Picks Of The Week

The Raytons and The Lathums are two exciting up and coming British bands that have been on my radar for a while. Both have released a few singles and Ep's over the past few years. Neither one has released a proper album. This past month both released new Ep's. Both are outstanding. My only gripe with both bands is that they keep teasing us with a few new songs here and there, but nothing more. With this said....it is a small gripe. I will take what I can get.

Picks Of The Week

The Howl & The Hum, Human Contact 
After listening to Human Contact's opening track, Love You Like A Gun, I knew that I was listening to something special. While 'shape-shifting' (Atwood Magazine) through music genres, The Howl & The Hum's Human Contact 'presents a thrilling collection of profoundly honest short stories echoing past relationships, regrets, and anxieties that are seamlessly woven into the present realities of the digital world.' (The Line of Best Fit) 

DeadBlondeStars, DeadBlondeStars
I love Soundgarden. I love Alice In Chains. So along comes a band from Sheffield who sounds just like both of them. What's a boy to do? Listen of course....with a healthy dose of skepticism. After a week with DeadBlondeStars....I'm in. Great band, awesome rocking album.
