Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues by McLusky

Standard

Who doesn’t like watching cats synced to music?

Mclusky offer up this energy infused masterpiece with one of the best titled songs I’ve heard in a while. This is off their second album, Mclusky Do Dallas.

I’ve only just discovered this now defunct Welsh band, after hearing a song of their’s on the TV show, One Tree Hill. They’ve four albums, three of which were released before their breakup in 2005, and all of them sated with angst-filled songs. Crank their tunes, and get ready for the original flash-mob known as the mosh pit.

Monster by The Automatic

Standard

A cute video about looking for monsters.

The Automatic belt out this nice little dance-punk number. This song sounds a lot like an old fave of mine, At The Drive In. This is off their album, Not Accepted Anywhere.

This band from Wales, and have released 3 albums so far. Their music alternates between hard indie rock and dance-punk. I’m more partial to the later category, but if you like either, give them a listen.

 

Dakota by Stereophonics

Standard

An chroma key driving video. Well at least it’s a nice red Mustang.

Stereophonics, a Welsh indie-rock band, hit the big time in the UK with this song, and made a small impact on the North America indie charts.

They released 9 albums so far (one live, and one compilation), and should be getting a lot more exposure than they are getting. So what are you waiting for people, pick up a CD today. You’ll seem cool to your friends for listening to a Brit band not big over here.
