Yeah, someone might remember, there was a band called The Subways with a big hit a few years ago. Its title was like Rock and Roll Queen and it appeared in an OC episode that made it an even bigger indie-hymn. Now, they should sign to Kitsuné change their name and a chorus like ‘be my tech-house queen’ would be awesome. Remixes would be on the way.

Nevertheless, here they are again with two new songs preceeding the album. The first one was Girls & Boys (video) which made some think about Blur but I don’t really get it. Who the fuck are Blur anyway? Actually I liked the previous single better, it had some really heavy guitars. Nevermind, the new single bears the fancy title Alright (video) and it sounds quite cool. I mean, yeah, obvious hooks like “aaahh-haaa” and the girl-boy duo vocals are sometimes cheesy but Nirvana-like guitars can be great and there’s some metal. Buy it when it comes out in June, the full-lenght will follow same month.

Can somebody help me? I mean, I like the Cazals and all since Poor Innocent Boys first came out but they are not too different from other punkish indie bands from London. Nevertheless we’ve already heard 4 singles from the upcoming LP. They are getting a lot of attention from the coolest remixers and NME apparently. And their guitarist, Luca, is making nice electro mixtapes. Rockstars can be into electro, that’s right. What of Our Future is coming out on 26th of May. Buy it when it does or pre-order it now.

Gonna share with you the song titled Comfortable Silence which is nice slow, atmospheric stuff with jingles. You also have the Kunk-guest awesome Blamma! Blamma! duo’s remix of Somebody, Somewhere which is, according to the Blammas “boot blower” and it certainly is. Drags and pushes like a windstorm.

I won’t post any more Cazals for a very very long time.

Super awesome everybody faves Late of the Pier’s new single is out and in addition to the track we all know and love, Space and the Woods, the accompaniment, Focker, is a doozy. It comes at you from about 15 angles at once in some meta-symphonic blast, and somehow also congeals quite nicely as a whole. If Black Sabbath resurrected itself to make video game soundtracks, I’d imagine it’d sound something like this. Go hit them up via myspace to get a hold of all their tracks in pretty digital download format glory!

The new single from Cazals gets heavy attention. Kitsuné did a really nice job getting artists to work on this one. On the single there’ll be remixes from many Kunk favourites: from Blamma! Blamma! and LIFELIKE till Moulinex. What an awesome release! Go and buy it.

I’m gonna post the Moulinex remix because we’ve been posting about the others recently.

Moulinex is Louis, an awesome dj guy originally from Portugal but he lives in Munich, Germany now. He grew up on great music not like idiot oldschool house or techno. He was listening to Pink Floyd, Moroder, Kraftwerk, Sun Ra. Of course he’s influenced by French stuff like Daft Punk as well. However, he is way ahead of anything Boys Noize ever made. He remixed kap10kurt, SymbolOne, Cut Copy, Xinobi and Cryptonites, lot of the bands that Kunk are fond of. Seems like they are gonna tour Austrialia with Xinobi. I suppose they are gonna have a big fanbase there. He must be huge this year.

If you wanna get into it start with the Cut Copy thing, continue with Xinobi remix, listen to the Cazals one and then move to his own songs, first Break Chops and then everything else.

The Wombats are a recent indie band from Liverpool, UK. They have their album out which is really cool and refreshing in the endless ocean of MTV2 bands. They have some hit singles and they climb the charts every time they produce a new one. And btw they are playing the Sziget on the 17th of August.

Backfire at the Disco is just going to backfire now. We like South Central, they made an awsome remix for The Whip and now they take the new - I think reissued - single from The Wombats and give it a heavy rave edge, it pulls like hell. Siren-esqe effects are definetly a signature. South Central = red alert. Vocals are nicely distorted and there’s even a melancholic guitar-slowdown part in the middle. This stuff was done with a lot of taste.

The Pigeon Detectives are gonna deliver a second album on the 26th of May. They are an indie band from Leeds, UK. They have guitars and they probably don’t use laptops. Yeah, in spite of Ed Banger, these kinda things still exist. Hard to believe, huh? The Pigeon Detectives are a totally MTV2 compatible English band with nice post-Libertines songs. They are a perfect uk-indie act. In addition they are awesome live. Their new single This Is An Emergency is preceeding the LP Emergency on Dance to the Radio label (Label founded by guitarist of Forward, Russia and releasing stuff from iLiKETRAiNS, Sky Larkin, etc.) on the 12th May.
