why The Rolling Stones define this term…
“Cigarette Machine Club Mix” is new from London’s White Rose Movement. nobody ever told me that growing up with future bandmates in a hippy commune could yield creativity like this! i guess it really shouldn’t be a suprise but as a musician, all i can say is.. mom, dad, WTF! the track from their upcoming release lends a glimpse into what could very well could be an incredible album, as grimy guitars and distorted backing vocals find themselves in harmony with a welcoming melodic lead vocal and irresistible up tempo groove. new wave electroclash done right. dem’ brits just done got it down..

new and off the second blahblahvampire soundtrack, Band Of Skulls offer “Friends”. this one is a stomper, and unlike that death diamond track, this single must have been tracked before their food got tainted with jack white roids. it’s fixin’ to be the holiday season, and for this we are thankful.

“Standing Still” is the new single from the up and coming dublin, ireland band The Brothers Movement. their self-titled debut LP drops official early november, and from the sounds of it expect an effort that channels 90’s britpop ie. early verve and oasis but with the more contemporary indie spin of bands like LA’s black rebel motorcycle club. we’ll keep you posted, but for now dig on some pretty dec rock and roll..

speaking of the verve…

A Place To Bury Strangers’ new LP Exploding Head is shaping up to be one of our fav releases of the year.. and not just because of the name. “In Your Heart” has rightfully gotten hold of our attention for its pop sensibility yet powerfully cold composition. And in the spirit of “In Your Heart”, dig on this classic from Close Lobsters. These cats, who even opened for The Jesus and Mary chain back in 1986, rule! “Nature Thing” was recently re-released this month on a new singles collection titled Forever Until Victory and has found its way into our heavy rotation.
