There was a moment a few months ago when standing with an A&R man we were discussing Hockey signing to Virgin Records. Why we asked, EMI are screwed, right? Well apparently, and yet still, Hockey (who along with the Little Comets are making some of the best indie pop around presently) signed. This track, released [...]

Yikes, Lemonwilde, much like our very own Muse, these American starlets offer a wonderful alternative to Franz and alike. Combining the art of emotive lyrics, post rock and falstetto styled walls of sound. Must admit to this being one of the few tracks we’ve been sent over the last 2/3 weeks that has actually moved [...]
Bleech, remind me of teenagedom, of kissing girls with awkwardness and dire technique, or orange walls and blue ceilings, of Radio1’s the Evening Session and of Blur, Elastica and the mighty Pulp. Long gone are those days, long gone. That said, East London isn’t just about ’synth shit” it’s also home to melodic, poplike and [...]
By and large i detest electro, however there’s suffienct techno / groove / electro ratio for me to want to funk my replacement hips to on these headboard bangers. There’s some ace stuff on this kid from Mo’den (moustache and Sweden yeh) on his the myspace of Fredrick Carlsson

Well well well. Hasn’t Jape come a long way since we bumped into him at Fabric and he insulted our haircuts? But we’re not ones to bear a grudge, not this time anyway. Well done Richie for winning the Choice Music Prize, which as far as we can tell is the Irish Mercury. You are [...]
Ghosthunter sent 88days a new track last week. Proving to be every megabyte as impressive as his last track on here. We’d like to think if we had a record label we’d have Ghosthunter mixing some tracks for us. In fact, certainly.

Welcome to First Aid Kit. So utterly charming that it’s entirely forgiveable to forget that these girls are just 15 and 16. To write songs that resonate with such a classical vocal delivery takes true guile and talent unlike those fakers over at VV Brown HQ. Alas, so totally charmed that I was on a [...]
