The Go! Team - Ready to Go Steady
A band who seemingly receive less media coverage with each release, it's a wonder The Go! Team keep bashing on at this. And it's to our relief they do; should you give the new single a listen on reading this, you'll find pure pop perfection, the type of which the likes of Simon Cowell are content to see wiped off the face of the earth if it means making an extra dollar. Coming in at under three minutes, this gem is a reminder of what pop should be capable of.

Harvest Sun Promotions @ Mello Mello, 7:30pm, £5
"Oh ambassador, with these bands, you are spoiling us." Is probably what we'd say if Harvest Sun wanted to film an advert, Ferrero Rocher style. For this Friday sees a typically strong line-up assembled by the local aficionados showcasing some of the best music from anywhere and bringing it to Liverpool. Headlining are Mitchell Museum, a band compared to Mercury Rev, and creating gloriously eccentric psych-pop. But they aren't the only draw, you can also expect Scots anti-folk in the shape of Esperi and the Liverpool based Terra Alpha for your money.

Captain America
For what it's worth, we believe we're living through something of a golden age of comic book conversions. At worst they offer the perfect pop-corn, blockbuster experience. And at best have the potential, on occasion to transcend this and be considered on their own merits as serious films dealing with serious issues. We don't expect Captain America to fall into the latter category, but that's not to say we're not champing at the bit to go and see the latest in Marvel's fine Avengers series.
