Live Reviews: Torche/Part Chimp/Chickenhawk @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 23.11.10
Hot damn do Chickenhawk know how to make Bearded happy. With their newly released Modern Bodies out earlier this month, the guys have been touring, promoting and perfecting their set since the release and it really shows. With the biggest audience reaction we’ve ever seen from a second support band, they clearly knew what they were doing.

Live Reviews: Bellowhead @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London 20.11.10
Love the mad-eyed drunken abandon of the Pogues but left cold by the recent plague of tasteful, polite and bloodless folkies? Then say hello to your new favourite band…

Albums: V/A - This Is UK Grime Vol. 1 (Defenders)
This Is UK Grime Vol. 1 is brought to you by Defenders and serves up a selection of grime which bridges the mainstream with the underground. If all you’ve heard about grime are the negative stereotypes painted by people in the media who know nothing about it, then this is a compilation which should help shift the balance in favour of what grime is all about.

Live Reviews: Yann Tiersen / Syd Matters @ The Junction, Cambridge 11.11.10
On a chilly evening in Cambridge, Bright-Young-Things and couples aplenty were in attendance at The Junction – presumably hoping to enjoy some of the delicious romanticism of the brilliant Yann Tiersen – the mastermind behind the soundtrack to the hugely popular film ‘Amélie’.

Live Reviews: Dungen @ Bar Academy, Islington 16.11.10
Tonight’s gig was enough to give musos a good name – with more chops on display than a butcher’s shop window. Opener Jim Molyneux is a virtuoso accordionist with a decent voice on him; while Wolf People’s heavy yet swinging take on folk-rock, like Fairport Convention meets Cream, went down a storm.
