I’ve been quite slow in dealing with PR mails and requests this month because of my finals period (like I’m so quick otherwise!) there’s been some decent submissions and here I’ll try to mention some of my selections. More submission stuff to follow
soon, don’t hesitate to send your stuff.

Sir Salvatore, is playful indie with a clean pop style from SF. Kinda like Field Music. They’re a relatively new band but they’ve opened up for Sebadoh’s Eric Gaffney. I liked the riff on this song a lot, because it’s catchy and feel good.

&ND - To make a good believer, you gotta do what you’re told says French electro/indie group &ND. They’re a Parisien band influenced by modern dance/rock bands like LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture, with a little bit emphasis on the guitars. I’m normally not so much into this kind of music, but I liked the lyrics and their radio friendly dancerock so I thought I would let you check it out yourself

Infants have chaotic Hella like beats mixed with the furiousity of Atari Teenage Riot with a messier sound. Extreme/raw sounds and ideas please me aesthetically, but having a muddy chaos is not so appealing for me, got to clean the mud a little bit IMO.

Beta Valentine is from Austin, TX and they’ve just released their second album called Gold on Has anyone ever told you?. This is energetic power trio music with heavy trashy guitars in fact it’s electrified southern rock with a little bit artsyness (is there a word like that?) thrown in, but my question is “why are the vocals mixed so low?”

65daysofstatic

Finally the most famous of all the bunch, 65daysofstatic the 4 piece electropostrock band from Sheffield, UK. They’ve been getting critical acclaim and reviews everywhere, for some reason I’m not a huge fan of their stuff, but I’ve always thought they are a solid band.

Sir Salvatore - Hooray this Projector
&ND - Hey Hey Hey
&ND - Traffic (Road Safety)
Infants - No Soul
Beta Valentine - Eighteen days of rescue
65DaysofStatic - When we were young and better
