The most amazing thing about The Strypes is that they sound like they do, but they’re all around 15 years old.
New Bands
New Band: Paradise
Need to get the new bands thing rolling again, so big thanks to Tamar Berk for flagging up a band out of Portland, Oregon, going by the name of Paradise. Actually, she’s a member of that band.
Janice Graham Band – Murder
Remember The Dead 60s? That’s who I thought about when I heard the Janice Graham Band.
New band: The Broken Vinyl Club
Yesterday, I reviewed the new Hipsters 2 compilation on Acid Jazz, with a track by The Broken Vinyl Club being one of the highlights. So we’re highlighting this very band, who might well be big news later this year.
Miles Kane – full album stream
We featured Miles Kane in our new bands section a while back, mentioning that he had a debut album coming out in May called Colour of the Trap. Well, it’s available to hear right now online.
New band: The Shook-Ups
Nice to discover an interesting new band by accident, as I just did with The Shook-Ups (with a little help of a gig I was sent to plug!)
Magnus Carlson & The Moon Ray Quintet
Strangely, this had passed me by, despite me owning a single by the man himself some years back (a great version of Beggin’). I’m talking about Magnus Carlson & The Moon Ray Quintet.
New band: Houdini Dax
Wales seems to be the place to look for new bands right now, in particular the See Monkey Do Monkey label. That label was responsible for The Method’s Dissidents and Dancers album and is also the place where you’ll find Houdini Dax.
