Another unheard of band (even by YouTube’s standards). Good track though!
This is a nice, easy-going, catchy little pop number. It reminds me of the good old days of Louise Werner and Sleeper, albeit minus the guitar riffs.
I know nothing about this band, but on this evidence, I’ll be investigating further!
This track was seemingly used on a Victoria’s Secret ad, the preview of which looked a bit too risque for me to watch at work. Catchy tune though.
I normally loathe Los Campesinos, but every now and again, you have to hold your hands up and recognise that somebody you dislike has done something rather impressive. This is one of those times. I still reckon it’s a bit of a red herring, but you never know — maybe this is a new direction for them in the post-Budweiser advert era.
Much as I hate to self-aggrandize… no, wait, I don’t hate that at all. This is my own band, Manhattan, performing our song “Monsters” recently at Blitz Bandslam. I think it’s rather good. You should have a listen!

Having a shamelessly Emo moment this morning, and it’s being dominated by Sleeping With Sirens’ “If You Can’t Hang”. It’s one of those slightly hyper tracks with so much going on that there’s a kind of sensory overload. Nevertheless, the melodies that come through are pretty alright, and it’s worth a listen.
Medz – Breathing For No Reason
I came across a clutch of new bands while in a Facebook love-in with 2XM’s In Colour. Whether you’re in a major touring act, or just a small-time local band, I’m sure there’s a thrill to hearing your own music played on the radio — I wouldn’t know, it’s never happened to me. Nevertheless, it’s startling just how little that you have to do in order to have about 20 artists pimp their music at you. Maybe I should just start a fake radio program, and then there’ll be no trouble finding new music?
Anyway, having shamelessly pimped my own wares, I decided to have a nose around the competition, some of which were rather good. Medz seem to be a kind of standard muddy rock band, but there’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you’ve got some good tunes. This is one of them. Give it a go.
