Band of Skulls Band of Skulls - Fires (Shangri-La) 
Southampton trio, Band of Skulls, return with a new single that shimmies in an intriguingly seductive direction. Find out how the band fair when it comes to taking down the tempo.
 
Young Fathers Young Fathers - Automatic/Dancing Mantaray (This Is Music) 
Edinburgh trio Young Fathers release their double a-side 'Automatic/Dancing Mantaray' and show why they're going to be so interesting to watch develop.
 
Swedish House Mafia Swedish House Mafia - One (Your Name) (Virgin Records) 
The dons of the White Isle offer all that is expected with their debut release.
 
Grum Grum - Can't Shake This Feeling (Glasgow Underground Music)

Lady Antebellum 2
Lady Antebellum - London's Shepherd's Bush Empire (11/08/2010) 
Nashville's latest sensation perform one off London show, to the yee-haa delight of the sell-out crowd.
 
Biffy Clyro 2
Biffy Clyro - God and Satan (14th Floor) 
A year on from the release of 'That Golden Rule', Biffy Clyro are still releasing singles from Only Revolutions. But it's a testament to the quality of the record that 'God and Satan' is just as strong as the 5 singles that preceded it.
 
Burning Hank
Burning Hank - Seriously, It's Getting Us Down (Flat Mind Records) 
Burning Hank might make you smirk, but the disappointing lack of depth in their record takes the joke too far.
 
She & Him
She & Him - Thieves (Double Six) 
Zooey Deschanel is at her best as she blasts away the stereotype of naff actors-turned-singers with one of her best songs to date.
 
Two Door Cinema Club
Two Door Cinema Club - You're So Stubborn (Kitsune) 
Another club to think about joining, especially if you like your pop-rock short and sweet.
 
Mystery Jets
Mystery Jets - Flash A Hungry Smile (Rough Trade) 
A chirpy and whimsical pop tune crammed with bobbing Byrds-esque positivity.
 
Great White
Great White - Once Bitten, Twice Live (Sidewinder Records) 
The stale smell of fish hangs around this latest catch from American rockers Great White.
 
Teenagersintokyo
TeenagersinTokyo - End It Tonight (Back Yard Recordings) 
Interesting, well polished, and with a distinctive Indie Rock come 80's Synth Pop feel - End It Tonight is another single from a band capable of doing great things, if someone is prepared to give them a chance.
 
Feeder
Feeder - Renegades (Big Teeth) 
Feeder - or is it Renegades? - return with this unusual, and possibly self titled, heavier effort. The playfullness is gone and a return to the roots has found this band have more kick left then most taught.
 
John & Edward - Jedward
John and Edward - Planet Jedward (Universal Music) 
John and Edward should be congratulated - most Metal artists spend their entire career trying to create an album with the right ingredients of fear, horror and inescapable doom - Jedward have achieved it in one Pop album!
