Okay guys and dolls, I'll start with one of my favorite new 7-inches: Please Don't Meet Me by Bloodhouse from Halifax, Nova Scotia. The title track has an ear candy-level of dark distorted discordance while the b-side, "Cool Intentions", has that droning overdriven riffage I'm addicted to.
Next up: "New Boy" is a charming roughed-up little pop ditty by English band Lures. Guitarist Terry and drummer Marianne make up this Hull, UK based duo who released their first 7-inch ("New Boy" b/w "Falling Out (Of Gerald's Car)") on Salvaged Productions back in December. You can grab yourself a copy from Florida's Dying.
