bringing bands to a new audience

[mcdoodle]

ok, so i'm feeling particularly lazy today, and thought i might start a thread on new(ish) or unheard of bands.
just put the bands name, album title, who they might sound like and top tracks on the cd.
I'll kick off with my latest fascination:
Peter, Bjorn and John, album is called writers block, sound a bit like bright eyes/ I am Kloot/travis, best tracks on the cd are 'object of my affection' and 'up against the wall'

I'll recommend Milburn and their album "Well Well Well" - they out-Monkey the Arctic Monkeys and are fantastic.

Also (if you like something harder) Gallows, from Watford.

I guess I should also plug my band: www.myspace.com/thelostweekenduk

Agreed. Saw em in Aberdeen a couple of mionths ago. They're utterly, utterly brilliant.

milburn and the arctics are big mates, have been since before they were signed. enjoy a bit of milburn though
gallows frighten me a bit, but i do like 'abandon ship'

will check out your band when i get home

I'm currently liking Cherry Ghost...
The Cd's called Thirst for Romance, single (currently getting air time on Radio 2 :) is called People help the People (brilliant)

Mcdoodle would appreciate the mention they did the live lounge where they played my chemical romance's the black parade

Did you play at Cosford's mini battle of the bands back in March?

I heard cherry ghost on radio 2 the other day got to say they deffo rocked.

I would like to recomend my mates band though, they are called Ezio (http://www.ezio.co.uk)
they play a bit of their stuff on line like a radio thingy.

Cherry Ghost are great - I'll buying their album this weekend.

We didn't play at Cosford, although we were due to - we had 2 other gigs in London that week and our drummer couldn't get the time away.

I should also plug The Polysics, a mad Japanese electro-punk band.

Check out the album "Polysics Or Die" with stand-out track "Black Out Fall Out"

as bexter says, try and check out cherry ghost covering the black parade, it is a truly fab cover, adn jo whiley said it'll be on 'live lounge2'. but you can hear it now on the radio 1 website

the cd is pretty good too!
