Amped Up: Revisiting Marshall's Ultimate Band Contest
So you think you’ve got what it takes to be the next big thing? Want to get noticed by the big guys at the top? Well, for mainstream contenders The X Factor is one way of over exposing yourself in the most vulnerable manner possible. But if you are a hard-working, ambitious rock band, hungry for a little leverage, then the Marshall Ultimate Band Contest offers a more dignified approach.

DIY Pop: Forest Intent On Going It Alone
In the words of Arthur Conley, do you like good music? It’s a deceptively simple question, one that’s increasingly at odds with our modern proclivity to slap labels on everything that moves. You could say that Forest play post-slacker-indie-alt-rock. Or you could say that they play pop songs.

Take It Or Leave It: Madness Roll Back The Clock On Screen Debut
Camden Town's an odd one. Previously a haven for outcasts, the place has now become something of a parody. Once proud and unique, it’s now an imitation of past glories. The whole damn lot has been commercialised to kingdom come, and even the markets now look as if they were planted there by a seedy businessman. The place has lost its rough, grimy charm.

While Paramore are still maddeningly young and good looking, they have in fact been doing the rounds for some time. Their punky brand of pop-rock has seen them become darlings of the alternative set since their bow back in 2005, with Hayley Williams a genuine combination of megastar/trendsetter/role model that doesn’t come around all that often.

Pop Matters: Introducing The Horn The Hunt
The Horn The Hunt aren't afraid to tell you that they play pop music, but the Leeds-based duo's new single, Black Fire, is a grand, ambitious song that stands a million miles removed from the confections that often clutter the radio waves and chart listings.
