Three quick ones...

Ta!; the previously mentioned Northern Portrait compilation album is out today. Been told that my copy will ship today, so hopefully it'll arrive before Christmas? Included on the album is the band's (how I wish it was) Christmas evergreen Leave The Trees Alone...


I Am Noxious has posted a couple of snippets of new tracks on Facebook. Great that new stuff is in the making, but it's virtually impossible to get any idea of what the new tracks will sound like! Meanwhile (the new songs should be ready early next year) check out this almost "legendary" cover of I Gotta Feeling...


My favorite Swiss artist (Lovebugs frontman) Adrian Sieber, has a new nice track out called Hurts So Good (no - not a John Cougar cover).

2 quick ones...

Work is pretty much fucked up these days and leaves me absolutely no time for blogging. Work pays the bills I know, but that aside it pretty much sucks!

Lovebugs has recorded this nice little cover of one of the anthems of my teenage years (recall kissing a few girls while dancing to this one...believe it or not!)...



The great The Boombox Hearts are in the midst of recording their debut album, which (I quote) "will be gloomy as fuck". This track has been judged "too happy" to make the album (which could indeed end up being a depressive mess, if this is too happy), so instead it will serve as an appetizer while we're all awaiting the release of the debut...

What a feeling...

Stream new single Jennifer Beals by Swiss act Lovebugs. Cheerful and downright catchy though I'm not quite sure exactly what the song is all about (I'm really bad at catching lyrics), though Jennifer Beals obviously plays some part in it all! From the album Life is Today, which I believe has to be their ninth (?)!

Shorts...

Admittedly things are not running as smoothly around here (and by that, I do mean the blog) as one could wish, but work, travelling, family and life in general is taking its toll. So be it and really nothing I can (or want to) change.

Still room for music and here a few quick recommendations.

First single Leave Your Body Behind You from Richard Hawley’s recent album Standing At The Sky’s Edge has been made free to download. Grab it, love it and then go buy the album. Sometimes life can be real simple!


Courtesy of Soliti Records the entire All Blackshirts To Me album by Cats On Fire can now be streamed from SoundCloud (for one week only). First listen pretty much blew me away…wonder what a few more listens will do!


The Boombox Hearts will release a new single called 100 (The Latest Flame) on (approx.) 22 June. I’ve had the privilege to give it a few advance listens and in a few words the song is not so sad (as one would expect), really catchy and totally awesome!

Lovebugs shares this lovely acoustic version of the track Truth Is.

Little boy...

Swiss act Lovebugs has published this sweet (quite funny and in some ways slightly sentimental) little lyrics/animated video for their new single Little Boy (album link). Will hopefully catch the attention of Danish music fans, as it features Søren Huss of Saybia on vocals and ukulele (check the video for more details)...and this is more than just a fine video, as the song itself is a really nice, catchy alternative pop/rock tune...
