New Bands/albums

[CHAPPERS]

it should be rather good, the first single "The Escapist" is really one of his best.

You think? I thought the exact opposite. Different strokes for different folks and all but I thought it was terrible.

 

[house your seagull]

Nope, it's the Martin Brothers. Justin Martin made a massive tune called Revox which Tim Green remixed which was also a samsher.

The Martin Brothers - Dum / The Hype Machine

I don't have a copy I'm afraid but keep a look out for it.

i have a few justin martin records, not digging that west coast sound too much at the moment - i'll check it out though.

 

[Lord Large]

I wouldn't. Prepare to be bored SILLY.

I don't think it will be a bad album but as Chappers says, I don't expect it to be as fresh of exciting as their debut.

Then again, I can't think of too many subsequent records which have been...

 

[Dover]

Not new, but I am really enjoying the following...

Black Crowes...Warpaint
Zutons...You Can Do Anything
Alison Krauss/Robert Plant...Raising Sand
Baby Charles...Baby Charles


Please avoid Charleen Spiteri's Melody. She is desperatley trying to sound like Duffy.

 

[Les Biehn]

I've proper missed something with the Streets. I don't get why he/it/they are so popular.

agreed, by far the best of the bunch

so far ahead of the rest it sickens me.

the third album is an actual pile of wank. a pile of it.

i hope this album doesn't disappoint.

i'm cautiously optimistic

 

[Munkfish]

first album.. original pirate material.. amazing.

That album was different gear, the rest have been turdhouse.

 

[Les Biehn]

Original Pirate Material is the only one I listened too and thought that was shithouse, god knows what I wold make of the others.

Tokyo Police Club

PLAYING IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS TOMORROW NIGHT: Aug 14th

Not new as they have been around a few years, but if you haven't you should check out the album "Elephant Shell".

Standout tracks: "Graves" "Tessellate", "Sixties Remake", "Listen To The Math".

And if you like that, try "Nature Of The Experiment" and "Shoulders & Arms" from their mini-album "A Lesson In Crime" which was their first release.

A Canadian gem, really good live...go and thank me later

 

[Fergus96]

The Japanese Popstars = CLASS

 

[lost in london]

Some good pics on here I will have to check out. And whoever it was has reminded me of the WHip as well, saw them at latitude last year and forgot how good they were.

I don't know if they're old or new or what, but I'm into the Fields at the minute, and having seen the Aliens gig at latitude this year keen to give their album (if they've got one?) a go. The lead singer is the guy from the Beta Band who went a bit mental, and if his performance was anything to go by, still is.

Has anyone checked out emusic? They've got a great deal on at the minute that if you sign up for their service, you get a free trial, and 50 free tracks. Cancel the trial, and you've got your albums for absolutely nothing. I've got the Fleet Foxes and Howling Bells albums so far. I get a few extra tracks if I recommend someone, if anyone fancies helping me out give me your email and I'll send an invite!

Fields are excellent, "Everything Last Winter" (their debut) is a great album and I feel that band are very underrated. They have some new demo's up on their myspace as they are working on the second album. Saw them open for Bloc Party in Sheffield last February.

[challengechappers]

my favourite band by far at the moment (and the best debut album for years imo):

The War On Drugs

MySpace.com - The War on Drugs - *PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - Pop / Ambient / Comedy - www.myspace.com/thewarondrugs


shit name though !

 

[The Face]

I have heard some early demos from their new record and it looks like building well on their debut, which I thought was excellent.

Seeing The Rifles at Merc in Carnaby Street on Friday and then at V Fest Sunday morning! Great band and great lads too! Might be being a bit cheeky here but I'll ask anyway.. is there any chance you could send me them demos?

As far as new(ish) bands go I'd definitely recommend The Ruling Class and Imperial Leisure.

[ye ole random dude]

Daedelus and Lillica Libertine have got some ace stuff out now and are names for the future. Cage the Elephant, Lykke Li, Florence & the Machine, Santogold, Black Kids and Late of the Pier are some of the bands i find exciting at the moment. MGMT were mint live aswell. Cut Copy have been around for a while but their newest album In Ghost Colours is the business
