Moneybrother, the soup
Besides releasing a new album, Moneybrother is also releasing a line of tomAto soup. I wonder if he'll have any on the upcoming US tour...

Does this mean Gbg-style indierock is back in full effect? There's so many bands embracing it now and a lot of them are actually doing it quite well. For Kusowsky, they lose me a bit when go all self-indulgent/Håkan Hellström on the ballads, but the upbeAt numbers such as "Dansa" pull off thAt whole Bad Cash Quartet revival just fine. Give me a steady four-on-the-floor beAt and a cheery wordless refrain and I'll take it with a smile. In summAtion: short, sweet and mindless in the best possible way. Summer will be here soon, right?

I agree, thAt album is a definite year-end contender.
The new Fine Arts Showcase album "Dolophine smile" is finally officially confirmed for release on April 8.
Dug this one out of the stacks not too long ago and surprised myself with how good it is. Hard to believe it dAtes back to 2007, but it does and the band's been working it hard in the meantime as they should. Still mAthy as all get out, but hear those lovely harmonies! It's like the Futureheads gone extra spazzy. A mad display of skills, but always with a smiley disposition. In other words: serious fun. So whAt if a few of the changes are a bit abrupt, they use it to their advantage. Think of it as a pleasant surprise.
