The Horrors- Skying

Beyond the crazy hair styles and black kohl there is a genuine passion and real core to The Horrors.

The best album since their 2001 release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Containing freak guitars, playful pop, emotional lyrics and ragged riffs, oh and the bleeping synth. A lot of elements on paper but a tonne of beautiful songs on an album. The tracks range from radio friendly indie to wonderful experimentations. An American Radiohead- maybe but I think they these guys have a name of their own, and thats Wilco.

Sleeping With Sirens

I only just discovered Sleeping With Sirens recently thanks to the boyfriend. The band features Kellin Quinn (kewlwin!) who's distinctive high pitched vocals are a serious turn off, for some. Yeah, they are one of those bands.

SHARKS

Losing the thrills over breakdowns and wanked too many times over the tattoos? Love punk instead. Sharks are crisp, classic and so easy to listen to. No frills and bare to the bone. A summer band with swooping guitars and clash vocals. They may be dated but certainly desirable.

Palisades - I'm not dying today

New Jersey punk band Palisades recently signed up with Rise Records and are set for a EP release in late January. What do they have to offer? impressive drumming to start, attractive vocals for mains and progressive break downs. yawn. Worth checking out if your itunes is bursting with tack-core and catchy metalcore is your staple musical diet.
