With so many new bands trying to make a name for themselves in Edinburgh just now Last Minute Glory are sticking their heads above the rest with their debut EP 'Take Time'. It's a light and airy Scots poptastic a la View, so to show they're ready to make a name for themselves they set up an EP launch party in Cabaret Voltaire and Ralph's man in Scotland Malcolm Parry was there to catch the show. [...]
It's been quite awhile since we've checked in with Australian duo Contrakids, but that doesn't mean these guys haven't been busy. They keep coming up with the synth-groove gems that are irresistible in some small way each time. With "Younger," it's when the beat kicks in almost two minutes through the song that makes me [...]
As long-time readers know, one of my favorite bands during the early years of this blog was indie folk collective, Anathallo . After releasing a pair of magnificent albums with Floating World and Canopy Glow the band unexpectedly went on a permanent hiatus in 2009. I didn't expect that such a brilliant group of artists would stay quiet forever, and I was delighted when I received an email last week from lead singer / songwriter Matt Joynt that he's started working on some new projects (including a [...]
As you may well have noticed by this stage we here at HMCMB tend to focus on new music. That is not to say that we completely neglect established artists, after all our primary criterion for selecting music is simply that we like it, and wish to share it. That is however tempered with an awareness that there's not much point in telling people things they already know, and as such most of the acts we bring to you could be said to be fairly new/unknown. We won't delve to deeply into what exactly makes an artist "new", in today's [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Contrakids – “Younger”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4057171_lg.jpg)
Tweet Listen to and download the new track from Contrakids , "Younger" , below. Contrakids have unleashed their third new track in as many months, which can only be a good thing. At this rate I can only assume an album is due any minute. "Younger" sees them picking up the pace compared to their last couple of releases, bringing back the driving feel of one of the first tracks [...]

Tweet First things first, the title of this blog post is an unintended pun. I apologise for any offence caused. Of course only French Husbands should be 'keeping an eye on' French Wives (and preferably their own), anything other than this is quite improper. Putting that faux pas aside (note my use of French there, I'm a funny guy) let's concentrate on this emerging Scottish act French Wives . French Wives have been slowly growing an audience since their beginnings [...]
"You can keep tomorrow, after tonight we're not gonna need it." If ever a lyric perfectly described a band then the above lines - taken from Young Hearts Spark Fire - is most definitely it. With last years Post-Nothing album Canada's Japandroids proved themselves to be one of the most thrillingly raucous bands currently making music. All it took was one guitar, one set of drums and a bunch of noisy, chaotic songs about being a little bit in love and a little bit fucked up; and I was smitten. The songs [...]
From Yahoo.com: "Beyonce's younger sister Solange Knowles had to fight to get her songs heard by top music producers - because no one wanted to be known for helping out the sibling of a superstar. Solange, 22, recently released her second album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St Dreams, but she admits having such a famous star in the family was more of a hinderance than a help as she struggled to win over big names like Q-Tip and Pharrell Williams with her own talents. She tells [...]
I saw a weird ad on TV the other day; it was with The Bodeans and they were promoting the state of Wisconsin. I guess music is a better sales tool than cheese or the Green Bay Packers. The Youngers are from Pennsylvania and that might as well be Wisconsin in my book. They play heartland rock in the same vein as the Bodeans and John Cougar Mellencamp, though their bio would rather site Bruce Sprinsteen and Woody Gutherie. Heck, I loved those bands, and The Jayhawks and the Gear Daddies too. Heritage [...]
Pennsylvania-based county rock band The Youngers don't sound young at all. No wonder that their named their sophomore album Heritage . They follow the traditional arrangements and sing about love affairs that end up in misery and driving along lonesome roads. They have mastered their instruments creating a warm down home sound, the kind of album you will be listening to on the porch with your friends, watching the sun go down. The bulk of the material on Heritage was composed by band leader Todd Bartolo , with the exception [...]
