this week's post ...

Fratellis
Mistress Mabel
new single 19 May
Another brilliant ballsy single from The Fratellis - top Five I hope!

Johnny Foreigner
Eyes Wide Terrified
new single 19 May
A quirky tune, 3'40 almost spoken intro then a hectic attack a la Los Campesinos/Black Kids style noise clash, perhaps a little too messy to hit, but maybe

The Metros
Last Of The Lookers
new single 2 June
More quirky guitar based indie, as in their previous single 'Education Pt 1' witty lyrics like a modern day Monks 'Nice Legs Shame About The Face'. On UK tour throughout the month The Metros play at Clwb Ifor Bach on Wed 21st May. Verdict - nice and a strong maybe

Look See Proof
Discussions
new single 26 May
LSF have a 2'30", 188bpm thumper here which should come in handy when they play at our Mad4it night @ Cardiff Barfly on Friday 20 June.. chart potential for the future

Something In Construction
Building With Strings
sampler
Sometimes when record labels showcase their talent on one album the result is mindblowing. this is one such collection - 19 tracks each with an above average worth, to name a few irresistables ... Akira The Don punchy unique one man keyboard hip hop style continues in 'I'm Not Dead', A Million Billion's curious electro tease 'Wait Animate', Sambassadeur's indie flava 'Final Say', Emmy The Great's lilting accoustic 'Gabriel', Loney Dear's dreamy 'Take It Back', Silent Leaque's spookily anthemic 'Let It Roll' - this label has a brilliant rosta of talent - I hope at least one of these stirling acts make the breakthrough soon

Collapsing Cities
Fear Of Opening My Mouth
new single 26 May
There's a big nod to Joy Division here with an 08 twist and the 135bpm 'Fear Of' has some amusing lyrics about the doorman chasing but not catching coz he's too fat.. I can't comment other than to say track 2 the 141bpm 'All Your Friends Are Rats' is equally spunky

The Wireless
He's So Proud
new single 2 June
Another nice tune supported by young Tom Robinson of '2-4-6-8 Motorway' and 'Sing If You're Glad To Be Gay' fame on BBC6 Music, 198bpm and the accompanying 115bpm 'The Coward' are equally natty!

URBNRI
Back Me Up
new single 26 May
Another fine single, already scotland's number one ... 'Young, free & Simple' scored a Top 40 on their debut and this should go even better. Top 20?

Madonna
Four Minutes
Mixes
Yep that Bob Sinclair remix does it for me, the JXL is good but the Bob ... brilliant. Right now Madge must be plotting her 14th UK number one

Ladytron
Ghosts
new single 8 May
Seventeen is one of the most requested songs of the past few years and Ladytron have a loyal if culty fanbase which I feel could kick off bigger at any
moment. This is another single delievered with one ear on a classic cold Human League/Visage/Ultravox delivery, made for the dancefloor and deserving Top 40 at least

Pendulum
Propane Nightmares
Celldweller Remix single 28 Apr
No. 14 on downloads alone, a quite devastating riff from surely one of the most if not the most progressive outfits in the world right now - floor quakingly
awesome!

Skeletons
Oh Brother Oh Sister
demo
Unsigned Yorkshire five piece The Skeletons have demo'd three strong songs demonstrate great potential here. 'Oh Brother Oh Sister' is an edgy tune with a heavy undertone, 'The Bones Of JB Jeffries', now there's a title - a medium paced sparsely arranged tune and a thundering finale 'Bad Captain'. Very positive, good luck to them
