So, I've been having an unpleasant few couple of weeks. I haven't had internet in my apartment since the start of January, my Mac double clicks everything when I hold the mousepad button down, (which in turn makes my windows dissappear when I don't want them to, I can't highlight anything, I pause my itune tracks when I want them to play, etc) one of my screen hinges are broken as well. Also- i...

Time for me to wave my puritan flag again ;)Swords Of Truth is the band's new single (released on May 5th)...how to describe it? The best I can do is say that after the song is over, what you expect to hear is an explosion that will blow your ears off, and yet you have no intention of backing away.I wonder what those old puritans would have to say about all this...

Who?These New Puritans hail from Southend-on-Sea, England, and they are here to assault your ears with experimental synth-punk, the kind of which you haven't heard in a long time.And I care because?- Their lyrics are anything but simple. This isn't your ordinary band of 20-somethings who will use 12 songs to elaborate on the meaning of love. Instead, they choose to explore numerology, infinity,...

MOGstars 8/10Bland, uninspired and identikit — charges often levelled at the slew of indie lad bands endlessly emerging from the peripheral towns of this sceptered isle. Yet Southend’s These New Puritans can hardly be accused of being any of these things, as they throw together the repetitive and experimental edge of dance music with the fury of almost bestial post-punk, producing a fractured

Nestled between the hip-hop hairdressers and amusement arcades of Oldham Street lies a small, slightly lost, section of the Lower East Side. So cool it was even mentioned on _Lost_ the venue is trapped in a timewarp of boho-chic. The doorman could be Eugene Hutz's bodydouble, the paintjob could be from a 1920's Parisian whorehouse and the furniture looks like it was salvaged from countless skip...

Another band marking the comeback trail are Southend-on-Sea's These New Puritans. They'll release Hidden, their second long-player on January 18th, 2010. Hidden will be the follow-up to 2007's rather incredible Beat Pyramid. We're reliably informed that the new album was produced by These New Puritans front-man Jack Barnett alongside Graham Sutton (of Bark Psychosis), and mixed by Dave Cooley.

Between Vampire Weekend's "M79" and These New Puritans' "Elvis," I actually want to jump up and shake ass here at the office - and I haven't even had my first cup of coffee yet!I like the tune by These New Puritans so much that I'll put it on this here post. TNP is one of those bands that does the 'dance music via rock band' thing. I don't usually go for that, but damn, "Elvis" is awesome.Hoor...
