So, I was out of the new music stuff for a little while, internet problems and what not. Started doing some catchup and came across a few decent ones.

Minus the Bear, not exactly new, they've been talked about in this forum a lot. But, I finally managed to get the majority of their stuff through soulseek and I likey. They have the occasional REALLY good song, and then a few that mesh together and don't stand out but aren't 'bad' per se. Pachuca Sunrise off their newest album Menos El Oso is possibly my favorite song by them. Somewhat chill, but not the kind of chill that you might want to fall asleep to (ala pinback, who I like though, just saying). Their song titles on Highly Refined Pirates are hilarious if you get any of the references.

Arctic Monkeys. Whatever people say I am thats what I am notThis is bleeding edge new, the album doesn't drop for a few weeks. They are like a less wankerish, heavier version of the Libertines. I expect "I bet you look good on the dancefloor" to get some radio play.. maybe it already is in the UK. I'm liking them so far.

The Subways. Young for EternityReleased back in July, but I've not seen them mentioned much anywhere before and I'm surprised, maybe I just missed it. "Rock n Roll Queen" is the obvious single, so might want to start there. But, it gets old and other songs on the album such as "Mary" and "I want to hear what you have got to say" start sounding better after a few listens. Somewhere in the gene pool of 1 part Vines, 1 part Von Bondies, 1 part Razorlight, and 1 part New Pornographers.
