Not a new song, but a catchy one, from this band out of Brighton.

Great new single from The Black Lips. Typical Punk Garage Rock from this US band

Kasabian - Where Did All the Love Go?

Crazy Tornado action here in Toronto. More exciting then the music releases this week. Absolutely nothing out worth commenting on except the brand new single/video from Kasabian. Second single taken from West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum.

Little Boots - REMEDY

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McdqerXrwXE

New single from UK big thing Little Boots. Sounds very Britney Spears on this one. Prefer the first single New In Town.

Charlotte Hatherley - White

Brand new single from former Ash member Charlotte Hatherley. Good Indierock track.

Miike Snow - Animal

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niKT-kJfUz4

Jeff mentioned this band in a tweet recently as they were opening up for Lykke Li here in Toronto. And by coincidence, this new catchy single got released this week in the UK. Melodic indie rock/pop.

Deastro- Vermillion Plaza

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvrDCbu-aZA

Nice atmospheric eighties alternative sounding track from this band. Not sure where they are from as the band's Myspace page is quite cryptic.

Simian Mobile Disco - Audacity of Huge

Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ylu0ybj7DIg

Love Simian Mobile Disco but have to admit this new single took alittle bit for me to warm up too. Look forward to hearing the full length.

Kill It Kid Burst Its Banks

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTHrPQM5PP8

Melodic brooding alternative indiepop memorable of Shellyan Orphan from the Eighties. Out on One Little Indian

Lovvers - OCD GO GO Girls

More Indierock from the Lovvers on Witchita Records. The brand new single, from the forthcoming album, OCD GO GO GO Girls

Catchy indierock track

Architects Of Grace - Hot White Sun

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hObheDZmojs

Guitar drone ala Jesus and The Mary Chain or The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Nice.

Eyes on 3: Pitbull, Chicane, MSTRKRFT

1) Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2tMV96xULk

Slammin club track which has probably been around for awhile but got the full release in the UK just recently. Massive beat and catchy lyrics make this the song of the summer. Rumba.



2. Chicane - Poppiholla

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-phtXAyv5N0

Chicane keeps on churning out the nice atmospheric club trance tracks with an interesting but simple video for this one.



3. MSTRKRFT ft. John Legend - Heartbreaker

Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv0Z_Q9CLEM

Very nice piano driven indie-electro track from MSTRKRFT featuring the vocals of John Legend. Bizarre video about teenage shenanigans and love.

John Hughes is Dead

One of my favourite movies in my teen years was Some Kind Of Wonderful. Not only for the movie but for the soundtrack too. Probably the best John Hughes soundtrack ever put out. Featuring songs from Jesus and The Mary Chain, Stephen Tin Tin Duffy, The March Violets, Pete Shelly, Flesh For Lulu, and Furniture.

Rest in Peace John Hughes

Thecocknbullkid - Clean Apart

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU4EgR9OhYE

New Ep being issued State Side for Cocknbullkid. This is the 2nd cut off the EP Called Querelle. Curious what the first cut Kiss Kiss Kill sounds like. Released on IAMSOUND record label which is based out of the USA. Not a bad track though. EP also includes the earlier UK single I'm Not Sorry which we featured on this blog back in May.

Dakota- Wild Child

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tFFK3k9_U4

This sounds like someone and I can't place it. Anyone want to take a stab. I want to say Suede but thats probably because the guy looks like a Bret Anderson type of character. Sorta catchy but maybe alittle whiny Britpop. I can't make up my mind.

Doves - Winter Hill

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLvkqS_AyyE

New single from the Doves taken from their lates album Kingdom Of Rust....typical rock n roll indie pop....nice..
