Hey Everyone! |

Beady Eye "Different Gear, Still Speeding" [Mar 1] |
||||||
![]() |
We've got the triumphant return of Oasis to share with you today. Wait- what?? Kidding. Liam and most of his Oasis mates - including Andy Bell of RIDE (do we even need to mention who isn't involved?!) have formed Beady Eye and their debut album is out March 1st on Dangerbird Records (Fontana). Different Gear, Still Speeding is "thirteen songs that are loud, vibrant, exhilarating. It’s raw rock’n’roll one minute, and classic pop the next" (dangerbirdrecords.com). On Different Gear, Still Speeding, Beady Eye gives you "songs [that] are less oikish, more nimble and nuanced, than a lot of Oasis’ ponderous later music. [Beady Eye have brought you] big riffs, pounding drums, and basslines that prop up simple melodies" (bbc.co.uk). Producer "Steve Lilywhite has succeeded in bringing out the best in every member of the band and using that for the benefit of the greater good" (live4ever.uk.com). If you like your music minus the sibling drama, go ahead and put on Beady Eye; Liam has made sure you won't regret it. For fans of: Oasis - "Definitely Maybe" & "(What's The Story) Morning Glory" - 'nuff said? |

The Dears "Degeneration Street" [OUT NOW!] |
||||||
![]() |
Now for a band who are constantly re-inventing themselves. We think this record will mark the third sonic rebirth of Canadian band The Dears. While we are fairly obsessed with Morrissey and any band that sounds similar - meaning we really enjoyed The Dears' earliest work, we absolutely love where this band has landed. These are easily the best songs this band has written. Degeneration Street is a full on rock record, and it will knock you over. Its songs are huge, catchy, beautiful and require repeat listening. This record came out on February 15 on Dangerbird (Fontana). You will love this record, and people will hear it playing in the store and beg you to sell it to them early. Its that awesome. So start spinning it! |
