“If Rock and Roll had a different name, you could call it Chuck Berry”. I love how effortless this performance is, brilliant.
At the Indie Disco - The Divine Comedy
I Just discovered this guy, he’s brilliant! This is his latest single for the 2010 album “Bang goes the Knighthood”. The divine comedy mix an eclectic mix of styles to form a fusion of 60’s beat with folk, and some really witty lyrics. Some of his work strikes me as being influenced by the Kinks. Check out the album, and his 1996 album, “casanova”.
Enjoy

Shout to the Top - The Style Council.
I Love the Style Council. Coming out of the Jam Weller totally changed his direction and image, as he has so many times, and to the anger of 98% of his fans. This is how pop music should be. Check out anything you can by TSC, but particularly the singles, such as Come to Milton Keynes, My Ever Changing Moods, Walls come Tumbling Down, The Paris Match, a Man of Great Promise and A Solid Bond in your heart. Yeah I live them. x

Surfer blood first came to my attention about a year ago, when I got their single “Swim” on an NME radar mix-tape CD from WH Smiths. I remember it wasn’t a great recording, but the song was catchy, and had quite a 60s feel about it. I recently got hold of the whole record, ‘Astro Coast’, and it’s pretty much shot up into my favorites. Surfer blood combine the 60’s surf rock attitude which you found with bands like the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean, with drums and synthesizers that sound like they could have come from Friendly Fires. A great mix of Indie and Surf Rock that just, gets it right. Other favourites from the album are “Flaoting Vibes” and “Twin Peaks”. x
