New Albums
Abernethy - College Grove - Eleven tracks of folk balladry, touching on poetic, spiritual and indie pop genres. College Grove stradles the playful (The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Harry Nilsson) and incantory (Leonard COhen, Judee Sill) like a double-faced moon. http://www.myspace.com/spinninggold
Blitzkid - "The future of horror rock is right here: Blitzkid! Theri sound ranges from metal, to punk, to 50's rock & roll." http://www.myspace.com/blitzkid
Mum - The Peel Session - The four tracks here (five if you include the amalgamation of the two songs on the opening track) are significantly different versions of songs that will be familiar to fans, yet fresh enough to warrant a widespread release of what amounts to a batch of stand-alone recordings by a young band at a creative peak. http://www.myspace.com/mumtheband
Thee Merry Widows - "Kick-ass all girl psychobilly punk band led by burlesque singer Eva Von Slut. Crampsy/Misfits rock." http://www.myspace.com/theemerrywidowsmusic
