Nick leans on the bar, pint in hand; his head nodding slightly to the music. His face is masked by long, greasy strands of hair, (he tells people that he hasn’t had it cut in over a year with a sense of pride).

Upbeat and commercial, so unlikely to be popular with students. But thedistinctive sound of Levine’s voice makes a welcome comeback; he is, after all, the best thing since sliced bread.

Mark Ronson - Version
Does what it says on the tin
The Maccabees - Colour it In
Racist
K-Day
Fashion Desk takes on the crowds in Queen Street to battle it out for a piece of the most over-hyped collection of the year
Noisettes - Scratch Your Name
Scratch Your Name is a thrilling wall of sound which is laced with the soulful, sexual yet gentle tones of front woman Shingai Shoniwa. A satisfying chunk of pop-rock.
Explosions In The Sky
It’s a matter of mere moments before the arrival of Explosions in the Sky to the stage and the atmosphere in the Astoria is incredible. As with many of their post-rock peers, here is a band that demand nothing short of sheer adoration from their fans.
Orange Goblin - Healing Through Fire
Purple Mushroomfish
