Another Sunday....another buffet. What more could you ask for? Aderbat is the brainchild of Matt Taylor from Doylestown, PA. They play silky smooth indie pop rock that pleases me every time I take it for a spin. Pick up there Man Overboard EP that's out now or check them at John & Peter's on May 14th in New hope, PA or at Pete's Candy Store in NYC on May 21st. mp3: Aderbat - I Need Someone --> website --> buy [...]
Myspace // "1000 Candles" [mp3] This Birmingham quintet may be the most professional and practiced band that no one has heard yet. Although the word is out in the West Midlands about Destroy Cowboy , they have retained an eerily low profile throughout the rest of their home country, which seems like a calculated move to me. Pairing up the epic rock of Mansun with electronic flourishes, these guys continue to impress with songs that are good, [...]
On Monday, I will be hitting Birmingham with the aim of killing two rather large birds with one stone. The birds? My favourite Birmingham five piece, Destroy Cowboy supporting my equally favoured Canadian five piece, Stars . Tickets? HERE .

About 8 seconds into Destroy Cowboy's '1000 Candles' a huge electronic klaxon kicks it. That sound announces the arrival of an important band. Fronted by affable publicity-machine Steve State, and comprising Andy Porteous on guitar and 'keys' (as they put it), Andy Moore on bass, Ryan O'Donoghue on guitars and Kieran Petvin on drums, this Birmingham five piece have been making waves for a while now. Unfortunately, with the nature of their sound, they have their work cut out for them. They aim high, but they don't falter. Destroy Cowboy possess an epic sound, encapsulating a diverse range [...]
I get lots and lots of mail from band promoters and from bands themselves. It's really great to hear that someone has read our blog and wants to turn us on to their music. I don't like everything, or sometimes it just doesn't fit our format, but there is a lot of good stuff too. Today I'll make a feeble attempt to catch up with some of it, international-style. House of Brothers House of [...]
Destroy Cowboy komt uit Birmingham maar klinkt erg Amerikaans: melodieus, subtiel maar wel energiek. Om een of andere reden doet de stem me aan Big Country denken. Download 1000 Candles en check het zelf. Koel nummer. Meer audio vind je op hun site of hunspace .
From the depths of the Licorice Pizza mailbox comes tonight's post. I don't know much about these bands other than I like the music and you should too. And since I don't know a lot about these bands, I'm going to carefully cut and paste from their respective Web sites, then provide you linkage in case you want to learn more. Lazy? Maybe. But I think you'll appreciate me for this! Destroy Cowboy 1000 Candles.mp3 [...]
Birmingham band Destroy Cowboy is in touch with the industrial heritage of their hometown. Labeling themselves as an electronica / experimental / indie outfit, they create echo heavy grumbling soundscapes. The keyboards are way up front with windswept guitar layers and a rock solid rhythm section. They sound huge, and they want to be huge.

Moulinex: I suppose, with the similarities in our names (my surname being Molyneux), it's high time I posted one of this German dudes uber cool, disco infused monsters. Here you go: MP3: Moulinex - Leisure Suit DOWNLOAD Alex Metric: Surely you remember this guy ? His superb remix of Metric's Monster Hospital engraved itself on my puny little brain. Well, he's done it again with this slick remix of Suburban Knights by Staines ska [...]
How do you feel about your location? Or rather, do you care where bands come from? Are you proud of your local music scene? Do you champion it purely because it's your local scene? Do you even have a local scene? Does the hometown of a band influence your feelings over them? Are you more likely to give a band a listen if you find out they're from New York? London? Manchester? Do you think a bands success or talent has anything to do with where they're from? My initial thought was that I [...]
What an absolutely glorious day! The sun hasn't stopped shining since my bleary eyes first parted this morning. Not that I got to see much of it. I, like many of you I'm sure, have had to experience it all by looking past my computer screen, over my desk, through a window at work. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the building's toilets are currently blocked up, leaving a distinct 'Eau De Sheet' to waft through the air. Mmmm lovely. Anyway, I know you don't come here to find out about the trivialities of my [...]
