Proving that isn’t the case though come Ejectorseat, a band that through a lot of hard work and some cracking tunes could… EP 2008-05-16T18:00:00+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/the-last-tycoon-peter-moren/ Peter Moren is better known as one third of Norwegian super-whistle group Peter Bjorn and John, who shot to fame and possibly a small level of personal fortune with the hit single Young Folks, last year. Taking a well earned rest from the burden of playing that and other… Album 2008-05-16T17:34:00+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/mejico-maxico-mexican-institute-of-sound/ Mexican Institute of Sound (aka Camilo Lara) steps away from his day job for a time to release his new album. Following hot on the heels of last years Pinata comes the new effort Mejico Maxico. The head honcho at EMI Mexico takes his computer and collection of vinyl… Album 2008-05-16T16:24:00+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/the-barbarians-move-in-duels/ Duels are another fine Leeds band, who seem to have really grown in confidence and stature between the release of new album The Barbarians Move In and it’s predecessor The Bright Lights And What I Should Have Learned. Live they are a visceral band that feed on intensity… Album 2008-05-14T18:14:00+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/267d-cranmore-boulevard-rain/ I’m not sure if the name is meant to be ironic, but there is certainly nothing dull, miserable, overcast or in the least bit rainy from these three elder statesmen who call themselves Rain. The people in question are Alan Sinnett, Matthew Corbett and Mike Wilkie.… Album 2008-05-14T17:56:01+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/bleeding-all-over-you-martha-wainwright/ I know this is something that will no doubt be hotly disputed by many people in the music fraternity who disagree with me, but I really do think Martha Wainwright is the most talented member of her illustrious family. I loved her self titled album, she contributed the best song to the… Single 2008-05-14T17:50:00+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/hooray-the-delays/ I wasn’t a huge fan of The Delays when they first burst onto the scene five or six years ago, their jangly pop melodies didn’t really do much for me and the fact that indie girls seemed more fascinated by their looks than their sound kind of grated as well. Yeah I know I’m… Single 2008-05-14T16:59:00+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/uncovered-ep-rosabella-gregory/ Rosabella Gregory introduces us to her dynamic piano and vocal sound with the six track Uncovered EP, mixing up folk, classical and jazz influences across a generally enjoyable EP. Her songs are striking lyrically as she tends to write from a third prsdon perspective with her… EP 2008-05-13T19:25:01+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/elephant-shell-tokyo-police-club/ Memphis Industries have been one of my favourite record labels in recent years giving us great music by the likes of The Go! Team and Broadway Project, unfortunately though they seem to have gone off the boil a little over the last twelve months and The Go! Team second album being a… Album 2008-05-13T18:38:00+00:00 http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/after-the-garden-phil-campbell/ I’ve not been a long time follower of Phil Campbell so apologies if i’m wrong on this one, but from what I can gather his ‘new’ album After The Garden seems to be a right royal shafting for any of his loyal fans that he’s picked up along the way. The… Album 2008-05-13T16:25:00+00:00
