LONG DEER IS A W E S O M E AND LONG

If you've yet to experience the majestic, rag-tagness of Manchester's Salford Media City, then you really need to check this video out sharpish. The (occasionally) 8+ strong band are already the city's best kept secret, playing the kind of ramshackle, white-kids doing p-funk wickedness that made the early 'Mondays such an interesting prospect. Long Deer IS Awesome, and long, and this video is both of those things too (*apart from not being very long).

SUPER SUPER GROUP

Have we had a super group lately? A real one? Like in the 70s? One where you're all like, 'bro, wouldn't it be rad if X, Y and Z (gyac, these arent real acts) did a track together' and then you find out that they have done. (A$AP Rocky and LDR does not count).

Well that's not really happened here either with KREAYSHAWN x TRAGIK x GRIMES x BLOOD DIAMONDS but this is pretty dang cool never the less. And they did it in 10 minutes apparently...so there. 

EYES // NO CEREMONY & STAY+ // NEW MUSIC

Pretty excited about this - new track from BV faves NO CEREMONY/// a n d STAY+

EYES is exactly what you would expect from these 2 acts...but thats exactly what we were hoping for...reverb drenched, dark and brooding electronica that just makes us mad excited for both acts upcoming Manchester dates...likelikelike

PINS // ELEVENTH HOUR // NEW MUSIC

Coming up fast on the last posts tail is this much anticipated debut release from Manchester's youngest and most exciting new band, PINS. Now we could go on about the fact that they're a not too shabby looking all girl band with only a handful of gigs under their belt like we've read elsewhere.....we could tell you how ace we think the limited edition tape of their debut single. looks....we could even tell you that they're playing a gig soon that we are mad excited about.. But we think this 3.15m gem of a tune can speak for itself....

and if thats not enough you can also check the excellent new video....and what we will say is PINS look to be the new stars on the horizon of Manchester music...dont sleep on this yo.

LIARING AROUND

Happy to report that the long awaited 6th album from our favourite maverick art-rockers LIARS is due out June 5th. Its called WIXIW and if you worried about how to ask for it at your local record shop then watch the handy video below that *hopefully explains it all. Also if you go over to the bands official Facebook page and click "Like", you'll be able to hear a new song from called "No. 1 Against the Rush" which we are already digging.

JAPANDROIDS // NEW MUSIC

New music out from our favourite good time garage rockers JAPANDROIDS. The House That Heaven Built follows on in a similar vein from 2009s excellent Post Nothing but we arent complaing. If it aint broke right? The song is taken from the new album Celebration Rock which is out this June and also includes last years epic Younger Us. If you havent seen the duo live yet too we suggest you remedy that asap (Soup Kitchen, Manchester in May yo!) as that's really where their noisy but melodic teenage anthems really come into their own.
