Filthy Boy

"Just look at us now, slippers and gowns, have we gotten so old." 

Playing at Live at Leeds early May comes Filthy Boy. A four piece from London who combine a deep monotone voice from lead singer Paraic Morrissey  and with almost creepy narrative lyrics to create something that could either offend or fall in love with. 

Who knew your nans word for pyjamas could sound so cool. 

Their debut album A Smile that wont go down is out now

The Maccabees Podcast

The Maccabees are undoubtedly a great band. My love for them grows more and more because they do thing like this.

I am guessing this was spun from their recent Xfm mixtape shows where they would talk about and play some of their favourite tracks they were listening to at that time such as The Pixies and Bob Dylan.

They now have greatly decided to do a podcast every now and then which has them playing and talking about some great music and artists such as I Am Kloot and Queens Of The Stone Age.
 It is definitely worth a listen.

Miles Kane- Give Up

"You're pretty, good looking, but I'm looking for a way out."

From recently seeing Miles Kane at the NME awards tour in Leeds earlier this month it has come to my attention that actually in fact Miles Kane is a god. He has the power to turn a crowd of sweaty indie folk into a bunch of screaming girls at a One Direction gig, his ever-so-cool approach at rock music is enough to send any heavy metal fan into overdrive.

 He can rock a leather jacket, an out dated Gallagher hair cut and is BFF's with Alex Turner which when together is like Batman and Robin.

His new album is more aggressive, rocky and effortlessly cool. 

Latest video for Give up sees Miles looking like a boss all in leather... 'av a look.

Bestival Line up

The Bestival line up gets me excited. Partly because I get to be a mermaid but because I quite like the idea of 10,000 people screaming 'Snnoooooooooooop' in unison, and if Elton and snoop collaborate for tiny dancer I may actually pee. It also makes me wonder what the third headline act will be... I want Bowie.

Deap Valley

"You say marry a rich man, I'd find a rich one if you can"

There is nothing that I love more than an angry girl band. Deap Vally controls the hearts of  gentle spectators whilst squeezing the heads off of old dolls and crying tears of blood and sweat. That's how I see them anyway.
Their raw, gritty talent, along with amples amount of attitude, rips apart sissy, female ideology's and spits on the people that created them. Taking no prisoners, Deap Vally hold on to what many male rock bands have forgot. They take risks, can play guitar and still can scream a lyric or two.

Gonna make my own money: Who'd have known that this is what they would sound like when they first met at crochet class.

Bit on Bondax

"Gold is not enough, She's the diamond, I'm the rough."

Dreamy, hazed ,electronic dance music that swifts you away to a dark, sweaty nightclub that sits home to the gritty sway of the intoxicated showgoers. George Townsend and Adam Kaye make the body of Bondax. A quick glance at their soundcloud will show you how intense and popular these guys really are. With them working so hard in the studio on their debut album, it comes to no surprise that they have been recognised by the greats at Xfm and Radio one.

Bondax-Gold: complex, melodic and of pure brilliance.

Swim Deep - The Sea (Acoustic)

Bastille all acoustic

"Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins?"

Among the triangle lovers of our modern day, British culture comes Bastille, a south London band who's EP has forced them to rise above much anticipation for their oncoming album Bad Blood due for release in early March.

I found this little beauty whilst procrastinating, browsing through trying to fill my time with something more exciting than work I had to do. This acoustic version of Pompeii, taken from a Daytrotter session, is the first track of Bad Blood  is beautiful and has to be said, slightly more spectacular than the original. 

You can pre-order Bad Blood now

SPLASHH ~ Vacation

Peace (the band not the plea)

"It’s spectacular, how you suck my blood. Baby you’re Dracula"

I don't know what I love more: the fact that their Facebook page is higher up on Google search engine than the Peace corp or the fact they have used a watermelon as their EP artwork.

Peace are about to venture on the NME awards tour with Django Django, Miles Kane and Palma Violets (I will get on to them later). This band is the band who are currently being repeated on YouTube adverts, radio one late night shows and being showcased on Xfm Great Xpectations (where you can download California daze for free).

Peace have managed to create an EP that has no faults, no glitches and still, despite the envy, makes you feel like you could share their company over a drink or two down the pub.

Covering Binary Finary's Trance Hit, Track 1998(Delicious) from their EP is a 10 minuet squeezing of wondrous beauty.  Its ridiculous how good this is.




New song Wraith is available on the 13th.

Swim Deep

"Fuck your romance, I wanna pretend That Jenny Lee Lindberg is my girlfriend"

The Birmingham sprung, 'Beach grunge,' Swim Deep have become a particular favourite of mine recently. With the power of the cinnamon role and their latest track, Honey, Swim deep have had allot more radio play, spreading their name, which can only be a good thing with an upcoming tour and album on the horizon.

Swim Deep's late 80's pop sound is strung from effortlessly cool tales of lust and romance. 

Released back in May but this is still up there in my most played: King City
