Somebody is channeling Stiff little fingers. Or is it Gang of Four? With a bit of The Wedding Present? Smashing good stuff anyway. Talk Taxis is from london and doesn't have anything out yet, so go lurk their myspace page.
Talk Taxis - Liverless.
And some video fun:
I May never. That has to be Jake Burns singing there doesn't it?
The Numbers.
Psych Rock with a bit of a twist. Mostly it's just really good pop songs with some fuzzy guitar/organ and nicely produced drums. I think I like Fantasy Life the best because the vocals are so clear, but I want to Believe has a really nice build to it. Also, worst name in the world if you're trying to find them on tha internets.
The Numbers - I want to Believe.
The Numbers - Fantasy Life.
Xiu XIu.
Xiu Xiu actually pulled off a cover of under pressure where the bass isn't the focal point. Pretty nifty trick. This is off the new one Women as Lovers.
Xiu Xiu - Under Pressure.
The Gossip.
I'm not a huge fan of the gossip. I feel like they need a good remix to bring out their full potential as a band. More over the top Disco please.
The Gossip - Yr Mangled Heart (Guns N Bombs Trashbags Remix)
Robyn.
Go! Go! Ocelot! Decent video, just give it a second.
