"Stay Here" - Friendly Fires and Azari & III

Oooooo I do love a good collaboration, and I do love a good Friendly Fires track. Taken from the artistically titled "Suck My Deck" Mixtape from the band. "Stay Here" is composed by the band and Toronto based Azari and III, it has those classic synth rhythms which iced their debut album and i would have to describe it as SSSS (Some Serious Samba Shit).....made that one up, you like it? Listen to 'Stay Here' after the beep.

Maybe I'm Crazy - Monarchy

Okay so Amazon says that these guys are releasing their self-titled debut album on Jan 1st 2011, little early then for tracks to be leaked already. But hey, I'm not complaining. 'Maybe I'm Crazy' is exactly what a pop song should be, its catchy and fun but without being patronising or poorly written. Listen to what will be one of the biggest bands of 2011? after the beep.

Tiger Eyes + Cecile - Live Like Lions

Live Like Lions were the first great unsigned band that I saw live since I started writing this here blog and it's great to see that the band have produced new versions of my two favourite tracks 'Tiger Eyes' and 'Cecile' along with a bit of myspace profile eye candy to go with them. Check out these two nuggets of indie-disco gold over at the bands Myspace. If you like that maybe you wanna go check my review from the gig all the way back in October '09 (Its old so.......maybe.....cut it some slack in the quality department).

Echoes - Klaxons (Video)

This is Klaxons at their best, it reaches the dizzy heights of Gravity's Rainbow and Golden Skans, Maybe even surpassing them. As for the video it basically involves some pretty nice shots of epic desert-scape interspersed with the band playing as if all that sand was a crowd and the missing amplifiers were there. Watch the video for 'Echoes' after the beep.

Listen: Flashover - Klaxons

It's finally here, after three years and a complete re-write Klaxons have finally released new material. It was definitely worth the wait. Read more and listen to 'Flashover' after the beep.
