Album Reviews - Heartbroken by Abbie Lammas Reviewed by Steve Rudd
	A prodigiously talented singer-songwriter, Hornsea's Abbie Lammas might only be fifteen, but she's cranking out songs that are mightily mature for her age. Heartbroken is her debut album, and it's an eight-song-strong affair that perfectly shows off Abbie's talents. For the most part, the songs feature just her and her trusted acoustic guitar, though there are a couple of notable exceptions. Read more...

Album Reviews - Black and White Tango 3 Track Demo By Danielle McLoughlin
	Black and White Tango...a young, fresh out of the packet, extremely talented band, with bags...no, make it bin liners, full of potential. They're most definitely not your stereotypical Indie, Punk, Metal or Emo band. Genres that seem to be all too common and bursting at the seams here in Hull. Black and White Tango have resisted being pigeon holed and have broken the mould by creating their very own unique style, Read more...

Album Reviews - Hayley Hutchinson - Love Songs For The Enemy Reviewed by Steve Rudd
	When she's not playing in The Sorry Kisses, York's Hayley is making sweet music of her own, and this - her second album - will bring fans up to speed with the fruits of her latest spell of songwriting. A glorious ten-track affair, Love Songs For The Enemy is a sublime record in every respect, opening tune All I Have incorporating banjo and harmonica Read more...

Album Reviews - Single Reviews - One Small Step by Satellite State Reviewed by Steve Rudd
	Zipping out of Guildford with their hearts on their sleeves and a bounce in their step, this quintet deserves to hit the big-time on the strength of this three-track single. One Small Step is moodily melodic from the off, an epic indie-pop-rock anthem for the masses. The good news is that Satellite State already have fans in the form of Steve Lamacq Read more...

Album Reviews - Edwina Hayes - Pour Me a Drink By Steve Rudd
	A marked departure from her debut album, Edwina's follow-up to Out On My Own sees her presenting a far more intimate collection of songs. For the most part it's just her and her acoustic guitar. Save for appearances from Carissa Broadwater and guitarist Jake McKeague, guest musicians this time around are few and far between, yet Pour Me A Drink Read more...

Album Reviews - Buck 69 - When She Whispers Your Name By Peter Blewzzman Lauro
	The biography of Buck 69 states that the band is influenced by more than three generations of music. This father and son blues rock band claim to be made up of three members over the age of 45 and five members under the age of 30. And when I looked at the picture, with absolutely no further help, I was able to figure out who the three were and who the five Read more...

Album Reviews - JoKeRz - 3 of a Kind By Rebecca Hilton
	I went to the Sesh at Linnet and Lark just before Xmas to check out a local band that has been creating a lot of buzz lately around Hull and Myspace, the band being JoKeRz. I hadn't seen them before, only heard snippets of their pop/rock on myspace - being impressed with the songs, I decided to check them out - I don't think I was ready Read more...

Album Reviews - James Blunt - All the Lost Souls By Becky Field
	One of the most amazing men in music has released his new album, All the Lost Souls. James Blunt has yet again set his goal posts at a very high standard with a completely remarkable album to follow his first album, Back to Bedlam. His first album had a massive hit of over 12 million sales. Like all popular albums Back to Bedlam did feature an all time single You're Beautiful which Read more...

Album Reviews - The Pockets Silver Tray Sessions By Michelle Dee
	Today I have been blessed with singular psychedelic sounds emanating from Coventry way. The four piece band made up of Daz Ferris on lead vocals and percussion, Andy Ferris on lead guitar Sully on bass and backing vocals and Kirk Savage on drums. This is just a demo right now taken from the Silver Tray sessions so look out Read more...

Album Reviews - CD Reviews - Turkey in the Straw by Glenn Williams and the Ullbillies (Lazyswede Productions) By Jim Soars
	A pleasant collection of both original and traditional country/folk songs, brought to us from the wilds of downtown Hull Glenn Williams is one of the few British artistes that can revive classic country and folk songs and give them a facelift without compromising the music's heritage, and this is shown perfectly on his interpretation of classic songs such as Turkey In The Straw Read more...

Album Reviews - The Jim Muir Slideshow - ...And With the Fading of the Light' (A Tomorrows World Industry) By Nick Quantrill
	Some things are worth waiting for, and for those paying attention it has been a lengthy wait for this album. Having quietly released a string of critically acclaimed EPs, the Jim Muir Slideshow disappeared from public view. Compiling these releases, and aided by some freshening up, the EPs are transformed into a debut full-length release Read more...

Album Reviews - Turkey In The Straw By Glenn Williams And The Ullbillies Reviewed By Pete Smith (The Advertiser UK)
	Maintaining the theme of real country and innovation we move back across the Atlantic to the port of Hull where resides one Glenn Williams the captain of a motley crew called the Ullbillies. Glenn, it appears, is a performer after my own heart. His passion is to revive classic country and to give it a facelift without compromising the Read more...

Album Reviews - White Chalk by PJ Harvey Reviewed By Perry Farrell
	Let's be honest - there are certain kinds of music and certain artists that the happy-clappy masses are never really going to get and, apart from her odd forays into the charts with one or two of her more accessible songs over the years, Polly Jean Harvey falls into this category. Moreover, it's probably fair to say that many of her fans have a greater-than-average Read more...

Album Reviews - Screaming Tarts 4 (17 track compilation) Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	The Screaming Tarts website has gone from strength to strength over the past few years. There's little wonder either, especially when a whole host of exclusive interviews, reviews and blogs are forever being published on there. To be fair, a once-a-week whirlwind tour around the site often makes for far more entertaining reading than the NME. Read more...

Album Reviews - Hodmeister - The Total Fabrication Of The Personification In The Nuance Of the Art Form (4 Track EP) Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Now here's a Yorkshire-based talent to get genuinely excited about. Chris Hoddinott has been involved in the fine art of music-making for some years now, having shown off his guitar-playing prowess as a member of Beverley band 35 Stock. Since the band dissolved, Chris has moved up to Scarborough, where he's now producing a totally different style of music Read more...

Album Reviews 3-D - Future Primitive Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	This extraordinary album release has been a profound family affair from start to finish, with former Spiders From Mars drummer Woody Woodmansey working with his two sons Nick and Danny to produce this amazing album that's full of exhilarating instrumentals, with a multitude of killer drum beats at their heart. It's a bold premise that has been executed Read more...

Album Reviews - Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers Reviewed By Richard Stephenson
	There comes a time in the career of many bands when a dilemma occurs ... how to build on past glories. There may have been a genre defining album, or a style of music and clothing that set the stratosphere ablaze. But once a reputation has been established and career defined, where next? In their 17 year career, the Manics have been the kings of such reinventions. Read more...

Album Reviews - The Me Band Debut Album By Gavin Hopper
	Do you remember a time before high school? Before getting drunk at college and getting off with the ugly one? A time before a mortgage and 2.4 children and a very angry bank manager whose minions would phone you everyday making those debt free adverts on television seem more and more appealing? Perhaps a time before trouble? Read more...

Album Reviews - CD Reviews - Painted Sambas 3 Track Demo By Michael Smith Age 15
	The Painted Sambas are fairly new band who have only just recorded this 3 track demo. Track 1 appears to lack that presence a band should have, in my eyes. This band provides a Pop Indie sound with Folkish vocals which sadly don't work in my eyes. Track 2 however has a better vibe Read more...
