British Sea Power, Make Model at Rescue Rooms, 22/01/08
Any indie music enthusiast worth their salt will have had British Sea Power come onto their music radar since they formed in 2000. They are the kind of act you’ll either show a certain amount of indifference towards or for whom you’ll thrown all you rationality, cynicism and even expertise to the harrowing and powerful winds of the mainstream and become a dedicated and avid fan.

The Courteeners, Nottingham Rescue Rooms 21/01/2008
The Courteeners have been hailed in a number of hot tips for 2008 lists and are increasingly touted as a new hope, a great new band to believe in again. The magazines say they’re taking the torch passed on by previous Manchester guitar bands- like a brutish Smiths or an intellectual Oasis. So, tonight at Rescue Rooms, the question is, can they cut it?
