News: TV-Resistori

No Comments

Today is a good day. TV-Resistori’s long-awaited third album will hit the record stores and our hearts. I’m extremely excited about this one, because it’s been five years since the previous album and I’m in desperate need of some ingenious indie pop songs. TV-Resistori have always been able to deliver the good stuff and I’m 100% sure that the new album will be lovely and totally amazing. It will be released by Fonal Records who has created this wonderful soundcloud set to introduce old and new masterpieces from the band. The first 4 tracks are from the new self-titled album.

News: Mighty Clouds in Finland

No Comments

Indie pop guru Fred Thomas is touring in Finland with his new band Mighty Clouds. Fred Thomas used to be the genius behind a band called Saturday Looks Good To Me who created some fabulous pop albums. Especially All Your Summer Songs is one of my favourite indie pop albums ever released. The other and equally important member of Mighty Clouds is Betty Marie Barnes (who has also featured on Saturday Looks Good To Me) and together they created a beautiful pop album that came out late last year. You can listen to the album on their bandcamp page.

Next week they are playing three shows in Finland. The dates are as follows:

4.4. Bar Loose, Helsinki (with Johnny Got It Wrong)
5.4. Telakka, Tampere (with Johnny Got It Wrong)
6.4. Dynamo, Turku (with Cat & Lynx)

NT’s White Trash

No Comments

Some great news. NT’s White Trash’s debut album Mourning Becomes Electric will be released on 18th of may by Stupido Records. What the hell is NT’s White Trash you might ask. Well I didn’t know either before I got the e-mail. It’s ex-Treeball & ex-Supermodel Nick Triani’s new group. The band also features other finnish indie heroes Janne Lehtinen, Heikki Tikka and Henrik Domingo. It’s pretty hard to make final conclusions about their sound based on one song so let’s steal Nick’s words from their soundcloud page:

“NT’s White Trash is loose and ragged by choice, and an opportunity to bridge the gap between my old band Supermodel’s lo-fi thrash and Treeball’s more considered pop. The album title refers to this new opportunity to turn things up!”

Listen to the first outtake The Whistle from the upcoming album below. Sounds great if you ask me.
