We Are Losers - Moany

We're very excited here at Dance to the Radio to be working with We Are Losers from Newbridge, County Kildare in Ireland. There's a double A-side single on its way in July with the stupidly infectious tracks Sunset Song / Cheerleader. Huge fuzzy guitar pop tunes with great harmonies. Like Raey said, bit like the Ramones meets the Beach Boys, close enough we suppose (but not really).
Here's another tune of theirs that you can have for nowt from http://dancetotheradio.bandcamp.com/, or just watch it (listen to it) loads and loads of times on Youtube, see here

Three Blind Wolves


So last night i was on my usual travels and caught Three Blind Wolves at Oporto. The band had traveled down from Glasgow, almost not making the gig when their van blew up just out of their hometown. Really impressed me, if you're into stuff like Neutral Milk Hotel, Fleet Foxes, Neil Young, Ryan Adams, Frightened Rabbit (well a mix of a lot of stuff) they might well be your thing.

Anyway the band are in Leeds at Live at Leeds on May 1st to check out again and their are a some limited copies of their new album on the DTTR shop for a fiver, bargain!
