Fragile Awareness
What I like about the pattern is that after first listening I couldn't stand them. I listen 3 days later and I can't stop ...
Superelectric: Music For Joyriding
"10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0-Do It!". The 16 second countdown of Go! is complete. Having listened to the Superelectric demo CD (absolutely amazing) and seen the live show a couple of times I could see a different direction on their free CD, Music For Joyriding.
It's a shame that around only thirty people ventured over to the New Roscoe on Wednesday night because it really is a very well laid out venue, good acoustics and has a larger PA than venues such as the Rocket - although it was a little on the quiet side tonight.
Upon the first listen to this EP I would have sworn I was listening to a group of twee American rockers, however these lads are from Essex!
Hub's first EP is a self-titled three-track from the Leeds-based five piece formed in early January 2006.
The Go! Team release another song from their ever imminent forthcoming second album 'Proof Of Youth', and if this second single is anything to judge by, it's going to be one hell of an album.
Listening to the first track provided for me here in neat digital form I marvel at the fact that The Bayonets only formed a few months ago.
White Denim: Shake Shake Shake
Reviewing 'Shake Shake Shake' has allowed me to listen to Texan trio White Denim for the very first time.
This 3 track E.P. from the former Serotonin boys sees the Yorkshire based 5-piece continue with the electronica infused space rock that made a name for themselves under the former title.
As this CD finished, I found myself asking 'oh right, is that it?' You see, Agent Blue are not the most original band in the world.
After 'Everybody's Gone To War', 'Learning To Breathe' and 'Sophia', Nerina Pallot returns this summer with her new single 'Peg'.
A happy version of indie music, or a depressed version of The Wannadies, either way, Kaiser Chiefs impressed.
My attention was alerted to this band when a live review likened them to Big Black and Cop Shoot Cop.
I first saw Aqute Couch live at Joseph's Well, and I must admit right now that I enjoy their 9-track CD even more than I liked their live show.
Herrod: Champion The Cause (sampler)
Emo? Hardcore? I dunno mate, I just listen to the music. Herrod are a very musical bunch. I like their new demo.
The Gift are a three-piece consisting of Sean (bass/vocals), Nathan (guitar) and Jon (drums). This three track CD runs in at just under nine minutes and in attitude and style alone sounds more akin to 1970s punk - perhaps more so than anything that takes that name today.
All My Friends Are Dead: Untitled
Another group to add to the new movement of Leeds-based post-rock outfits, All My Friends Are Dead arrive with a three-track debut demo that, while showcasing a promising musical style, still feels a little unfinished.
The Sunshine Underground: Borders
Borders is the fourth unique single (there have been a few re-releases!) to come from Leeds-based The Sunshine Underground on their indie label City Rockers.
The Accidental: There Were Wolves
This is The Accidental's first album. The collective draws its membership from the bands Tunng, The Memory Band and The Bicycle Thieves and the album was largely written through online collaboration.
Serena-Maneesh provide the latest update in the Scandinavian invasion of British-branded indie. However, unlike fellow countrymen the Knife and Love Is All, Serena-Maneesh are far less experimental and sound far more familiar to British ears.
Del Scott Miller: My Timing Will Win Me Few Friends
After checking out some fantastic unsigned bands, I'm left with this CD on my desk staring up at me, expectant eye, awaiting a review.
Remo are from the growing collection of "alternative" rock bands hailing from the city of Bradford lately.

The Music release their second album, Welcome To The North through Virgin Records on September 20th. Recorded with producer Brendan O'Brien (Stone Temple Pilots, Bob Dylan, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) in Atlanta in the early part of 2004, the 11 track album will be preceded by a single, Freedom Fighters on September 6th.
Metal has arrived people, and it has in the form of Brody. This Leeds based four-piece have, over the last few months, astounded everyone with their live performances.
Sometimes I find an EP that I really want to love. In the past I've heard great things about this four piece indietronic band, based in Lincoln.
I wasn't sure if it was because I'd just seen the picture that came in the CD sleeve that I thought this music sounded really sexy.
Huddersfield's five-piece Hipstream feature the literally amazing vocals of Natalie and Gaff over the top of some equally amazing blues-soul-jazz created by Ski's lead guitar alongside Ian, Reid and Paul.
If Jet didn't exist then "I Believe" would be an all-you-can-eat buffet of rock but instead it's hard not to imagine those talentless wankers churning out their Vodafone song.
