Normal Service Will Be Resumed 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Devil is off to Toronto for three weeks on a work assignment. You may notice a brief lull in the number of posts over the next few weeks but don't despair I'll be back with some Canadian bands that i have encountered on my travels. I'll leave you with a cracker from the UK...MolloyGenre: Alternative / Pop / ElectroFrom: London, United Kingdom Thanks to Tom at one of the best blogsites around Indie-MP3 for turning me onto the London based, dirty minded, angular pop duo Molloy. They are the front runners in the annual best song title of the year award for 2006 with their inventively named ditty This Is Fucking Brilliant, which has the unique honour of being both brilliant a brilliant title and entirely fucking accurate. Molloy are the product of a mad cockney scientist (why is it always scientists that are mad - would it work if it was a mad postman?) who wanted to create a new electro-pop supergoup by filtering The Rapture into a test tube containing trace elements of early Human Read more:Normal

The People's Revolutionary Choir 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The People's RevolutionaryChoir
Genre: Fuzzy RockFrom: London, United KingdomThanks to Abramson of the blogsite Sound Of The Suburbs for turning me onto The Peoples Revolutionary Choir a six piece from London who sound like Kasabian would if their demos were produced by Jim Reid and Ben Lurie from the Jesus and Mary Chain. They have the attitude of Oasis, the anthems of The Verve, the outlook of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the swaggering gang mentality of Exile On Mainstreet era Rolling Stones.

Normal Service Is Resumed - From Toronto 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hey after a brief period of absence the Devil is back alive and kicking. I'm still in Canada but have just moved in to an apartment with a PC and an internet connection and the world is once again moving!. I've been trawling Toronto
's record shops for new and interesting sounds and will be posting more soon. But for tonight I thought that an update on a band that have featured here a couple of times and one of my favourite bands of the moment Pale Faced Princess. They have been busy while I've been in Canada. Pale Faced PrincessGenre: Indie / Experimental / RockFrom: Liverpool, United Kingdom They have a new song ready and, with a little luck and a fair wind, they'll be posting it at their Myspace site here early next week. Keep checking as I'm sure it will be awesome and may just change your life. They are promising that it will be a lot different than the other tracks they have released so far. They are also in the process of shooting a video for "Keep Her Safe" which I'm sure Read more:Normal

Your Pretend Boyfriend 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Your Pretend BoyfriendGenre: Techno / Indie / ElectronicaFrom: Toronto, Ontario CanadaAs the saying goes when in Rome therefore todays post is a thumping band from Toronto. YPB's sound like the house band at a club run by Adam Freeland, The Chemical Brothers and Underworld. Their music is a veritable collage of spooky, slightly distorted off kilter vocals set against a crunching electro techno beat and dark synths.You can find out more, and download a couple of killing tracks, at:Your Pretend Boyfriend - MyspaceThat's it for today - off for some more Canadian adventures. I've not seen a mounty yet - I'm told that there's not many in Toronto!
Endearing Records 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In my search for the true Canadian indie experience whilst working in Toronto I stumbled upon a record label which has an eclectic roster which verges from the sublime to the, well, the even more sublime.Paper MoonGenre: Pop/Indie/Rock From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada If there is a huge hole in your life that has never been filled since The Sundays disbanded and The Cranberries disappeared off the face of the earth. If you've been fondly recalling those halcyon days of your youth bopping the night away to The Darling Buds and The Primitives. If you've been sitting eagerly anticipating the new Cardigans album then Paper Moon may just have arrived in the nick of time. Take a listen to the awesome Mercury Is Clearly Opposing Neptune and if it doesn't change your life then you should ask for your money back. which is the pop equivalent of washing your hair at Niagara Falls. There and I got through to the end without mentioning Tatum O'Neill!!!MP3 - Paper Moon - String Of Blinking Light Read more:Records
The Creyola Thief Genius 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Creyola Thief
GeniusGenre: Heart and Soul MusicFrom: Ipswich, Suffolk, United KingdomNo it is not a mispelling that is how they spell it. Joel Kurta and Jo Surzyn from Charlie Brown (who are now called Making Eyes At Elvis - do they have attention deficit disorder or what? I blame Sunny Delight) are in this East Angian four-piece who place a heavier emphasis on the guitar in contract to Charlie Brown's more keyboard driven approach. Listening to the tracks on their myspace site I'm reminded of early 80s angular political post punk popstrels The Au Pairs if they'd married Muse and gone on to have 2.5 children and a mock georgian Barratt House in Essex. These thieving geniuses (or is it genii - not even the dictioneries seem to know for sure - the English language eh? Don't you just love it) have just enough chutzpah, youthful exuberance and enthusiasm to plough their own furrow in the increasingly homogenized (or is it homogenised? let's not go there again eh?) corporate music

