Five For Free #136

Killing Fields Of Ontario - Nothing To Be Frightened Of


The new EP from Feldspar is released on Monday (you can check out our review here) and they will be joined for a double launch show on the 4th Dec at The Bull & Gate with ace UK alt-rock group Killing Fields Of Ontario. In honour of this occasion both bands are giving away new tunes, and 'Nothing To Be Frightened Of' is set to be on The Killing Fields Of Ontario's next album in the new year.

The Everymen - Coney Island High


There's a certain amount of deception going on with the names here. Recent release 'New Jersey Hardcore' isn't particularly hardcore, but you'd definitely say it was punk/post punk. They're called The Everymen, unusual for a female fronted band. Anyway, free track 'Coney Island High' is a blitzkrieg of buzzing guitars and sax that will draw inevitable X-Ray Spex comparisons, and that's no bad thing.

Kodacrome - Modern Man


'Perla' is the debut EP by slightly enigmatic group Kodacrome who we think are American. Beginning with a soulful, isolated vocal, it almost feels like the song could go in any direction. They choose to head down a spangly electronica route and it proves to be the perfect option. The whole EP is a name-your-price download on Bandcamp, or you can grab 'Modern Man' below.

Life In Film - Needles & Pins


It was ages ago (probably at least two years) since we marked out Londoners Life In Film as potential ones to watch, but to be honest this is the first we've heard from them since then, so maybe we've been looking n the wrong places. 'Needles & Pins' is another excellent indie track that at a time when guitars were more in vogue would be picking up some serious airplay at the moment.

Paul Westerberg - My Road Now


The former Replacements man has released a steady stream of solo material since his old band disintegrated, but 'My Road Now' is his first track since 2009. Sounding as though it was recorded in one take (complete with aborted start and muttering at the end) this is one of those songs that gets better with each play. And who knows, maybe it's the first sign on a new Paul Westerberg album on the way.
