Run Rabbit Run

Frightened Rabbit
From: Selkirk, Scotland, United Kingdom

Frightened Rabbit precede their 3rd full length studio album, ‘The Winter Of Mixed Drinks’ with a brand new single ‘Nothing Like You’ on February 22nd, backed with another new song, ‘Learned Your Name’. Furiously upbeat, ‘Nothing Like You’ s acoustic bustle is reminiscent of The Cure’s classic, ‘Inbetween Days’ and mines the most uptempo aspects of Scott Hutchisons songwriting. The new album is due for release on 1st March.

‘Nothing Like You’ typifies a more fully realised Frightened Rabbit sound, and like ‘Swim Until You Can’t See Land’ (check it out on the Devil's blog Rabbit Droppings) boasts a stunning string arrangement from labelmate, Hauschka. Speaking to nme.com about the new album, lead singer Scott Hutchison explained ‘We've broadened our horizons sonically and it feels like a natural move forward. Most importantly, it’s better than the last one. That's all I wanted, really.’

Elephant Rocks

Death Of The Elephant
From: Essex, London, United Kingdom

Death Of The Elephant is a great name for a World Wide Fund for Nature campaign or a David Attenborough documentary but as a name for a back to basics punk band well I'm not so sure.

But don't be put off by the name this is a band who go for the throat. Guitars so sharp they could cut your throat while lead singer Dee screams and screeches like a riott grrrl at a beauty pageant. It's intense, raucous garage punk like a head on collision between X Ray Spex and Bikini Kill.

If this elephant is dying it's taking you and your hearing with it!

The Sting

The Sumner Brothers
From: Canada

'Country' music even when it's rebadged as Americana misses the target more often than it hits. Ok Americana swept away the dead dogs and divorce while keeping the desperation but, with the odd exception, it doesn't stir this Devil's soul.

Every now and then a 'country' artist is able to touch parts that other artists can't. Canadian roots rockers The Sumner Brothers (no relation to Sting you'll be pleased to know) are one of those artists. The brothers, yes for once they are, come highly recommended and are Samantha Parton of the The Be Good Tanyas' new favourite band.

Check out the brilliant 'Both Back', a cry of pain, of loss, of anger. It's a cry from the depths of the second stage of grief, the anger, the rage against the world at the loss of a loved one. 'I want him back I want them both back'. Such a simple sentence but it says more about loss than the outpourings of the grief industry ever could.

Fez

London four piece Fez have already been recommended by the Devil's good friends over at MP3Hugger and they're always spot on. If you missed them they are uncomplicated straight up indie like your grandad used to love who make a decent racket on their secondhand ebay acquired equipment. It's shiny happy music.
