Trust Guillemots to do something a bit different. Their two albums so far have shown them to be miles away from run of the mill indie bands, mixing pop, disco and even samba rhythms, and for their Fishbone For A...

This year, dirty American rock is definitely in. The Black Lips, Fucked Up, Pissed Jeans et al comprise a simply-edited list of White Denim's contemporaries, yet as this group bound onto the stage they appear to be a much more

So the cowbells and dustbin lids have been replaced by synthesisers and keyboards, but it makes no difference, the Mystery Jets have secured a place in my heart despite their change in sound.

A new experience for me, not only had I not seen Joe play before but it was also my first "true blues" event. The original plan was to see his show in Leeds, but this sold out before I got tickets....

An hour before the doors are due to open DiS spots a group of about six people huddled together under a makeshift blanket. They've obviously been there a while, too, fending off the perishing cold best they can. Nothing new...

It's an explosive sparking synth start to proceedings by Foals, second on a bill headed by New Young Pony Club, Liars and Hot Chip DJs - grouped close together as they sway from side to side, giving the air a...

This and an eventful set - including a Slipknot cover; a naked stage diver; and a wall of death - took this from a great gig to an absolutely outstanding gig.

Review by Ben Hayes - Shef Base
 
The atmosphere from the off was great, with a lovely appreciation between fans and band alike, there was even a crack about being from the north of their country, and knowing how folks get more friendly the more north you...

SHY FX was the star of the show at The Plug, Matilda Street as Detonate, the monthly drum and bass night returned for a second event.

One thing I didn't expect from FOALS tonight was the intro - Greek Sing-a-long, which, to me, sounded like Benedictine monks at a rave. So that was nice, and it shook you up a little, which is what this band does. Send them...

FAIRY LIGHTS, two accompanying guitarists and a bottle of JD were all that Hatherley needed to impress at Sheffield’s plug last Tuesday.

Tonight's line up is an independent music fans dream. Forget the'indie' world with its chart hits, bland rhythms and product placingattitude, this isn't the indie music you expect to be brandishing frontcovers of magazines. It's the music you stand by,...

Review by Danielle Millea
 
The place is rammed full of people who probably were about when Patti was first coming into the spotlight (unlike this reviewer). A thin figure in tight jeans, big black suit jacket and “a t-shirt bought from Debenams”, her features...

Dressed in rather funereal attire Sheffield's own The Hosts get things started. Formed out of the ashes of 90s indie troopers Hoggboy, they have a fair few fans in the audience, including local legend Richard Hawley sporting his trademark quiff....

It's been almost a year-and-a-half since Idlewild played live before this tour, an intimate club jaunt to showcase new material from upcoming sixth full length offering due next year. Opening with Roseability, the band tear into the set at full throttle...

This is the last date of their club tour and though she's tired tonight, the only way we know is because she keeps on telling us between swigs of Red Bull ("it gives you wings", one audience member helpfully points...
