I don’t like this band but at least it is news

Jesse James have flown out to San Francisco to record a new album at Fat Mike’s Motor Studios. Ryan Greene (of No Use and many others fame) will handle the production duties. The album will be released on Golf in September.

Frenzal Rhomb – Sans Souci

An infectious funeral

Funeral For A Friend have signed to Infectious Records (a subsiduary of Warners I’m told) and will release ‘Juno‘ as a single in July. Their debut album, provisionally named ‘Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation’ will follow later this year, probably after an appearance
