Don't let the title worry you... even though I do have an affinity for French music, this album is not in the less attractive language of English. Not much time to ramble on and on today but I wanted to take a second to bless you with a little musical sass to get you through [...]

Taking to the stage Pete and the Pirates front man Tom Sanders states that it has been a long time since the band were in Edinburgh, indeed it has also been a long time since the release of 2008's debut album "Little Death," but tonight in Edinburgh the band appear to have not been forgotten one jot as the tiny sweatbox of Sneaky Pete's is fit to burst with a sold out crowd eager to get their first taste of the bands eagerly awaited new material. Tonight's show sees the Pirates in [...]
We're no longer afraid of widgets. In fact, we spent several hours plowing through every one of them over at RCRD LBL and were rather wildly delighted to find the following downloadables. Some of them we already had, indeed had already posted--Oh, that Morning After Girls tune. . .mwah!!!--but our links had expired, blah, blah, blah, etc. We weren't sure if posting a long list of widgets would

I was completely in the dark about Fucked Up ..that is until Record Store Day(get there some time as long as you get there eh?). These maniacs dropped a "fake" album of fictitious 702s brit bands called David's Town .. which is a pretty chucklesnort concept ...so I figured.. I am down to clown..let us check em out. Fucked Up is not surprisingly, hardcore. Milwaukee residents.. think Call Me Lightening ..but .. more..well..just "MORE" and also from Toronto so there is that aye!. The vocals might getcha, but they are par for the [...]

Fucked Up's new album is shaping up to be the album of the year and we have only heard two songs! The first two singles released, "The Other Shoe" and now "A Little Death" are both pushing the band forward into this territory of poppy experimental indie rock with hardcore sensibilities which they started to explore on The Chemistry of Common Life and they are nailing it. We picked up their David's Town compilation for Record Store Day this weekend and if you can find it pick it up fast. [...]
![[Listen/Download] – New Song by Fucked Up – "A Little Death"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3370068_lg.jpg)
Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing up pieces for each artist and stay on top of the game, so hopefully this will alleviate some of the logs of rear. You'll still get the MP3s, pictures, links and fresh fruit that you've come to know and love around here, you'll just get less of [...]

In the lead up to the release of their new concept album David Comes To Life Fucked Up are releasing for free MP3s. The first of these we got a couple of weeks ago called "The Other Shoe." The second in the series is "A Little Death." The next in the series, is "Ship of Fools" out on April 26th, then the foursome is completed on May 3rd by "One More Night." The full 18-track album will be released by Matador on June 7th. Download "A Little Death" below and you can also grab "The Other [...]

"A Little Death" is the second track off of the upcoming David Comes To Life . Fucked Up make raw, hardcore music and they have been stepping their game up with each album they put out. We got our first taste of the June 7th release with "The Other Side" and this new track is just as impressive. This whole "rock opera" concept is turning out to be a good idea for Pink Eyes and company. FUCKED UP - A LITTLE DEATH

Fucked Up weren't invited back to Coachella this year, so they're rebelling/celebrating by staging a "bootleg Coachella" at the ACE Hotel in Palm Springs tonight. They've also released the second of four singles from their upcoming album, David Comes To Life . According to Matablog , the song, entitled "A Little Death", "plays against an underlying tale of resignation and defeat, and showcases a different side of this insanely multilayered album from the first single released a couple of weeks ago." How fun. David Comes [...]
Fucked Up's released the second of four digital singles from their forthcoming 18-song "rock opera" David Comes To Life . It's a bit more FU-like than the Brit Pop-influenced (and totally enjoyable) first single, " The Other Shoe ." This one works, too. Listen: Read More...
With the second single from the forthcoming David Comes to Life , it's starting to become apparent that Fucked Up weren't joking about this being their rock opera. No, lead singer Damian Abraham hasn't switched out his howl for a more elegant delivery. Rather, the grandness of "A Little Death" comes from its structure and instrumentation. The intro features throbbing bass and tom and guitars stretching for the rafters. The sound is arena-sized. The chorus, meanwhile, comes through as straight-forward and melodic as anything you'll hear from this Canadian troupe. It's the bridge, however, which really delivers [...]

It's been two years since Pete and the Pirates released Little Death , so personally, I've been waiting for them to hook us up with something new. As a Christmas special, the band have leaked a track from their forthcoming album, which is untitled, yet slated for a May 2011 release. The rhythm in the single, "Winter 1," definitely has a solid driving beat to it, giving the track a hell of a kick. Vocals sound a touch like the Mystery Jets , which doesn't bother me by any means. It seems [...]

Reading finest Pete & The Pirates are back in the studio working on a follow up to 2008's Little Death. Not familiar? Well you should be. Their unique style incorporates dark yet beautiful vocal harmonies with upbeat indie disco to magical effect. From anthems such as "Mr. Understanding" & "Come On Feet", to the more somber numbers such as "Eyes Like Tar" & "Humming". Each listen to the [...]

Here's a story. A long time ago in a galaxy far away, I met up with Little Death front man KC Underwood in a pub in Camden. He'd advertised for a guitarist for his new band and I'd responded. The upshot was he was nice and I was intimidated - the music he was touting about was seriously good. Chalking the meeting up as just one of many fleeting musical encounters, I've nonetheless kept one eye out as Little Death [...]

It's good to re-encounter a band like this. When I was still tolerating the ten random small time bands adding me per day on MySpace several years ago, Little Death stood out slightly more than the others. For a while I actively listened to them and tracked their progress. However, considering they were based in America, limiting their chances to play in London, and the lack of change to their songs, I soon went off them. Years later, having come across their name in the 2010 lineup for the Great Escape and discovering that they've [...]
Words: Gareth O'Malley A very welcome return indeed from these Londoners. Once a trio but now a quartet, Little Death are back with their first material since their self-titled mini-album in 2008. 'Just Say Maybe' is the lead single from the band's as-yet-untitled debut album proper, due out late this year, and it seems that they've definitely stepped up a notch. It was probably all the touring they did last year that helped, because this ranks among their best work. The track is a snappy three-minute workout, syncopated rhythms being thrown into [...]
