Video Blog #March

Ey up! Not done one of these for a while, lots of fun things to share with you...


I don't know alot about this band, but they like making kooky minimal Japanese videos for their awesome electronic/industrial type pop/rock songs. Think The Big Pink producing School of Seven Bells & partying with The Naked and the Famous & The Horrors.
"CATCHY POP SONGS WITH A SENSE OF DARKNESS, OF THE MURKY AND MYSTICAL, AND A RHYTHMICAL, ALMOST TRIBAL INTENSITY. AND YOU CAN QUOTE US ON THAT." -Guardian


Ace arty Post Punk band from London currently on tour with Ulterior. Leeds folk catch them at The Common Place Friday 11th March. More cool videos on their Vimeo channel HERE.


Leeds based looper & screamer Napoleon IIIrd returns to Yorkshire after touring his critically acclaimed 2nd album 'Christiania' with Brainlove Records. This video is a fantastic live version of the latest single from the album 'The Unknown Unknown', with members of stairs To Korea, Internet Forever and Braindead Collective forming his backing band. Currently touring the UK, hometown show @ Nation of Shopkeepers on Saturday 12th March with the amazing Trumpets of Death also playing.


Awesome proggy post-rock instrumental band from Manchester. Mental freaky video full of Satanism, tortuous scientific experimentation, rape and monsters. So NSFW then? Yeah I spose... Currently on tour with Fujiya Miyagi, catch them at the Brudenell Social Club this Friday 4th March.


Collab btwn BBC Introducing & NME Radar bringing ace new band Tribes in for a Maida Vale session. Ignore Krissi Murison's bullshit about trying to avoid plugging bands with big backing, Tribes just signed to a major, BUT they are awesome so I wish them every success. I could go on about NME policy, but I'll just say this: Jessie J & Nicki Minaj were both featured on NME Radar in the last few months. Draw your own conclusions.
Grab an MP3 off NME HERE.


Big pumping psychedelic rock from South Wales. White Noise Sound have just released their self titled debut album in the UK & US to much critical praise. Grab the mp3 at The Line Of Best Fit.
