Cassette Kids – ‘Forwards Backwards’
Those crazy kids and their cassettes are back with a newie, this one sounds like a fresh one after their signing with biggie SonyBMG. I hope an album is out soon. They’re touring with The Presets in July, check them out.
Don’t ask me what, but I was seeing different in my head with this song. At the very least I expected the clip being shot with Paris as a backdrop. This clip is rather underwhelming.
Children Collide - ‘Social Currency’
Finally we get to hear some new material from Children Collide. After leaving their previous label they have signed with big timers Universal who had the dough to send these guys to the states to record with Dave Sardy, a major label producer who did career launching albums for Wolfmother, Jet and Dandy Warhols to name a few. I’ve always liked these guys because so much of it reminds me of the grunge era I grew up in, but it remains to be seen however if the buying masses are ready for such a revival.

Hell City Glamours – ‘White Trash Hot Love’
Word on the street is that those long-time stalkers of the night, the Hell City Glamours, have got a new self-titled album coming out in early July. There aren’t many bands left these days who dedicate themselves to tongue-thrusting, leather pants, long hair and sweat but shit if you’re going to do rock’n’roll, you may as well do it right.
Cut Off Your Hands- ‘The Witch’ (mp3)
I know Dom already posted a COYH cover recently but this would be my personal pick, a live favourite and just down right punky song that shows off Nick’s crazy howl that has to be experienced to get the full effect. I’ve seen them so many time, can’t wait for the album!
Art vs. Science – ‘Flippers’
Sydneysiders Art vs. Science seem to have a very clear game plan. They make upbeat music for excitable people. Their style is uncomplicated, energetic and most critically, fun. They even provide simple to follow instructions on how best to enjoy it. This, for example, is what you should do when listening to Flippers:
1) I see you dancing with your flippers
2) I see you swimming with your flippers
3) I see you clapping with you flippers
4) Getting Happy with your flippers.
Of course you don’t have to follow these rather cryptic instructions. You could just wave your hands and feet in a way that would look unbelievably stupid if you were to do it in any other context. Ah, the liberating quality of music. Everybody should know what it feels like to dance like a giant penguin in the snow.
