Something For The Weekend – Three (Free?) Sampler Pack

Tom

Three label samplers for you today all of which are available for free – well on a pay what you want basis. That should keep you busy over the weekend. Oddbox Records feature a lot on this site simply because they consistently put out quality releases on a regular basis. The originally named 2016 rounds up their output this year and there are choice cuts here from The Wolfhounds, The Manhattan Love Suicides, The Bellamys, City Yelps and plenty more. Facebook I also like a lot of the music that Emotional Response releases but for some reason, I have not … Continue reading Something For The Weekend – Three (Free?) Sampler Pack

September Round Up Time!

Tom

I have been a bit slack on posting these past couple of weeks but I have some good excuses for that! Firstly I have set up a new record label with my Sleeping Today Promotions collaborator. I have also been helping promote the next Culture Bunker night which takes place on October 22nd and it will also be part of the #keepingitpeel events for 2016. And on to getting back on track and the music that has been grabbing me of late. Indiepop supergroup (?) Tangible Excitement! will  be releasing a new 7″ single shortly on Freakscene (UK & Europe) … Continue reading September Round Up Time!

Various – Chrimbo With You

Tom

Emotional Response have certainly had a busy end of year. They have now released a Christmas Compilation which features contributions from label owners Stewart & Jen under a variety of guises as well as contributions from their mates. It’s a mix of the usual seasonal nonsense that these compilations generally bring but it has a large fun element too especially on the contributions from Summer Cats, Department Engineering Help Desk and Enemy Anemone. Out now for peanuts on cassette or digital formats. It’s only available until Christmas day. Homepage Continue reading Various – Chrimbo With You

Enemy Anemone / Cougar Vox- Split Single

Tom

Another day and another great release on Emotional Response courtesy of this fine split single. Enemy Anemone is Jen Turrell (Boyracer) who delivers three slabs of post punk inspired pop songs with the longest running in a 1m28s. Making slightly longer tunes is Australian band Cougar Vox who deliver the EP’s finest moment on the pop punk joy that is Cragieburn, a moment that should inspire you to jump up and down such is it’s infectiousness. The EP finishes with another punk/riot grrrl inspired effort from the latter that will certainly have me seeking out more of their work. Out … Continue reading Enemy Anemone / Cougar Vox- Split Single

Linton And Stewart / The Aislers Set

Tom

These are the first released recordings by Amy Linton, she of Henry’s Dress and The Aislers Set, since the latter’s farewell in 2003. On these recordings she is joined by Stewart Anderson (Boyracer). Unsurprisingly the two new tracks here, Looking For A Stranger On The Shore and Pigeons (download version only), sound like a fusion of both bands but given the musical history on show here that is hardly a bad thing. The single also features a mellow unreleased track, Big Ocean, Linton recorded as The Aislers set in 2008. Welcome back! It’s out now via Emotional Rescue on 7″ … Continue reading Linton And Stewart / The Aislers Set

The Debutantes – Adams Apples

Tom

The Debutantes self titled cassette was one of the highlights of last year. It has long since sold out but don’t despair as two of the tracks will be released as a 7″ single next month (and you get four of the five in an accompanying digital version). Excellent noise pop. Those over the pond can buy it from Emotional Response Records. UK/EU Buyers can get it from Piccadilly Records or Rough Trade. Facebook Soundcloud Continue reading The Debutantes – Adams Apples
