		<description><![CDATA[Album review: Avril Lavigne, The Best Damn Thing
Avril Lavigne insists she won’t be pidgeon-holed and has professed to be unconcerned with image. Yet her appearance has always been carefully crafted. 
When she first broke on to the scene as a teenager, she was a cute, but tomboyish rock chick – the anti-Britney and poster girl [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fireescapesymphony.wordpress.com&blog=955239&post=11&subd=fireescapesymphony&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Album review: Maximo Park, Our Earthly Pleasures 
It’s almost impossible to read a Maximo Park review without a lazy mention of The Futureheads.
But though the neighbours from the North East of England emerged on the scene at a similar time just over a couple of years ago, only one of those bands is able to make [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fireescapesymphony.wordpress.com&blog=955239&post=9&subd=fireescapesymphony&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When Travis played their last gig, 18 months ago, they were a band with newly lit fire in their bellies.

Nerina Pallot is breathtakingly beautiful &#8211; though not enough to upstage her delicately crafted and perfectly delivered songs at Manchester&#8217;s Academy 2.
Whispers go around the venue in the moments before the singer-songwriter is due on stage, filled with people justifying to their girlfriend/boyfriend, wife/husband, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fireescapesymphony.wordpress.com&blog=955239&post=7&subd=fireescapesymphony&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Morrissey, live @ the Music Hall, Aberdeen, on Saturday, April 22, 2006
There&#8217;s a rumour Morrissey has mellowed.
Heaven know he&#8217;s happier now, so the theory goes &#8211; some new material even verges on optimistic. 
But fans who bought tickets months ago for the sold-out Aberdeen Music Hall gig soon realised the former Smiths frontman was as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fireescapesymphony.wordpress.com&blog=955239&post=6&subd=fireescapesymphony&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Embrace front man Danny McNamara knows how to work the crowds.

In Sheffield on Saturday, I&#8217;m pretty sure no one else was driving quite as far home after seeing Gemma Hayes end her tour at the Leadmill.
