Swallow- Blow (1992)

Ok,
Sorry for the long time laps but internet's kinda a come and go for me, just moved to a new place and setting in.

BUT,

Swallow- This band is really good, from the early 90's comes yet another feel good smooth sound. Similar to the band My Bloody Valentine, these kids (Mike Mason and Louise Trehy) are a British duo bring the term "mell rock" to meaning. With the methodically monotone sound in the voice to the tranquil drum beats you can really tell they enjoyed making this album! I highly recommend this one to anyone out there who either is a fan of this style, or just looking for something new to try. You won't be disappointed, I promise :)
There are 2 other albums also released later on: Blowback & Soft. I haven't gotten my hands on them yet but will put them up for your enjoyment.


Also, judging from their name and album titles-- these guys were here just for the fun of music!

Senseless Things- Andi In A Karmann [EP] (1990~?)

Andi In A Karmann EP, which was never released.  It was set to be released by What Goes On Records, and the company went bust.  The Things went and signed to Decoy records and released Is It Too Late  EP which feature all the songs off Andi with the exception of You Owe Me and Never Know Why. Which is a shame as they are great tracks.

Note the similar record covers of Is It Too Late and Andi In A Karmann.  Jamie Hewlett must of been too busy with Tank Girl to do another sleeve for them.

A crunchy groove that really brings back the spirit of the 90's. Sunny Days, bad attire, and one of the only decades where our economy was actually ok.

Enjoy!

The Cribs "You're Gonna Lose Us" Single (2005)


    "You're Gonna Lose Us" is a non-album single from The Cribs, and was released on 05 December 2005, charting at #30 on the UK Singles Chart. The track originally appeared as a b-side to "Hey Scenesters!" earlier in the year, before being reworked by Bernard Butler for its own stand-alone release.








Found this Gem whilst roaming the music today and thought I'd post this for others to enjoy. Another good night pub style song that just makes you move.

ASAP- No Construct (2012?)

Walking the streets the other day I found a CD on the side of a road. with nothing more than some sharpie writing saying "ASAP- No Construct-". It was a pretty scratched CD but I was able to rip these songs off it. It is some home studio made CD with a fusion of Electronic Mell/Progressive Rap. It's not the best thing out there but seeing as you can still find people making their own music is refreshing.

Anyways enjoy this find whichever way you take it,

Enjoy!
