This is the first single from mewithoutYou’s third album, a band from
Philadelphia no less. Competent playing, top notch production, expansive arrangement, so what else is there? more… “mewithoutYou”
Four track EP from
London’s Ramekins heads off with the smooth opener Intoxicate Me, a subtle mix of guitars and synths that doesn’t get me legless but provides the warm glow the way the first one of the night should. more… “Ramekins”
The Displacements are a set of youngsters from Leicester. Kasabian? Well no, more like The View, and if I am honest, better. more… “The Displacements”
A split single featuring two bands covering each others songs. A bit odd, but anything goes. The Loyalties are classed as an underground punk and rock’n’roll band. The rough edges have been knocked off these guys and its not wild punk as we might know it more… “The Loyalties / Radio Dead Ones”
The Skuzzies apparently have a burgeoning support in London, according to their PR, though it’s hard to believe as I am sure there are a thousand bands that sound like this in London alone. more… “The Skuzzies”
Welsh three-piece rockers Evolvers parade their wares on this double A debut single. Bullet is a straightforward guitar rockpiece without any memorable riffage more… “Evolvers”
When a record has the billing “The hottest record in the world right now” your either cringe or open up to be converted. 19 year old Adele from London is cited as one of the next big things and in Hometown Glory she produces a display of raw class if such a thing exists. more… “Adele”
Shimmering synths, grinding guitars and, at times, operatic vocals take Rebecca into territory few bands ever reach..welcome to originality. more… “Rebecca”
For a band that has supported the likes of Babyshambles, Editors and Biffy Clyro The Dash dont throw up anything overly original. In many respects Paul Weller was sounding like this thirty years ago in a band called…The Jam. more… “The Dash”
Although tagged as a Punk ‘n’ Soul duo The Deodates churn up some radio available grower that would slide comfortably behind the Zutons or The Gossip on Radio 1. Before The Bench does bring along some punk’ish memories but only if The Clash was caught in bed with The Talking Heads. more… “The Deodates”
