Eight Bullets for Shiny Toy Guns -

1. They are from America.

2. They make pop music which sounds like rock music and rock music which sounds like dance music. I'll refer to their sound as 'emotronica' until something better comes along.

3. They have been knocking around for around eighty (ie four) years during which time they have been involved in some of the best pop photography of the 21st Century. (Who knew?)

4. They released their debut album in 2005.5. They released their debut album for a second time later in 2005

.6. They have now released their debut album for a third time (now in a slightly reswizzled form) in 2006.


7. "Le Disko" version 3 is some what the same as the original ... but different enough to make a new video for and release as the first single.

8. They're back with a second video and single to be released on April 2cd. "You Are The One" is electro pop at it's best features the boy doing most of this singing. (I prefer it that way!) Slightly disturbing like the first video but with more special effects ... Check it out below.

The Bird & The Bee -

Welcome to a world of elctro pop infused beats accompanied by 60's vocals. It's very Karen Carpenter meets Imogen Heap and had a child with Bjork and Daft Phunk as cousins... or something along those lines. The Bird & The Bee are becoming one of my favorite bands. With a little of this and a little of that on their self titled debut album I'm sure you can find something you like. Check out the goodies below ...
