The weekend has arrived once again, which means it's time for my (irregular) feature, five new bands for the weekend. Hey ho, let's go... 1) The Ropes Sultry boy-girl duo from New York. More of a fashion statement than a band, but I think I quite like them.
2) DD/MM/YYYY (pictured) Jumpy Canadian math rockers. Like Foals without the haircuts. It's pronounced 'Day Month Year'. Just so you know.
3) Mirrors Brightonian trio of indie boys with synths and a well-thumbed copy of Simon Reynolds' Rip It Up and Start Again. Like Depeche Mode on a downer.
4) Crystal Antlers Rather wonderful, yelping Californians. I'd say they're a little bit psychedelic, but that could just be because they feature what sounds like a Hammond organ. And we all know that Hammond organs are the official sound of psychedelic rock.
5) Juan Maclean He's the next LCD Soundsystem. You know, if you haven't really listened to LCD Soundsystem. Or Daft Punk. Or the Human League. Or anything released by DFA Records. Or funky house. Despite this, I still very much enjoyed his album, The Future Will Come.
