Today's New Band - The Very Most 2008-08-18 07:38:39 GIMMICKS! Here at A New Band A Day, we love them - to the point that we aren't afraid of using cheap, near-moronic devices ourselves in an attempt to crowbar some variety into our shallow lives. Anything like that in the world of rock 'n' pop is worth a go, I suppose, and if it works and raises the profile of a good band, all the better. So: Today

Eyes - Today's New Band 2008-08-15 09:57:16 It's a truncated post today on A New Band A Day, due to the A.N.B.A.D. 'editorial team' travelling all over the place on a well-deserved* break, which will hopefully involve multiple BBQs on a beach. Though, as the aforementioned beach is on the north coast of Wales, it's more likely to be a weekend of staying inside to avoid the rain, drinking warm cans of lager whilst gazing longingly at the bea Read more:Today
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Today's New Band 2008-08-14 06:39:14 So after frothing at the mouth a bit yesterday over Band Of The Day Indica Ritual, here's hoping for something a little less mentalistic and more soothing today. And that's exactly what Today

Yeltsin, are. In many ways, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin are perfect A New Band A Day fodder - in so much that they fulfil all these precise and extensive A.
My Amiga - Today's New Band 2008-08-12 07:28:02 When I was a young 'un, before I bought a guitar and sat in my bedroom mangling Smiths songs and wondering if I could convince my parents to let me paint my bedroom walls black, i used to while hours away playing on my Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It had sticky rubber keys, 48k of memory and the games took five minutes to load off a C90 tape. It was my nerd-baby though, and I'm still proud that I complet Read more:Today
Insecticide Lobotomy - Today's New Band 2008-08-08 11:39:12 When I recently went to see My Bloody Valentine, the general consensus as we staggered out of the venue, wiping the blood from our ears, was that it was entirely unlike any other gig we'd ever been to. There was no moshing, no singing along and no middle-aged men standing near the back 'appreciating' the band, just a room full of shell-shocked gawpers struggling to comprehend the savage softness o Read more:Today
Stars and Sons - Today's New Band 2008-08-06 06:13:14 I sometimes feel sorry for bands. Not that sorry, what with all the booze, girls and urinating up against the Alamo that they manage to find time to do, but a bit sorry all the same. It must be tough to keep touring material that you love, only to find that either a) it doesn't fit in with the majority's taste; or b) they come under pressure to make it more in fitting with the mainstream. Some ban Read more:Today
The Seedy Seeds - Today's New Band 2008-08-05 11:25:33 A New Band A Day is, apparently, indulging in Americanophilia at the moment. Over half of last week's super-duper new bands were from the USA (scroll down for more, pop-pickers!), and guess what - today there's another one cluttering up your ears with sweet sounds. An astute reader can draw a few conclusions from this.Firstly, that A.N.B.A.D. band choices are entirely arbitrary and dependant on th Read more:Today
The TOP FIVE BANDS on A New Band A Day in July! 2008-08-04 10:04:11 Ah, July. You just whoooooshed by again in a blur of ice cream vans, newly-released schoolkids scuffing knees and day after day of relentless staring at the cloudy sky, screaming profanities at Baby Jesus, whilst waiting for a ray - just one single ray - of sunshine. Fortunately for those of you who are trapped in a similar tupperware-skied hell, July was a BRILLIANT! month on A New Band A Day, po
Today's New Band - Transmittens 2008-08-01 09:35:34 Rock 'n' roll depends on surprises for its excitement. Just look at Coldplay and their plodding snooze-rock as an example of how predictability ruins any attempts of thrills. This is why Chris Martin, who is, remember, signed to a multi-million pound record deal with the multinational company EMI, writes Fair Trade slogans on his hand, and names his children after fruit. No-one seems to have point Read more:Today
Today's New Band - Pre 2008-07-31 07:18:42 Anyone fancy taking part in a small scientific experiment? Great. Follow these instructions to the letter, please. First, bash your head against the table in front of you. No, go on - it'll be fun, I promise. Assuming your initial attempt was slightly cautious, now do it again, but harder. And repeatedly. But not so much that you lose consciousness. That would be bad.Finally, write down your findi Read more:Today
Today's New Band - The Shot Heard Around The World 2008-07-30 06:26:55 Yesterday's yummy, super-twee (but not in an awful 'Tweecore' way) band, The Bumblebees, got me thinking. Actually, they got me a-hankerin' for some more jangly indie. This hankering intensified when I accidentally subjected myself to a video of the Ting Tings' awful song Shut Up and Let Me Go this morning. Its ultra-hip, consciously-ironic, sunglasses-indoor idiocy made me feel all hopeless. Wher Read more:Heard

