Mini Mansions – Monk

minimansions

So as I started writing this blurb for Mini Mansions’ (a band I had heard of in passing but not really digged into yet) track for “Monk”, I was thinking… “UK band Mini Mansions sound like Supergrass” (or something like that.) So I go to look up what town English town these Mansions blokes are from and lo and behold, suprise surprise, they’re actually from L.A. AND is fronted by Queens of the Stone Age bassist Michael Shuman. That’s a pretty nice pedigree. “Monk” is a great tune, somewhere between the dusty blues-inspired sounds of 60’s bands like The Zombies or The Hollies or the dusty blues-inspired sounds of 90’s-00’s bands like, yes, Supergrass.

Beady Eye – The Beat Goes On

beadyeye

“The Beat Goes On” indeed for the zombie Oasis incarnate a.k.a. Beady Eye. The geezers carry on here with former Oasis bassist and Ride frontman Andy Bell on writing duties. The tune treads a familiar territory for the personnel assembled (a little Beatles, a little Stones, a little Kinks), that said, its a successful traverse of that well worn territory; with Liam coming off the best he’s sounded on record in some time.

Bombay Bicycle Club – Magnet

bombay-bicycle-club4

“Magnet” is the next single off BBC’s debut I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose. the chorus is incredible, it just takes off with “oooooooo” and hooks baby hooks. so with guns blazin, who wins in a draw: “magnet” or the interpol catalogue?? our $$$ is on zombie ian curtis after an entrance from another dimension. either way, “magnet” is a glance at the future of a young and rather promising group..
