Mando Diao: Down In The Past
Mando Diao’s early albums sound very brit-pop, almost to the point that I think I am listening to an early Oasis B-Side. Their second album, Hurricane Bar was released in 2004 and although Mando Diao’s main fan base is Sweden, Germany and Japan, this album was well received in the UK (the single [...]
Pinback: Syracuse
This song is not about the Syracuse, in Central New York, that is for sure. I’m not even sure if this uber-cool song from Indie-Rock band Pinback is named after Siracusa, in Italy. I wish I could ask them, but as I’m not in the vicinity of San Diego I’d probably have [...]
Flogging Molly: Factory Girls
Flogging Molly are as Irish as a California can get, as this is where the band was formed by Irishman Dave King, who moved to L.A. in his twenties. Their musical output consists of the expected Irish drinking songs (Drunken Lullabies), fast paced sea-shanties (Salty Dog), and traditional Irish ballads such as this [...]
Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Wizards in Winter

I know I will have explored their [...]
Razorlight: In The City
Razorlight, an Anglo-Swedish band that was formed in 2002 are nothing new. But I love them, and I’m surprised to learn that I hadn’t previously posted one of their tracks. Their debut album, “Up All Night” was released in 2004, and billed the band as the UK’s very own version of The Strokes. [...]
The Zutons: Zuton Fever
It’s time to bring out the monster hiding under your bed or in your closet, because here comes another spine-tingling tune! Yes, go bring him out, and put this tune on so he can rock out because you do not want a bad tempered monster! Whenever a band has an unusual twist, [...]
Embrace: Looking As You Are
I told the devil and the deep blue sea to hide.
I thought that you were after them.
I was right.
Have you ever heard of Chris Martin and Coldplay? Yes, of course! Well, what about the McNamara brothers and Embrace? You should have! They’re well-known in the UK, but not so much [...]
