We posted a track by The Legal Immigrants in our recent Monday round-up, and now we have another from them for your listening pleasure.

It seems apt therefore that we have an excellent new song from Ultimate Painting that also lambasts this out-of-touch, arrogant, and thoroughly loathsome bunch.

Another eight tracks, some older than others, all worth some of your attention, give it to me now… The Ethical Debating Society have just released debut album New Sense on London’s excellent Odd Box Records. Across 14 … Continue reading Another Monday Round-Up
Coming in typical fashion from a band soon to release a 90+ minute, 29-track indie-rock odyssey of an album, New York’s Titus Andronicus have shared video’s for not one but six tracks (including a brilliant Daniel Johnston cover), or as the band call it “the album’s second act”, known as The Magic Morning/Beside Himself.
