Crazy Horses

New Young Pony Club are back with their first new material since late 2007 and......it's good. The new single, 'Chaos' is a lot more radio friendly than their previous material, which is causing some divide amongst the fans of the band, but one single can't truly represent the sound of a whole album so their anxiety is perhaps a little premature.

The change doesn't seem to have done them any harm though. From the unwavering bassline through to the funky drumming and the understated vocals, 'Chaos' is a track that sucks you in and refuses to let go until the end. To be honest I don't know what some fans are complaining about! As well as exciting fans with this new single they've also let a remix by Rory Phillips become available for free download here.

Breaking the Mould

Apologies for the lack of posts recently but a nice way to kick off the new week here. French band Plastiscines release their debut single 'Barcelona' on the 2nd November and it's an infectious three minutes of indie pop. I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of female guitar bands and it's easy to see how Plastiscines, with their easy on the eye members, might attract criticism or might not be taken seriously, but they've aspired to make garage-rockesque indie and that's exactly what they're doing. They could well be ones to keep an eye on. The video for 'Barcelona' is below. Oh, and here's a nice little freebie for you...a remix of the track by Rory Phillips, which can be found here.
