If you haven't heard of Late of the Pier, you must have been living under a rock. They've been around for a while and have got a fair amount of airplay and music channel play. They're the sort of band you can't listen to without moving your feet or singing along. These gorgeous boys from Nottingham have that addictive nature which makes them such great listening. The new double a-side The Space and the Woods/Focker is bound to become massive and the album promised at numerous interviews with the band is becoming more and more anticipated.
Since the first release of The Space and the Woods, almost a year ago, it is amazing how far the band have come. They've evolved from a bedroom band to a record label-signed ballad band. I recommend anyone reading snaps up what they can of Late of the Pier and brings it where ever they go. Best thing to come out of 2008 so far is definitely Late of the Pier's increasing notoriety.
May has so far seen the release of some great albums. Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip's long-awaited debut album 'Angels' was released on 12th May and is looking at a top-10 place in the charts, which is well deserved. The album has obviously had alot of time, work and thought put into it. It's had 4 singles released so far off it, and it is clear that they have come far from the first hit single, 'Thou Shalt Always Kill'. Get this album how ever you can, it's worth it.
Hadouken! also released their debut album 'Music for an Accelerated Culture' this week. Sadly, they haven't quite been able to achive the greatness of past tracks, and the hype surrounding this album seems a little wasted. Anyway, its worth getting if you've been a fan over the last 2 years, just to remember thinking they were really cool.
Remember, if you are in a band or would like to reccomend one, don't hesitate to leave a link or comment on THE ANTI's Myspace, www.myspace.com/theantimusicblog