The Valentines 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Valentines
Genre: Indie / Punk / Pop From: Brighton, United Kingdom "Roses are red,Comics are funny,Here come the Valentines,now give them your money." Copyright Loafing Oaf 2006In January 2005 Christian Jegard, Gavin GaaGaa (which, I would hazard a guess, is not the name on his birth certificate) Jonny Hill and Tom Jordan formed a Ramones tribute band band called the Droogs. Finding covering Ramones songs too artistically limiting they started writing their own songs, changed their name to The Valentines and the rest is history yet to be written. They describe their sound as "romantic punk music with a crispy edge" like Toffee Crisp or a Lion Bar, but if you're looking for more musical and less confectionary based reference points then they sound remarkably like The Killers and the Strokes meeting Franz Ferdinand in Morrissey's living room. In a world of dayglo sticks and urchin raggle taggle vernacular rock the Valentine's skinny tie, 80s retro, mascara lined, indie doo wop may

Babies Who Hurt People 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Babies Who Hurt PeopleGenre: Experimental, instrumental, mentalFrom: Georgia, United StatesInstru-mental trio Babies Who Hurt People are another of those bands with a bold, brash name that presents a challenge to all but the most daring radio stations and labels alike. Apparently these babies think they sound like "instrumental with samples, selection with suppression, a nervous organisation" mmmmm. They are pitched somewhere between grunge and progressive techno, somewhere between Dinosaur Jr and Tangerine Dream. This is about as far as one can get from the soothing instrumental muzack played at the local spa to soothe away the worries of a warring world. Play this when you're going to sleep at night and you'll wake up a gibbering wreck crying for your mummy. This music should carry a health warning "Not For Those With a Nervous Disposition".Babies Who Hurt People have a CD out which you can order through CD BabyYou can also try before you buy:MP3 - Babies Who Hurt People - The Kiss Read more:Babies
The New Centuries 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The New Centuries
Genre: Indie / Rock From: San Francisco, California, United StatesIf arrogance and confidence was all that it took to become the biggest band on the planet then watch out for the New Centuries. On their myspace site they claim that they sound like "what The Strokes were going for and wish they were doing." I'd say that it sounds more like what the Killers are going for and have almost done. Some By Betrayl is their best track but it still sounds a little too contrived, a little too heavily influenced by the last wave. This is a band that have talent, this is a band that have the potential, they sure as hell have the arrogance and the confidence all they need to back this up are some killer tunes. The Devil has this on his list of bands to watch.MP3 - The New Centuries - Some By BetraylThe New Centuries - Myspace
Bits & Bobs and Other Stuff 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yes I know it's been a while but I have an excuse I have been working hard and spent last weekend in New York (how goods that?). Pictures will be included in future blogs (it's my objective to bore you all silly with my photos so take a seat it could be a long ride). So with all this going on time has been of the essence. Now that my feet have touched the ground I can start focusing on reality and return to my search for the perfect obscure, unknown indie band. I'm still in Toronto and have had a number of great emails from bands that I've featured on the blog.Markus from the wonderful Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring (who I described as a cross between Sice and Uncle Fester - sorry Markus) has been in touch. You can listen to a couple of incredible tracks at their website here and they are promising that next week you will be able to download a whole album from here (how good is that?).I've also had an email from one of my favourite new bands The Monolators (why are this band not
Promise and the Monster 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Promise and the Monster
Genre: Folk / Gothic / IndieFrom: SwedenYou will either love or hate the esoterically named Promise and the Monster. There will be no half measures, no sitting on the fence. Billie Lindahl has the kind of voice that will divide music lovers. She has the kind of voice that you either hear and immediately fall in love with or cover your ears and scream at someone to turn down that bloody racket. I love it. I'd like to say it's unique and original but it does sound uncannily like a more adult, less child like Joanna Newsom. Like Newsom, Billie manages to sound wide-eyed and grown-up, dispassionate and excitable and beautifully melancholic and wonderfully whimsical and she writes modern day dark and gloomy nursery rhymes that reflect the world in which we live today. Once you have finished listening to Newsom's new album and you are looking for a similar fix then look no further than Promise and the Monster.Promise and the Monster - Myspace
The Family Trait 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Family
TraitGenre: Rock / New Wave / IndieFrom: London, United KingdomThe Family Trait have been around for a couple of years now and deserve to be much much bigger than they are. Possibly dismissed as mere Smiths copyists they do bear an uncanny resemblance to Morrissey's former house band prompting one observer to comment that he thought two of their tracks were unreleased Smiths songs!! This is not surprising when you realise that singer Graeme Hughes has worked with Boz Boorer. But there is so much more to The Family Trait than a fixation with Mancunian glum rockers. One track on their myspace site (unfortunately not available for download), Sick With Desire, sounds kinda like the Beatles if Paul McCartney had been bi polar and living with a drunken father in a Liverpool hovel or Gene if Martin Rossiter had been a little happier with his lot in life. File under promising and watch them grow.The Family Trait - Myspace // Website
Al Hotchkiss 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Al HotchkissGenre: Psychedelic / Garage / Surf From: Glasgow, ScotlandA young singer songwriter who claims to be influenced by, among others, Syd Barrett, Link Wray, Bowie, Roy Orbison, Scott Walker and the B52s, is not lacking in confidence. But his confidence is well founded if the tracks on his myspace site are typical. From the Link Wray influenced Nuggets era psych garage wig out Channel X (which has more than a few echoes of the Acid Fascists )via Roadracers mix of Loaded era Primal Scream and the Electric Prunes through the surprisingly laid back, cool and soothing Flores to the, well, beatific Beatifics young Mr Hotchkiss backs his confidence up. These are songs that are the antithesis of anything covered in the NME these days and are all the better for that. They walk on the other side of the road to the Kooks, Klaxons and other bands that don't begin with the letter K, without even a doff of the cap in that direction. If you still use words like Freak Out, Far Out and Cosmic
Revenge Tragedies 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Revenge TragediesGenre: Indie / Rock / AlternativeFrom: Liverpool, United KingdomI am so pleased to say that Reid Anderson (that's a pop stars name if ever I've heard one), the leader and sole member of Revenge Tragedies, is from my hometown of Liverpool and, thankfully, sound nothing like The Coral or The Zutons . The exquisitely named Revenge Tragedies have (has) more in common with pop eccentrics like Luke Haines , Jarvis Cocker and Pony Club . Wake Up hints of Liverpool bands of old such as the The Lotus Eaters and The Pale Fountains whilst RRH calls to mind Captain Beefheart at his poppiest. This is intensely euphoric, passionate, bitter sweet pop music that makes you want to fall in love and dance naked in the street. Unfortunately none of the tracks on the myspace site can be downloaded (and therefore shared) which is a real shame. You'll just have to take the trip to his myspace site to hear them for yourselves.Revenge Tragedies - Myspace Read more:Revenge

