Lydia Lunch and Suicide - Frankie Teardrop (Blast First Petite)

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

A curious one this.   A limited 10" split single with the 'A' side being Lydia Lunch's electro shock version of 'Frankie Teardrop' and the 'B' side is a version by Suicide.   The version being a 1976 Demo called  'Frankie Teardrop, The Detective Meets The Space Alien'.   It's released on Blast ...

Lovvers - Think (Wichita Recordings)

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

After reviewing Lovvers excellent 'Laughing Man' single on the old Indie-MP3 site back in February 2008 and stating it would be worth keeping your ears open for them last year, it's really inexcusable that I managed to miss the release of this 7 song CD/EP on Wichita Recordings back in ...

The Lazy Darlings

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

The Lazy Darlings are a Leeds based band who feature members (or ex members) of the likes of  I Concur, The Lodger (Tim Corbridge played the lapsteel on the wonderful Good Old Days) and Ali Whitton & The Broken Record Players. I have enjoyed listening to their songs this ...

My Teenage Stride - Lesser Demons (Digital Self Release)

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Another day, another band from Brooklyn, New York.  This time it's the utterly wonderful My Teenage Stride. The band has evolved through several revisions on the way to their latest self-released EP, Lesser Demons.  Back in 2003 the band was pretty much the work of one man, Jedediah Smith. It's on ...

A Belated Welcome To The Lostmusic Blog

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Welcome to the Lostmusic blog. Some of you no doubt have entered indie-mp3.co.uk into your browsers and have ended up here and are wondering what happened. Well the bad news is that indie mp3 is no more. I have explained this in more detail here (note the new archived address ...

Air Waves

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Another recent find on My Space are Air Waves,  a trio from Brooklyn, New York.  Air Waves seem to be the songs of one Nicole - these songs are folk tinged, without ever being 'folky'.   The songs have a simplicity that belies their charm and I'd imagine that the band ...

Lothar

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Lothar are the first Swedish band to make an appearance on the blog.   Those that read the old Lostmusic site and Indie-mp3 will know that Sweden was responsible for some of the best indiepop sounds I have had the pleasure of hearing these past few years (bands like Club 8, ...

The Jelas

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

The Jelas make spiky, awkward guitar music.  I'd go as far to say it's POP music but we can have that discussion another day. Hailing from Bristol (and surrounding area) - this three piece have been together since the summer of 2007 - describing their musical efforts  thus far : "We ...
