Songs I'm Enjoying

Echo Raptors - Plastic People

I'm aware I keep banging on about them, but not been this excited about a new band for a long while. All 8 of their Soundcloud songs are excellent but this one takes the biscuit for me, massive tune. Give 'em a listen if you haven't already.

IC1s - Whack Jack (Demo)

Another great new band, this one from West London and formed last summer. They have 4 songs up on Soundcloud, all of which are very good, although this one has such a catchy chorus I couldn't not include it. Expect a 'new band' post on these soon.

Viva Brother - Electric Daydream
I realise this may well be a controversial choice, as this band has attracted just many haters as fans. However, I fall into the latter category, and for me this is the highlight of a solid debut album. Bit of a change of pace from the rest of the album, probably won't convert any haters but those who haven't heard the band could do worse than to see what all the fuss is about.

Beady Eye - In The Bubble With A Bullet
This song has been out for a couple of months now, but I was away when it was released so only heard it properly in the last couple of weeks. This is a lovely song, and in my opinion the best thing Beady Eye have done so far, although it is slightly let down by the ending in my opinion. Give it a listen if you haven't heard it already!

Babyshambles - Maybelline
This unreleased Babyshambles song dates from about 2008, but I only discovered it recently. Great riff and song, up there with Fuck Forever and Delivery as Babyshambles' best song for me. Had to post a live video as there is no video of the demo which was posted online in 2008. Speaking of which, I have found this demo near-impossible to track down so if anyone has it please get in touch, cheers.