Mitten - Secret Ceremony 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Mitten
Secret Ceremony
(CD-R June 2006)Forgive me for reviewing this so long after it's creation but I've only recently entered into the dark and eerie world of Mitten (Giorgiana Violante). I was intrigued by the thoughts of one reviewer who remarked that he would rather use a cheese grater on his knob than listen to Mitten which I assume was not a compliment (although you never know). Well Secret Ceremony is genuinely disturbing. It sounds like the soundtrack to a nervous breakdown for which there are very few obvious reference points. At times it makes me think of Joanna Newsom and P J Harvey covering Pink Floyd's One Of Those Days and there are some similarities to M Ward at his most lo-fi. But ultimately this is unique music made by an irrepressibly free spirit. The stand out tracks are To The Occupiers which is a vicious attack on yuppies and all they stand for and the almost lovely Teenage Girls On Nightbuses. The Mitten sound is so resolutely idiosyncratic and uncommercial tha

Our Tears Have Wings - The Devil's Recommendation 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The MonolatorsOur Tears
Have Wings
The Monolators (according to Wikipedia someone who worships only one God if you're interested!) are a husband and wife duo who deliver a delightfully raucous garagey sound that doffs it's cap to initial vintage punk. With the main songwriting, guitar playing and singing resting on husband Eli and the drumming (glockenspiel and vibraphone !!!!) duties taken up by wife Mary it is difficult not to draw comparisons with The W**** S******, indeed their second full lengther does little to dispel these comparisons. However look a little deeper and you will find an album and a band that transcend their older more experienced (blues) brother (and sister). As a second album Our Tears Have Wings is a far stronger, more eclectic, collection of songs than the W**** S****** second album, De Stijl. If history repeats itself then, by their next album, The Monolators could break through into the mainstream a la Jack and Meg.With such a strong album it is difficult to Read more:Devil

St Christopher 1970-01-01 00:59:59 ST CHRISTOPHERGenre: Glam / Melodramatic Popular Song / Western Swing From: YORK, United KingdomThis takes me back. In the late 80s I was a big fan of Sarah Records. There were three bands in particular that I loved, the much lamented Field Mice, the jangly garagey Orchids and St Christopher
. Two of the best singles released on Sarah records were You Deserve More Than A Maybe (great title even better song) and the amazing All Of A Tremble. Since the halcyon days of semi obscurity on Sarah Record St Christopher have continued to plug away recording for a number of the best indie labels including Bus Stop, Vinyl Japan, Elefant, Slumberland, finally ending up on Parasol which is owned by St. Etienne's Bob Stanley. After a gap of 10 years St Christopher have released a new album, Golden Blue. The album retains the literate, melodic and slightly melancholic sound of the early Sarah Records days but with a more world weary twist. There are hints of Suede (the English not the American versio
Dirty Electric 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Firstly an apology for the intermittent postings over the past few weeks. It's been a hectic couple of weeks with work, packing, travelling, recovering from jet lag and enjoying time with the family after being away for 5 weeks. If you go to my myspace site I've posted some photos of my time in Toronto and New York (I've bored the family to death with them over the past couple of days so why should you get away with it??).

