Catching up: John Erle: Jason Isbell, St. Peter's Autograph - Lovely guitar work, has a very early 70s feel to it all, matched perfectly by the vocals. Starting to bare fruit listening to more of his work. Jason Isbell, Only Children - Didn't work for me so much this time, just kind of passed over m...

Catching up: JohnErle: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead, Who Haunts The Hunter, Dont Look Down - The first one has a decent bit of shoegaze going on in it, but ultimately not one of my favourites from the record, but yay! You finished with my favourite song of that album! Don't Look Dow...

Round 37 JohnErle: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead, Something Like This - Not a particular favourite of mine from the record, but the chorus is cool. Leestu: OSees, Terminal Jape - Two OSees songs in two days will always go down well with me. Love Dwyer's vocals on this one. Shryke: C...

Catching up on Round 39 and 38: JohnErle: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead, Gone and Into The Godless Void - I listened to this record quite a bit at the start of last year. Its decent with these being perfectly good examples of the quality and variety of the sound. Like the build up to...

Round 40 JohnErle: Heartless Bastards, Revolution - Good strong vocals, had a kind of Jason Pierce-esque sound to it all at the start as it builds, but then turns into some sort of average indie pop song in the second half. Leestu: Violent Soho, Lying On The Floor - Very grunge-y, almost a little to...

Round 41 Leestu: The Avalanches, Take Care In Your Dreaming - I will be honest, after adoring Since I Left You, I had huge hopes for their second record eventually released a few years ago. And it really let me down. Subsequently I never bothered listening to the new album, but I will be adding it ...

Round 42 Leestu: Enola Gay, The Birth Of A Nation - Expected as much with the title but this was a powerful song. Not heard of them before but will check out their stuff. Screen: Lady Gaga, Stupid Love - Was the Lady Gaga record so good last year to deserve two songs on our countdown thus far? This...

Round 43 Leestu: Tired Lion, Lie To Me - To be honest, it was pretty forgettable. Didn't really have a hook to speak of, the vocals could have literally been anyone from the past 20 years and it just felt like a tired retread of what had been done many, many times before. Maybe it's the nostalgia f...
