Kings Of Leon
Aha Shake Heartbreak
(Hand Me Down)
29 Nov 2004

This is the sound of four young men wringing every last sweaty riff from the rock ‘n’ roll dream and loving almost every minute of it.


Josh Ritter
The Historical Conquests Of...
(Independent Records)
29 Aug 2007

To be fair to Ritter, he’s played the hand he’s been dealt with bravado and good grace.


KT Tunstall
Drastic Fantastic
(Relentless)
28 Aug 2007

Fife's finest songwriter returns with a sophomore disc that's neither drastic nor fantastic, but is nonetheless rather good.


Alabama 3
M.O.R.
(One Little Indian)
28 Aug 2007

They're incendiary live - but can the Brixton-based ensemble bring that fire to the studio?


Richard Hawley
Lady's Bridge
(Mute)
27 Aug 2007

If Cole’s Corner was a monochrome Saturday afternoon matinee, Lady’s Bridge, is a Technicolor Friday night feature.


The Go! Team
Proof Of Youth
(Memphis Industries)
24 Aug 2007

Maybe I've become too familiar with what they’re trying to achieve – but right now there’s nothing here to make me instantly love this record.


Rilo Kiley
Under The Blacklight
(Warner)
23 Aug 2007

Ahead of their Electric Picnic date, the LA rockers ditch their mainstream sheen on their fourth album.


Kidd Blunt & Puget Sound
Untitled
(Hideaway Records)
22 Aug 2007

Both bands are masters of hardcore punk metal, often bringing a level of musical invention rare in the genre.


Fried
Things Change
(Sony/BMG)
22 Aug 2007

Early comparisons to Aretha Franklin may be a tad generous but for a debut effort, this is mightily impressive stuff.


Luke Vibert
Chicago, Detroit, Redruth
(Planet Mu)
21 Aug 2007

Genre-bending DJ Luke Vibert holds back from stylistic overkill.