Todays post fatures the top 10 tracks from the blog in the four months of it's brief existence.

The Electric Pop Group 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Electric
Pop Group
Genre: Indie / Pop / AlternativeFrom: Gothenburg, SwedenThe presents are all unwrapped, the mountains of unhealthy fat inducing food has been eaten (well some of it anyway), the thank you letters have been written to relatives who you haven't seen for many years and there is still crap on the TV. What do you do in the interminable period between Christmas and New Year? Well you could try the post Xmas sales or you could take a trip to the site of the Electric Pop Group for some post Xmas thrills and spills. If you pine for Sarah Records or early Creation (think Biff Bang Pow!), if you're sick of waiting for some new stuff from the Field Mice, if the recent item on St Christopher has wetted your appetite for C86, jingly jangly indie-pop then the Electric Pop Group could just be the band you've been dreaming of.

The old look had too much of a whiff of old spice about it. I hope you agree that it looks slicker, sharper and more in keeping with the site's aim to be at the forefront of the new music. Despite the change in look the commitment to bring you new, interesting and unusual bands playing exciting innovative music remains.

Navvy 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Genre: New Wave / Punk / Garage From Sheffield, South Yorkshire United KingdomAccording to their myspace site Navvy are modern-day Luddites who play skew-whiff, percussion-heavy, garage punk. Consisting of ex members of US ska punk band Texas Pete , ambient electronica group Wisconsin Death Trip and a current member of Art Brut 747 (not to be confused with the very similarly named Art Brut!) Navvy are at the expressionist end of the neo post punk continuum. Unlike many of the post punk bandwagon jumpers who looked to the Gang Of Four as their mentors Navvy's inspiration is drawn from the obtuse wing of the post punk army. If Nikki Sudden (RIP) and Mark E Smith had covered Pere Ubu's The Modern Dance in the style of Franz Ferdinand following a particularly heavy drinking session, it would have sounded something like Navvy. In a world of career oriented indie bands with marketing plans Navvy are a breath of fresh air. This sounds like music made by people who love making music for them
Sixteens 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Genre: New Wave / Experimental / HardcoreFrom: ZimbabweA first for the Devil, a band that claim to be from Zimbabwe but sounds like it's from Berlin circa 1977. Kristo Bal and Veuve Pauli's music sounds like it comes ready wrapped in leather with a whip and handcuffs in one hand and a razor blade in the other. Cheap synthesisers haven't sounded this good since The Normal released TVOD. Sixteens are not your typical run of the mill synth pop duo. Their jagged, damaged, alienated synth punk has more in common with Les Georges Leningrad than Depeche Mode and there is a definite whiff of early Suicide about them. Originally based in San Francisco, they have branched out to Europe where they are starting to develop a cult following of bored and disillusioned post punk refugees looking for their next fix. Unfortunately there are no tracks for download so you'll just have to visit their Myspace site to find out more.Sixteens - Myspace

Users, an edgy, brittle, cacaphonous art punk trio from Sheffield, England. The band effortlessly infuse the girl punk screaming of Huggy Bear with swathes of the avant garde art rock of early Roxy Music (neither of whom are listed as an influence!). Built around what sounds like an argument between Tom and the two girls most Service Users songs sound like they are going to fragment and splinter into a million irreconcilable pieces at any minute. This is the sound of three hyperactive people who hate each other locked in a room.

Wanadon't 1970-01-01 00:59:59 An interim post for today to enable me to let off some steam at the sheer frustration of dealing with Orange (formerly Wanadoo) Broadband. Why is everything in the UK so difficult? Earlier this week I got a confirmation from Orange that, following what I am sure were exhaustive checks, I had been upgraded to 8mb (brilliant I thought). Today I have come to use the internet and low and behold no connection. Now, as I'm in Canada and my wife and daughter are at home in the UK, it has become a lifeline in helping us to stay in touch and my daughter is using it to help revise for her exams. My daughter contacted the "support" desk and, after a wait of over 40 minutes and a couple of perfunctory checks, she was told that it was something to do with Internet Explorer 7 and they don't support Internet Explorer 7 so contact Microsoft. All of this is costing me money (and I assume making Orange money). This is a tactic that I have seen before from Orange. We had a problem with installing a Bel
