New State Radio -
Broadcast News
new EP
Here's another talented new band of indie/grunge rockers from Newport. Featured on 'Broadcast News' their debut EP are 'Lebanon Is Burning', 'Not Far From Fiction', 'Sons To The Guns' and 'Animal Farm'. Each song demonstrates keenly 'politically aware' lyrics and a strong sense of chorus. When you're that aware there's gonna be trouble .... XXXX

Twisted By Design
This Town Ain't Big Enough For The 22 Of Us
new album 27 November
22 new bands/acts from Cardiff and South Wales ... lovingly sampled, demo-ed, remastered and approved for release by Gary Twisted. The full colour sleeve / 24 page booklet features a 'showcase' page from each of the bands (Los Campesinos is shown here). This is such a great album, a superb bargain for a tenner, the thing is it only costs a fiver. Just £5 - order on-line at the link below ...


Pick your fave from Los Campesinos excellent 'Sweet Dreams Sweet Cheeks', Hornby Pylons 'Think For Each Other', Sweet Baboo's 'Crip To Be Square', The Loves 1 minute opus 'Honey', Kutosis 'Control Control', The Spencer McGarry Season or The Jan Watkins Band. Gary Twisted deserves a medal or at the very least major recognition at the next Welsh thingy Awards. XXXXx

Keane - A Bad Dream
new single 22 Jan

Here come Keane again with a fourth single from 'Under the Iron Sea'. The 73bpm 'A Bad Dream' is inspired by the WB Yeats poem 'An Irish Airman forsees his Death'. Written through the eyes of a soldier questioning his conscience as a human being. Acclaimed as one of the live highlights on their recent tour, it's serious stuff .. see Keane for yourself in Feb & March - Bournemouth, Brum, Notts, Cardiff, Sheffield, Manchester, Newcastle & Glasgow.

The Hours -
Back When You Were Good
new single 29 January
Yeah this is a classy single, a teasy title 'Back When You Were Good' is a 'laid back' near erotic 118bpm. This is A&M signings The Hours follow-up to 'Ali In The Jungle' and Antony Genn and Martin Slattery could well make the Top Thirty with this, their second single. Look out for 122bpm Beatles 'Tomorrow Never Knows' inspired UFC remix. XXX

Motor -
Bleep #1

new single

'A bontempi organ riff strapped to the back of a nuclear missile, set to detonate on a Death Star sized mirror ball'.
Around 120bpm and reminiscent of Rotterdam Terminator Source's 1992 hit 'Boing', which went 'boing boing boing boing' and scored Top 40 success. XXX (Posted 18 Dec)

Mr Hudson & The Library
A Tale Of Two Cities

album sampler

Mr Hudson, already unique having put Tony Hancock's Blood Donor sketch to music ... ups the ante with an insight to the debut album. An intriguing angle on most things, 'Ask the DJ' turns a little piece of small talk into an innovation ... kinda funky ... kinda indie ... mmm maybe. XXXx
