i can't believe it, it's always like this

The first time I heard Bombay Bicycle Club's track "Always Like This" I fell in love. I haven't been this excited for a CD just from one track in a very long. Their upcoming album, entitled I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose, looks like it's coming out July 6th in the UK. Look out for these guys, they really make some great music. There is something about Jack Steadman's voice that I absolutely love. NME Magazine named them "...the hottest band to come from North London for quite some time." Really looking forward to this album.

love stay with me

just got my hands on The Veils new album entitled Sun Gangs and I'm really loving what I hear so far. Fronted by Finn Andrews, The Veils have been around since 2002. Sun Gangs will be their 3rd album together, which will be released in April. Finn has a unique voice which is often combined with his female band-mates making for some beautiful harmonies. Can't recommend these guys enough, check them out.

we are all embers from the same fire

Just Jack was a popular artist in the UK in 2007 and is back with a new album this year called All Night Cinema, to be released in April. He's probably best known for his big hit "Starz In Their Eyes," which was a catchy tune with elements of pop, electronica, hip-hop, and rap. He's back with a new single called Embers, which is likely to be another hit for the talented Jack Allsop. He's had some comparisons to The Streets along the way, and while I can see the similarities, he's a got style all his own.

and every night we'll watch the stars

Friendly Fires are a band from the UK who released their self-titled debut album in September of last year. These guys have gained some popularity over the last few months for some catchy indie rock. They've been a constant on my playlist for some time now and wanted to share with all you beautiful people. A little bit rock, a little bit electronica, a lot of goodness.

i don't know much but i know this for certain

since my previous Lily Allen post was deleted, thought I would try one again, this time with no mp3 downloads, of course. Anyhow, Ms. Lily Allen is back at again with a great new album called It's Not Me, It's You. This 23 year old bad girl is quite the fireball, but she makes some catchy pop tunes. Some of you may have heard her newest single, The Fear, playing on the radio these days; it is great track and probably my favorite on the record. I hope to see this cheeky girl in NYC next time she comes around. Cheers Ms. Allen.
