Panda Riot 2006-06-21 08:30:00 Yesterday a 6 track demo by promising Philly 2 piece Panda
Riot arrived in the mailbox and this morning I gave the songs a real close listen in the car ("Hits In The Car" *s*) on my way to work. The band is positioned in the shoegaze/dream-pop genre and it shouldn't take very long, before your understand why "the pandas" have been compared to the "legendary" My Bloody Valentine. The influence is quite obvious, so if you're a fan of the classic shoegaze sound, this most certainly is a band you should keep a very close eye on! The duo (trio if you add the drum machine) is currently working on a full length album, and if the demo is any indication of what to expect (the songs are damn great), it could easily end up being a fantastic one. Unfortunately no info is available on any release date (accordingly the record should be done by the end of July, and then sent to various labels hoping that one of them will release it), but check the webpage for news, shows (if you happen to live clos
The Quiet Department... 2007-05-10 11:44:00 Two Danish bands performing quiet/laid-back and acoustic inspired songs have befriended be over at Myspace. From the beautiful island of Bornholm comes the new band Majorian and in Copenhagen we find the more experience duo Astonishment. The later will release their second album called The Rest Is Silence in June, while Majorian still hasn't been signed to a label. In the quiet and thoughtful moments, when the rain is pouring down outside; put on your headphones and these gorgeous songs will make you close your eyes and help you drift away to somewhere warm and wonderful!+ Astonishment - That Man & Can't Hold On+ Majorian - Let's Grow & Don't Forget Yourself Read more:Department

Two quick ones... 2007-05-14 10:26:00 I'm very very busy today, so I have no time to write anything. But here are two really great ones and hopefully I'll be able to add a few comments later:+ Warm Morning - Behind The Curtain+ Michael - Today Will Be The SameAnd if you have a couple of minutes I hope that you'll vote for 2:26 by Green Concorde and help the band make Tjeklisten (vote here).+ 2:26
Another OMD Cover... 2007-05-18 08:40:00 Some of you might recall that I posted Klaus & Kinski's cover of the OMD track Souvenir 3 weeks ago and today I came across another OMD cover. This time it's If You Leave covered by (now dissolved) US indie pop band Free Loan Investments and once again I'm really not sure what to think. OMD used to be one of my favorite bands, so I've probably listened to this track a thousand times and never before thought of it as a twee pop song!+ If You LeaveAnd below a few other OMD covers previously posted in the blog (please feel free to drop me a line if you know of any other OMD covers)+ Klaus & Kinski - Souvenir+ Foretaste - Secret+ More Than Milk has a cover of Enola Gay by The Faint.Be persistent and it will pay off. Just found this superb cover of Souvenir by US indie pop quartet Brittle Stars. Actually the band's own stuff is pretty good as well and you can find several tracks for free here.+ SouvenirAnd that cover is taken from the 2001 album; Pretending To See The Future: A Tribute Read more:Cover
Last.fm - Stuff 2007-05-16 13:51:00 For a change I'm having a very quiet day at work, so I'm currently exploring Last.fm hoping that I'll find some interesting or unknown stuff. There's lots and lots to choose from, though unfortunately most of it is garbage. But every now and then I stumble upon something worth posting.....+ Anything Box - CleanSeems like this is a track recorded way back in 2001? Old or not, it's a really cool and utterly catchy new wave/synthpop track!+ Hungry Lucy - FearfulUS duo tagged as darkwave/gothic. Fearful probably doesn't fit that label completely as it is more of an up-tempo electronic pop tune. Originally recommended to me by FALK.+ The Cakes - QuarantineUK band tagged as a post-punk/punk-rock band. Sounds more like a new wave band inspired by New Order to me!+ Brooklyn UK - Paris HiltonNot any good really. Actually it's pretty bad. But I'm doubting that Miss Hilton will think of this as a tribute :)+ The Blind King - Indie Pop SongIndie/folk rock 8-piece from Boston. How can you n

Stupid Monday.... 2007-01-22 08:51:00 It's Monday
- It's snowing - I'm busy - I'm Tired - The coffee is cold - I cannot upload any files - I'm not broke, but I still cannot stop whining........You get my point - don't you?I wanted to upload a new track by cool Danish trio Oliver North Boy Choir, sent to me by the band, but I cannot make FileDen work. The track is also available at Myspace, but in the usual bad quality, so I asked the band to send me the track in a better quality and I received it within minutes. But the poorer version will have to do for now, until I figure out how to upload files again. The track is (apparently) "just" going to be a b-side, but like everything else I've heard from this band it's very good. Perhaps this track shows the band trying to distance itself a bit more from the sound of EPO-555, though the band manage to do it without loosing the charm and the catchy melody.+ CobraAnd if you didn't download them the first time around, here are two older ones:+ Something New+ AlbertinoChris Read more:Stupid
This and that (Swedish edition)... 2007-05-22 01:49:00 Download the opening/title track Welcome To Our Town from the new EP by Sweden's Cheshire Cat. This is energetic and very catchy indierock inspired by bands like Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure etc. So you could say that this is not highly original, but nonetheless it's still really, really great! To be honest I'm not quite sure whether this is new or not. The info received from the label - Stiftelsen - wasn't very specific to say the least. But according to the webpage the EP was released May 10, so I guess this makes it a NEW release? Perhaps re-release is the correct term? The Celestial album I mention further down is new, but features several older, but re-recorded tracks (including the title track). Does that make Dream On a new, old or re-recorded track? Any suggestions?+ Welcome To Our TownSwedish
label Songs I wish I had written modestly describes the new Moto Boy single Blue Motorbike as "the summer hit of 2007". With its interesting vocals and wonderful haunting
