Nice And Nicely Done
Artists mentioned:Since the last time I wrote about London-based band Semifinalists on this blog (or let alone a post at all), they released their second record "2" last month.

No Age
Artists mentioned:I don't think there's a lot more I can say about this band that hundreds of other blogs and websites around the world have already said, but what would be the point of this post if I didn't say a few words. I was incredibly late with jumping on the...(read full post)

Peppertones
Artists mentioned:Apart from Japan, I didn’t really cultivate an active interest in what the continent of Asia had to offer, in terms of music, up until only recently. I feel like such a fool for admitting that because I’ve been missing out on a lot of absolute gems. One of these...(read full post)
