| | |
Jonny Cola & The A Grades
"Out Of Focus" - 7 inch | | Not what I expect, based on their name. I though they'd be retro punker. But No! Here's some euphoric loveliness in the vein of bowie/pulp/gene. A very nice surprise. Highly recommended. £2.99 Add To Cart More details
| | |
Thee Vicars
"Feel So Good" - 7 inch | | Taken from their recent album "Feel So Good" is a typically ace 60s garage stomp. Reminds me a bit of The Omens. You get the picture I'm sure: A slab of authentic garage revival rnb rave-up. £3.99 Add To Cart More details

The Wednesday Club
"Katapult" - CD | | Yet another quality release from the ever reliable Oddbox Records. The Wednesday Club have seemingly knocked out a charming album with the minimum of fuss. From the jangly indiepop opener of Trust Thing to the Ween-esque Citalogasm, they don't set a foot wrong, bounding between lofi c86 pop, alt-rockouts, countrified waltzes and acoustic loveliess with aplomb. "We continually punch above our weights" they croon on the Fanclub-like "Faulty Orbital Shaker". Self depreticating. Nice one. £9.99 Add To Cart More details

Gregory Webster
"Promised Land" - 7 inch | | New single from Razorcuts/Sportique chap Gregory Webster. It's acoustic balladry this time round with a big nod towards the likes of David Crosby and Neil Young, but still unmistakeably Mr Webster. Lovely. £3.69 Add To Cart More details
