By Matt Jones and Tom Fake April 09, 2013 ‘Cardiff doesn’t really have any indie music festivals’, one of Wales Goes Pop! ’s organisers explains. It’s true - rock, punk and ska-punk scenes dominate the capital, whilst the indie gigs have a much smaller sphere of influence. Wales Goes Pop! is a direct response to this. The result of two passionate musicians using their own free time (outside of working for local venues) and hard-earned cash, it is an attempt to provide Cardiff with the indiepop fix it has been [...]

It's good to have a bit of nostalgia now and again. This is a great recording of The Primitives from Sheffield University on 10th November 1989 while they were out and about promoting their second album "Pure" which despite it's poor reviews in the press I thought was a bloody good record.

I'm a fan of collaboration, especially when it's executed properly. It doesn't take much to get me excited about Sharon Van Etten either, so when I found that Seattle's Pickwick was joining up with the lady love, I had to post the tune for you. "Lady Luck" is a Richard Swift cover, which uses the strength of Van Etten to push the song into a soulful flow of soft rock. This is just one of three covers the band recently released on a Covers EP [...]
This morning, Pickwick's Covers became available on iTunes. The EP features three covers that will sound very familiar to those who've had a chance to witness the band's electrifying live performance. Tracks are as follows: 1. Lady Luck (feat. Sharon Van Etten) 2. I Am the Greatest of All Liars 3. The Ostrich Pickwick's take on Richard Swift's "Lady Luck" pulls the biggest draw of this release. Sharon Van Etten's lovely croon adds a je ne sais quoi that even Swift's voice couldn't provide on the original version of the track. [...]
Una bella squadra di artisti di casa Elefant Records, tra cui La Casa Azul, The School, BMX Bandits, Primitives e Fitness Forever (con un titolo in svedese!) si è riunita per farvi gli auguri con la ottima compilation "di stagione" A Christmas Gift For You From Elefant Records . Si va da titoli come Bells to Ring and Jingle a Christmas Lights , a I Just Wanna Hold Your Hand On Christmas Day , quindi direi che non manca proprio nulla, compreso un Let's Make Christmas Love . Sulla [...]
Today we have another Christmas song, this time it's the Primitives with 'You Trashed My Christmas' , a genuine 24 carrot indie pop nugget that takes the bitter sweet Christmas break-up song and injects it with some vim and vigour. There's regret yes, but also a sense of angry defiance, a case of the truth opening your eyes and setting you free, after all a broken heart is just for Christmas not for life ! It's a tune that's set to be added to our list of perennial 'must play Yuletide classics' because it contains everything we [...]
>> It's taken for granted at this point, to the extent that anyone really talks about it anymore. But the best part about music blogging is the band that randomly emails you, that says "check us out," and that is totally awesome. It might happen two or three times a year. The last one that blew us away was our beloved Infinity Girl (who, of course, next week will open Clicky Clicky Music Blog's Community Servings benefit show at Great Scott in Boston). But last month brought another, Portland, Maine-based indie rock upstarts Endless Jags [...]
The Shrine are California through and through, embodying both the stoner grooves and the thrashy skate punk of the area in the 80s and 90s. The band's new effort, Primitive Blast , is their second long-player and is available now via Tee Pee Records. Primitive Blast features the Black Flag/Blitz/Thin Lizzy-style burner, "Freak Fighter," the subject of the new Scion A/V produced video which we're premiering below. "Freak Fighter" has no qualms with wearing its influences on its sleeve, clearly nodding to old skate videos and [...]
Quick. What band has released the most irresistible 602s style pop record this year? Did you guess The Primitives? You should have. 24 years after the band’s kitten-clawed iconic hit “Crash,” and nearly two decades after their official split, The Primitives have returned with Echoes and Rhymes, surely one of the most solid pop records of the year. Chock a block with singer Tracy Tracy's signature sugary-sly vocals and an unbeatable array of adept arrangements provided by guitarist Paul Court, the album is 14 tracks of blissful girl fronted pop restyled both [...]
Ah yes, The Primitives. I loved their fuzzy 'n husky late-80s single Crash , singer Tracy Tracy was on par with her 'blonde pop' rivals, Wendy James of Transvision Vamp and Darling Buds ' Andrea Lewis. Pitchfork rightly said that The Primitives were the role models for current bands like Best Coast and Vivian Girls. The Primitives reformed and made a new album, Echoes and Rhymes. It features covers of songs sung by girls, like 'Turn off the moon' by Lolita-actress Sue Lyons, and 'Single Girl' by Sandy Posey. You guessed it, there's [...]
An excellent set from Coventry's finest, supported by The School who's set was posted on here last week. It's particularly interesting to hear live versions of tracks from their new album "Echo's And Rhymes" which was released last month on Elefant Records of Madrid. Download Zip File Till You Say You'll Be Mine (aborted) Really Stupid Till You Say You'll Be Mine Spacehead Sick Of It [...]
Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the good times? Are you ready for the birds and bees? The apple trees? And a whole lot of indie rock? Well you're in luck because that's what we have here with the first mix of Summer Fridays 2012.* I am hoping to do these every Friday, though I'm gainfully employed now (we don't get summer Fridays at my job, unfortunately) and have a lot less time - and energy - than I have the last four years. Which is good! Anyway, we'll see how I do. This kickoff mix [...]
El sello Elefant Records nos brinda la oportunidad de volver a disfrutar con el sonido de la mítica banda The Primitives, el grupo que en los años 80 tuvo su mayor éxito con la inolvidable canción Crash y que tras diecisiete años de silencio, vuelven a publicar un nuevo álbum, "Echoes and Rhymes". En este nuevo trabajo no vamos a encontrar nuevas canciones del grupo, ya que se trata de una recopilación de versiones de temas interpretados en los años 60 por grupos de chicas, en la mayoría de los [...]

Here's a new video from Belle & Sebastian 's Late Night Tales Vol. 2 compilation.

Belle and Sebastian was the latest band to take part in the Late Night Tales , which is a series of artist-curated compilation albums of songs that the artist deem as the "ultimate late night selection." To promote their pick, Belle and Sebastian have released a video for their cover of Primitives' "Crash," which features the band performing around London as cute little blockheads. Belle and Sebastian's Late Night Tales can be streamed in its entirety over at LNT's official site . ( Prefix )
Como ya les habíamos platicado , Belle and Sebastian fueron los encargados de curar la nueva edición de LateNightTales . Para promocionar esta compilación Belle and Sebastian estrenó un video. Se trata del cover que esta banda le hizo a “Crash”, tema original de The Primitives. Esta versión de Belle and Sebastian es muy alivianada, alegre y buena onda, por lo que el video le queda perfecto, donde podemos ver a la banda en versión animada, miniatura y [...]
