Y'all is Fantasy Island Under appreciated, is the phrase that springs to mind when anyone mentions now defunct Falkirk outfit, Y'all is Fantasy Island. I am not going to start kidding myself that I wasn't one of the folk that didn't fully appreciate what we had until they were gone. Thanks to Wiseblood Industries we can all do some much needed catching up as they've re-issued the whole of Y'all is Fantasy Island's entire back catalogue digitally for free . This includes five LPs, totalling 55 tracks all in. So if you're not Home Game-ing this weekend, [...]

FOUND In what is inevitably going to end up being called 'FOUND's Friday Freebie', Chemikal Undergrounds latest signings are very kindly going to be giving away a free song every Friday (it's like it was they did that just for me - they didn't though), until the release of their new album in March. That's a hell of a lot of free stuff! As I am doing this in advance I don't know what the first track they're giving away is, what I do know is that you can download it here . [...]

and you won't get far on the tail of a whim ♫ My Cousin I Bid You Farewell - What We Are Eating Tonight My Cousin I Bid You Farewell aren't making things easy for me. Their name is one thing, and that blown-out gloom-face over there is the closest thing I could find to album art. It's misleading to, because that looks like it belongs on the MySpace of some Korn-covering goth-tween whose skin pigment is nearly as white. MCIBYF are anything but, leaning towards a deeper-voiced Arcade [...]

You're probably aware by now that we started this thing called the Music Alliance Pact. The Pop Cop's part of the deal is to choose a Scottish song to share with the rest of the world on the 15th of every month, and to celebrate MAP's 1st birthday (IKEA vouchers would be great, thanks) we've decided to compile our 12 selections to date in a single album for you to download for free. I know what you're thinking - that's 'The Best Scottish Album in the World... Ever!' Unfortunately, that record already exists so [...]

Once more, here is August's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. This month we've welcomed five new countries: China, Greece, India, Indonesia, and South Africa . This edition showcases 31 tracks from around the world. Once again I've gone ahead and [...]

Indiecision is proud to be part of the Music Alliance Pact - a collective of 31 of the world's top music blogs and webzines from 31 countries spanning six continents. Every month, each of these 31 sites picks one hot local song that gets posted on all these great blogs and zines.

My Irish pick this month: The Dying Seconds. ARGENTINA: Zonaindie Baby Scream - Ups And Downs Baby Scream is a musical project led by Juan Mazzola, [...]

MEXICO: Club Fonograma Selma Oxor - Abrazame Demonio Selma Oxor is the vindication of a blasted youth that has fun exploring rock, techno and pop, an all-in-one distorted vision that according to their MySpace sounds like "a cow giving birth". From their self-titled debut album comes "Abrazame Demonio", a moment of useless exertion perhaps, but it's one of the few perfect songs we'll get to hear this year. It effectively transitions its noisy [...]

It's time for this month's Music Alliance Pact (MAP), where music bloggers from all over the world go together and present favourite bands from their own country. This month, MAP is even bigger than usual. We're joined by bloggers from China, Greece, India, Indonesia and South Africa, and the number of participating blogs, songs and countries are now as much as 31! My own favourites this time includes especially the incredibly beautiful music from South Korea's Sunkyeol, England's brilliant The XX, Indonesia's sweet, folky pop from The Whispy Hummers, New Zealand's dark and [...]

ARGENTINA: Zonaindie Baby Scream - Ups And Downs Baby Scream is a musical project led by Juan Mazzola, with the ocassional collaboration of friends such as Cristian Basualdo, Sebasti疣 Rubin and even Gilby Clarke's bassist Muddy Stardust. Mazzola writes pop songs with a strong influence from classics like The Byrds, The Beatles and The Replacements. This beautiful acoustic ballad was taken from the album with the same name, released last year in the [...]

Strap on, folks - the Music Alliance Pact is guiding you into some of the most diverse corners of Planet Earth this month. We've been joined by five more music blogs - representing China, India, Indonesia, Greece and South Africa - taking MAP membership to an all-time high of 31 countries. Not only is that three more than NATO, it's six more than the number of nations who took part in this year's Eurovision Song Contest final. However, you won't find any posturing superpowers or neighbourly favouritism in MAP. It's one country, one song. And as [...]

El calendario marca 15 de Agosto y es tiempo otra vez de MAP (Music Alliance Pact), es increíble como va creciendo el proyecto, esta vez se han adicionado más blogs que incluyen a India, Grecia y Japón, increible. He estado preparando un post especial para la banda que representa a Perú este mes, las excusas no valen, pero el tiempo me ha jugado en contra otra vez, les adelanto algo. Serpentina Satelite se formo a finales del 2003 y definitivamente tendría que incluirlas dentro de la carpeta de "Bandas Interesantemente Prometedoras Nacionales" es perfecto [...]
