Star - Cock Swan SCS

The temperature is rising and the sun is shining here in Manchester and what perfect way to make the situation even better than Cock Swan. Released by Star from what I can only hope is recently (so that I can expect new music on the way) Cock Swan is a fuzzy garage rock little number that shares all the right vibes of bands like Bleached, Tacocat and the like. From what I can gather from the small world of the internet is that their last release was in 2007 and they don't have an official site so I'm going to be keeping one eye on their BandCamp and the other on Saint Maries SoundCloud for any hint of more music. Enjoy!

Lilly Hiatt - Get This Right

25/08/15 YouTube Video

Big thanks to Kids Interview Bands for their interview with Lilly Hiatt. If I didn't watch it I wouldn't have heard the talented Lilly Hiatt or anything including her Dropped Ponies. Get This Right is one of the singles from her 2015 album Royal Blue. After listening to it a couple of times, I really enjoy the mixture of styles she includes from country tinged tracks to more straight up alternative sounding songs. It is definitely one of my favourite albums of its style this year so far. If you get the chance, give the whole LP a listen. Enjoy!

Shannon And The Clams - Point Of Being Right YTV

11/08/15 YouTube Video

Shannon and the Clams new music! Its like I have been waiting for this to come along without even realising it consciously. Nice basic/chugging beat almost like a steam train coming along its rails and working its way into your head like the ear worm that it is. I also like the creative, cross dressing, (sometimes bad) karaoke style of the video. More please SATC!!. Enjoy!
