The excellent Hunx & His Punx are touring the UK in April.
Dates as follows…
Wild Palms are giving away the B-side to their new single to all and sundry. It’s a cover of Human Behaviour by Bjork and you can get it after the break.
Here’s a sweet fan vid for Art Brut’s Emily Kane.
Made by a father and son and lots of lego, it’s a fine excuse to listen to a classic tune.
The Heartbreaks
Now this we like the sound of. To celebrate turning 16, Fierce Panda records are releasing a 6 track compilation EP featuring the kind of brand new bands we should all be getting excited about. This is what they did better than anyone else back in 1994, and they’ve decided it’s high time they started doing it again.

Sick of the indie-band format (you and me both, kid) Field Music went on a three-year hiatus after capping off their last show with Deerhoof in 2007. Solo projects do what they do during such a period—abound. Marimba affairs and murder-mystery themed records lush with postpunk and postrock gave way to the band’s resurgence, two new members for the brothers Brewis, and now a double album slated to drop February 16, with a smattering of tour dates. Below, “Measure” is an intricately-crafted gem.
We’re very saddened at Artrocker.com to hear the news that Jay Reatard died in his sleep last night. His Watch Me Fall album was one of our favourites of the year, and fans of lo fi punk rock have lost a leading light.
