Is the Confidence Man album worth a spin, or is it just sub-CSS?
Seconding the massive thumbs up for this recco. Awesome stuff.

It’s decent but they’re never going to capture their live show, which I absolutely love.

Infact they’re probably the third best band I saw after vampillia and vmo last year

I heard them for the first time last night, live on Marc Riley’s show. What they played was really good - will investigate.
Rival Consoles - Persona, for me. Also Dr Octagon - Moosebumps, but I don’t know if that was out this or last week.
Just been to see Josh T Pearson in Rough Trade. It was excellent, he’s a funny fucker. His own review of the record is that it’s, “nowhere near as bad as people are gonna tell you.”

Good to hear. I had low expectations (didn’t like the pre-released songs much), but I’ve listened to it a couple of times today and there’s some really good stuff on it. “Loved Straight to Hell” is particularly great.
King Tuff has a new album out today which I will be listening to at some point

Loving this one. UK tour soon…and I’m 99% sure I’m somewhere else the night they’re in Bristol.
Martin John Henry from Dr Rosa has popped up out of nowhere with a new album. Ribbon On A Bough was my favourite single from a few years back, so will definitely be giving this a listen.

Didn’t even realise there was a new Young Galaxy album last week! Will have to give that a listen.

Yep, similarly digging with a large shovel. Thanks for reminding me to check this out. Holy Roar strikes again.

With Svalbard too. Quite a bill!
Thanks, @AtTheBorderGuy - I was struggling a little with this week’s releases, but this one, Some Evil Ways, is really lovely. Lazy journalism, perhaps, but memorable of Arab Strap. Indeed, I see from MJH’s Bandcamp page that he and Malcolm Middleton have collaborated in the past. Very nice vibe as the sun sets over the harbour, here in Sydney.
Indeed, it jigs along very pleasantly I must say. You’ve come up with the goods once again @rich-t. Ta, muchly. This thread once again doings its thang - my usual online sources for new music had been somewhat disappointing this week.
Gonna do the Nottingham one
