M(a)P3s

Last week you gave a big thumbs up to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' legion of Karen O clones, OK Go's treadmill trickery and Little Man Tate's brush with the law, but gave Tobias Froberg's 'When the Night Turns Cold' the cold shoulder. Who will be rated & slated this month?

The Rogers Sisters - Why Won't You

More indescribably cool hipshaking rock & roll from The Rogers Sisters. 'Why Won't You' is full of boy/girl vocals and colossal hooks and makes a perfect appetiser for the band's fantastic third album 'The Invisible Deck'.

Be Your Own Pet - Bicycle Bicycle You Are My Bicycle

Unreasonably youthful garage punk tykes Be Your Own Pet tear it up b-movie style in this short sharp blast of two-wheeled joy.

Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill

Radiohead frontman in morose electronica shocker! I thought the whole point of side projects was to explore territory that your day job doesn't allow you to... Still, it's involving enough to merit your time, and may well give a few pointers as to where the next Radiohead release proper could be heading.

The Raconteurs - Hands

Messrs White, Benson & co. let loose in a girls school for the deaf - magic and mischief inevitably break out, but to be honest the video's a lot more fun than the fairly average track that hides behind it.

Mystery Jets - Diamonds in the Dark

Eel Pie Island's favourite suns manage to scrape yet another single from their well received debut album. Unfortunately this seems to be a single too far, and lacks the charm of earlier releases like 'Alas Agnes' and 'The Boy Who Ran Away'.

The Sunshine Underground - Put You in Your Place

There are approximately 5,762 bands currently mixing indie guitars with disco beats and yelped vocals at the moment, and while Sunshine Underground make a better stab at it than most, I think we're ready for something fresh now. This is far better than both Kasabian and The Dead 60s though, which at least is something.
