another batch of tunes...

Good Shoes, one of my favourite new bands from London, have been infecting my head with their brilliant tune "Small Town Girl" for months now. Their new EP "We Are Not The Same" comes out this week on Brillie Records. It's equally infectious and addictive. Brilliant band. Find out more at their myspace site: good shoes @ myspace

Good Shoes - We Are Not the Same

Anyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am about this band. Here is the first new material from The Rakes since their debut album 'Capture/ Release'. The Rakes put on an energetic live show and singer Alan Donohoe is absolutely mental. They play NYC's Bowery Ballroom on March 21.

The Rakes - All Too Human

...and just so you don't think the UK is the only country I give a damn about, here are a couple deliciously cute indiepop songs from Sweden's Strip Squad. Their fantastic full length debut 'The Adventures of Strip Squad' is out now! For fans of Belle & Sebastian, Hefner, Magnetic Fields, etc... Enjoy!

Strip Squad - Hairless Youth of Bosnia
Strip Squad - Unreliable Narrator
