The Strokes - Is This It?
Now I said that a lot of albums and bands wouldn't have happened if it weren't for The Libertines, but The Libertines probably wouldn't have got the exposure if it wasn't for this albums release in 2001. The Strokes made fast paced guitar music sexy again with songs such as Last Nite, Hard to Explain and New York City Cops being some of the best.
2016 Album
Spring King - Tell Me If You Like To
Spring King have been a band that I have been listening to over the last few years and now they have released their debut album and it is good, not great but good. Spring King sound a bit like 80s punk, for me they have a definite Ramones influence. I think though a lot of their songs sound a bit samey so maybe in a playlist is better than the whole album in one go. The best tunes on this though are The City, Rectifier and The Summer.
Ant's Random Recommendation
Palma Violets - 180
This was my favourite album of 2013 by a band who have the potential to be one of my favourite ever bands. There is no doubting that they are better live than they are on the CD but that doesn't mean that the CD is bad. I listened to this non stop when it first came out and know every track like the back of my hand. Some of my favourites include Best of Friends, Tom the Drum and We Found Love.
