Wavves // New Album

I know i've been blogging about this kid Wavves a lot since starting the blog, but he just keeps impressing me. Seeing him live was sick, his first record "Wavves" although a lot of it was a sonic assault of noise was great and now the release of his second album slightly confusingly also titled "Wavves" is even better. The songs in the second record are much more melodic but don't worry he still assaulting your ears with just as much loud noises. Check out some of my highlights.

Wavves - No Hope Kids

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.

Wavves and Pens // 28th Feb // The Fenton

I went into the gig not really expecting too much. Pens matched my expectations only a couple half decent songs and a unenthusiastic performance. Wavves however completely surprised me, great energetic performance singing about skateboarding and smoking weed. They have totally converted me to the Lo-Fi scene and becoming one of my favorite bands so far of 2k9.
