Tender Trap

Tender Trap - Dansette Dansette

Deeply serious but yet hilarious third album from Tender Trap, whose 60's superficial girl pop influences are underscored with a gritty sense of feminism


Tender Trap

Tender Trap - Girls with Guns

Superb free download single from indie pop act Tender Trap, which finds front woman Amelia Fletcher retruning to the punk energy of her earlier bands Talulah Gosh and Heavenly


Various

Various - The Matinee Grand Prix

Versatile indie pop on compilation album from Matinee Records, which has tracks amongst others from Tender Trap, the Lucksmiths and Strawberry Whiplash


George Thomas and the Owls

George Thomas and the Owls - Laughing At The Raging Sea

Difficult, but ultimately rewarding folk rock on first album from darkly humorous Manchester-based act, George Thomas and the Owls


Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand - Tonight : Franz Ferdinand

Innovative third album from Franz Ferdinand, upon which while they experiment with various genres, shows that that they have lost none of their ability to write superb pop tunes


Lucksmiths

Lucksmiths - Up With the Sun

Finely executed, but totally predictable indie pop on new double A-sided download single from the Lucksmiths
