Debut release from the Seattle duo. Download Zip File 1. Arnold's Song 2. Because You're Young 3. Precious 4. Harvest

Possibly the best quarter of an hour you'll spend this week. That's how good this record is. Seven tracks crammed into just under fifteen minutes and on first listen it might sound a bit messy and you might indeed be forgiven for not understanding what all the fuss was about but bear with it and by the third listen things will begin to make a bit more sense. This record is best played at the highest volume you dare but beware, your speakers won't be expecting the kind of sonic assault "They'll Say We're Only Dreaming" will deliver. [...]

Download Zip File 1. The Blanche Hudson Weekend - The Bitterest Clash ( Squirrel ) From the album "You Always Loved Violence" which is one of my personal faves from last year and if your one of the poor saps on this planet yet to get a copy you can buy the CD from the Squirrel Records website for a mere fiver.

No sooner does Ian Todd call time on his Telos project (the final album from which was published on this site earlier in the week.) than he returns wearing a different mask. Now celebrating behind the moniker Fearbox this is his debut E.P. Hopefully the Sunderland artist will lock himself inside a darkened room for the next month until a full album of this stuff is complete. Download Zip File 1. Silenter 2. Night Out 3. Stop [...]

This is a brand new album from Burning World faves Sunshower Orphans and it's probably the best work the New York band have yet produced. Twelve tracks of swirling guitar beauty and if the forthcoming Ringo Deathstarr album is a patch on this I'll be a very happy man. Download Zip File 1. Muffled Manor 2. Fire Flowers 3. Ghost Words [...]

Thanks to the nice folk at Bear With Me Records for making this available. The bad news is that this apparently will be the last album from South Sheilds (near Sunderland) based artist Ian Todd aka Telos. If this does turn out to be his last gasp I for one will be disappointed because as you will hear on this album the boy is not exactly running out of ideas. Incidentally this was produced by non other that Dressed In Wires which will probably give you an idea of what you are about to let yourself in for. [...]

"Former Babies, Moll Ball (AKA Mollie "boom tap" Reep) and Shawna England aren't musicians. They aren't trained on their instruments, they've listened to way too much punk rock, drank too many beers and have meltdowns on the weekly. These character flaws are what inspires their music. If it weren't for pesky brothers and shithead boyfriends the world would have a lot less music in it. They write cliché songs that describe what life is like whether you're a 14 year old girl or a 65 year old man. Shawna whams the guitar and [...]

I did start an end of year list for Burning World [...]
