Metric - Front Row (acoustic)

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q0Y3wtxWec

Another single from Metric's great new album Fantasies, which was released in April. This is an acoustic version of one of the ten tracks from the album. Enjoy.

Black Ace - Black Ace

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qck-s79efuw

Smooth blues track from the Black Ace (the boss card in your hand)... not exactly indie or dance but you've got to love the way that he plays and the fact that he is a true family man.

Betty and the Werewolves - DAVID CASSIDY

Tommy Sparks - She's Got Me Dancing



Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gghZdq5iaAc

Tommy sounds like a name of a rock artist from the early Eighties. Thats where the music goes too. This is alittle bit of a grower. But will have you dancing after a few listens.

Poppy and The Jezebels - Rhubarb and Custard



Fantastic Track from this 4 piece girl band out of the UK. Very jangily indiepop almost Twee but not quite....Sweet... Definately my single of the week. Unfortunately no video for this one so you need to hit it up on myspace. But definately worth the click.

The Maccabees - Love You Better


Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fs1wkwAMQc

Here is a situation where I listened to the singles from the first album Colour It In and didn't get it. The Uk band The Maccabees are about to release their new album Wall of Arms this month and hype it up with the release of the second single Love You Better. Fantastic Moody atmospheric piece of indiepop. The band is signed to Fiction Records out of the UK. I may just need to revisit the first album.

King Creosote - Coast On By

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vex-5ozOnYg

Nice single from Scottish singer-songwriter King Creosote taken from his Flick the Vs album. It has been indicated that the King has released over 40 albums. WOW. 3-4 albums a year. This is pretty agressive. He is signed to Domino Records. Very melodic indie cut from the King.

Metronomy 'Radio Ladio'


Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMjmxF58wFc

Quirky electro indiepop single from Metronomy which seems to get a rerelease as this track originally came out in 2007. Uk outfit who are also known for their remixes of everyone from Lykke Li, Goldfrapp, CSS, Love Is All, Late Of The Pier to Ladytron. Maybe this release is with new remixes? Anyways, the original is quite good. Check out the video below
