Matinee Club new single 5 March
Discotheque Francais
The Modern were stripped from a No.14 position for their excellent 'Industry' because of suspected chart fiddling -rife throughout the charts. 'Discotheque' was due to be the follow-up and bigger hit. Following the fiddling allegation The Modern were dropped. Well 'Disco' is a great pop song, a great single, five new mixes here by Hoxton Hores and Renegade MCH. They deserve Top Ten this time XXXx matineeclub.co.uk

Stone Sour
Sillyworld new single 12 March
From Des Moines, Iowa, USA Stone Sour have come up with a fine single here. A subtle accoustic guitar whets your appetite for the song as Stone Sour deliver a quality rock fayre. 'Silly World', far more politically aware than the title may suggest, has large crossover potential "So take those lyrics serious and sing your life away, carry on ...I can't take your silly world no more" this is a great record.

Mark Ronson limited release
Toxic / God Put A smile Upon Your Face
A superb slab of authentic 70's influenced funk. Not disimlar to Mark The 45 King's take on it. 'Toxic' is a low down dirty groove with smutty lyrics while 'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face' is another floor filling groove. Ronson's a man to watch, check his funky Radiohead below! XXXX

Mastodon new single 12 March
Colony Of Birchmen
Atlanta, Georgia gives us the strutting, powerful rock of Mastodon. Third album 'Blood Mountain' is their debut on Warners and a powerful affair it is too. A great guitar solo to finish, there's an airy quality to this tune, airy usually means crossover potential, 'Colony Of Birchmen', ??? ... whatever that means could easily go UK Top 40.

The Knife new single 19 February
Marble House
The Knife are curios', declining photo opportunities and shunning celebrity to concentrate on the thing they love most .. making music and imagery. 'Marble House' is bizarre, a great electro creation in six diferent mixes, in some ways atmospherically akin to Ultravox 'Vienna', a chilling atmos is created with lyrics which suggest the vocalist is in a morgue? Fascinating and well worthy. XXXX theknife.net

Thirteen Senses
Contact new album 5 March
An excellent return by Thirteen Senses. The first single 'All The Love In Your hands' due 26 February is a corker, check their myspace for 'Spirals' and title track 'Contact'. They seem to have worked their own U2 Joshua Tree airy quality, subtle riffing guitars and strong dreamy vocals. This is their best yet. XXXX

The Hoosiers new album 26 Feb
Worst Case Scenario
Influenced by 70's bands like ELO and Supertramp, soft cuffuffle 'Mr Blue Sky' style intro & a choppy 140bpm 'you got out the wrong side of bed and liked it, the only love you get is unrquited, morning Monday all week long's not healthy, being happy's only for the wealthy'. London three piece The Hoosiers make a fine debut here, occasional falsetto vox emphasize a catchy chorus that could catch on with workers everywhere. XXXx thehoosiers.co.uk
