Whole Sky Monitor to release their debut album...
Whole Sky Monitor release their debut album - "Just Let Me Talk To Her" - on Monday, February 7th on the local Firebomb Radio Records label.
It's been a funny few years for Incubus. From the dizzy heights of success with the mall-metal of their breakthrough album 'Morning View', to nu-metal's untimely demise and losing their bassist, the good looks of lead singer Brandon Boyd aren't the only thing that draws people to them any more.
Anti-Flag are a 5-piece melodic punk band from Pennsylvania, USA. As their name suggests they are a band with some deep-rooted political ideals.
Rob Leach's three-piece Anechoic do three sweetly melancholic songs with minimal fuss. They are very agreeable, highly listenable tunes with a consistently intelligent feel.
Hailing from the midlands (there's a way to start a review with a sense of foreboding) The Room tie down three decent Indie rock offerings.

Leeds bands to appear at the Limetree Festival 2008 in Ripon
A host of Leeds bands will arrive at the Limetree Farm nature reserve at Grewelthorpe near Ripon in August when they play at the three-day Limetree Festival 2008.
Brickburner: The Future Doesn't Need Us
Brickburner is the experimental electronica project of Brian Younker and Jason LaFay, who after forming in 2003 went about trying to create music which expressed their theories on cultural politics.
If this had been a demo from an unsigned band with slightly rusty production, then this review would be simple - lack of imagination, too much time spent listening to "Definitely Maybe", too much time spent going to the Richard Ashcroft school of stage performing, completely tired lyrics about beginners politics and being hard...
On awaiting 'No Roots' I heard a rumour that it was a political album. This had me slightly worried as I believe music made with a political agenda often sounds awkward, forced, and artificial, although, I admit there are exceptions.
'All killer no filler!' screams this current single from the Liverpudlian quintet and under a foreboding bass line, that's a good thing.
John Parkes: Faithlessnessless
John Parkes is a singer songwriter in the most traditional of senses. One man, his guitar and his occasional harmonica is as much as is needed on this 12 song solo break from Whole Sky Monitor.
A night that promised to include feet shuffling ska-punk, long haired men running in circles and maybe even some politics produced a appropriately large crowd.
Leeds Music Scene asks This Et Al some burning - or at least mildly broiling - questions in the wake of some storming dates in the North and in anticipation of the release of the Figure Eight EP...
Question: How do you solve the problem of getting that difficult 2nd album right? Answer: Release half an album!
10,000 Things are the band you wanted to be in when you were a kid. The Jim'll Fix It chance to play dirty sleazy riffs and wail boisterous, filthy lyrics until your lungs bleed.
Mr Hudson And The Library @ Cockpit
I arrive late, but in time to catch the headline act's full set. The turnout is much better than I expected, the main room is full.
After a two year respite, 3 Colours Red are back with their third album, The Union of Souls. Working with Funeral for a Friend producer Joe Gibb and signed to Mighty Atom I'd be interested to see how this has influenced their sound.
Farming Incident: Please leave the state in the toilet in which you would wish to find it
Farming Incident are by far and away the most challenging horse to ride in the Wrath stables. They share none of the immediacy of there stable mates and with good reason.
Now you know you're in for a good night when the stage is awash with cans of Guinness even before seven downtown LA agro Celt merchants take to the stage.
It's a sub-zero crowd when MIA turns up which is an absolute shame as she drops beats and rhythms more precise than an army precession.
Reverend And The Makers @ Cockpit
There's an air of anticipation amongst the crowd; The Cockpit is sold out and as this is the closest venue to Sheffield of their July tour dates plenty of people have made the trip up the motorway from Sheffield.
acoustic psychedelic alternati
The Alabama 3 train of country blues electro rock rolled into town recently and we caught up with them for a brief chat in their dressing room after their gig at the Cockpit...
The Stills: Logic Will Break Your Heart
Titled for despair at the impossibility of rewriting pop's best ever song, the Stills' CD falls like a shiny stone into a lake of clear cold water to join the decorative thousands of similarly beautiful items.
Tom Russell & Michael Martin @ New Roscoe
Who's Gonna Build Your Wall, boys? Who's gonna mow your lawn? Who's Gonna Cook Your Mexican food, when your Mexican maid is gone?
Eggs in one basket time - quite simply Nightmare Of You are going to be the biggest thing in rock come 2007.
Two support bands. Why? Why oh fucking why? Maybe I need clarification, but I thought the whole point of a support band was to warm up the crowd for the main event, not take away all the time from them?
Justin Myers interviews Felix Rodrigues, the guitarist from rising Swedish band The Sounds
£50 is the price currently being offered for Chichester's newest (and probably only) post rock group's first EP, the epic 'Black Dollar Bills'.
A great concept for a night - no doubt. Let's drag some foreigners kicking and certainly screaming across those windy rain plagued hills separating the land and cram them into Leeds' "most intimate venue" to try and conquer a largely partisan audience, forced to miss the footie and demanding satisfaction.
Yo La Tengo @ West Yorkshire Playhouse
You gotta love the music industry. I arrive at the rather plush West Yorkshire Playhouse excited, yet a little nervous because of all this guest list stuff.
By all rights Shatner really ought to be extinct. Given that the Big Brothers who quietly go about the business of corrupting the nation's youth decided to adopt the policies of Pol Pot somewhere around the late 90s, someone ought to have got round to sending Jim Bower & co to the glue factory by now.
Funeral for a Friend @ The Refectory
Who was Franz Ferdinand? He was an arch-Duke of the Austro Hungarian Empire until 1914 when he was killed by an assassin in Sarajevo.
Andy Roberts reaquaints himself with the punk pidgin-French world of Leeds' very own twisted firestarters: les Flames!
Sometimes Annalee would venture into town to see live music in venues she'd never been to before... Time to reassess?
Victoria Holdsworth talks to Terrorvision's Tony Wright in Sheffield during the band's 2007 tour
No it's not the Onion Cellar, though you'd be excused for referencing that particular venue. However, the grass is, indeed, green(ish), unlike The New Roscoe's shiny brass which is busy reflecting the populating of here, and the faces of solitary guys, with an honest lustre, (that match-making call was a good one).
Upon entering Jesse Malin's dressing room at Sheffield's Club Zero we encounter not only the man himself but also a bowl of jelly babies. This can only be a good thing...
