I have noticed that (at least with me) each year certain albums tend to dominate my summer playlists. Although it is a little too early to tell what these are going to be yet, it's worth a look back at what was the sound of last summer...
Scream Gun EP - BRMC
I got a copy of this hard to come by EP off a friend and it I instantly became addicted. Consisting of 5 songs that didn't make it on to their debut album, including Fail-Safe (possibly one of their best work to date).
Better Than A Killer - Black Market Radio
Suggested to my by indieawesome friend Kev. Peter Cornell (brother of Chris) along with 3 friends. Possibly one of the best grunge albums I've ever heard. I must have listened to this hundreds of times, and didn't get sick of it. I'm still not sure if BMR are still around (if you know please tell me), but I sure hope so because I'd love to go see them.
Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell
Lovely happy indie pop. It's hard not to like music like this, and although every song it only about 2 minutes long (I don't think they'd work if they were longer), and the album is quite short, it does make for good summertime listening.
The lovely summery photograph is by Stathis Stavrianos, who titled the photo "Summer Wasting..." after the Belle & Sebastian song... Looks like someone know's his indie

I'm pretty sure 90% of those bands are makey uppey.... bet they don't even wear leather and scream about death PFT!!
I'll admit it, they are all made up... Not like Deathmøle. They're completely real, and they do scream about death. Not sure about the leather though.
Almost as good as Mystik spiral
"Betrayal, yeah.... stab in the back...."
