Right! Time for part two!

Let's not beat around the proverbial bush, and get right in there!

Here’s a phrase you don’t hear too often – French Rock’n’Roll! ‘Paris Calling’ slays that theory with a giant mythical sword with a whole album of the stuff! The window of opportunity awaits you!

Next Monday sees the release of the Blood Brothers’ latest single called ‘Lazer Life’ on Wichita Recordings. Click the Windows Media Hi/Med/Lo links for more joy and anticipation of this wonderful spectacle that lays ahead!

Timbaland released his Shock Value album the other week, which features appearances from Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Dr Dre, Missy Elliott, Fall Out Boy, Elton John and The Hives amongst others!

Here's a clip of Timbaland at work in his studio.
The Enemy’s latest release ‘Away From Here’ is being stocked in shops worldwide as we speak. They were on ‘Transmission’ on Channel 4 on Friday, and have been getting a fair wedge of primetime plugging.

Windows Hi/Lo, Real Hi/Lo, Quicktime Hi/Lo - BE WARNED. It’s catchy!
Check out this competition for size!

There’s a chance to win an exclusive Fall Out Boy guitar at this very link here! It’s open until 9th May, so you’ve got time to compose yourselves.

While you wait the response, you could always watch a clip from their latest single ‘Thnks Fr Th Mmrs’ (can you see what they did there?) at this link. Splendid!

The rather ace Alberta Cross release ‘Hard Breaks’ in the shops on 7 May. This song sounds quite brilliant in the sunshine, so click the link and turn it up laaaahhhd! If you can’t wait, you might just be able to find it at the normal online music retailers already…

Foals are another group with a song out this week. To see the video that accompanies ‘Hummer / Astronauts And All’ that is available to purchase this week through Transgressive Records, then look below:

They’ve got tour dates coming up, and they’ve announced the tracklist for the new album. Go forth to the window of opportunity to see the goodies!

Rival Joustas release ‘The Masquerade’ next week (23 April) on the independent label Protest Recordings. Incorporating all things prog-rock to indie-disco, it’s a stonking way to introduce yourselves upon the world!

Joakim has a new song and resulting video out. The track is called ‘Lonely Hearts’ that’s taken from the album ‘Monsters and Silly Songs’, and it features a rather strange wedding video to take the single’s hand in matrimony.

Now this is what we’re talkin’ about!

Rhythms Del Mundo have released an album that collaborates with members of the Buena Vista Social Club and Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Radiohead, and a stack more where that came from.

They’ve taken old classics and turned them into something even more magical, with all profits going to charity (Ape) which supports awareness of climate change – so it’s all for a good cause!
