Blameless


The Signs Are All There

A fine act from Sheffield that emerged during the early 90's Brit-Pop invasion, sadly they did not satisfy the record labels commercial ambitions and only lasted a short while beyond their debut album before disbanding. Allow me to share one of my favorite records of that era, a few examples from a marvelous debut. Tragic.

The Inspector Cluzo


The French Bastards / Zombie DJ Killers

Some craziness from France! These two musicians (Guitar & Bass) can make a lot of noise. They have been described as Rage against The Machine meets the Jackson's, which kind of gives you an idea about their funk rock sound type thing that's going on here. These tracks are from their 2nd LP which came out last year, turn it up.

Jamie T


Sheila

Love this guy! This track is taken from his first record "Panic Prevention" from back in 2007. (He has recently fell off the radar) not really sure what he's doing right now, but here's a reminder of how great he is.

American Bang

Bang Bang Bang! As they used to be called, check out this band from Nashville Tennessee. While Kings Of Leon are forgetting their roots and producing lack luster dull records we can enjoy some southern hospitality from these boys. These two tracks are from their major label debut produced by Bob Rock.

We Are Scientists

I Don't Bite

Great song from this New York based indie rock outfit, taken from their latest album "Barbara". These guys make some rather fine records.
