Paul McCartney One of the world&#8217;s great unanswered questions, along with the meaning of life, is how Macca still manages to get blamed for splitting up the Beatles. Which would probably piss most people off if you had been the one dragging the other 3 kicking and screaming into the recording studio for both Abbey Road and Let It Be. Even worse, he continues to basically get blamed for not getting shot/still being alive. Urban myth continues in insisting that McCartney has released nothing better than polished turds since leaving the Beatles (an urban myth that completely&#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Again we are going to be putting a diverse range of acts on throughout the year and where possible we will endeavour to make them free gigs or as cheap as we possibly can if we have to charge an entrance fee to cover costs. The first night of this year (17th January) will see the brilliant Volcanoes strutting their stuff as the headline band. It&#8217;s&#8230;]]></content:encoded>

They were brought together by then solo artist Craig &#8216;Vinnie&#8217; Whitehead, who was given the opportunity to record his first single and decided to call on various friends and local band members to form a makeshift side project to take on back up duties.  Luckily, those very friends and associates turned out to be some of Leeds&#8217; most talented and eclectic musicians, and who after&#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Don&#8217;t believe that for a minute though as we know exactly why just about record label, pr company and band down tools. Yes it&#8217;s because they are so excited about the unveiling of The Beat Surrender top 50 albums list each year that they set themselves aside a week before hand and a week after (to absorb it all in I&#8217;m guessing) and this years list is so chock full of brilliant&#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Our winner is a breathtakingly brilliant track that sounded good on the radio, has rooms jumping in the small gigs they have played so far and went down equally well on the much bigger tour supporting Orbital earlier this year.
