Live Review: The Cribs, Glass Towers
Sweaty and inspiring – who needs Johnny Marr to have a good time?

Live Review: Caitlin Rose, Jimmy Tait
It was her cover of Jonny Fritz’s Chevy Baretta that suggested she ain’t a sweet little darlin’ – that was endearing in the end, showing she is more than adept at playing both a fool and a fooler.

Live Review: Ed Kuepper
Kuepper proved to be a likeable guy and was generally happy to indulge the audience, playing some choice cuts such as By The Way, Swing For The Crime and Sixteen Days from a career that spans about 40 years and counting, and shows no signs yet of coming to an end.

Live Review: Sticky Fingers, Lyall Maloney, Project Collective Ska
Always a pleasure to watch, this could well have been one of the last times you’ll have got to see a band poised for even bigger and better things.

Album Review: Cass McCombs - Big Wheel And Others
There’s never been a better time to get acquainted with the quietly spoken McCombs than now. known as he is for his poetic, bohemian existence and dark alt-Americana.

Live Review: Parkway Drive, Northlane, Relentless
Rounding out a rather long set and clearly spent, the band finished with Wildeyes and Carrion to an equally munted but rapturous cheer.

Live Review: Bitch Prefect, Housewives, Destiny 300
There is still not much in the way of soaring three-part vocal harmonies but given the setting and location, these guys hold the trophy for making simple trebly guitar riffs and four/four drum beats cool – it’s what we came here for and it’s what we got.

Album Review: Zeahorse - Pools
It’s music that is clearly made for their own pleasure – and fuck the rest if they don’t like it.

Live Review: Cloud Control, Palm Ups, Gang Of Youths
The band also played what has become a fan favourite in Kid Cudi’s Pursuit Of Happiness and, although not totally unpredictable, it was a well-rounded set overall.

Album Review: Wolf And Cub - Heavy Weight
The result is a well measured cup of influences past and present.

Album Review: Cloud Control - Dream Cave
Dream Cave presents Cloud Control on a much grander scale and, even though it’s sad that the four kids we met three years ago have moved on, the people that are before us as grown-ups are something just that little bit better.

Live Review: Splendour In The Grass
Although Frank Ocean’s surprise absence was a shame, young New Zealand songstress Lorde was great late addition and wowed the crowd with her confidence and sleek delivery.
