We'll Live and Die in These Towns

Wait for Me Debut album from hotly tipped Leeds band, includes the singles `Romantic Type', `I Found Out' and `I'm Not Sorry'. Produced by Will Jackson (Kaiser Chiefs, Embrace) and mixed by Cenzo Townshend (Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party).	Age of the Understatement Famous for demonstrating how less is more when it comes to publicity, it comes as no surprise that The Age of the Understatement, the first side project from Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys, should appear to no great fanfare. The Last Shadow Puppets are Turner and Miles Kane, f...	Forth Something happens when the Verve are together that none of them experience when they are apart. Individually, the Verve are all highly-accomplished players. Singer Richard Ashcroft has been called the greatest singer in the world by no less a peer than Coldplay s Chris Martin. Li...	A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation Eagerly awaited 2007 debut album by Liverpool's favorite trio. Produced by the band with Stephen Harris (Kaiser Chiefs, Ben Kweller) and mixed by Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand). A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation is an astoundingly accomplished debut; a collection of, irr...	Here We Stand In spite--or perhaps because of--being written off by many critics as a commercial pub-rock outfit, Glaswegian band The Fratellis have managed to procure themselves a fairly prodigious fan base. Their catchy songs, gigantic hooks and good-time lyrics have earned the band an army ...
Viva La Vida To say there has been a lot of anticipation for Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida, is an understatement. Having enlisted legendary leftfield producer Brian Eno, borrowed their album title from a painting by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and made tantalising remarks abou...	Dig Out Your Soul Oasis, one of the most commercially successful rock bands in history, joins Warner Bros (for North America) for the iconic British band's seventh studio album (produced by Dave Sardy), Dig Out Your Soul.

Antidotes It's hardly the cure for anything but Antidotes, the debut album from Oxford's Foals, is a strong addition to the eternal tradition of dance-friendly art rock most recently exemplified by Franz Ferdinand and Klaxons. The five ex-public schoolboys that make up Oxford's Foals are h...	Brain Thrust Mastery Brooklyn's We Are Scientists make it to their second album, Brain Thrust Mastery, a man down--drummer Michael Tapper departed the band in late 2007--but with a new sound and a refreshed ambition. While 2005's With Love and Squalor marked them out as The Strokes' preppier cousins,...

Polished indie has never sounded better
The Enemy were the winners of the Best New Band award at the 2007 Q Awards, and they certainly deserve the title. They sound like a more polished version of bands like Arctic Monkeys and The Pigeon Detectives, which means they will appeal to a much broader audience. They're a kind of band with a little bit for everybody: they have songs with truly meaningful lyrics (the best examples of this: 'You're Not Alone' and 'It's Not Okay'), they have slower songs (like 'Happy Birthday Jane'), and they have the more raw sounding songs that fans of the aforementioned bands Arctic Monkeys and The Pigeon Detectives will enjoy (like 'Technodanceaphobic' and '40 Days and 40 Nights'). This album went almost instantly on my list of favourites when I listened to it, because it was consistently good all the way through, and the 'low points' (like 'Happy Birthday Jane' and 'We'll Live and Die in These Towns,' the album's title track) really weren't all that low- in fact, they were better than most of the songs you hear on the average American radio station. This is a must have for anybody into British indie rock, and for anyone looking to get into it and needs a starting point. It was, in my opinion, one of the best albums of 2007.

GREAT BAND
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT BAND! I WISH THEY WOULD COME TO THE USA FOR A TOUR. CLASS LADS!!!

Boring
This is really boring over-hyped British rock à la Arctic Monkeys. Do not get me wrong, it is not as horrible as it may sound but these bands do tend to sound the same a bit nowadays and one grows tired of them.

Great Album
I really enjoyed this album from the first song on. If you like bands like The Killers, The Bravery, Modest Mouse, and Kings of Leon you should definately give this album a listen to.
