    Pop Squad: Emmett and Mary

    Kimya Dawson is a bit old hat now, what with being in Juno and all. Plus y'know, tweexcore is kind of over. We're all about chilling. Or punk. Or stuff with booms, bips and glitches. Hello to Emmett and Mary then

    Off Script: Swanton Bombs

    Nasty, dark, just two of the lads and apparently shit at interviews, with songs packing that much power, surely Swanton Bombs aren't afraid of running off script?

    Be Brave: The Strange Boys

    The title track from the new album is the smoothest song they've released so far, rolling a garage drawl over steamy sax and blurred riffs. The video features scooter chases, faces full of food, home film, leg humping, hats and some top notch leg wobbling.

    Stop Whining: The Babies

    NYC is still dissecting just how good or how not good an idea it is for members of WOODS and Casisie from Vivian Girls to form one band but from over here it's good to hear that friends can still just jam.

    Good Eggs: Friendly Fires Mix

    Friendly Fires have a new mixtape. Titled the 'Eggs Benedict Mix' we can only assume they cooked it up in the morning while tucking into something tasty. These sounds are more disco bar than breakfast bar but they're good anyway.
