So Ian MacKaye might have founded some some amazingly influential bands in his sleep, but Dennis Lyxzén just might be Sweden’s answer. After starting the hardcore band Refused and establishing punk rockers The (International) Noise Conspiracy as a world power, Lyxzen released ’solo’ albums as The Lost Patrol Band.
Quite simply, The Lost Patrol Band […]

The Changes
November 25th, 2005 · 11 Comments
This post over at I Rock, I Roll lead me to The Changes (ps: I got 1181 on the Kitty Cannon game!). But yeah, The Changes are some great pop music.

Those delightful brits, The Earlies, are jumping the pond (it’s obligatory to call it that in any write-up about a british band) to tour in America in November and December. Not only that, but they’ve also got an amazingly trippy video for their wonderfully strange ditty, “Morning Wonder.”

Futureheads New Song: “Area”
November 22nd, 2005 · 17 Comments
So can we all just come together as a people, and admit once and for all that the Futureheads are better than Franz Ferdinand? They out-rock, out-sing and out-snazzy FF in nearly every song. The only thing they don’t have going for them is a huge PR blitz and magazine covers (maybe they do in […]
