Nick Zinner – 41 Strings
This is healing my soul right now. Quenching my loneliness. I don’t usually post things like this and I’m not posting it because somebody said I should or that a press release was sent my way. Hell, there probably WAS a press release sent my way but I havent checked my gmail for awhile. Nick...
TEETH
THE band of 2010 already. From London, this is TEETH. Right in front of your face. Comprising of Ximon Tayki, Veronica So and Simon Whybray – a laptop, drums and femme vocals set up. [Video: TEETH - Confusion] Now before any of you scream: “Crystal Castles rip-off!!” Hear me out. Okay, so the track See...
Los
First of all, do not be fooled by that seemingly wholesome image. London’s LOS describe themselves as “an obscure mental band” but even that does not come remotely close to the immense intensity of their live shows. Its drums, guitars and a moog. No bass.

Popular Damage
SXSW have proclaimed Popular Damage “a poppier version of Yeah Yeah Yeahs crossed with Daft Punk.” Surely if SXSW gets that excited then I should too?You know what, I AM! Maybe even abit too excited. Totally developed an instant crush on Nadine Raihani the moment I saw this picture of her in a Mix Hell...
Oh! Electric Shock – Foals
Give A Fuck For A Fuck You Making insect noises with guitars. And definitely not indie. That’s was what this band, from the university town of Oxford here in the UK, once described its music. When Foals burst into the scene about a year and a half back, I was absolutely sold. Insectoid guitars, off...
