The Feeling -
Love It When You Call new single 20 November
A great year for The Feeling who release a fourth single from 'Twelve Stops & Home' as they UK tour throughout November. 'Love It When You Call' is another stand out track which should see a Top Twenty position easily enough, see them in Cardiff University on the 12th November. XXXx thefeeling.com

Freelance Hellraiser -
Weightlessness new single
The Freelance Hellraiser aka 32 year old Billericay boy Roy Kerr has more than a finger on the electro pulse. Check 'A Punk Rock Version Of God' at his myspace below and listen out for the new single 'Weightlessness'. This guy's heading for the top and has been consistently upping the ante since splicing The Strokes 'Hard To Explain' with Christina Aguilera's 'Genie In A Bottle', rechristening it 'A Stroke Of Genius'. 'Weightlessness' comes from Roy's first album 'Waiting For Clearance'. Floorfilling! XXXX myspace.com/freelancehellraiser

Down Beside Your Beauty new album 6 November
"This band exists to talk about the things you go through when you confront the big stuff: love, regret, fear," says Ken Griffin, the singer and principle songwriter of Favourite Sons. "We've been right to that edge, pushed through it and now we're back to show people the other side, as brutal as it might be."
As the creative force behind the hugely influential (and criminally overlooked) 90s art rock band, Rollerskate Skinny (Beggars UK/Sire US), Griffin certainly speaks from experience. The same can be said for the four other Sons, who spent years cutting their chops with the Philly-based psych-pop group Aspera (Jagjaguwar Records) before relocating to New York in 2004 after parting ways with their singer.

Flaming Lips -
It Overtakes Me
new single 20 November
A funky old bass riff, edgy vocals segued into what is virtually a different song. Very arty and perhaps a surprise biggy but quite lengthy at 5'30". XXXX flaminglips.com (Posted 28 Oct)
Killswitch Engage -
As Daylight Dies
new album 20 November
From New England's hardcore scene comes KsE's trademark aggression, melody, rock and metal. 'As Daylight Dies' the follow-up to 'The End Of Heatache' comes in a hectic year for the band ... Download, Reading/Leeds their own Taste Of Chaos tour and a grammy nomination. No shortcuts, no compromises, no bullshit - listen out for the first single 'My Curse'.

Makeshift Feelgod
new album 16 October
A fine collection of offbeat floorfilling material, right from opening track featuring Lambchop's Kurt Wagner through to the briliant single Kill 100 this is a quality listen. Coming soon the Xpress 2 remix of Faithless new single 'Bombs'. XXXX xpress2.com (Posted 28 Oct)
Luke Toms -
Fools With Money
new EP 4 December
Singer songwriter Luke Toms was born in 1904, faked his own death in 2005 and currently resides in London, where he explores life and pre-war jazz. A rather unique experience ... a little Tom Waits, some Viv Stanshall, a bit of Freddie Mercury, ELO ... plenty of ideas and joi de vivre - one to watch. XXXx myspace.com/luketoms (Posted 28 Oct)
Dragonforce -
Operation Ground & Pound new single 27 October
Iron Maiden man Bruce Dickinson has given his blessing to Dragonforce, championing their power metal on his BBC6 Music show. New single 'Operation Ground & Pound' arrives in time for their 15 date UK tour starting in Belfast on 16 Nov, taking in Cardiff Uni on Mon 4 Dec and winding up at London Astoria on 14 Dec. Powerful stuff! XXXx dragonforce.com (Posted 28 Oct)
Josh Pyke -
Feeding The Wolves new single 23 October
Sydney, Australian Josh Pyke releases his debut mini album 'Feeding The Wolves' on Island Records on 6 Nov. Influenced by the likes of Elliott Smith and Sparklehorse he's spent much of 06 in New York writing and these the results. Not bad, long term prospects good.
