The Zutons - You Can Do Anything

And to round off this installment of new music, we have The Zuton's dropping their sophomore album, "You Can Do Anything". Now, some of you may not have caught the Zuton's first album, "Who Killed... The Zutons" but I would likely bet you've heard their highly contagious single "Pressure Point" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=BmwG8WWmR8A), it was featured on MLB 07 for sure and its way around radio and internet. Anyhow, this fun, British band certainly has a certain sound, you either love or hate the singers thick accent, so give it a try and you may just have found a new favorite band.

The Fratellis - Here We Stand

The Fratelli's brothers (yes, the 3 of them make up the band) 2006 album, "Costello Music" was one of the best, most energized, catchy albums I've heard in some time. So needless to say I've been eagerly awaiting a follow-up album. Well it has come in the form of "Here We Stand" and well, it just seems to be missing the pizazz the first album had! Stripped of horns and the hyped up, big, bouncy, fun sound that made me love "Costello Music" so much. However, it still deserves a few more listens until I fully pass judgment.

Sam Roberts - Love at the End of the World

Sam Robert's returns with his follow-up to 2006's "Chemical City" with "Love at the End of the World". Although I still think that Sam's EP "The Inhuman Condition" is by far his best record, this new album definitely has promise and some really catchy tunes, including "Lions of the Kalahari" and a rebuttal (?) ha, to "Brother Down", entitled "Sister Up". Anyhow, for all of you Sam fans, or rock n' roll fans, the album is worth a shot.
