What I like... The Good Natured - Prisoner
9:17 PM
The Good Natured are an electropop trio from Berkshire, United Kingdom. The band consists of singer-songwriter Sarah McIntosh, her brother Hamish McIntosh on bass and George Hinton on drums.
The Good Natured, recently signed to Regal/Parlophone Records, offer a catchy gothic twist on electropop with their new EP titled Skeleton, released on 20 June 2011. In the songs featured on the Skeleton EP, Sarah displays her compellingly mature command of the nuances of serious pop music, combined with the darker, and often more sensual, emotional and lyrical content of the gothic. Both “Skeleton” and “Wolves” are produced by Patrik Berger, known for his work with Robyn. Facebook

Alabama Shakes - Dynamic Blues & Garage-rock
12:28 PM
Her taste in music was considerably more esoteric than the typical teen in a small-town northern Alabama high school. “I spent a lot of time with my grandmother’s music: Dion, the Platters, the Drifters, the Temptations – I grew up on that,” she says. Later she discovered T. Rex and David Bowie, and got her education in roots music from Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones albums.
Band Members:
Brittany Howard - Lead Singer
Heath Fogg - Guitarist
Zac Cockrell - Bassist
Steve Johnson - Drummer

Cheap Curls (former Dum Dum Girl) - Bittersweet power pop
9:46 PM
"I've wanted Katie Brouillette-Serbian, bassist, guitarist, vocalist, and more importantly, song writer for Cheap Curls to record an album of her bittersweet power pop since I first met her nearly a decade ago. At the time, she was very much in love with my best friend who was constantly promoting her prolific song writing prowess to me. At that point, however, Katie was stricken with fright when it came down to sharing her home recorded bedroom pop. Katie strummed on, continuing to discover new personal ground and gain the courage that only these turbulent and accelerated times call for. She joined the much loved maudlin act Dum Dum Girls and began traveling the world consistently even recording on the act's second full length release, Only In Dreams. Katie had grown up, so to speak, in clubs and on festival stages around the world and was now confident both in her musical and personal life enough to call time on her position in Dum Dum Girls and begin the exciting stages of recording and releasing an album of her own.She's an exciting musical mind who can wail like Dolly Parton "In Your Arms", and serenade like Roy Orbison in "Message". She also has an exceeding amount of chops as heard on the Blondie-esque "Jackie Oh." Songwriters such as Paul Weller and Pete Perrett are seemingly over looked on American shores. Let's give Cheap Curls the praise she deserves. The debut EP will be released on California's Art Fag Recordings this year."
- Charles Rowell (Crocodiles/Psychic Dancehall)
