    Love a bit of Frank. Saw them in Thekla in 2019 (?18?) and loved the vibe

    If that was April 2019 I was also at that gig at Thekla! Was at a loose end and took a chance after hearing a couple of their songs and been a fan ever since.

  2. Side A of Franc Moodys EP dropped today with studio versions, apparently side B out in 2 weeks and these are live versions of the same songs.

    Only 4 songs and 3 had been drip fed since March but very good all the same, can’t fault anything these guys do. 

  3. Couple of listens to Blue Weekend and have to agree with what’s already been said on here. Was also worried they had left it too long after 2nd album but this has to put them up with the best current British bands. Love the flow of the album, think my favourite tune will depends on the mood I’m in but some strong contenders. Thought it was good having lead single near the end too, so many albums are front loaded with singles with the risk of losing interest for the more unfamiliar stuff later on. Although there wasn’t any risk of losing interest with this one. 10/10

  4. Slow start and a strong finish for me this month:

    1. Elder Island - Swimming Static

    2. HAERTS - Dream Nation

    3. Iceage - Seek Shelter

    Had probably another 5 albums battling for 2nd and 3rd, Fightmilk, Penfriend, Paul Weller, The Black Keys, Easy Life.

    How is it June already 🤯

  5. Don’t see many country recommendations on here, just seen Blackberry Smoke have a new one out today and it’s nothing groundbreaking but thought it was pretty decent and will definitely get some more spins when I’m in the country mood

  6. Elder Island didn’t disappoint, this will be getting lots of plays this summer. Definite contender for AOTM. Looking forward to their tour this autumn in some small venues.

    Thought Easy life was good too, think there were a couple of weak songs on first listen whereas some of their older singles and EP tunes would have fit a lot better for their debut album.

    Another good final release day of the month seems to be a trend this year

    Anyone fancy helping a truly independent artist get as high as possible in the charts 

    This album from Penfriend - Exotic Monsters has incredible artwork. Due to an incredibly busy week at work I haven't really heard it yet but she used to make music under She Makes War and is a Twitter good egg so even though I can't yet speak for the quality I'm still happy to promote it. 

     

    Enjoyed this on first spin thanks for sharing!

  8. Great day of releases today, Fightmilk and Paul Weller being the highlights for me but also enjoyed St Vincent. Wasn’t sure about the Vaccines single to start with but it’s already grown on me, hopefully announce a new album and tour soon

    New track from Aussie band Eliza & The Delusionals.  Not quite as good as their EP last year for me, but still pretty good. Got quite an early 00s Avril vibe without being irritating.

    Also that Little Simz track has just been on 6Music. Bloody hell it really is rather good.

    One of my favourite discoveries from 2020 but since gone off my radar so it’s good to hear they have new music out, totally agree with the Avril reference too! Good stuff 

  10. Really enjoyed first listen of Royal Bloods new album. Different enough from their previous 2 to keep it interesting but still very clear it's Royal Blood. This and a coffee has set me up for the day

  11. New Wolf Alice is great, much heavier sound than the first release from the new album. Love how they can switch between the heavy and more stripped back sounds. Really looking forward to the full album now

     

  12. The Vaccines have released an album of demos of song from their debut album, which is one of my favourites from the last 11 years. Always quite interesting to hear how songs started out I think

  13. 1. Black Honey - Written and Directed

    2. Arab Strap - As Days Get Dark

    3. Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over The Country Club

    Wasn't aware of Arab Strap before this album so did my usual Google search that I do with most artists that are new to me - I wouldn't advise doing an image search on a work laptop as I did!

    And the playlist to your pb was? Good effort there btw 👍🐙

    Today’s was Parallel Lines by Blondie, I quite like using runs to listen to albums in full or however long the run takes! Will often try to match the album or playlist to the speed of run I’m attempting. Hadn’t planned a particularly fast one today just felt really good as I got going.

    Good going with the 10 miler, I’m trying to build up my weekly distances hoping for a half marathon effort soon