Dead At 27: Scatter the Shrapnel
"Scatter the Shrapnel" is the second EP from this Halifax based band and featuring a wah guitar heavy, punked up version of the Grange Hill theme tune, this is a band who aren't as morbid as their name suggests.
Fury of the Headteachers: Farewell Comrade
Fury of the Headteachers' fresh take on punk rock can be heard on their new release, 'Farewell Comrade'.
I was slightly nervy before reviewing this CD; the reason being that I'd heard a number of people comment adversely on it - at first I could see what they meant; but the more I've listened to it the more it has developed.
Mr Shiraz: Sleeping With The Enemy
Dum Dum. Dum Dum. Dum Dum. Dum Dum. The bass drum thumps with moody guitars then the wailing brass kicks in to captivate you rather than provide a tune.
A delicious 5 track EP of diverse, eclectic and electric ambiance from musical visionary Eddie Tadross a.k.a Governortea.
It's true what they say about first impressions, they do. Last that is. I first heard Strike Anywhere during our yearly pilgrimage to Newquay and shit, it was like a smack in the mouth (well I suppose it wasn't like a smack in the mouth as that would be less than pleasant, but you know what I mean).
The Lost 45s UK to release a new EP on November 5th
Leeds band The Lost 45s UK will release a new EP on Monday 5th November. "Experiments In Pop" will be available via the band's website for just £1.49 including P&P.
The Stations: This Globe Can Be Upgraded
With catchy songs, bold lyrics and raw vocals The Stations' second EP stands firmly in the category of "New-wave Indie", (as opposed to "Shoegazeing", 90s-style Indie).
Cardboard Cowboy: The Boxroom Tapes Volume 3
The latest release from Leeds' Cardboard Cowboy is their third slice of self recorded material straight out of the rehearsal room.
Hybrid Kid are a project emanating from fair London town. They quote some pretty impressive influences and are refreshingly for once, are not far of the mark.
Dinosaur Jr: Been There All The Time
There's some grunge characters appearing again recently on these shores; Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, The Melvins, Smashing Pumpkins all playing this year (some last year too).
Graeme Stanton: I'm Not Perfect
Apparently our very own leedsmusicscene has once called Graeme "The next David Gray"... who said that?
The heroes of Live At Leeds have their new single, a song which on first inspection lacks the vivacity that drenched their performance at The Cockpit last month.
Ah the theremin. Not since 'Good Vibrations' have I heard such magnificent use of the instrument. Opening track on this four track EP, and aptly enough the title track, 'Dandelion' thumps along with its array of kitsch 1960s instruments, its sleazy guitar riff and its myriad of churning organs, booming drums and a vocalist that sounds suspiciously like Jason Pierce.
Dogs Die In Hot Cars: Please Describe Yourself
What's this I see before? An album by a band that are currently being over-hyped down at the NME offices, nothing new there.
Def Leppard: Songs From The Sparkle Lounge
For over 25 years Def Leppard have been one of the UK's biggest rock bands, selling over 30 million records worldwide.
The new single from imaginative Kent four-piece, GoodBooks, begins with a mechanical whir that could possibly be the sound of JP Duncan's arcane keyboard being brought to life.
Brent Palmer: Boomerang Shoes EP
Hot on the heels of Jeff Klein we have another export from Austin Texas. Brent Palmer looks a little more clean cut and a little less rock and roll than his neighbour and his image suits his music.
The Strychnine Lounge's debut gig at the Packhorse saw London's GARLIC make the trip up North and my god am I glad.
Mountaineers: Motions Of Interplanetary Dust
Mountaineers 'do not aspire to evoke a past we cannot relate to, they do not sound like anyone else...
"The Diet EP" by Djingo is a well-produced CD mixing equal elements of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Limp Bizkit, although unlike both of those bands they seem to have their tongue placed far more firmly in their cheek.
I'd heard of Shy Child like many others, in conversations where they were name-dropped alongside hot talents like Metronomy and present kings of the realm, Klaxons.
Defining yourself in a saturated market is hard at the best of times, and for many bands that choose punk or grunge the struggle is for acceptance when stereotypically most "piss poor local bands" usually fall into this category.
Neils Children: Always the Same
Wow that's a sick guitar sound! Yet it pounds around my head picking up on each one of my senses. This is a crazy indie-punk number from Neils Children, sounding like The Futureheads mixed with Pistols-esque vocals yet they have their own unique psychedelic feel to the piece.
