Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast

Hey folks, sorry for the delay again, after river-boating has come the reality of changing jobs and moving house. It all of a sudden hit me that its going to be another quiet week on the blogging front as we sort out a new internet provider. On that note I have come across a few indie gems whilst I have been rocking out during packing (the only way to pack in my view). Long-view (formally Longview...) hail from several area's of the UK, I originally heard of them when I found out that a Manchester favorite of mine called Gecko-Levy were splitting (though Gecko-Levy carried on) forming a new band. Then a few months down the line I went to see Long-view as, strangely, Fell City Girl were supporting, and then the week after I saw them supporting the Cure! Anyways, Long-views debut alum, Mercury, was totally tip-top although not loved by the critics or the public for that matter. The band at the moment are working on a follow up album which is penned for Autumn release.

Long-view - I Would
Long-view - Falling For You
Long-view - This is
The second band, Longpigs (I'm stuck on bands starting long!) from Sheffield, have had two albums out, the first The Sun is Often Out is scarily one of my mothers favorite of all time. It is also a very fantastic brit-pop album which tried to bring a bit more rock to the scene. While Blur and Oasis were slogging it out in the tabloids these guys were writing some awesome tunes. Their second album wasn't quite as amazing as they aimed to break America with it, and the band seem to have disbanded, although their singer Crispin Hunt (who's called Crispin) is to release a solo album.
Longpigs - All Hype
Longpigs - On And On
Longpigs - Over Our Bodies
