A Slew Of Music Videos To Hold You Over

First up is Hard-Fi's "Suburban Knights" from their forthcoming sophomore album, "Once Upon A Time In The West". Not a bad song, kinda poppy for them and not as good as their mind-blowing debut album.


The next video comes from a long standing group but one in which I only started to get acquainted with and really dig. Spoon released "Ga Ga Ga Ga" and the video for "The Underdog" along with it.


This pair of videos come from guys who know how to say a message with their....uh...shirts. First is Justice with "D.A.N.C.E." and their ultra-animated shirts and a debut album that puts the dance back into...uh...dance. At least the dance that was left in since Daft Punk's "Discovery". And also we have Just Jack who will finally see a state-side release on his brilliant sophomore album at the end of August(known for great single "Starz In Their Eyes") and his quick shirt changes for his song "Glory Days". Watch for his take on boy band dancing during the choruses, or maybe a little too much OK GO.



More To Come??

Pump Up The Volume With This Direct Hit

Eddie Argos scores another top of the pops smasher with Art Brut's sophomore album, "It's A Bit Complicated". Loaded with a plethora of infectious guitar riffs and his trademark singing style, Eddie and Art Brut have packed together another glorious 11 tracks about girls and music. They have managed to achieve what most artists can't, an album that has your attention through the whole play and not something that just drags out into a new state of boredom.
The leading single "Direct Hit" is exactly what the title implies. A catchy song that could actually put Art Brut on the turntable and the people on the dancefloor. And the video throws together filming a roman orgy of dancing with an essence of Animal House....if only the Romans really made love, not war.
