Puzzle - Biffy Clyro

First to recommend

Description

The last release from Glasgow's beloved Biffy Clyro. It's hard rock with a taste for classic pop hooks, and these boys can rock like the best of them. They've been comfortably residing in the underground for over 15 years, content to be Glasgow's offical house band, but they're beginning to make waves in the mainstream.

The Future Is Unwritten: Joe Strummer

2 people recommended this item

Description

From Julien Temple, the man behind the brilliant Sex Pistols documentary, The Filth and the Fury, comes a new film about Joe Strummer, the mysterious and larger-than-life co-founder, lead singer, lyricist and front man of The Clash who died unexpectedly at the age of 50 in 2002.

I genuinely can't say enough about this film. If you're a music fan, and especially a Clash fan, it'll give you chills. It's a film that perfectly honours Joe Strummer while at the same does not romanticize him.

Fantastically visual and a fascinating look at a fascinating, charismatic man gone too soon. You'll want to rush home and crank up "White Riot."

One of the hottest new bands around. Based in Florida, hugely popular in the UK, and a sound that blend 60s pop, 80s new wave, witty lyrics, dance-friendly hooks and an organic sensibility. You won't know what hit you!

We Started Nothing - The Ting Tings

3 people recommended this item

Description

Currently The Ting Tings are the hottest band in the UK right now and their first album 'We Started Nothing' has just been released.

Electrifyingly rhythmic, sassy, charismatic, danceable indie pop - think Franz Ferdinand, The Kills and The Gossip.

Rockferry - Duffy

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Duffy is going to be the next big thing. Once you hear her you will know what I mean. If you are a fan of soul music, especially that wonderful British 60's soul, than you need this CD by Duffy! She is amazing. She has been compared to Dusty Springfield, and while I can see that she has her own unique sound. She grew up in Wales out in the country and did not even listen to the radio. She watched old Ready, Steady, Go videos of her parents, with bands on it like the Stones, etc. She did not have anyone to influence her as to what was or wasn't cool. She just determined for herself without outside influence what she liked. This CD isn't going to be released in the US until May 13. However, you don't have to wait and can order right now from Amazon UK. What are you waiting for?

Love It When I Feel Like This - The Twang

First to recommend

Description

The latest act to be touted "The Best New Band in Britain", The Twang blends rock and dance beats like the Happy Mondays, the Stone Roses and Kasabian before them. But the charm in this band lies in that they're a bunch of mates who are clearly overjoyed with their success.

Their CD isn't available in North America yet, so you can be the one to tell your friends "Have you heard of this band from England? They're amazing!". You know you want to! (via thetwang.co.uk)

Dragonette

First to recommend

Description

Canadian/British electro-pop band Dragonette have been tipped by many as ones to watch in 2007. Their music isn't terribly original but frontwoman Martina Sorbara is so chockfull of charisma, sex appeal, chutzpah, determination and intelligence this band has "IT" unquestionably - try to explain it, I dare you! The buzz about Dragonette and their first two addictive singles "I Get Around" and "Take It Like A Man" have won them a growing fan base which will only get bigger when their first full-length CD is scheduled for release in August 2007.
