Yeah Yeah Yeahs -
Cheated Hearts
new single 4 Sept
Everybody's taking them off, rings because they've got cheated hearts
. "Sometimes I think I'm bigger than the sound" - this is a great track, crazy lyrics, abstract vocals, a pounding bass drum, a nutty stocatto arrangement - it's brilliant. See The Yeah Yeah Yeah's at the Carling Weekend 26 & 27 Aug in Reading and Leeds and then in Glasgow Victoria Park on 2 Sept. Deserves Top Ten. XXXX www.yeahyeahyeahs.com (Posted 11 Aug)
Jump The Underground -
Charlie
new single available now
Plenty of energy here - 172bpm - very Arctic type styling ... from Southampton & south Wales. Some neat production courtesy of Newport's Little Scamp music gives these guys a chance at some major airplay .. see them for yourselves at TJ's all dayer on 19 Aug, Calicot Festival 26 Aug, The Studio Bar in Merthyr on 2 Sept and at our Newport Meze Lounge Mad4it! on Saturday 16th September

Cute Is What We Aim For
There's A Class For This
new single 18 Sept
Invest in a ticket to see these Cuties support Paramore at Cardiff Barfly on Thursday 5th October, both bands are going to be massive. Cute Is What We Aim For's first album 'The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch' has just achieved record co's Fueled By Ramen's best ever first week sales ... beating Fall Out Boy, Panic At Th Disco, The Academy Is.
Paramore are irresistable and this is great. XXXX www.cuteiswhatweaimfor.com (Posted 11 Aug)
The Rapture -
Pieces Of People We Love
new album 18 Sept
Another superb new record .. five more storming, seedy, bass driven trax included here kick off with the excellent single 'Get Myself Into It', then 'PiecesOf The People We Love', Whoo! Alright Yeah ... Uhuh', 'Don Go Do It' and 'The Sound'. Catch New Yorker's The Rapture on UK tour inOctober, Nottingham, Brighton, Norwich, Belfast, Sheffield, Manchester Uni and London Koko

The Automatic -
Recover
new single 18 September
The Automatic follow up 'Monster' with a re-recorded 'Recover' - the song which became their first single a year ago.
To add a little variety to procedings, verse two is taken down to drum & vocals, Penneys trademark backing vocals much in evidence ... more than a little reminiscent of Russ Inner City Pirates (My Red Cell). Produced again by Richard Jackson whom I fondly remember ferrying back to Newport on the many times we worked together ten years ago .... ahhh. A great band and a great single - Top 10 for sure. XXXX www.theautomatic.co.uk (Posted 10 Aug)
The Walkmen -
Louisiana
new single 11 September
The desperate 'The Rat' is a cult classic, much requested. Two years on The Walkmen's second album 'A Hundred Miles Off' will be released on 18 September, a week before it, it's first single 'Louisiana'. if you expected a 'Rat' soundalike be prepared for a shock, this is back to the / our roots in some fashion. A kind of skiffling, shante and .. it's rather appealing. This could be a surprise monster coming over the hill.

Arctic Monkeys -
Leave Before The Lights Come On
new single 14 August
The Arctics return with another seedy story of the night
"you look different in the morning, let's leave before the lights come on, before you know what you've done" - Number One? Not sure but it's a winning formula at the moment - another top fiver. XXXX www.arcticmonkeys.com (Posted 10 Aug)
Cud - Rich & Strange
new album 7 August

Leeds favourite sons Cud are back with an Anthology lovingly collated with all the live favourites alongside some great rarities. All the singles including the Top 30 hits 'Purple Love Balloon' and 'Rich & Strange'
. Cud split in '96 since then a life of Emmerdale (appearing in) painting, novel writing, DJ'ing, World Masters Cycling and ... well missing being in a band ... that last bit looks likely to change. XXXX www.thecudband.com (Posted 10 Aug)
