Band You Should Know: Stapleton

Continuing within the fertile grounds of the UK scene, Glasgow, Scotland’s Stapleton is yet another amazing band. Stapleton are gearing up for the release of their long-awaited new album, Rest And Be Thankful, which is set to appear in early May. Rest And Be Thankful follows up the band’s tremendous 2005 album, Hug The Coasts. Much akin to my last Band You Should Know, This Town Needs Guns, Stapleton eschew the hectic pace of many of their peers for subtler melodic tones. I should have a review for Rest And Be Thankful in the coming months just as soon as I get my grubby hands on it.

Band You Should Know: This Town Needs Guns

Seriously, what is going on in the UK these days? So many great new bands it’s enough to make your head spin. Well add yet another to the list. I first mentioned This Town Needs Guns in my favorite EPs of 2007. The band’s split with the equally awesome Cats And Cats And Cats was tremendous. I downloaded (legally…thanks eMusic) the band’s two other singles earlier this year and am left even more impressed. This Town Needs Guns are perhaps a tad more laid back compared to the frantic energy of a lot of their UK peers. But, while the pace may be a bit slower at times, the result is just as powerful. The video below is for a song off their split called “26 Is Dancier Than 4.” And I posted a song from one of the singles as well. How is that for an amazing song title and a great pick up line?
