Panic At The Disco - Pretty. Odd.
Although a novel and interesting album with some longevity, you’re left with a feeling that with a little more thought it could’ve been so much more.

Guillemots - Red
What really impresses is the bands ability to take such differing sounds while keeping their sporadic indie credentials well in tact.

Supergrass - Diamond Hoo Ha
This, their sixth album, is a storage room of references and influences that still remains very much Supergrass.

Fear Of Music - First To Go
Their debut album follows soon, if it's anything like this we should have a contender for best British newcomers by the time years up.

Future Of The Left - Manchasm
'Manchasm' has no commercial hook, fits no particular genre or scene, yet is instant, insistent and everything a good single should be.

Panic At The Disco - Nine In The Afternoon
It’s undoubtedly a Panic At The Disco song with an ambitious use of instruments, quirky melodies and a chorus to sing aloud.
