Chris Leo's Vague Angels

This track reminds me of Chris Rea's Road To Hell. A great driving tune with a bit of South American influence I feel. It really is quite something and came from nowhere. Thanks to http://www.abadgeoffriendship.com/ who have let me post it for free download.

Jal & Schonberg in Sheffield Music Scene This Month

I've written about one of my favourite unsigned bands, Kalenko, in this month's Sheffield Music Scene but not only that but, occasional writer for 3WTM, Schonberg has also written for the online magazine as he covers Pygmy Globe Trotters new album. Check out our reviews on pages 144 and 214 respectively.

Tom Williams & The Boat - New EP

I'm a bit slow on passing this one on to you. Tom Williams and The Boat released a new EP at the start of the month. You can stream the EP below and download the title track See My Evil below. My favourite however is Get Older which has a real feel of Eels' Soul Jacker to it. Check it out.

Wild Beasts

You may or (more likely) may not remember that Wild Beasts featured on this blog a while back thanks to the Dancing Bear who helped me out with the end of the month playlist at the time. Well I came across another track of theirs the other day at Likesounds. Give it chance, it starts off slow but grows to be something really strong that reminds me of The Pale.

MP3: Hooting and Howling - Wild Beasts

Talking of bands we've mentioned before, you can buy Yes Cassette's single Animal and Gods on iTunes now...

White Lies: White Lies Return With 'Ritual'

This whole blogging on your mobile phone thing doesn't really work does it. Discover something interesting and click "share this" or whatever it says and all you get is a link put up as a post. That's not really adding to the reader's experience is it? Anyway excitement is in the air as White Lies: White Lies Return With 'Ritual' queue lots of people scouring the internet for any leaked tracks. They leaked very few when they were unknown, I don't think it's going to change now, sadly. If you do find any keep it to yourself, and send me a private email...
