Kate Nash
Mouthwash
new single 1 October
Kate Nash has conquered, she's got family and she farts ... it's real life, it's reality and thousands are singing along - Number One wouldn't be too high an expectation!

One Night Only
You & Me
new single 29 October
It's easy to hear why Mr lowe made this hottest re4cord in the world, it's catchy melody with a jaunty guitar based jig, musically interesting with a couple of twists and turns along the way - boding well for a chartbound future Southbound!

Kharma 45
Come On
new single
I really hope Kharma 45 make it big, they have a way with catchy, lyrically advanced three minute pop songs and Come On is another addition to their collection, single coupled here with the awesome 'Politcal Soul'

Robots In Disguise
The Sex Has Made Me Stupid
new single
Great title ... dem girls got it, and I rather like the Midfield General's funky remix, I wish he'd transposed the whole song onto his mix but alas as has become customery with the exception of Leo The Sayer last year, it's just the chorus thumping home!
Sweet and normally oh so true!!!

The Hives
Tick Tick Boom
new single
Requested already, this is trademark Hives - cheeky, witty and spot on... Top Five maybe!

Motion City Soundtrack
This Is For Real
new single 3 September
Motion City Soundtrack do frequently get requested here
however they've yet to make big inroads on that dancefloor .... this new single is edging in that direction

The Fray
All At Once
new single 24 September
I saw these guys on the Sgt Pepper remake project awestruck to be working with The Beatles original engineers from 67 and trying to create their track true to the original. Their songwriting mastery and attention to detail is clear to be seen on 'All At Once', a third single destined for the Top Ten

The Sea
Love Love Love
new single 8 October
Love Love Love has a melody reminiscent of something ... perhaps modern punk is the best description although there is a 60's Stooges edge to this to - i love the sleeve design ripping off a 60s classic vinyl record label. Yeah maybe...

Siouxsie
Into A Swan
new single 3 september
Great to see, Siouxsie's as edgy as ever ... this could bring out the faithfull and the dancefloor with a tasty Andrew Weatherall mix

Travis
My eyes
new single 17 September
Hmmm Fran Healey and company chartbound again with another fine tune from The Boy With No Name

Bang Gang Deejay's
The BGD's are making in-roads and there is some awareness and curiosity of who they are, these mix CD's impressed our sound guy greatly so there's a good chance they'll be played between bands on future nights at cardiff Barfly.
I feel their veering toward dance as opposed to songs could however cost the some pure indie fans but will win them fans on the other side of the Spectrum
