Matinee is releasing a new Strawberry Whiplash 73. Here's the title track. MP3: Strawberry Whiplash - Stop, Look And Listen Matinee Records stuff will always remind me of my freshman and sophomore years of college. I was never absolutely mad about most post-C86 bands, but it's just such a fun scene in which to spend [...]

Strawberry Whiplash is a (side?) project of Bubblegum Lemonade's Lawrence 'Laz' McCluskey which, whilst very similar in outlook, has a poppier edge thanks to the voice of vocalist and collaborator Sandra. As the cover hints, Stop, Look and Listen is an ode to the 1960s, specifically girl groups and surf music. It's packed to the rafters with catchy melodies and is sweet as cherry pie. Just make sure you don't gorge yourself on the indiepop disco floors! Flip over the delicious transparent red vinyl and you get two more excellent tracks. In [...]

Here is our round-up of the best new tracks and releases we've collected from our in-box, our favourite blogs and the internet. This time we have the the sultry and gently hypnotic folk of Cate Le Bon , the raucous, boozy new track from John McCauley's latest roots supergroup Diamond Rugs , the brilliantly hypnotic and menacing track from experimental folksters Lower Dens , more enchantment and swirling, celestial folk from Julianna Barwick , some perfect Primitives style indie jangle from Strawberry Whiplash , and for contrast the brooding, gothic indie of [...]

It's another Saturday morning, so time for another dose of jangle-pop. Last week it was Austin's Literature. This week we go a few thousand miles to the upper right for the new single from Glasgow's Strawberry Whiplash . It comes in the form of a 7-inch single for better aural absorption. The A-side Stop, Look and Listen is another slice of sugar coated jangle from the band, harvested from the same cane fields as early Primitives and Darling Buds records. The single serves as a preview of their upcoming album Hits [...]

Strawberry Whiphlash es uno de los proyectos paralelos de Laurence McCluskey, escocés de Glasgow más conocido como Laz y famoso en el mundillo indie por Bubblegum Lemonade , su banda principal, con la que ha facturado dos excelentes discos. Amante del noise pop noventero y de los grupos del sonido C-86, forma pareja aquí con la vocalista Sandra, habiendo editado ya sendos Eps bajo este nombre en 2008 y 2009. Llega ahora el tercero ,"Stop, Look and Listen" , publicado al igual que el resto de sus discografía a través del [...]

Quando ricevo la mailing list della Matinée Recordings provo sempre la stessa fitta di nostalgia. Quella per un'epoca in cui seguire le band e le uscite era una faccenda quanto meno comprensibile , se amavi determinate cose. Tipo, ti affidavi a un'etichetta e quella ti portava avanti per anni, magari tra alti e bassi ma con coerenza. Certi cataloghi erano pezzi di biografia. Oggi, la notizia che il duo scozzese degli Strawberry Whiplash pubblica un nuovo 45 giri (rosso e a tiratura limitata) per la storica label californiana, e che questo è il preludio al [...]

It's possible that I might have talked about Strawberry Whiplash too many times on these pages, but hey, at least I'm not trying to force Thom Yorke down your throats? Luckily for you, there's great new news coming from our dear friends over at Matinee Recordings , who'll be releasing the Stop, Look and Listen EP from the Scots sometime in Decemeber (I hope!). You've just got to love Sandra's voice, and the strength of the production makes the band sound absolutely superb. [...]
Today is the annual Spil Dansk Dagen (translates to "play Danish (music) day"). Meaning that radio stations are only playing music by Danish artists and there'll be concerts in schools, churches, hospitals, on public transportation etc. (check the complete list ). My small contribution is to post what I (for the past 24 years at least) have believed is the best song ever by a Danish artist singing in Danish.

Summer is always quite silent when it comes to music and new releases, but for some reason, my inbox is well fed at any time of the year. This list of goodies from the recent week also includes updates from my Soundcloud and twitter. Keep updating me! Strawberry Whiplash has a new track available for download - "Another rainy day in Glasgow" Finland's Big Wave Riders will release their debut EP on the new label [...]

Strawberry Whiplash is one of those great band's that unfortunately seems to fly beneath the radar of the masses. I'm not sure why, as the simple pop formula of Laz and Sandra is nothing short of perfect, and you'd be silly to say otherwise. The group's been hard at work prepping their next album for your sunny travels, titled Hits in the Car , and it should be out later this year. But, you won't have to wait too much longer for new tunes, as the band is set to release a [...]

Boxstr continues being absolutely useless. Seems like it's (occasionally) possible to download songs previously uploaded, but for the past two/three weeks it hasn't been possible to upload anything. Happy I'm "only" paying for two accounts... Has Champagne Riot called it quits? Looks like it I'm afraid. You'll be missed guys, though I'm pretty confident that we'll soon hear news from Caspar (at least)! Grab their latest (and last?) song Alcohol Kisses for a tweet . [...]

Freut Ihr Euch auch alle so auf den alle Jahre wieder im Dezember losbrechenden Strom an mal mehr, mal weniger gelungenen Weihnachtsliedern, die jede Band heutzutage offenbar im Gepäck haben muss, will sie ihre Straßenkredibiliät unter Beweis stellen? Jedenfalls dürfen wir auch 2010 über diverse Beiträge zum Fest kostenlos in den Gehörgang schmeicheln lassen. Schön kränk ist dabei die «Last christmas» -Version von I Like Trains , die endlich so fies und abgründig klingt, wie es das Original nie geschafft hat. ;-) MP3-Download Pallers «Arctic hymn» [...]

Some of you asked what happened to the S-25 Mix for this past Sunday. Sorry, folks, we've been so busy with the holidays that we had to skip the S-25 for this past week.