Joan As Police Woman: Real Life
Fourteen months on from releasing her acclaimed debut record, New Yorker Joan As Police Woman has released the album titled track Real Life.
King Palooka: The Wellington Street EP
I had heard quite a lot about King Palooka from the infamous Leeds Music Scene message board, in terms of musical style.
Shard wail onto my stereo like a fucking alarm bell. Hit me, hit me, hit me! Riffs shooting out of their guitars like bullets from an MK47, vocals that scream down the mic shouting slap me in the face, yes, you, now you bastard!
If you think punk rock never died, but it was just hiding beneath the ultra glossed pin-up kids of today, then Mach Schau are here for you and you alone.
As fans we usually sigh at the news of another reissusing of one of our favourite CDs. Knowing that as a dedicated fan we are going to fork out again for a CD we already own but with one whole extra bonus live track that was recorded in Nigeria in 1987 .
Embrace to record the official England 2006 World Cup song
After much speculation, The FA has today confirmed that chart-toppers Embrace will record the official England World Cup song to be released prior to the World Cup.
Starkitten: Cynic's First Choice
Starkitten serve up a peculiar mixture of straight down the middle Rock / "I know that riff from somewhere" Punk / Ride 'em cowboy Rockabilly and all with a clear Pop sensibility.
Band Profile: The Resplendents
pop soul funk
Greenland: The Prisons Of Language
Slick chase scenes, slow-mo Kung-fu and pivotal movie scenarios flicker through my wandering mind. No, I am not under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs but I am listening to Greenland's 'Prison's of Language' 4 track EP.
The Blueskins complete work on debut EP and release a new single in February...
The Blueskins start the New Year with a new single and an extensive UK tour. The band, who closed 2003 in fine style with a clutch of dates including an uproarious set at the Eat Your Own Ears Christmas Party in Islington, take to the road in the company of 10,000 Things, The Cribs and Fiery Furnaces through the course of January and February.
The Modern Dance: Lovers In The Summertime
You know when you put some demos on you automatically spend ages thinking "ooh that bit sounds like a cross between so and so and so and so" or you can't put your finger on it and you end up muttering things like "oh who the bloody hell used that chord progression, I've heard it somewhere".
This debut album opens up strongly with 'My Declaration', gentle piano and lightly strummed guitar ease us in as Baxter's husky whisper croons away.
Let's look at it simply. "Caravan", Percy's latest release on Mook Records, is a whirlwind blast of a catchy alt rock tune within quick-fire distorted guitars.
This surprisingly appropriately named CD from pop-punk trio Mybe, proved to be rather less than I had hoped for.
After reviewing rock bands for the last few months, it's an unexpected change of direction that sees me listening to this 4 track CD by dance trio Emmet.
Earl: What Are You Waiting For?
Now this one's a hard one, not often do I recieve or listen to dance tunes with a huge amount of interest, but as I put this CD on, I suddenly like dance music!!
The Mingers: Live at Joseph's Well
This live CD sampler of The Mingers' work is instantly marred by the poor sound quality. Recorded straight from the desk at Josephs Well it highlights the struggle many bands have in getting their sound balanced, particularly in a live setting.
BigBlu have a talent for melody. Their music is simple, evocative, tuneful and very radio-friendly. The mood is wistful and yearning.
Situationists: Onwards and Upwards EP
This pleasant enough collection of four tracks gambols earnestly along, but is ever so slightly guilty of failing to engage the listener.
Xi are bunkered deep down on the dark side. They're Tommy Vance Jedi, in spangled cowls, trailing phosphorescent axes as if the Heavy Meal Ancestors still strode the Earth.
Qualia are Leeds University students Gez (vocals and guitar) and Dan (keyboard and backing vocals), who formed a musical partnership just over a year ago and have already attracted substantial record label interest.
Solace's accompanying letter tells me immediately a lot about what I should expect from this CD... I know, I know, never judge a book and all that but I just hope that if this goes to record companies they try some other tactic than scrawled biro.
Playing the two-track Weeve demo CD brings back some memories, mainly images of bands such as Soundgarden, Bush or Pearl Jam vocals/structure but with a typically British indie-guitar style.
The Pigeon Detectives: Wait For Me
The Pigeon Detectives have been waiting to unleash this album on the globe, and rightly so. 'Wait For Me', released on label Dance To The Radio, clearly puts the five-piece on the map as more than just friends of the Kaiser Chiefs.
