10 Tracks You Have To Hear This Week (08/02/10)
1. Hot Club De Paris – ‘Fuck You, The Truth!’ A while since we’ve heard from the spry and wiry Liverpool trio, whose splicing of antsy post-hardcore and oddball Fall/XTC-ish indie energy is as refreshing as a splash of cold water to the...
Live Review: ATP A Decade Of Destruction
Set the clichés aside for a moment: ATP 's clientele is no more dominated by the bearded indie elite than it is by lairy Muse fans. All human life is here, and nobody gets rinsed out - meteorologically or financially. Here is a world where you...
Live Review: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Beneath a huge floating eyeball, a woman with a luminous pink spiral over her face is hypnotising the crowd. While a demonic disco song throbs, she stalks around like Spider-Man in a K-hole, holding dramatic poses, ripping off one sleeve and...

First things first, we need to deal with the elephant in the room, to dispel the thick fug of rumour that hangs heavy over this release. ‘Show Your Bones’ is not, repeat not, a concept album about Karen O’s pussy. Perhaps we should clarify....
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Gold Lion
“Hello, is that Top Time Travel Tours Ltd? It’s the NME here. Do you do last minute bookings? We’d like to go back abut five weeks and drop a bomb on that editorial meeting where we declared American music officially dead? Yep, the chart was...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs : Fever To Tell
Things move fast in the world of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs . When they first arrived in Britain a year ago, it seemed likely they'd make a debut album fixated on the simple art of fucking. Instead, 'Fever To Tell' is more complicated: seeking to...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs : Glasgow Barrowlands
There's a strong case to be made for the argument that Karen O should accept sole responsibility for each and every heinous fashion crime that currently plagues the landscape of indie rock. Look around tonight and you'll see mullets whose angles...
