FUTURE SOUNDS DEBUTS - 8.5.08

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

THE CUTE LEPERS

FROM: Seattle
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/thecutelepers
LABEL: Blackheart Records

So I nicked this song off of good 'ol Rodney Bingenheimer's show on KROQ and it's everything I love about his taste and connection to RAMONES-inspired garage rock.

VERTIGO SMYTH
FROM: Ireland
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/vertigosmyth
Unsigned

I don't know much about VERTIGO SMYTH, other than he's unsigned and he's brilliant. This track, "Comfort Me" is warm and ready for some huge TV campaign.

CAPITAL
FROM: Brighton, UK
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/capitalmyspace
LABEL: Fandango Label

Another young band bubbling up from Fandango land (last time they brought us FOUR DEAD IN OHIO) and this one is currently getting attention in the UK as their debut single.

THE LOCARNOS
FROM: Taunton, UK
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/thelocarnos
LABEL: South West Recordings (UK)

It's KOOKS fever in the UK these days, and THE LOCARNOS have tapped into the formula and are getting plays on Lamacq and Lowe in London.

AFTERNOONS
FROM: Los Angeles
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/afternoonsmusic
Unsigned

Formerly IRVING, a FS favorite from FS01, they just got off a monthly residency in LA that had everyone talking, complete with OBEY posters. This song is simply terrific - a triumph!

YOUNG COYOTES
FROM: Denver, CO
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/youngcoyotes
Unsigned

Thanks to the Diablo, I'm howlin' over Denver's YOUNG COYOTES. Simple, straightforward indie rock on THE DODOS side of the tracks.
