New album : The Do - A mouthful

If you want to discover a new and fresh band , just listen to TheDo...
This band, from Helsinki and Paris (weird have you said?) is in fact a duet including Olivia B.Merilahti and Dan Levy , both writing and playing.
Their first album "A mouthful" is far from perfection (sometimes they seem a little bit lost beetween very different styles) but some tracks are really amazing , combining an apparent simplicity with a real inventiveness.
Watch our video of the week : The Do live at "ce soir ou jamais" playing The bridge is broken.

Try them : (the sample)

Stay just a little bit more

At last

What's up Doc?

What's new in wonderland?

Albert Hammond Jr, well known to be the 'fro-haired guitarplayer of The Strokes, is currently mixing his second solo album.

Not so long after his first escape "Yours to keep" , released in 2006, its successor should be out during 2008' spring.

The new LP will explore new moods from the softest to the hardest ...

Let's bet will find back the "rock spirit " which was more present during the live performances than on the record.

Concerning possible guests , the name of Sean Lennon has been mentionned.

More to come...

The Yeah yeah yeahs are about to start the recording of their next album.

According to their official website , they have nearly finished the writing phase and will soon reach the studio doors...
