		<description><![CDATA[If, like me, you first started listening to music ‘properly’ (ie: seeking it out, rather than listening to what the radio/tv told you to) in the early to mid nineties, then your musical tastes probably take in a lot of what might be called alt.rock and you probably like a bit of grungey angst here and there...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve gone on record a number of times with how much of a <strong>Wintersleep</strong> fan I am, so lets be honest, their new album isn’t going to get a negative review from me. That said though, the band have made some striking changes on this, their fourth album. When Kings Of Leon released their last album it sounded similar to their previous offerings, but somehow more clear...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let’s start this review with a confession… I was extremely happy to receive these CDs as I actually far prefer Ronnie James Dio to Ozzy Osbourne! I realise that to many this may seem blasphemy, but when I’m listening to an album, I want to hear a talented singer, not a showy front man and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something a little different for you today. When Matt Merritt was offered the chance to interview Disturbia founder Frank Major, he couldn't quite understand why they'd be interested in a music site. Then he realised that Disturbia make shirts for the Prodigy and their tees are often found adorning walking rock god Slash. Suddenly, this interview seemed like a very good idea indeed! So, we sent Frank some questions, and here's what he had to say!]]></description>

Mumford &#38; Sons profile has skyrocketed over the last twelve months, Laura Marling continues to be held up as an artist who is superior to her peers and the likes of Fleet Foxes continue to sell strongly. Add to this the countless guitar toting [...]]]></description>

If nothing else, with the dreary grey skies and drizzling rain as we waited in Guildhall Square, surrounded by the regal Guildhall itself and the dreary concrete and glass of the civic offices, we were setting a perfect scene for the Birmingham bands tunes...]]></description>

Instead she invested herself fully in a powerful performance that was far ore hit than miss. Backed by her superb band, the set was full of energy and truly came [...]]]></description>
