Just been struck by a lightning bolt !

Jake Bugg.(suppose to be only 17)
so genuine..

Cool, a Hideout Discovery Thread... m'kay, I'll bite... 

The Green Circles...

A little bit o' power pop from Adelaide... I like the reference in the band name...

[John Battles]

I like the reference too.....Someone was saying how underappreciated The Small Faces are , today. I'D SAY IT'S DEAD ON GARAGE , the tremolo/fuzz sound is ace. It's melodic , some harmonies , no singing thru the nose , so , maybe it's part Power Pop , part Garage.

[John Battles]

Bugg is doing , or just did , a very low key US tour , as his record is'nt out here , yet , and being that he's underage (He might be 18. Makes no difference.), they can't advertise his club dates . I know he was supposed to play here , don't know if that happened....He's expected to be very big by this time , next year.....I'll level , I'm not crazy about it , but , it's good for what it is.

Discovered today!

Jake Bugg's out on tour with Noel Gallacher (Oasis) just now, and getting a hell'ova time. Loved one minute, slated the next. The problem here is indeed age and the music he's doing. Like there's an age limit on writing folk and blues??? The critics over here need to 'get a fucking grip!' He still has the difficult 2nd album to go through. The critically acclamed 3rd. The being seen out with Scarlett Johannsen rumours, the first solo tour, the last tour, the 'well we thought the last tour was my last tour' gigs all to go with yet. Give the guy some space to develop for fuck sake! If age has any bearing then i have 2 words to say.... 'Arctic Monkeys' Still throwin out classic Rock'n'Roll and started at the tender age of 16

Dito to that. I also like how straight forward it is. MEL: Nice find!

Yep, I was surprised that his voice has quite the rusty tone to it, let's see and hope he can keep that and not be "cleaned" too much in later recordings. I'm not too crazy on the folk side but I like this ok.

First listen gives me the obvious Zimmerman feel, maybe it makes me recall Joe South a bit? It's fine for a guy that goes on tour with a oasis brother (no hate there, hyuk), I'd take this kid over their stuff any day. But that's just my snob ass.

I like the repetitive lyrics thing: "They wanna take meeeee..." eery.

I found out about SWEARIN' from Brooklyn today (told to come from a band of Twin sisters I hadn't heard of). Their album swings from twangy melodic songs to the noisier side of the new Brooklyn sound. Which I can't always get into, but here it just clicks for me. I like their rather recent album, see here ---> http://swearin.bandcamp.com/

My faves are when they burst into classic style fast and tough punk instrumentals like this:

...OKey it's not a straight instro, so ...natch.

Yeah, I missed half a convo on ThreeD Radio Adelaide (dunchya hate that) about this band and some of the shows people had been to. Not much info recently except they're recording... And I missed them at the Grace Emily while I was in Yankland. That would be right.

Here's the poop from FU-Book: "Four men, a guitar, a bass, some drums, some organ and some vocals, Green Circles have released three albums in Australia- Get on the outside of this released by Sexy Diablo in 2001, followed by Brass knobs, bevelled edges (and in 23 different positions) in 2003 and Tavistock Street (2008) - both released by the wonderful Off the Hip Records. Early 2006 saw the release of the album Black Vinyl Heart a UK compilation of 17 songs from the first two Australian albums, plus an extra track, released by Biff Bang Pow"

Still groovin' on the band name, I mean, us garageheads have gotta dig that...

Must be incredibly hard to be from Adelaide and play garage... Just glad there's a few bands here that live in the garage, at least some of the time.

Catchy tune that... dun dun dundun.... da dun dun dundun. 8-)

And when their song says Brown House in Stepney, they don't mean London.
