Who Does This Remind You Of?

New music by two sister from Dalston, who are apparently named after their favourite moment in a Melvins song which I find hard to believe, is it possible for two siblings to agree on anything apart from how much their parents annoy them? Anyway this is rather good but it does remind me of two dysfunctional siblings from East Kilbride, well if they had been female obviously.

Eastern Conference Champions

I was alerted to the existence of the Eastern Conference Champions a few weeks ago. I was sent a link to a track by a PR company. The majority of the stuff I get sent is not really my cup of tea and I didn't start this blog to pimp for PR companies anyway but when I played the track I really liked it and decided to investigate further.

It seems that the band have been going for a wee while, forming in 2005 in Philadelphia but now resident in California. In the 5 odd years that they have been going they have released a brace of singles, a couple of eps a full length album and a track on the soundtrack album to the third film in the Twilight series but don't hold that against them.

I got a hold of the last two eps, Sante Fe released in 2009 and 2010s, Akustiks both of which have been played quite a lot over the past few days. I suppose you could call them indie rock but these days that tag just about covers all bases. I don't really like comparing bands to others anyway. If you are interested give these tracks a listen, one from both releases mentioned above, I think that you may like them. I know my mate Gav of the Scuffers fame will like this.

Oh, and look out for the new full length album which will be released later this year.

And Yet More New Music.

Got this, this morning, more electro pop but with a dubstep make over absolutely gorgeous.

La Roux - In For The Kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey Mix)

New Music - Chew Lips

Saw this mob last night along with the Joy Formidable, who were brilliant but couldn't be arsed waiting around for Howling Bells (the headline).

Shit name and the singer got on my nerves but a good sound none the less, kind of lo-fi electro pop, the wife thinks they sound like the Ting Tings, I'm not sure if they are that contrived.
