Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Having recently stumbled upon HoZac Records I thought it was time to give the label a mention on the blog.  Based in Chicago in the US - they've been releasing 7" singles since the end of 2006.   In just over 2 years they have racked up an impressive 26 single ...

Help Stamp Out Loneliness - Torvill & Dean (Disques Papillons Noire)

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

I've caught this band a few times on recent nights out in London town.   They've divided opinion amongst my peers with some loving them and others, er, not.  Singer D. Lucille Campbell seems to be the dividing point with some loving her deep vocals, that recall Nico and Souixsie Souix ...

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 ...

Sarandon - Other People’s Records (Little Car Records)

Sarandon released their latest slab of  7" vinyl on Christmas day (via new label Little Car Records).  It's another cracking piece of pop music.   The 'A' side 'Searching For The Now' is typical Sarandon with added chorus singing from Emma Pocketbook  which gives it a distinctly 60s feel  - all ...
