To flog their new album Don’t Sleep, Stealing O’Neal have launched the aptly titled, ‘DON’T SLEEP TV’ – a reality series where the members of the band have to vie to stay awake and complete a series of challenges to win stimulants. I’m no sadist, but the chilli scoff at the end is rather entertaining.

Don’t Sleep is out Oct 8th.

Things I like that are relevant to this video.

1. Power trios
2. Pop songs
3. Short, punchy, awesome solos
4. “Live” videos
5. Multiple vocalists

Hopefully this song will be flogged on Triple J.

How is it that my inbox groans under the weight of irrelevant spam, but nobody tips me off to a local band that I like having a film clip up on their MySpace?!

Strange Talk – ‘Climbing Walls’

Strange Talk have only been kicking since Feb, but they’ve cemented a fine floor filler right here. This killer tune takes cues from Yeasayer with zippy accented hooks, while the chorus summons up many fond Cut Copy memories. Slick production vals, incredibly contagious, this is one hell of an addictive tune to propel you into the weekend.

Strange Talk are currently supporting Jinja Safari on a run of dates before they hit the stage at Parklife.
