FUTURE SOUNDS DEBUTS....

More information on bands that debuted this week on the FUTURE SOUNDS show....

TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB

FROM: Bangor, Northern Ireland
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/twodoorcinemaclub
Unsigned

3 piece from Northern Ireland should get a lot of attention quickly, every song they sent our way is excellent, high-energy stuff. Sort of a mix between VAMPIRE WEEKEND and DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE.

MEAN TAMBOURINES

FROM: Nashville, TN
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/meantambourines
Unsigned

This is the kind of band that should get snapped up by a bigger label quickly, they have that sound that's built for wide-scale attention. Download "A Flight A Crash" (mp3)

FOUR DEAD IN OHIO

FROM: London

This one came via the always ahead of the curve ears over at Fandango Records, and it instantly grabbed us. They've already played with The Raveonettes, The Duke Spirit, Ladytron and The Black Angels..some heavy company indeed. Download track "Jesus Won't Dance In My High Heels" it's blistering. (mp3)

THE RULING CLASS

FROM: London
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/therulingclassuk
Label Fandango

You thought I played a lost STONE ROSES song, but in fact, it's brand new from THE RULING CLASS. Their 'Tour De Force EP' is out now in the UK. Download "Flowers" (mp3)

BLACK SOUL STRANGERS
FROM: Dublin

MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/blacksoulstrangers
Faction Records (Ireland)

I've been getting tons of great music from Ireland recently, and getting geared up for a trip over in September for the Hard Working Class Heroes Festival. This band came via Faction Records, the label in Dublin that has been on fire with a string of Irish hits that are pushing the British acts out of the charts in Ireland.

BUTCHER BIRDS

FROM: Queensland, Australia
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/butcherbirds
Merenoise Records (Australia)

Australian four-piece of females that drop the heavy rock, dark and thick! They've since replaced the man (drummer) in the picture above, now we'd like to get them to the States!

THE AMERICAN GYPSIES

FROM: Los Angeles, California MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/theamericangypsies

Unsigned

This band from LA is nasty, snot-nosed, straight up rock and roll. Very diverse from track to track, I need to see this one live as soon as I can.

THE RED LABELS

FROM: Dublin
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/theredlabelsire
Unsigned

Wow! Some crazy-ass guitar work in all their songs, THE RED LABELS are on my Dublin hit list for the Sept HWCH Festival indeed. Download "Playdoh" (mp3)

RUMSPRINGA

FROM: Los Angeles
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/rumspringa
Cantora Records

This two piece plays on Saturday night with LEMON SUN at The Troubadour and they put on quite the live performance. Just blew out a monthly LA residency in June.

GANGI

FROM: Los Angeles
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/gangimusic
Office Of Analogue & Digital

This electronic/indie whiz kid recently left the East Coast for Los Angeles, and will be opening the Troubadour show on Saturday night. His full length, 'A', is something worth picking up.
