Reviews by Natalie Hardwick 
-
ANNA The Courteeners
The four-piece openly embraces lad rock, but do at least challenge its mandate. -
Mixed Emotions Tanlines
A peppy, optimistic set, but lacking original thought and ultimately a bit dated. -
A Wasteland Companion M. Ward
Timeless, romantic folk from a singer whose not-so-monstrous reputation precedes him. -
In Time to Voices Blood Red Shoes
The Brighton-based pair’s pop-rock sound has been refined to an admirably high shine. -
Tough Love Pulled Apart By Horses
A second LP which just about retains the Leeds-based band’s impressive rawness.