This CD is bloody amazing! I was given this when we had just played a storming set at Josephs Well. I had the original "Wow Signal" EP from VISA, which I acquired from the Blue Star gig a couple of months ago.
Situationists: This City Holds Us All EP
Formed in their native Sheffield in 2006, Situationists have received much critical acclaim prior to this debut EP, notably from Radio 1's Steve Lamacq and XFM's John Kennedy.
Geekgirl: May Contain Traces Of Boy
From Manchester comes the three piece band Geekgirl. A punk-rock-pop cross breed with numerous riffs and madcap grooves.
The Ga Gas are being heavily tipped to be the next big 'rock and roll' band, following the likes of The Darkness and Velvet Revolver.
Halifax's Jacob give off a real sense of a band with all the right ingredients but just not quite ready to come out of the oven.
four day Hombre: The First Word is the Hardest
Perfect pop. Just what daytime radio should be playing all the time. Three accomplished tracks on one CD with style, passion, ingenuity and wit.
Very rough and raw sounding (we even get a little laugh left in the vocal track) this a Dylan-esque little ditty that's verses are stronger than it's chorus.
Instant Species: She Gives Me Nothing EP
You know those times where you're sure you've seen something before, but don't quite know what it is, and it pisses you off for the rest of the day trying to figure out it out?
A Clean Incision is the official debut release from The Reverse. This North London based band formed in 2000, and have previously released one limited album and appeared on several compilations.
I want Ludwig to appreciate that I am stingy, harsh and critical. If everything were given a 5 Star rating the whole process would be a total waste of time.
On receiving this CD I thought the band must have employed a teenage Goth as their PR as the press release accompanying this album was written in purple capitals.
Sam and Anna hail from the band "Crash Ride", and are the envy of most musicians, being able to play at this standard and still in their teens.
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.
les Flames! announce double 7" single release and UK tour...
les Flames! release a new 7" single through Wrath Records on Monday, 19th May. The single features the track Mutley, 1, From Essex and is b/w Professional Stalker.
Rhode Island: Happy Birthday EP
The first thing I noticed when this CD started playing was that ... it was amazing! I'm not just saying that to avoid being harsh to the band (which I have noticed happens too much), this EP is truly incredible.
The Wave Pictures: Instant Coffee Baby
The Wave Pictures have got a very distinctive sound. Not that they're particularly unconventional, it's just that they're instantly recognisable to anyone who is familiar with their music, which is partly down to Dave Tattersall's idiosyncratic voice.
"Bird's songs occupy similar territory to Dido," say the Daily Telegraph. Oh dear. Thankfully, our favourite right wing broadsheet seem to have missed the point on this one, as Bird (otherwise known as Janie Price)'s latest is thankfully, a really rather beautiful number.
XX Teens: Welcome to Goon Island
I remember first hearing about XX Teens early 2007 when they were still Xerox Teens. Since then I've heard a number of good reports so when I found out that fellow Sheffielder Ross Orton had produced their album "Goon Island" I jumped at the chance to have a listen and review.
I'm intrigued. Track three on this CD is called 'Reykjavik 101', which is a sort of name check of one of my favourite films ever.
Death in Public: Start a Fight
Lancaster's Death in Public's release 'Start a Fight' is an inventive three-track disc. The title track is full of energy and enthusiasm and sets the tone for the rest of disc.
The CD cover is black and the font looks rather gothic so I am not expecting any summery pop as I slip Misled Vision's demo into the tray.
This two track sampler from Silvertin reveals a fondness for a sound that is quickly growing "old fashioned".
The Hightones: The Attic Tapes
Oh yeah baby, bring back that rock and roll! Only - if they could play and sing that would be great, but with out of tune vocals and guitars throughout I must say that from listening to this first track "Till The Night Is Through" I am NOT impressed.
And None Of Them Knew They Were Robots: ANOTKTWR
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.
Chugging bass, airy guitars, respiring vocals and climactic songs at an andante pace, presenting Monomania's recent white label 006 promo.
Think early New Order or Joy Division, think Arab Strap, remember the Blue Aeroplanes and take a pinch of Echoboy for the backing tracks and you will be somewhere near the mark for describing Cosmonaut.
Biffy Clyro: Who's Got A Match
This is the final single from Biffy's fourth album 'Puzzle', and gone are the days where a couple of songs were released in single format.
"Lonely" imbeds itself in my head immediately. Unfortunately it's because it has the worst guitar lick ever.
