 If you haven't already bought Delorean's latest album, 'Subiza', I suggest you get up and go and purchase it right now! It's definitely one of the best albums to come out of 2010, and that says a lot. This week see's the release of their second single, 'Real Love', which drops via True Panther and features an array or remixes from the likes of The Field, Deadboy and Tiedye. The Barcelona quartet are heading our way for the Parklife Festivals in Sep/Oct and would have to be my personal favorite from the lineup.

Here's a new vid for Heretics, a post-punk, new wave outfit from Bath, UK. The duo are currently working on their debut album and have recently done an amazing cover of Klaxons latest single, 'Echoes' which you can listen to here.
If you're a fan of acts like Depeche Mode, then you'll definitely be a fan of Heretics.

L E S ∆ N D S

In this glacial winter we're experiencing here in Melbourne, it's always nice to come across a band that transports you to a beach somewhere and that warms the soul. LES∆NDS are a quartet coming out of San Diego, California that are temporarily unsigned with massive label interest. With their forthcoming debut EP on it's way, 'Pretenders' is the perfect introduction to a band bound for big things.

Siriusmo is the fucking man! Ze German producer extraordinaire has just dropped his brand new EP, 'The Plasterer Of Love' which is nothing short of fantastic. It's hard to pick a winner out of the five tracks on the record, but here's a little taster to give you some idea. Please do yourself a favour and buy the whole thing here.

Cymbals are a London band, who for the meantime are keeping a pretty low profile. With only two songs circulating the interwebs, I've been left feeling pretty starved and hungry to hear more. Check out the amazing 'Summer Job' and their cover of Pavement's 'Kennel District'. More please.
