It is inevitable that Cardiff is doomed now that the Millennium Music Hall announced they were closing, well, gig-wise. Cardiff has really been dealt a soar deal this past year when it comes to gig venues and with both Music Hall and Barfly gone, there really is no mid-sized venue left, other than Clwb Ifor Bach, around the city centre.

It’s a little bit hard to understand why there seems to be a growing media buzz about Antlered Man. They are, generally speaking, the sort of band that hip music journalists (or even less hip ones like me) tend to steer clear of. They don’t fit neatly into any particular genre so they can’t be easily categorised. They don’t write songs that are three minutes long and have hooks the size of Wales. They don’t even have clearly audible lyrics. I mean, for Christ’s sakes guys, get a bloody grip. Do you really expect Radio 1 to go anywhere near you?

Normally a review will give a brief introduction about an act, but let’s face it: there’s not much point with Cher Lloyd. You know who she is, I know who she is - even the 1% of the British population who weren’t unwillingly drawn into the bright lights of 2010’s ‘X Factor’ couldn’t help notice Lloyd in passing. You know the one - the girl who constantly looked scorned like she had just been forced to eat a kilo of gravel.
