Promo & Download :: Alexx Chalise – Break Me
A little while back I received an email from a singer/songwriter from all the way across the pond in L.A. That singer was Alexx Calise. She sent me a track from her new album stating that I might like "the esoteric rock/punk styling" of her music. Well, she wasn’t wrong; her mix of rock and electonica is a refreshing mix which works surprisingly well.
A couple of her songs are circulating MTV reality shows and some of those angsty American sitcoms like One Tree Hill. I had a listen a few times and I have to say that I like it. The electronica elements at the start grab my attention and as it goes on I can’t help but nod my head along to it.
So in my opinion we should all listen and pray to whichever deity that we choose that she comes across the water and plays some UK shows for us all.

Promo :: Editors – You Don’t Know Love (Caged Baby Remix)
Remember the stir between new and old fans of Editors with the release of In This Light and on This Evening last year?

Well, the no-man's land in Editors' sound that created the chasm of divide between you all seems to have been filled, strangely enough, by the release of You Don't Know Love, track four off the aforementioned record on January 25th,

We Say Summer… do you?
This is We Say Summer
, (the title was a giveaway,) not that they really need any introduction, this 5 piece “musical friendship team,” as they call themselves, have been making so much noise the past 12 months that O.A.P’s all over the U.K have been telling their grandchildren to “turn that racket down,” they must have feedback in their hearing aids, because the music is far from “racket.”
With hooks so big you could catch Moby Dick and live shows tighter than a pair of Speedos on Rick Waller's stunt double, there's no wonder that these boys are making a name for themselves in bedrooms and venues all across England and other parts.
Once hailed as one of the top ten pop-punk bands on MySpace (before they fucked up the genres), We Say Summer are gig buddies with all the top UK pop-punk bands, giants such as Saving Aimee, Me Vs. Hero and Not Advised all helping make them household names.
With an up and coming tour (see www.myspace.com/wesaysummer for dates) and a new E.P to be released this summer, the band can only get bigger and better, and with more penis jokes than you can shake, well you get the idea, there is bound to be some fucked up laughs a long the way.
You can download the band's new track, 'Good Times and Road Signs' here
To hear more of We Say Summer and to find out when they're in a town near you, check out their MySpace. The band's self titled EP is available on iTunes.
Had Jesus been de-homotised?
Is this a modern, cosmopolitan take on a love song? A stinging, satirical stab at society? Or, a bunch of people having a laugh with instruments?
You've got to love Iceland's quirkniess. If you can see these guys there (they rarely tour outside), then do; their live sets are just fantastic.

Free Track:: Moby – One Time We Lived (Matrix & Futurebound Remix)
Moby is perhaps best known for soulful, laid-back, slightly depressing tracks - that or his prodigal "Go," which no doubt contributed to the creation of modern club & rave music alike.
Matrix & Futurebound, producing individually under their corresponding aliases for some years, are already becoming a heavyweight duo in the world of Drum N Bass - even despite their first track together being a remix of Justin Timberlake's "Lovestoned" - which is quite frankly, horrific. Still, maybe we all have to do something a little cringe-worthy even now and then. Probably.
They really are more of a remix act, but that's not to say the tracks arn't original. M&F mix up punchy-as-fuck drums with plenty of melodic, trancey elements, and coupled with a vocal from whatever track they're remixing, it's more than likely a quality track. One Time We Lived is no exception, and definately worth a listen. In the grand scheme of things, if you hate it - you didn't pay for it. Hooray for the Internet!
