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!)

New band: The Beginning
We just featured this band over on Electric Roulette, but to be honest, I think The Beginning are probably worth a mention on here too. as we said over there, the band is the brainchild of Anders Ljunggren, a modern-day Swede, but a man with an obvious love of British […]
New band: Towerbrown
We've not done a new band for a while, but here's a good one – Towerbrown. Out of France and describing themselves as '60s Hammond Jerk/R&B/British Beat', they have a very authentic 60s sound – the kind of thing you'd expect to be pumping out of a basement club in […]

The Like – Wishing He Was Dead
The last single went down well on this site, so here's the new single from The Like – Wishing He Was Dead. Interestingly, the band seem to have got a lot of mainstream coverage of late, so this 60s-style pop single could make a dent in the charts when it […]

The Like to tour the UK
We featured The Like a while back in our new bands section, when we were intrigued by the 60s-inspired girl band's He's Not A Boy video. Well, if you liked that's there's a number of tour dates on the band's MySpace page, including a number in the UK. Those dates […]
New band: Men of North Country
Interesting new signing to the Acid Jazz label – Men of North Country. Influences vary from modern-day indie to old school soul. AJ are calling it 'gothic northern soul'. Not sure about that, but it's different if nothing else. Anyway, they hail from Tel Aviv and they have a self-titled […]
