Plastiscines – Bitch
Plastiscines – four female school friends from Paris, who create chunky riffs, and new wave pop tunes. It’s fair to say that when the rock band started out 4 years ago, they weren’t taken seriously by their Parisian peers. Single ‘Bitch’ is a slice of pure, unadulterated aural pleasure, a protest song against people who said Plastiscines were just rich girls put together. Ironic then tha

Best of 2009: Dave’s 111 Most Enjoyed Songs, Part Two
Here is installment two. I’m not expounding just why I like all of these in order to get my list done and not have you sift through a novel to get a few songs. I already know that I forgot tunes from at least one band (whose album is actually in this picture) so this list is likely a worthless exercise, but here it continues nonetheless. 66.

[MP3 + Video] Bromheads: “Magic Number”
When I first listened to “Magic Number,” courtesy of UK-based lamp-lovers Bromheads , I enjoyed it but at the same time wasn’t particularly thrilled. So I went back to saving babies from house fires, like any usual day, but I realized that after about three minutes the song was irrevocably stuck in my head. Irrevocably . So I listened again, enjoyed it a hell of a lot more, then did some det

Debut album "Home and the Wildhunt" is scheduled for release in February through E...

Ten for 2010… Punch & The Apostles!
Punch & The Apostles are without a doubt one of the best live bands Scotland has to offer! 2009 saw them relocate to Berlin after " catching their feet in the choking roots of the music industry ". 2010 will see them return and self-release their debut album which is looking like being something a wee bit special if singles "Asylum" and "I'm A Hobo" are anything to go by! Not to mention new MyS...
