		<description><![CDATA[Until laying my ears on Champ, I&#8217;d written off Tokyo Police Club as being another indie Buzz band lumped in with bands such as The Cribs, The Libertines and even The Strokes. However all previous misconceptions were thrown aside the moment opener Favourite Food began. Opening with a certain sadness comprised of softly strummed chords [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scampering amongst the alt-rock monoliths at this year&#8217;s Matt Groening-curated All Tomorrow&#8217;s Parties, Trash Kit were a bunch of young upstarts which, to many attendees, were one of the discoveries of the whole weekend. True enough, the fact that the London female three-piece commanded possibly the last performance of the whole event &#8211; taking the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our Own Ghost City is an album full of off key time signatures, twinkling guitars riffs and rife with melody. On paper this sounds grand but in practise is quite a tiring effort. Repetition is what brings the album down, I often found myself struggling to determine where one track ended and another began a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it’s hard to determine whether a band rerecording material is either a cop out or for better, in Castevet’s case it’s the latter. Hindsight has served the band well in this instance; as the entire record has been rerecorded and expanded via 2 new tracks. When I first heard the original release of The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dude Japan are a band that seem to improve with every release and the fact the initial demo was of such high calibre must be a clear indication of where the band now lie. The progression since said demo is impressive to say the least, from the static hiss of the indie pop to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Riot Before’s sophomore effort presents us with an album that’s varied in style and full energy and whilst being a thoroughly enjoyable record, isn’t without it’s faults. Rebellion seems to find the band in a situation whereby they’re not 100% on what kind of album they are producing. Given the recent popularity of bands [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve spent most of the last year pretty much moaning about the decline in great indie rock and then out of nowhere, two quality releases land on my door step with Wonderswan’s I Wish I Was Deep Instead of Just Macho being one. IWIWDIOJM was recorded entirely on 4 track, something that is reflected in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A mixture of style is presented here on the bands first 7&#8243; all of which fall into some sort of indie niche. First track A Headache is notably the shortest and loudest track on the ep, opening on a set of controlled palm muted chords before bursting into a bellowed chorus with lyrics presenting the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a label with the name Either/Or Records, you&#8217;d be mistaken into thinking that the ep to follow would be a rather nice &#38; sparse acoustic indie affair, however you couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth. Instead you&#8217;ll be treated to some of the most passionate punk rock you&#8217;ve heard in a while. Springfield’s Maker [...]]]></description>
