Already being lauded by many in the music press, One Night Only really delivers the goods on the album Started A Fire.

Just For Tonight opens the album and the production and sound is big and brash.

They don't mess about but go straight for the jugular and the results are quite astounding, giving me shivers down my spine that I last experienced upon first hearing The Killers' Hot Fuss.

You And Me and He's There stir up memories of the glory days of The Jam and would have sat nicely in the Mod revival of the early eighties. How many of you remember The Vapors?

There is nothing individually as brilliant as Turning Japanese, a hit for The Vapors in 1980, but collectively Started A Fire is a major triumph and proves the band are worthy of all the praise currently being bestowed upon them.

Colin Macintyre -- The Water.

The fourth album from Colin Macintyre shows a little of the rock beast he's been keeping hidden all this time, trying to be anthemic and sensitive all at the same time.

The opening track You're A Star is an upbeat slice of pop-rock that is as refreshing as diving into cold water.

Be My Saviour indulges Macintyre's always flirtatious nature for a good riff or five, which treads the thin line of being catchy and being over-used clumsily but marginally well.

Title track The Water really is a sun-catching highlight, with swaying, soulful beats that almost remind of a Damien Rice track.

Colin Macintyre's scathing honesty impresses in the up-tempo Famous for Being Famous whilst I Don't Have You To Ask will have your heart palpitating with its refrains.

Over all, the complete breadth of the album is a success. Macintyre clearly feels at home in his own song-writing skin with this offering. Perfect for the softer side of the indie spectrum.

Tegan and Sara - The Con.

With distinct child-like vocals, American twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quin, already a major name in the States, unleash The Con on the British market.

Aided and abetted by Death Cab For Cutie guitarist Chris Walla, I Was Married opens the album and it sounds like a couple of teenagers let loose in the recording studio.

The title track sounds like The Cure, albeit with Robert Smith on helium, as they sing, "nobody likes me.".

The rest of the album sounds like a cross between Juliana Hatfield and Voice of the Beehive. Two artists that enjoyed moderate success in the late eighties.

Should you hold fond memories of both or either of those then Tegan and Sara might be worthy of investigation.