Today's New Band - The Bumblebees 2008-07-29 06:57:37 There's something to be said for shy and fey voices in pop. Whilst Axl Rose et al growl, howl and grunt into the microphone, spraying the front row with saliva that is composed of 40% ALL MAN, 40% TESTOSTERONE and 20% COME BACKSTAGE AND BLOW ME, BABY, not everybody's songs benefit from such overt, Jack-Daniels-and-cigarettes, oversize-codpieced masculinity. Anything that goes some way to redress Read more:Today
Today's New Band - Padre Pio 2008-07-25 06:00:03 Bands have perceived connections with the past whether you, or they, want them or not. If yesterday's new band, Saboteur, reminded us of the 90's - if not in sound, at least in spirit - then Today
's New Band, Padre Pio, simply reek of the 70's and 80's, sonically and, quite possibly, intellectually.And if that has conjured up images of 70's wank-rock or 80's poodle-hair-rock, then a) wash your min
Today's New Band - Saboteur 2008-07-24 05:20:15 When it was announced, I thought The Verve headlining Glastonbury Festival was a bit of a weak move - The Verve have been split and silent for years now; Richard Ashcroft's solo output has been the sub-MOR equivalent of dipping your head into a stagnant duck-pond; surely they're doing one more comeback for tax reasons, etc.Watching their headline set on TV, I realised that, fortunately, I was supe Read more:Today
ANBAD = The KISS OF DEATH - Today's New Band - Everything We Say Is Fact 2008-07-23 08:13:04 THE GREAT NEW BAND CULL CONTINUES!What is it with bands splitting up so soon? It's painful to see them cut down before they've even had a chance to be in their prime. Look at the past examples on A..N.B.A.D. - the wonderful The Royal We recorded a lone, brilliant, EP and then got all grumpy and split up and then, on Monday, the super Held By Hands imploded, leaving us with just a few, lovely, sad Read more:Everything

Today's New Band - GILDA BLISS 2008-07-22 04:53:59 The only printed magazine I bother reading is Viz. It's a comic ostensibly aimed at adults featuring solely puerile humour. One of its characters, Ravey Davey Gravy, features it's 'hero' in all manner of mundane situations - testing doorbells, walking past bleeping burglar alarms - and finding enough Rinsin' Choonage in the sounds have Have It Large. If there is a point to all this idiocy (and thi Read more:Today
Today's New Band - Held By Hands 2008-07-21 04:13:02 Much like a good joke, the outcomes of life's intricacies depend on great, erm, you know.... timing. We've all thought of the right thing to do or say just 10 minutes later than would have been useful - the witty put-down to the brainless idiot who mocked you in a bar, or the slowly dawning realisation that maybe saying 'yes' to an asymmetrical mullet may not have been the right course of action.T Read more:Hands

Today's New Band - Microwave Window 2008-07-18 10:04:48 Jesus Christ Monkey Balls, the process of choosing Today
's New Band was akin to pulling teeth. No, actually, it was worse - physical pain is only temporary, but the mental scars from today will never fade, and will lurk in the corner of my addled mind to taunt me again just when I least expect it. It was a classic example of one of those moments when you just can't decide what CD to put on, and en Read more:Window
Today's New Band - Copy Write This 2008-07-17 09:44:05 Short, sharp shocks. That's what you need sometimes. Not necessarily like receiving a one-inch punch to the throat from a previously hidden ninja when you pop out to the shop to buy the paper, mind. But an experience or - in particular - noise that shakes you from a slumber or from lethargy, is super-duper for all sorts of reasons. Laziness infects even the most thrusting young soul, and it'd be a Read more:Today

Today's New Band - Ten Tigers 2008-07-16 06:51:43 I like surprises. Well, to a point - those, "darling, I'm pregnant," shocks don't get easier even the 14th time around - but as a rule, happy accidents and unexpected pleasures are the best bits of life.Bands that spring a tasty surprise make me want to hunt them down and smother them to death with hugs, such is the prevalence of charmless, bland bands. So, usher in quietly Today

Today's New Band - Zombie Zombie - Bestival Themed Week! 2008-09-09 10:12:57 Having returned from Bestival yesterday, the most surprising aspect in retrospect was that the weekend of mud, more mud and a dislikeable mixture of mud and (hopefully cattle) faeces, did not actually dampen (GEDDIT? LOLZ!1!11!!) the intrepid A.N.B.A.D team/posse/masochists one bit. In fact, it was almost a triumph, and the Saturday night, after the powers that be had finally decided that we were Read more:Today
A New Band A Day Is In A Tent... Again - Part Three 2008-09-08 05:18:00 So by now, we're probably trying to swim back from the Isle of Wight in a vain attempt to wash the mud off before careering home. OR, in the unlikely event it was warm, sunny and dry, we'll be feeling like the smuggest people on the planet. Somewhere in between the two is most likely. So, tomorrow, there'll be an exciting update on which were the best bands we saw at Bestival, before filling you i Read more:Again

Today's New Band - Soft Toy Emergency 2008-09-03 04:53:01 Firstly, please accept A.N.B.A.D.'s huge, sloppy kisses, wilted flowers and drunken apologies for their being no Band of the Day yesterday. It's never happened before, and it won't happen again, I promise. In fact, the litany of problems and unforeseen issues that stopped anything being posted was so ridiculously unlikely, It can't happen again.As way of further apology, we've managed to rustle up Read more:Emergency
