You Have To Hear: Cloud Control

October 28, 2009 by Lachy 0 Comments

Cloud Control are a lovely little indie pop (a term which I have never fully understood) band hailing from Sydney, Australia. They have been creating a bit of a buzz in Australian indie circles for a few years now, although they have achieved this through a mixture of radio-friendly singles and short and sharp EPs […]

You Have To Hear: Red Riders

This time up it’s an indie band from Sydney, Australia, called Red Riders. And it’s another real summer band that is almost certainly best enjoyed when submerged in an icy-cold swimming pool on a warm sunny day. The band has performed at Australia’s biggest music festivals over the last few years, including the Big Day […]

You Have To Hear: Harlem Shakes

October 23, 2009 by Lachy 0 Comments

Harlem Shakes are a very sad story in indie music. Their debut album, ‘Technicolor Health’, is probably my favourite album of the year so far. They are genuine, upbeat, catchy, and just plain awesome. Or, maybe I should say “They were genuine…”, because they suddenly broke up only a few months ago. Harlem Shakes were […]

Album Review: Mumford And Sons ‘Sigh No More’

October 23, 2009 by Lachy 0 Comments

A few days ago my train home was delayed by a massive 58 minutes. But I didn’t really care, because I was listening to this album. In all fairness I’m probably a few weeks late on this one, because these guys are already being played just about everywhere. But their debut album, ‘Sigh No More’, […]
