Words: Saam Das It's September. Already. Another month goes by and another singles column is complete. As ever, ten of the best singles of the month and no dating advice to be seen anywhere. Or at least not here. Because that would be terrible. Anyway, the photo above hints at the winner of the August single of the month. To listen to that track and more, keep reading. Noah And The Whale - 'Life Is [...]
Tweetvaso link I've been talking a bit about Cosine Records lately, but that's mostly because I haven't been able to stop listening to their two singles. Granted, it's helpful that the two releases showcase four bands, so there's more to dig into for each single; but really, each one of the bands they've featured to...
Ok so technically it is not Friday for everyone right now but I think after you listen to what i have for you below you wont care what day it is! I take it the main reason you clicked on this post was due to the name Fleet Foxes in brackets. Yes like me that name sends small sparks of folk charged shivers down your spine. In a surprise to most fans lead singer Robin Pecknold randomly released 3 songs he had written on twitter simply because he had nowhere else to put them. Complaining? Hell no! [...]
Here's the fantastic sophomore release from Cosine Records, the digital-only label that specializes in splits. No B-side, just two A-sides. This one showcases the charming, ridiculously catchy indie-pop bands Atlas Genius & Athletes in Paris. Try to listen to these songs just once....I triple-dog dare you! Atlas Genius | Trojans Athletes in Paris | Borrowed [...]
Cosine Records sent over this beauty this morning, packaged together with Atlas Genius' "Trojans", which is easily one of my favorite tracks of the summer. That alone was reason enough for me to check it out. The band is comprised of, surprisingly, absolutely no athletes in Paris. Instead, they're made up of 5 guys from the Northeast section of England, right around Newcastle. According to their Facebook description: "Athletes In Paris come from the Northeast and sing in an accent too broad for anyone outside a 50 mile radius of Newcastle to fully comprehend more than little soundbites. To the [...]
Athletes In Paris From: Newcastle, United Kingdom Newcastle legends in the making Athletes In Paris have taken time out from their olympic 2012 preparations (surely some mistake - Editor) to chew the virtual fat with the Devil. In an illuminating interview they talk about how their band name has been handed down the generations like a family heirloom, their secret love of bands including the word boys and a collection of favourite words that may well be the indie lingua franca of the north east. [...]
Today's been a hell of a day for a variety of distinctly boring reasons, so it says a lot of Good Dangers' thumpingly melodic dream-pop that they actually have the ability to make everything seem at least 50% better. Maybe even 60%. We say that it's 'dream pop' mostly because that's how their singles label Cosine describe it, and they're our new infatuation so we'll stick to that, but to be entirely honest Good Dangers' music pounds at the temples with accessibility and angst, without the hazy, ethereal qualities of dream pop. At the very least it should [...]
Athletes In Paris From: Newcastle, United Kingdom At the risk of turning the blog into little more than a North East music fanzine here is yet another Newcastle band shaking the music scene to it's foundations. With vocals that sound like they've been soaked in newcastle brown ale and guitars that twinkle like the crown jewels on a sunny day 'Borrowed Time' is possibly the best Newcastle debut since Jackie Milburn pulled on his football boots. They might [...]
After the success of their debut single Borrowed Time, plus a string of shows all across the North East including a special Record Store Day gig, Athletes In Paris are back with a free download of new song Just Decline. Another track that features predominantly in their energetic live sets; pairing cutting wit alongside intelligent, highly observant lyricism. 'The first term, fifth page in my book, explains how, I found it hard to get it up' jokes lead singer Matt Robson, in a tone entirely reflective of Athletes in Paris smooth yet quirky manner. With Just Decline available to download [...]
Athletes In Paris - New Single: Just Decline Athletes In Paris have a follow up to their highly reviewed single, Borrowed Time . Their new single, Just Decline , has been released as a free download today, Monday May 9th! Already starting to get good blog coverage, Just Decline has been said to sound like Madonna's "Holiday" played by a primetime Britpop band. Along with the release of Just Decline, Athletes In Paris will be playing [...]
Think of North East music and which artists come to mind? Maximo Park? The Futureheads? Kubichek? All good artists in their own right, yet there's an underlying feeling with all of them, that when it came to jumping the final hurdle and shooting themselves towards the festival headlining slots, they all hit the proverbial stumbling block. After earlier this week meeting up with the new troubadours of North East music, Athletes In Paris, it's clear these guys are determined not to slip up anywhere alone their way to stardom. From their electric live performances, to their rock and roll swagger, [...]

Words: Saam Das I remember the joy I used to get from going from MySpace band profile to MySpace band profile and finding several amazing bands. The "MySpace trawl" has been somewhat scuppered by the diminishing profile of the site and it's probably been at least two years since I last tried that method of music discovery. But you can still happily trawl the internet for bands, which is how I found out about Athletes In Paris . [...]
Nobody's had this much fun in the North-East since Maximo Park released a decent single. Many a year, in other words. It's not much to go by in the way of cementing a long-term career, neither does it suggest an album of decade-defining proportions is on the way - it's just an immensely catchy tune, and an insanely likeable single and we just can't argue with that. We're hoping that the release of "Borrowed Time" in April is going to coincide with the national fixation on the Geordie accent caused by Cheryl Cole, and take over the country. For now, [...]

by teepoo Here's an upbeat track for your Friday. This was one of those weeks that just past by so fast and I wish I had more. It would be nice if we could have the option to tick in Borrowed Time . Athletes in Paris is a band from Newcastle UK and this pop gem is going to be off their April release called The Animal Farm . Even though I have no idea what they are saying partially in the first half of the [...]
