Video: Indietracks 2009 in 7 Minutes by LastNightFromGlasgow The Indietracks lineup seems to be pretty much complete now (though a few more bands are still to come) with Everybody Was In The French Resistance...

I wasn't really prepared for this month's Music Alliance Project. I came backfrom holiday several days past the submission deadline, then had a mental scramble to decide what to include for England. Normally it's a stand-out from my previous month's blogging, but I was hardly very prolific in June so ...

Some of you expressed how much of a pain in the ass it is to sift through 26 [...]
Luna aceasta, la Music Alliance Pact, avem o piesa noua de la Melting Carousel, cvartetul indie pop din Timisoara, de aceasta data fara vocea feminina dar cu un sunet mult mai interesant. Melting Carousel se joaca cu jazz-ul in doze mici, dar suficient de concentrate astfel incat sa nu fie una dintre multele trupe de indie pop.
