Jack White flies solo, this will be the first single from forthcoming album ’Blunderbuss’ who enters the world in April. The song ’Love Interruption’ sounds really good, catchy stuff from this dear man.

For those of you that already have fallen in love, and for those of you that still havent. The Head & The Heart, who made last years best album.

A recording from Austin City Limits, with all the magic that this band present.

Enjoy:

Tired of those same darned Christmas-songs you’ve been feed the last 100 years?

Listen to Rosie Thomas instead… She is giving us an early Christmas present – Remember When It Snowed.

Josh Kumra, the featured vocalist on Wretch 32’s no.1 hit single ’Don’t Go’, got something cooking. Likened to a young Ray LaMontagne or Ben Harper this Swindon-bloke really makes a difference.

Josh is now working on his debut album having recently signed to Sony RCA. We can´t wait for some expanded soulstuff from the man.

Listen to the track ’Call Off The Search’ – Josh Kumra feat Maiday – great, honest, heartful. Kentuckyseven says; dig.

Our dear friend Rocky Votolato plays his latest song – Little Spring – who will be the first single on his forthcoming record.

This one is recorded in Rockys bedroom,  great stuff as always.

If you wanna help Mr Votolato fund his album – check out Kickstarter.

Only days away, but still hauntingly far away.

Them good boys of The Black Keys let’s you listen to 5 tracks from the coming album El Camino (2011-12-06), just give em your email adress and you’re good to go.

The songstress Elisabeth Grant is better known as Lana Del Rey. Young New Yorker with a voice like gold. Her Pop-Noir is dreamy and dark yet crisp and sweet. It got me at first listen. But then again, I am weak in front of female voices carried by great tunes.

Her debut single ”Video Games”/”Blue Jeans” was released by Stranger Records on vinyl on October 10, 2011 and digitally the following day. Full length album is expected next year.

This is my friday-anthem. What’s yours?

Currently in the studio recording their debut, the new Simon Norrsveden project ”Ylva Bulldozer” release the first video.

John Wayne Gacy (fast tjej) eg. (-only girl), is great Swedish Indie Pop at its best. Catchy, great video and will probably be played on air, on heavy rotation.

Enjoy:

Surprisingly enought it took me some time to see it. The band name, and one of the main characters. Mark Dean, Dark Mean. But I got it.

Band members Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston started recording an album in 2007, and released it in June, this year. I am sure that we are the last blog to find these guys, but we found them at last.

Been listening to these fellas for quite some time, and I cannot seem to get them really pinpointed. It just keeps showing up more stuff, with every listen. This is some great work. I hear a whole lot of stuff in here. But the thing that hits me every time is the banjo and the brass instruments, the drive, the voices all blended together. Working its way through the well written, well performed great music.

Take a cup of Beirut, a pinch of Ryan Adams, some 80’s poprock,Indie,  Folk and plenty of love for the music. That is a start to begin to describe. You need to discover for your self.

Take a load off, take a listen. I know you’ll enjoy this. Know I do.
