Podcast #6

I hope everyone enjoyed Tara's podcast last month. Her diverse range of selections certainly helped me to discover a few worthy new bands - Ladyhawk in particular are going down very well over here - and I can only hope that my compilation will offer you similar rewards this month.

The more observant ones among you will notice that I've gone a bit Adam Franklin crazy on this podcast. The former Swervedriver man features twice here, once with The Setting Suns (his collaboration with Interpol's Sam Fogarino) and once as a solo artist. I nearly threw in an old Swervedriver classic for good measure but in the end there was just too much other stuff I wanted to include so I had to cut it.

New artists to watch out for this month are Black Moth Super Rainbow, Bang Gang and Muleskinner Jones. If you like what you hear please visit their websites (links below) and investigate them further. You won't be disappointed.
