I face pressure! You face pressure!

Writing blogs gives me a lot of pleasure; usually when I discover a band or artist that stops me in my tracks and I listen to little else for the next few days.
One of the first bands to have this effect on me were The Bridge Gang, new school guitar pop with a raw attitude. They’ve got an awesome new track on their myspace called “Blue Sky Grey” it’s getting a release on a Brille Records 7″ and I can see it being a future re-release hit single. Stay tuned to their myspace page for news. I’ll get an mp3 up soon if they let me…
Other bands have had a similar effect on me since I started blogging: the best unsigned/ independent bands in the world:
Eric from Marathon Packs has a superb summer Podcast up. I’ll get mine recorded tomorrow. It’s all killer, folks!
When it’s been raining, I’ve been playing Multiplayer Su Doku and listening to the new album by the Fiery Furnaces (mp3) Sign up for the emusic trial and download the album for free). F.F’s don’t really help the concentration but it’s a great, obtuse and overflowing album that should be heard without interuption or delay.
Alongside the new site design (you like?) I’m enacting a policy of only writing single post features about UK bands and then doing a much briefer weekly update of superb music from around the world with some links to other International blogs.
