Given To The Wild - The Maccabees.

Very rare for a band to do a quality third album. Many bands get "third album syndrome" and do shit, not them, their new album is class, topping, genius.

This would easily be up there for me! I must also say he is a class act live, so much energy, has a real enthusiasm for music, enjoy.

who's that band that did that single that was at no. 1 for a while a couple of weeks back, was it 'someone i used to know'? just curious if anyone bought the album and if it was any good?

Like Blood Red Shoes too.

Album i'm most looking forward to is 'In the belly of the brazen bull' by The Cribs

Gotye. He's a male singer himself, not a band. However "Somebody That I used to know" is featuring female singer Kimbra.

cheers, any good?

I haven't got it myself, however, there are many reviews on the internet that may be worth a read. Also, I imagine the majority (if not all) songs will be on youtube for a listen, that's what a shot before you buy (if you do)

This.

Even though it was great to Johnny Marr playing with them, I think they're much better off as a three piece and if the songs they've already released are anything to by it should be a fantastic album.


My favourite albums of the year so far are the Howler album and The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit

I'm putting a bet on that Django Django will be nominated for the Mercury. Other than that, The Maccabees album is quite astonishing in places.
