James Arden checks out the garage rockers latest album.
The Christian rock band from Brighton bring religion to the masses.
Recipe for modern R'n'B album: liberal helpings of guest rappers and an overdose of sexual euphemisms.
Tipped to be one of Britain’s biggest bands of 2008, Royworld offer a style of eccentricity bringing to mind Roxy Music and Talking Heads. Their first single, Man in the Machine is certainly a unique sensation from the music currently polluting the charts, the teenage all-male bands who consider their regional accent as a charming gimmick (need I name any!), and their song leaves the listener reminiscing over the classic Buggles’ hit Video Killed the Radio Star. It is a song that will get in your head and not leave without a fight, but Rod Futrille’s deep (almost Crash Test Dummies-esque) voice does not fit the upbeat, funk-inspired tune.

Playful, excitable indie-soft-rock with more than a hint of The Libertines. Vincent, Vincent and the Villains’ new single does not fail to succumb to their indie-pop status with their new single Pretty Little Girl. This single is not going to cause a skinny-jean stampede to the record store but it does have the upbeat mentality of The Kooks with its cheerful summer-time strumming. These guys are playing at Leeds’ The HiFi Club on the 20th February if you want to check out their pretty little positive sounds.

The title of a track describes a lot about it sometimes. Here Sonic Flyer's single feels happy, relaxed, and bright, just like the title. The lyrics are simple and vocals are carried nicely by the female lead. Sonic Flyer sounds a bit like Sonic Youth (go figure) , except Flyer does not have 20 minutes of amp feedback and the female lead sounds nice here where Kim from Sonic Youth sounds... well... not nice. Definitely a single worth checking out this week.
