Morning – Ghostpoet
http://www.myspace.com/ghostpoet
Coming on like Maxi Jazz with a masters degree and Micachu’s Shapes backing him, this is exciting spoken word/rap with real depth.

ffwd – Calories
www.myspace.com/caloriesband
Mathy, post indie rock with a deceptively simple sound and great layered gang vocals in the chorus.

Everyday – James Owen Fender
www.myspace.com/jamesowenfender
This puts you in mind of Jamie T doing Brendan Benson songs with an eye on Weezer’s or Jimmy Eat World’s crown. Great stuff.

Strike Me Down – Fennel Seeds
www.myspace.com/fennelseeds
Starting off like a Coral b side, it then evolves into Kelly Jones covering Badly Drawn Boy in a skiffle hall.

Whispers – Tiger! Shit! Tiger! Tiger!
www.myspace.com/tigershittigertiger
Angular, wilfully dischordant and full of ‘tude, this is a great breakout track from this Italian threesome. Which somehow sounds naughty, and it kinda is.

Down To The Infinity – Too Young To Love
www.myspace.com/tooyoungtolove
I dunnow, you wait for good Italian bands and then…yes, another top Italian find, all swirling washed out synths, almost casiotone beats and a general air of brainy Mgmt.

Funny For A Girl – Cancel The Astronauts
www.myspace.com/canceltheastronauts
They made me laugh with their previous single, and this one is no exception. Artful chiming synth pop with a wistful anthemic feel to it.

Me vs Me – French Wives
www.myspace.com/thefrenchwives
A kind of hybrid of Dexys and The Arcade Fire, jamming with The Hothouse Flowers – and it totally works.
