Stuart Leech - Reviews
Arctic Monkeys
Appealing latest single from bestselling Sheffield group the Arctic Monkeys
Annuals
Debut album from British group Annuals, which if one can get beyond initial Arcade Fire comparisons, proves to be thoroughly convincing
Jackson Analogue
Summery 1960's influenced rock 'n' roll on likeable debut album from the Isle of Wight's most recent export, the Jackson Analogue
Hold Steady
Catchy vinyl only latest single from the much acclaimed Hold Steady
Jesse Malin
Overtly polished, but thoroughly disappointing latest single from much hyped New York singer songwriter Jesse Malin
Stills
Rewarding second album from the Stills, which finds them moving away from their art rock roots and developing a country sound
Pigeon Detectives
Fast paced but versatile debut album from hard touring Leeds-based band the Pigeon Detectives, who are currently NME's flavour of the month
Pull Tiger Tail
Catchy, but uninnovative and formulaic latest single from the much hyped Pull Tiger Tail
Parka
Over safe and dull latest single from Glasgow-based group, Jeepster
