On today's menu: pre-releases from Long Blondes, Mogwai, King Creosote, Guillemots, Scritti Politti, The Grates, Undercut, Mike Rosenberg Bandm The Mutts and more… Plus ticket giveaways, Resident’s recommended gig (Fratellis at Concorde 2) and album (Vetiver’s To Find Me Gone) and the demo clash (Deadbeat Descendent vs Striker). Delicious.
This week’s show is largely dedicated to the Great Escape, Resident’s gig of the week (if 180 bands over three days can be classed as a single gig) taking place in Brighton this week. We also have two competitions (tickets to see both Josh Ritter and Veto Silver) and hear a stack of pre-releases, including a track from Resident’s album of the week, Broken Boy Soldiers by the Raconteurs. Plus a corker of a demo clash (Zex vs Doll And The Kicks) and an oldie from the new Rip It Up post-punk compilation.

A leaning tower of pre-releases, plus: Fiery Furnaces and Tiger Army albums given away; Resident recommendations (album – Metallic Falcons; gig – The Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra; re-issue - Souxsie And the Banshees); and a corking demo clash between Doll And The Kicks and Deadbeat Descendent.
We speak live to Adem, it’s the Spectors vs Zex in the demo clash, and there’s a hint of Spiegeltent-inspired vaudeville decadence. Resident recommends Howling Bells as album of the week and Fiery Furnaces at Concorde 2 as their gig choice. Plus we have pre-releases from the likes of Graham Coxon, The Upper Room, Imogen Heap, Grandaddy and Marissa Nadler…
