VALLEY BELOW

Valley Below is getting ready to release their second album Dog Day. The release date is 22.01.2010, but you can already listen to three songs on their myspace. My favourite is the last one called Kick-Off. Somehow it makes me think of Poverty Stinks which is a good thing.

Oh.. and that albums of the year list. It’s actually finished. I’ll start the countdown thingy tomorrow evening / night and work from the 40th place to the album of the year. That album of the year should be revealed on sunday at the latest. I’ll try to add 10 every day and that would mean it should be done on friday night. But in case I’m busy it might take a day or two longer. I will see how many times I can still change my mind about the first place during this countdown. It was a battle between TAB and BE and I had a hard time deciding. But now I’m fairly confident that I’ve made my decision… or maybe not…

Koria Kitten Riot’s self-titled debut album was released on 28th of october. A big thank you to Solmu Records for releasing it. I don’t have it yet, but I’m definitely going to buy it. You can listen to sound clips on his myspace.
