Tokyo Sex Destruction – “The Sounds From Your Soul” mp3
Another soulful hard rocker from Tokyo Sex Destruction (from Spain, don’t you know). Drawing inspiration from the 80’s punk-funk of Gang Of Four (haven’t they become a major influence on contemporary music!) and other more rootsy elements like The Zombies and The Stones, they manage to produce a sound of their own, and it rocks. “The Sounds from Your Soul” baby. Hit it and quit it.

Dengue Fever – “Sober Driver” mp3
Last year I wrote a post about Dengue Fever’s revival and revision of early Cambodian rock n’ roll. Initial reaction for most of us is, “Early Cambodian rock n’ roll?” Why yes, Dorothy. The story, now widely covered, has reached every corner of the globe, and the band, signed to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records has graduated from musicologist’s curiosity to legitimate international success. They sell out shows everywhere and they’ve stretched out into new directions, expanding their Khmer / English crossover to disco, dancehall, and any other form they care to play with. This late night duet between a drunken lass and her sober, fed up BF, “Sober Driver,” is a tightly rehearsed, softly swaggering, and truly international music potion. Drink up.

Mercury White – “Sticks and Stones” mp3
Ah fun, a swingin’ clever and original bit of pop rock with lo and behold a nice blend of passion and professionalism. Ya think? Way. Lo-fi slop this is not. Crispy keyboards, guitars, bass and drums and a rather bitchen lead vocal and oh my, a killer slightly distant gang vocal Greek chorus. I like it! I do.
