Seize the Chair - Taking the Jerk Pop Throne

Seize The Chair - Deborah

Razor sharp guitars slice through the pop shop vocals that put you in mind of Young Knives playing Bloc Party covers in a windowless basement circa 77. Jerky, angular, driven fun.

Mnemotechnic - Don't Forget Them

Mnemotechnic - Penny for Belief

Here’s a bit of energetic French rock in the vein of Bloc Party, covering an Errors track whilst going histrionic on Red Bull in a sweaty black box club.

Widowspeak - Lonely Heights

Widowspeak - Harsh Realm

The lovechild of Mazzy Star and Chris Isaak has finally been delivered and it’s as good looking, wistful and darkly evocative of wasted desert lines at night as you all thought it would be.

Knesset - Gathering Fans

Knesset - Bitter Hearts

You’re put in mind of Conor Oberst fronting a 90’s college band or Portland collective, but with a more gazey, washed out feel to the whole proceedings. Eminently listenable.

Total Slacker - Idle Frets

Total Slacker - Psychic Mesa

Slowed down, stoned and washed out grunge, but with a popper sensibility, & some thrift store chic. So, you know, they might get off their beanbags and sell some records.

To Kill a King - Filmic Folk

To Kill A King - Wrecking Crew (acoustic)

A warm, pulsing, missed heartbeat of a song full of new folk influences but with a weary soul all its own.

Psychobuildings - Crazed Constructions

Psychobuildings - No Man’s Land

What come on initially as an updated 80’s Blitz club anthem soon convinces you there’s more going on here with its faux slop bass twang and poppy direction.

Big Troubles - a Little Reminder

Big Troubles - Misery

We love a bit of dream pop, but let’s face it, some of it is more, well, drift pop. Packing more of a punch, this chunk of winsome fuzziness with a great screeching guitar line slicing through it is a cattle prod to the genre.

Male Bonding - Coming Together...

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:00:00 +0100

Find more MALE BONDING songs at Myspace Music

Male Bonding - Bones

The lo fi proto punk stylings of their earlier offerings have evolved into this shimmering nugget of relaxedly insistent, somehow more USA in feel, college pop. It’s kinda like early Deus on steroids, and certainly compells one to check their album.

Turbowolf - Combustible Rock

Seven Severed Heads - Turbowolf

Any band that throws together the energy and sounds of DFA 1979, Justice, The Stooges & the pure showmanship of Kiss deserve all the plaudits they’re long overdue. Their live shows are legendary, and we’re all bating our breath for the imminent album.

Negative Pegasus - Flight of the Long Chords

Negative Pegasus - Psychic Energy

You get the feeling these guys are on the right side of maniacal, holding onto feedback and the treble button with equal force whilst ramming a sick covered tongue in your ear.

The Bullitts - Gunning For You

The Bullitts - Weirdo

The ongoing audio visual project of producer Jeymes Samuel reaches a new phase with the release of this new track. it’s sparse, almost twee and full of little surprises with a Richard Hawley esque vocal enriching the proceedings.

The Travelling Band - Here To Stay

The Travelling Band - Battlescars

They’re gradually making the genre ‘Northern Americana’, a kinda West Coast (of Lancashire) sound, all their own with their blend of cosmic country folk rock. And you know what? it’s starting to work for us.

Kites - Sky's The Limit

Kites - The Disappearance of Becky Sharp

Kites are fast evolving into a band comprising all your favourite new wave/electro sounds in one. They avoid being ‘a bit cut and pastey’ (C - total idiots) by the depth of the Wolfesque vocals, the restraint employed with the synths and samples and the actual craft of songwriting being employed. Plus, and let’s not forget this, they look great.

Airship - Ready To Take Off

Airship - Kids (Thinnen mix)

The giant swathe that Airship have cut through the melancholoy rock valley populated by the likes of early Elbow & Editors has set this remix in good stead. In this, slowed to zombie walk rework, the hints of Morrissey in the vocals come to the fore and are couched in clouds of effects that offer an entirely different landscape altogether.

Born Blonde - Not Faking

Born Blonde - Solar

Heralding the resurgance of lad rock, this 5 piece offer a more thoughtful take on the ‘genre’, allowing for a depth of sound incorporating layers of guitars, baggy vocals and a psychadelic wash that is redolantly atmospheric of the late 90’s. And not a Stone Island jacket in sight, thank Zeus.

Luminaires - A Bright Future

Luminaires - Solid Gold

If Hadouken had smashed their buggy into the wall of Friendly Fires’ pop hooks and then tried to put the resultant carnage back together with thundering guitars and great slabs of synth, this would be the monster truck they’d create.

The Blood Arm - Sanguine Songs

The Blood Arm - Introducing Randy Newman

If The LIbertines were to meet The Jam in Dexy’s Midnight warehouse, the newly reinvigorated Blood Arm would be the house band, and we’d all be drunk.
