Releases // Monday 8th June

Hatcham Social release 'Crocodile' which the second single from their debut album 'You Dig The Tunnel I'll Hide The Soil' which was produced by Tim Burgess. The track as ever is a well written pop song but am surprised it's been released as a single, as it isn't a stand out track for me. On the flip side you will find exclusive track 'Dissected'.

MP3: Hatcham Social - Crododile

I know this leaked over month ago but it's finally been released on vinyl. If you haven't been the biggest fan Sonic Youth's more recent albums 'The Eternal' has taken the songwriting style from 2006's 'Rather Ripped' but then also brought back stuff from older albums like 'Sister' and 'Daydream Nation' so I recommend giving it a listen. It is a great record and is up there as one of my favourite Sonic Youth albums.

Releases // Monday 16th March

The Kills - Black Baloon 10"

The indie rock duo The Kills release their next single from their 2008 album "Midnight Boom". Although this isn't a signature song from The Kills with it being very much calmer and melodic, it's still one of my favourites from the album. On the flip side is two exclusive tracks '44' and 'weedkiller.

Televised Crimewave - Listen and Repeat 7"

This is the debut release, from one of the bands which emerged after Black Wire split up- Televised Crimewave. It's being released on Puregroove and has already been Artrocker's single of the week.

Hatcham Social - You Dig The Tunnel, I'll Hide The Soil - L.P

This is Hatcham Social's debut album, which has been produced by Tim Burgess (The Charlatans). Hatcham Social have received good reviews for this catchy indie pop album which has been put out by Fierce Panda.

Black Lips - 200 Million Thousdand - LP

The Black Lips return with their third studio album "200 Million Thousand". After the huge success of 2007's "Good Bad Not Evil" I'm sure this one will be just as well received.

Wavves - Wavves - LP
After seeing Wavves play at The Fenton a couple weeks ago I've been listening to his first record loads, it's a great mix of Lo-Fi and grunge. I can't wait to here his new album "Wavves" hopefully it will be just as good as the last one.