Mod's back and comes in the capable hands of Leeds sharply cut Uptight. This four track EP is a gem of slicing guitar and nasal growling vocals.
When the press release for this CD stomped its way into my hands promising "two tracks of blistering, balls out rock" I was understandably excited.
Nerve Engine: Underneath The Sprawl
This is the second release from the multi regional band and once again self recorded in keeping with their independent attitude.
"Watch the World Go By" is Serf's new big single. The Americana guitar band sound is fine and dandy. The main song has a big dumb and terrific chorus and the layers of strong guitar are a treat.
Sticking close to the original version by Massive Attack, this cover of the 1998 hit has Faulkner performing impressive percussive moves.
For a while now I've been searching for something fresh and new to add to my heavier collection, but at the same time something that still clings to the roots of the legendary bands that I grew up with - thank god for Dialog.
Sister Morphine: Sister Morphine EP
This four piece, hailing from Bristol, although new on the scene are no fledglings. Currently touring with Kasabian, it is clear to see why there is such a growing interest in this energy fuelled band.
Model 13's "California 4 Play EP" has now been placed in music collections in over 1,000 households, due to some clever band marketing, and is blatant melodic-punk in a Blink 182 style.
Joseph Arthur fails to convince with this tale of poverty and woe, primarily due to the major league production smoothing away any grains of true emotion.
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.
...Emo... Damm! I bet myself I could get through this whole review without mentioning that word. Bugger.
The Leeds music scene gets a ReWrite...
A new collective of producers, DJs, promoters and artists have come together to form the ReWrite project, a new night starting at The Faversham on 3rd November that organisers hope "will rejuvenate the Leeds music scene and bring like-minded people together".
The Conway Story: Even when the wind blows
Whoever wrote these guys' press release must be pretty crap at making references. "Reminiscent of Keane and Coldplay" goes one line, making me fear the worst.
From the depths of Zebra Industries, I'm clouted on the back of the head by a very interesting three track demo CD of side project material.
Coming dead last in the originality race (tied with Jet of course) is Kelly Jones and his now two-man band, Stereophonics.
Having heard a lot of good things about The Ryes it was with great interest I loaded their CD into my iTunes.
So it's a grey Monday morning and a nice lil' parcel arrives at my door, filled with a nice collection of new demos to get my tired juices flowing.
This second offering from York-based alt-rock outfit Heroic Trio, the follow-up to last year's Driveby EP, is a decidedly mixed affair.
What's it like? Well for starters, it's nice to hear something new to the ears, Tarentum are almost like, how can I put it...
Lapdog's second EP comes after their sold out "Now It Can Be Told" debut and has been achieving some recognition for the band since the launch in November.
Oh God here we go again. Haven't we reached our quota of tawdry predictable Coldplay tribute acts yet...
Mr Dogg: Get Out of the Warehouse
This 6 track EP races insanely through Jam popness, Pistols punkness, punk skaness and punk death metalness.
Based in London but with a multi-national line up ranging from Chile to Canada, The Conway Story, named after 17th Century Philosopher Anne Conway, release their third and final single, 'Ghostwriter', before embarking on the recording of their debut album later this year.
The resurgent folk scene has surely found much inspiration in the figure of Adem Ilhan. After all, recent years have seen the London based musician (and Fridge bassist) assemble two stunning contemporary folk records, managing to find an accessible balance between beauty and experimentation on both outings.
Wow. Wow. Wow. I think WhoresWhoresWhores have a convert here. In no time at all the Leeds-based Screamo pioneers bluntly assert themselves to the listener with their trademark slightly off-kilter thrashing guitars and unrelentingly abusive vocals; and this is no bad thing.
Gold Chains: Young Miss America
'Post Punk', 'Avant-garde Rap', 'Punk - Hop', these are just a few of the descriptions given to Gold Chains musical style.
Like many of today's music buying public I'm too young to remember The Jam as they were but like so many others I have a few of the albums in my collection and I can hum the classics.
Six By Seven's story has always been one of numbers. In 2002, two long-standing members fell by the way leaving them as a bassless trio.
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.
Pure Reason Revolution: The Bright Ambassadors of Morning
Sounding like the first half of someone's album, Pure Reason Revolution have quite an ambitious single here.
The first 29 seconds of this 6 track EP from US newbies Revelation Theory sounds pretty damn good. Consisting of hard, dirty drop D riffage and that unmistakably 'fat' American drum sound.
