Reviews by Natalie Hardwick 
ANNAThe Courteeners
The four-piece openly embraces lad rock, but do at least challenge its mandate.
Mixed EmotionsTanlines
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 LovePulled Apart By Horses
A second LP which just about retains the Leeds-based band’s impressive rawness.
