DOWNLOAD: Art Brut – Lost Weekend
It’s Friday and, for that very reason, the possibility exists—as ever—that the next two days will be a bit hazy. Here we have Art Brut’s "Lost Weekend" to send us stumbling on our way. This single off their fourth album, Brilliant Tragic!, is about as melodic as the band has ever sounded, with singer Eddie Argos actually crooning (the remnants of his spoken word...
King Antics; and Meaningless Achievements – Featuring A Guest Appearance From Eddie Argos!
These days, it’s all about numbers. So whether reaching the nicely-rounded 500 mark in Twitter Followers is a big deal or not is a moot point. It just is, OK? For me, added excitement  came in the suave and witty form of Art Brut’s Eddie Argos, who, with a click of his mouse, became ANBAD’s 500th follower. Such delightful serendipity is one of life’s most...

Offset Festival Day One - 04 September 2010
Teeth!!! (photo Wyldman)     This is not going to be a definitive report on the 2010 Offset Festival. For starters, over the two days I saw over fifty acts that I LIKED to varying degrees. And I couldn’t be everywhere, despite trying my best. Things get off to a rollicking start on Saturday with Hull’s The Neat on the Main Stage. Much angular guitar and the first instance...
SxSW Beginner's Guide #5 - E(zer Good) & F
The sun is now shining, gleaming off the quilt of white snow over everything outside. I still have very little reason to go outside so onwards with the next alphabetical characters in SxSW’s list of showcasing bands….except I’ve changed my mind. This is actually insane and I have far more important things to do. So, I’m only going to recommend bands, and forget about the...

ART BRUT MP3s

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Art Brut - Weird Science
  Sadly, this song is not about Eddie Argos and Anthony Michael Hall creating a perfect woman amidst a cloud of red smoke in their bathroom. Culled from the same Frank Black-produced sessions as their new record Art Brut Vs. Satan, this less-punk, more-pop b-side from the Brut tells of a mysteriously potent brand of beer, which has Argos "dancing all night to whatever they’re...
Art Brut - Just Desserts
Art Brut’s new, Frank Black-produced album, Art Brut Vs. Satan, drops May 12 through Downtown, but "Just Desserts" won’t be on it. The track, drawn from the same "punk-as-fuck" sessions the band did with Black for the record, didn’t quite make the tracklist, which isn’t to say that its three and a half minutes of simplified, serrated guitars and...
The Daily Graboid
Lots of great releases to be had this week, with a few in particular that I personally recommend, which are Camera Obscura’s My Maudlin Career, Cryptacize’s Mythomania, and Pet Shop Boys’ Yes. There are some excellent songs that standout on Camera Obscura’s record, but I’m still not quite sure if I enjoy it from top to bottom. Though, I’ve been playing that...
Countdown to Christmas with Glamchops
There’s a fair amount of humbug going around this Christmas, so it’s good to hear erstwhile glam rockers GLAMCHOPS getting into the spirit of things.  If there’s a genre of music that lends itself to Christmas singles, then surely that genre is glam rock. And the ‘CHOPS do a damn fine job continuing in the Slade/Wizzard/er.. Darkness tradition. Angels in...

Monday's leaky faucet (new tunes from Art Brut)
Who: Art Brut Title: Art Brut vs. Satan Release Date: May 12th Label: Downtown Thoughts: When Art Brut burst onto the scene a couple years ago with their debut Bang Bang Rock & Roll, we all knew there was more then a little bit of shtick involved. The band used Eddie Argos distinctive talk singing and energy to ride a wave into your hearts and then tried to capitalize on all the success and...
