Album Reviews - There are Angels by Rivers By Michelle Dee
	Just seen Rivers (formerly The Rivers) opening this Tuesdays the Sesh at Linnet and Lark in Hull. First thing I notice is that each and every member bears a resemblance to somebody from our own crowd. Lead singer Jack Simpson reminds me of Begbie ex- Dirty Dreamers manager. The bass player, aptly enough, has a definite look Read more...

Single Reviews - Dirty Pretty Things - Bang Bang You're Dead (Vertigo) Release date : April 24th 2006 Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Whenever 'legendary' bands split, fans of such bands tend to fear the worst, and that life will never the same again. When Pete stumbled out of The Libertines fray for good, a great many people mourned such a fact - yet it wasn't long before he returned with his Babyshambles project of greatness that has in due course made Pete something of a household name... although Read more...

Album/EP Reviews - Hey Negrita - The Buzz Above (Fat Fox) Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Blessed with stunning single release Can't Walk Away, that opens this twelve-track album, Hey Negrita return with their eagerly-awaited second album.

Album/EP Reviews - Sandi Thom - Smile ... It Confuses People (Viking Legacy) Release Date: June 5th 2006 Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	If you think that KT Tunstall is an outstanding talent, it's high-time you became better acquainted with Sandi Thom. Whilst KT is a truly incredible singer-songwriter, the Tooting-based Sandi somehow seems to be an even more extraordinary songwriter in a league of her own, armed with a cauldron of top melodies and a voice literally to die for. This debut Read more...

Album Review - In the Head of a Dreamer by Mary (Copenhagen) By Sean
	Picture yourself lying in a field of long grass, it's 1969. You've kicked off your battered boots and your large flowery shirt lies open, as the sun beats down on you from a cloudless sky. You've just been to Woodstock festival, you're a little bit stoned, and lethargy has kicked in. you're ears are ringing a bit, and you're clutching a guitar that you're too exhausted to play.

Single Reviews - Hey Negrita - Can't Walk Away (Fat Fox) Release Date : 24th April 2006 Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Hey guys! Hey gals! Guess who it is? It's Hey Negrita!!! This band might be based in London, but their sweeping Country-cradled rock sound has come via Nashville, Tennessee to a large degree. Indeed, Hey Negrita's brand of Americana revolves around some beautiful melodies and soulfully melancholic vocals from frontman Felix. Can't Walk Away is a chilled-out Read more...

Album/EP Reviews - The Vibrants (4-track EP) Release Date: March 14th 2006 Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Quite why this band remains unsigned is one heck of a mystery. Truth is, this London-lounging quintet is more than living up to its name with the blazing-hot brand of garage-trashing rock 'n' roll that is being produced by The Vibrants. This eponymous EP was recorded at Pete Townsend's Oceanic Studios no less, and The Who is just one band that has inspired Read more...
