I've seen this work quite nicely on other forums, might be worth a go here. The deal is, say whether or not you like the previous song and give a short of review of it. So, we're avoiding short yes or nos!
Then you post a song you like in return, and it carries on.
I'll kick it off with "Capitol" by Trust.

I liked the song. To me it sounds like electro/synth version of Interpol, or at least as a colaboration of Paul Banks with Ki:Theory or something like that.
Never heard of this band before though, so this is a good reason to explore them.
And this is my video:

I liked your song jayfreeman, woke me up nicely with my coffee this morning. It made me think of Reason Is Treason and DJ Shadow. I do like this sort of loud, fast tempo songs. It also reminded me of Lysergic Suite's Earth and Water, because it's also a dark, fast song like this with somebody speaking over it. A random song that came on shuffle, O Emperor's Don Quixote. I saw them supporting Kasabian in May and really liked them. |

I wanted to skip a turn, but nobody posts anything, so here is my review. And cuttoff, what you said about PSB, are exatly the reasons why i like them;) About Don Quixote - O Emperor is unfortunately one of a number of underestimated british bands, maybe because prog-rock is not very popular at the moment. But they have a very decent sound, at least their first album. This song is one of my two favourites on this album. Rich sound, carefully put together with a little of folk, a little of prog and a little of something else. Gives me warm calm feeling like a good portion of choco milk;) And this is a new song |

Aye, that was alright, Jay. Quite sparse in terms of vocal melody, but what was there stuck in my head after the song had finished, which I suppose is a good sign. I liked some of the older sounding synths that popped in and out, and the singer reminded me a little of an ethereal young Dave Gahan! Quite cinematic, I pictured a near-future thriller unfolding during the opening credits.
I'll nominate The Complete Knock by Blood Orange. Can't stop listening to it. It's Dev Hynes, who kicked about as Lightspeed Champion, and was one third of Test Icicles before that. He's moved to America and likes Prince nowadays, I think...

Wow! This is a really nice way to combine funk with indie pop, or whatever they call it nowadays. Sounds very balanced. Can see why it has narcotic effect on you - in fact i have already listened to the whole album and it is quite a decent pop record!
So this was a good one. Will try to match it with a crazy song from a crazy band. Here are The Dandy Warhols.

Bit too long for me, good sounds coming from it but.
This song is by The Echo Raptors from Belfast.

I like it, it's sort of big and bold. Although sounds a bit too Britpop-y for me, made me think of Oasis and Suede. The singer's voice reminds me somebody else but can't figure it out who. Maybe Modern Faces?
Speaking of Suede, here is one of their songs I love (or are we supposed to post only new and unknown songs?)
