Our good friends from Fleet are back, and this time they’re waving about tracks off of their debut album. You can download it for FREE after the jump, so take a gander.
Having already garnered quite a following in his native Sweden, Johan Reinhold is introducing himself to our ears with his indie-electro-pop sensibilities in the form of a remix EP. Music after the jump…
Okay, so we’ve already spoken to her before… but since Roxanne had the balls to go in and confront receptionists at the BBC in this time of ‘terrorism’ for the sake of a video, we thought we’d shine the spotlight back on her again.
Unsettling looped harmonies, running water and breathy whistling. You never quite know what you’re going to come across in a Pulco record, and that’s part of its charm. Sketchbook Season continues in the ‘lofi misery poet’ style that we’ve come to know and admire (albeit maybe at a distance).
Here’s something a bit different from what I usually cover on here. For all of you partial to a bit of old time gypsy-swing folk music, it can be difficult to find contemporary artists with a bit of style that can and do actually write their own tracks, rather than just imitating what’s come before. I give you Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra.

Future of the Left have had returned. After the rather shock news that angry singer/bassman Kelson Mathias had left the raging power-trio, the band have taken a bit of time to take stock and get their house in order. The culmination?

Nowadays they’ve been (finally) attracted the attention of some other well-placed musical people, getting a coveted slot for up-and-coming bands on the T-Break Stage at T in the Park, as well as their latest EP hitting Number 2 on the NME’s ‘buzz list’ (whatever the hell that is).
Volume 4 is the latest release from one of the most interesting bands around - Shield Your Eyes.
Due out on the 17th of October, this has got to be one of their finest albums to date.

Lafaro are a band that we’ve been hearing more and more about over the past few months, and today is the day that they release their sophomore full-length to the masses, along with news of a joint UK tour in November with none other than our old pals Hold Your Horse Is.
