Listen to these, they're on my Stereo!

It was never going to take long before I felt the need to share some of my current listening delights with the blogging world. I've recently had the pleasure and time to revisit and discover bands that were before my time. However, no matter how many new noises tease my ears, I have found myself listening to the usual sounds at the end of the cold and lonely night.

Anyway, these two bands are really tickling my fancy and I believe they'll be tickling your ears a lot more in the not so distant future:

Dinosaur Pile-Up

THE coolest new band to arise from the mucky surroundings of Leeds and brainchild of Matthew Bigland, formerly of alt-rockers Mother Vulpine.

Ultimately raw with melodies and riff's galore, Matt tells tales of his misfortunes and desires in their jam-packed, quick-hitting pop tunes. They entertained the crowds at this years Leeds and Reading Festival and are picking up adoring fan's daily, possibly with the help of Drowned In Sound and NME bigging them up. They've also secured a tour support slot with The Automatic, whom I expect to be crushed Jurassic Park style.

Keep tabs on them for announcement's of their debut single and tour.
In the meantime, they feature on the brilliant On The Bone Records compilation number two, so go and buy that before they get massive.

Vivian Girls

Three hot girls playing carefree shoegaze tunes was always going to be a hit with my eyes and ears. I am quickly falling in love. They play out in Brooklyn, New York City and have their self-titled debut album released on the 7th of October. You can pre-order that shit right here from Rough Trade Records.

They seem to be pretty busy ladies, currently displaying an impressive tour on their Mypsace page. They'll be playing in and out of jaunts across, up and down the US of A, some parts of Canada and thank fucking God, England. Along the way they shall be sharing the stage with the likes of Jay Reatard, Times New Viking, Deerhunter and Fucked Up. See them at the Cockpit in Leeds on the 7th December.
