Albums: Castrovalva, Shield Your Eyes, That Fucking Tank, KONG - Split 10” (Brew)
Another month, another split 10” from Leeds’ own grotesque beauties, Brew Records. Following the popularity of the previous experiment, the guys have come out with another fantastic demonstration of why they’re on top of the cacophonous pile that makes up the Leeds noise scene.

Albums: The Dead Trees - Whatwave (Affairs Of The Heart)
If we had a summer to enjoy, The Dead Trees’ breezily catchy, insubstantial garage pop would be a pretty decent soundtrack to it. These young hipsters sound like a more laidback Strokes if the New Yorkers had laid off the gack and relocated to LA.

Albums: Is Tropical - Native To (Kitsune)
Is Tropical begun making waves with a steady drip of frosty synth filled performances in the winter of 2009/10. Then they disappeared. Well, apparently that was just to heighten the anticipation for their triumphant full length debut release. So here we are, 18 months down the line. Was it worth the wait?
