COPY HAHO

Band of the week

Clocking in at five tracks, ‘Bred For Skill And Magic’ is a rare record indeed – one released early in its makers’ career but resonating with a completeness and maturity that many an act doesn’t achieve until a few releases down the line. With only a pair of limited-run sevens prior to this, Copy Haho are likely to be an absolutely new band to most who pick this EP up; and most who pick this EP up are likely to be impressed from the off.

Favors for Sailors

Favours For Sailors may hail from London, but it's obvious that they were raised on American indie rock. Their tunes recall the likes of Pavement or Weezer, but with a penchant for big pop moments. It's music that's made for playing at top volume on the motorways at the height of summer. The band's debut EP, Furious Sons, was just released last week on Tough Love Records. Keep an eye out for the band on XFM later this month, as well as several dates with Dananananaykroyd.

Song for the week-end

Last night’s Family Guy was hilarious. It was mainly Peter becoming obsessed with the old 60’s song “Surfin Bird” by the Trashmen, which is annoying as can be, and then he meets Jesus and tries to help him reveal himself to the world. I’d never heard that song before, but even though Peter sings it something like 15 times throughout the episode, we still cracked up each time as he did his little bird is the word dance.

Your twenties

Whenever a band splits or a member leaves, although you always know it will never be the same, you automatically hope something new will rise from the ashes. Thankfully that is the case with Gabriel Stebbing, the now former bassist of English leftfield pop act Metronomy.

Recently Joseph Mount announced Stebbing’s departure, saying the reason he left after three years was to focus on his own band, Your Twenties.Based out of the London (UK) area, Young Twenties are a four-piece who aren't quite as inventive as Stebbing's previous band, but use some of the same bent notes, choppy rhythms and sly pop sense. "Caught Wheel" shares the same angular spunk XTC injected into their late '70s period classics, with the studio shrewdness and melodic punch of celebrated Frenchmen Phoenix. As far as spin-offs go, Your Twenties should satisfy anyone looking for more of Metronomy's wonky goodness.

Beat it Mike!

Inévitable post...

We have all seen the facebook updates, we have all gotten the tweets, we have all clicked through to TMZ wishing they weren't true... but alas, Michael Jackson - The King of Pop - is dead at the tender age of 50 of an apparent cardiac arrest.

Love him or hate him, MJ was a legend and one of music's (and I mean "music" in the broadest scape) largest contributors.

Here some music :
