His four-track Kings And Them EP will be released on Tri Angle Records on 25 June and we'll be reserving our copy asap....now just gotta hope he does some shows near by to promote it...don...

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.

STAR SLINGER - BAD BITCHES (FEAT. STUNNAMAN & LIL B)

This is great. Manchester's own Star Slinger has properly pulled this collab off with Pack members LIL B and STUNNAMAN. Check that beat! Gonna be hammering this hard for the next month or so no doubt...and its available to DL too...makes me want to do another mixtape! Good good vibes. A

Rocky Ridin Rey!

Well it had to happen; the 2 most hyped and talked about acts of last year were surely bound to collab at some point...and....drum role....here it is...Lana Del Rey and A$AP Rocky have teamed up for New York producers The Kickdrums, new mixtape Follow the Leader which is out today. The track is called Ridin' and you can hear it below....its OK I guess...but its not really making us that excited for the recently mooted LDR and Tyler collab too much. See what ya think anyways...

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.
