Videos of the Day: The Futurebirds || Colleen Green || TOY || The Men

Today’s videos are from our favourite southern fried country rockers The Futurebirds, Colleen Green as a cabbie in her new video for Taxi Driver, indie psych-rockers TOY’s video for latest single Heart Skips A Beat, and a 1990s VHS inspired video from The Men for I Saw Her Face, one of the moodier tracks from excellent new album New Moon. . . .

New Album From Thirty Pounds Of Bone

A long time ago when we were on the hideous Google blogspot platform we posted about the unique and dislocated folk of Thirty Pounds Of Bone (aka singer-songwriter Johny Lamb). So the news that he has a new album titled I Cannot Sing You Here, But For Songs Of Where, due out on the 6th May via Armellodie Records was especially good to hear. Even more so when … Continue reading New Album From Thirty Pounds Of Bone

Introducing >>> Post War Glamour Girls

According to the press release, Post War Glamour Girls have built up a formidable reputation within Leeds music scene. Apparently they spit desolate, often surreal narratives over literate rock and roll foundations, pitched somewhere between The Birthday Party if they’d hailed from England’s industrial North and the Smiths if their dissatisfaction had boiled over. So, are the claims justified? The band will release Jazz Funerals … Continue reading Introducing >>> Post War Glamour Girls

Introducing >>> Caves

Caves are from Birmingham and took their name after being inspired by a book of one of their nans about caves and sea monsters, which matched their take on hazy grunge pop with bursts of distorted guitar perfectly. Similarities to Nirvana are no accident, but one flavour of ice cream is obviously not enough for this duo and so Caves also seek inspiration from Deerhunter, Beach … Continue reading Introducing >>> Caves

Videos of the Day: The Paper Kites || The Ruminaters || Sanders Bohlke || Eyes On Film

Short films of the musical variety to enjoy with the sweet folk of The Paper Kites, and the hillbilly swamp-rock of The Ruminaters. There is Sanders Bohlke’s slightly macabre and dreamlike video for Ghost Boy, and some powerful electro tinged rock from Waking Up Dead, with a video based on the opening scene from the 1983 cult, art-horror flick The Hunger. . . (Click through to download for free.) … Continue reading Videos of the Day: The Paper Kites || The Ruminaters || Sanders Bohlke || Eyes On Film

SXSW Day 5: Experiencing One Or Two Technical Difficulties

The final day of SXSW and I’m on a quest. Phosphorescent play their last show today and I have tried and failed to get into four previous ones already. So it is the long walk away from downtown and up to the San Jose Hotel day party, I arrive hot, bothered and five hours early…but I’m in! No matter either because Shakey Graves is on … Continue reading SXSW Day 5: Experiencing One Or Two Technical Difficulties

SXSW Day 4: Ladies Day In Texas

Having now learnt from the previous two days of SXSW (fully creamed up for a start) and the seemingly vastly increased numbers from 2009, I headed straight for The Red Eyed Fly determined at the third attempt to get into a Phosphorescent show…only to be greeted by more lines that stretched way, way into the distance. Having no further wish to baste in the midday … Continue reading SXSW Day 4: Ladies Day In Texas

New EP From Wild Leaves

The hazy, washed out Americana of Wild Leaves was one of our favourite discoveries of 2012 with their demo release of Sister. Now they have a debut EP coming out on the 26th March titled Wind And Rain, and the lead track from it is To Be Free. It builds on all the promise that Sister showed, and simply put, it is absolutely brilliant. If you have Low … Continue reading New EP From Wild Leaves
