Sudden Weather Change

Stop! Handgrenade In The Name Of Crib Death 'nderstand?

Sudden Weather Change are a five-piece rock band from Reykjavík. Their sound has been likened to the sound of bands like Sonic Youth, Pavement, Polvo and countless other 90s alt-rock bands from the US, "Stop! Handgrenade..." is their first full length album and contains 13 juicy, guitar heavy songs.
'Sudden Weather Change recall the prime of Sunny Day Real Estate or Cap'n Jazz' - Pitchfork.com
'Our favourite band at the Iceland Airwaves festival, Sudden's youthful verve and fine taste for the bizarre ("Oh my God, I hate Nicholas Cage") have kept us listening a month later.' - guardian.co.uk

"Give It Up" is the opening salvo from the forthcoming new Datarock album, "Red". It's typical Datarock - a brilliant slice of 80s-inspired disco-not-disco / punk-funk pop (complete with typically witty and surreal lyrics) that hooks you in on first listen. It's a short sharp shock that is reminiscent of the post-punk musicality of acts such as The Associates and achieves the fine balancing act of sounding both current and retro. Remixes on this 12" come from Kissy Sell Out (funky discoid electro), Fan Death (speedy indie-electrodisco collision) and Chateau Marmont (electrohouse). I copy found!

Death Cab For Cutie

    O'Death

    Broken Hymns, Limbs And Skin

    New York quintet O'Death's third album, "Broken Hymns, Limbs And Skin", feels like a giddy junkyard hoedown, from the panicked fiddle screeches of opener "Lowtide" to the celebratory gallop of closer "Lean-To". At times it sounds morose or contemplative, but underneath the melancholy is a gospel fervour — bashed from paint buckets, banjos, guitars and anything else in kicking distance — that defines their sound. Since 2007's "Head Home", the band have evolved the possessed Americana-meets-gypsy-punk of recent years into a more urgent, unrelenting celebration of life, death and everything in between. They've grown up a little, but haven't lost the underlying longing or the unruly jubilation in their songs.

    Death Cab For Cutie

    Narrow Stairs

      "Narrow Stairs" follows 2005's Grammy Award-nominated Platinum album "Plans". It is produced by the band's own Chris Walla, who has produced Death Cab's past five albums.

      Rafter

      Sex Death Cassette

        Inspired by influences as diverse as Guided By Voices, R Stevie Moore, Fela Kuti, Lightning Bolt, Fushitsusha, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Cody Chestnutt, "Sex Death Cassette" is an album full of hope, determination and chaos. It'll leave you with sweat dripping down your face onto your swelled lip; fresh, liquid salt, the quintessential flavour of late night post-disco parties and booty slinging good times. After dancing to this album, you're heavy with it, like too much cough syrup on a stomach full of hi-quality sushi. Rafter executes the helter-skelter boogie-down production so gracefully that it is no mystery why those in-the-know recruit him, including the likes of Fiery Furnaces, The Rapture, Arab on Radar, The Album Leaf, Rocket from the Crypt, Danielson, Black Heart Procession, The Peppermints, Hot Snakes, his own band Bunky, and fellow Asthmatic Kitty artists (Castanets, Liz Janes, and Sufjan Stevens).

        Death Of London / Dobermann

        Split 7"

          Death of London – So you want to know about the sceptic's phenomenon know as Death of London eh? Well, they still are mighty young in band terms. Initially conceived at a Methodist Centre gig in September 2006, the tangible form transpired in February 2007 to unleash the dreamt about potential and here it now is. Wow! Aren't figures and facts great? Five or six practices later they only went and recorded "a pound. a bite." at dub:rek studios in derby. Not only did it sound good, field records wanted to put it out on the streets. Dobermann – A fissiped mammal with non-retractable claws squeezed into a 3 piece rock beat combo, have pinned firmly to the mast their riff based wizardry. No spell to difficult cast, no voyage too treacherous to undertake, these men are hell bent on delivering the finest quality riffage this fair and pleasant land can offer. With an unlikely background in Martial arts and Military service, Dobermann create what can be described as 'rock' music, the way it should be, without a can of hairspray, or sniff of spandex in sight. Beware you have been warned.

              Death Of A Band

                Debut EP from this Manchester based five piece who've been peddling their own brand of dandy-rock across the city since the start of 2006. The EP features four tracks: the title track is an insight into the chaos of a band hurtling towards destruction, "Preensters" rails against the shallowness and desperation of figures that writhe in the darkness around them, "Leaving Soon" is a heartfelt plea from a character who is trapped in the daily grind of 9 to 5, and the EP finishes with the leftfield pop of "(My Girlfriend Is Like A) Trojan Horse".
