Sound Faction Single of the Week! - 8/23
Dick originally listened to this while on a cleaning binge, and I kinda dug it. A couple weeks later, it came up in my Itunes on random, and I enjoyed it more than I did originally. Still feeling out the band, but I'm liking this song a lot. So, I give you the XX, and their song "Heart Skipped a Beat."

Congratulations to Red City Radio, the newest band to join the Paper + Plastick Records family! The band entered the studeio last week to record their P+P debut with labelmate Stephen Egerton in Tulsa, OK. The album will be titled "The Dangers of Standing still", and will be dodging those dangers by kicking off a tour with The Riot Before in October and again with Outbreak in November. Tourdates will be announced soon! Guitarist/vocalist Paul Pendley said about the album, "On the new album, we don't think there will be a huge sonic departure from our EP, though it will sound a little more polished. For the most part, the songs follow a similar template as our EP - big choruses, big hooks, but with some new surprises."

Both the Reading and Leeds festivals are wrapping up tonight, leaving a wake of stories and anecdotes with concert-goers along the way. We've had a few days of bands praising and complaining about both festivals, but none louder than Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba who aggrivatedly wrote "Apparently the promoter has had a personal grudge with GN'R stemming from eight years ago, if this was the case why book the band? He knows our show. Let me guess... To take our fans money and then not allow us to give them a show that they payed for. This was clearly not a curfew thing because after cutting our power like a selfish money grabbing prick, he allowed music blasting through out the venue till the early morning."This comment was made after Guns'N Roses was late to the stage for their set at Reading and concequentially was unable to make it through their entire set-list. Organizer Melvin Benn posted to his twitter, responding to the negative comments about him saying: "I haven't got a grudge against the band. Why would I have a grudge against the band? They're one of the greatest bands in the world and they're playing one of the greatest festivals in the world."
Dispite the outburst, Benn has said that he has no reason to suspect that Guns N' Roses won't be playing their set at Leeds later today (August 29), which will end promptly at 11pm BST.
