Il nome dei Lunchbox non lo sentivo da un pezzo. Mi richiama alla memoria un periodo a cavallo tra i Novanta e i Duemila in cui cominciavo a cercare indiepop in Rete, e scoprivo per caso i primi mp3 legali su Epitonic o la prima versione di Emusic. Era un’epoca pre-Pitchfork, di NME già ci… Continue reading Lunchbox at Polaroid

Hobbes Fanclub at El Planeta Amarillo
Tras dos cd-singles compartidos con otras bandas en Cloudberry y Dufflecoat y un 7” de adelanto ya en Shelflife, el trío de Bradford formado por Leon Carroll (voz y guitarra), Louise Phelan (bajo y coros) y Adam Theakston (batería) publica su esperadísimo álbum de debut, un fantástico trabajo en el que encontramos once maravillosas joyas… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at El Planeta Amarillo
Hobbes Fanclub at Baby Sue
The debut full-length release from the Bradford, England-based band The Hobbes Fanclub. These folks make music that recalls the 1990s when underground guitar bands seemed to be just about everywhere. Those days may (sadly) be gone…but they make us appreciate those ultra cool bands out there who aren’t afraid to turn up their guitars and have… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Baby Sue
Luxembourg Signal at Indie 30
A veteran group of transatlantic indie pop artists well known to each other and middle aged indie tragics everywhere recently came together to form a new dream pop band The Luxembourg Signal and are set to drop their impressive debut record on all formats next month. Formed from bands such as Aberdeen, Fonda and Trembling… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Indie 30
Hobbes Fanclub at Raised by Gypsies
Bands like The Hobbes Fanclub don’t come around often enough because as is demonstrated on “Up at Lagrange” to have this sound is not something particularly uncommon so much as that it how they execute the sound so perfectly which makes it that much more special. In short, many bands will try and do what… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Raised by Gypsies
Hobbes Fanclub at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
The spaces in between have a duplicity, they can surge momentum or deliver dream crushing confusion. When people talk about doing something new, changing their lives, or even their wardrobe, a sickening doubt always hangs in the air. Is it worth risking everything you’ve ever known and distrusted to give into the lustful motion of… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Luxembourg Signal at Austin Town Hall
Our friend over at IPSML hit this track before us, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t give it some much deserved attention. The Luxembourg Signal, comprised of former Aberdeen and Trembling Blue Stars members, released a great single on Shelflife earlier this year, and it looks like that will be the home for what’s to come. There’s not a lot of information,… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Austin Town Hall
Luxembourg Signal at When You Motor Away
We featured the excellent two-track Distant Drive single from London/Los Angeles project The Luxembourg Signal in late April (link here). Today, we have for you another song, “We Go On”, and a reminder that the group will release and album later this year. Save your pennies — we think it will be good. [Link]

Hobbes Fanclub at 12XU
Das Shoegaze/Noisepop/C86-Revival der letzten Jahre ist ja mal ziemlich schnell ausgebrannt und den Weg aller kurzlebigen Indie-Hypes gegangen. Und ausgerechnet jetzt kommt da so eine Band aus Bradford dahergelaufen, die so tut als wäre diesbezüglich in den vergangenen fünf Jahren gar nix passiert. Somit weiß diese Platte dem Genre auch nicht viel neues hinzufügen, erinnert… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at 12XU
