UHH

It's finally getting the chance to stand on it's own two perfectly formed feet. 'Explode' has been a stand out track from UH HUH HER right from the start. One of the initial five tracks from the debut EP 'I See Red'(2007) that was later (and most wisely) included on the album 'Common Reaction' released in August of this year, has now become the second video from Camila Grey and Leisha Hailey.

The animated video is being premiered in the States through mtvU. For everyone else, we're just going to have to wait till some kindly soul uploads it to youtube...

*update* I knew it'd only be a matter of time....

DAY OF EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCE... (mark II)

There are two things you have to do today...

1. Buy UH HUH HER's debut album 'Common Reaction', released today through Nettwerk.

2. Log on to TV on the Radio's myspace ->here<- and listen to Golden Age off of their new album Dear Science, coming out on september 23rd.
(update: complete song now streaming on their website.)

after these two tasks are completed the day is yours, do with it what you will.

tally ho muchachas!

UH HUH

Ahead of their 'Common Reaction' release date, UH HUH HER premiered their new music video for 'Not a Love Song' on MTV in America. You get the feeling they're going be huge and should be. Explode is one of those songs that come along every so often that makes your heart stop the first time you hear it, and then race to catch up with itself before you go listen to it again just to make sure it wasn't a palpitation. Huge i say. Huge.

Also be sure to check out the webisodes, all still streaming on their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/uhhuhhermusic) or here.

ps. here's the video...

24th July

i'm a bit late, but yesterday was a day of exceptional circumstance... three releases on the one day that spun my world a little faster.



First off, there's the debut EP from UH HUH HER, 'I See Red'. UHH is the new band from Leisha Hailey, formerly of the Murmurs and Gush, and Camila Grey of the band Mellowdrone. The EP is pretty cool, I have different favorites on any given day, but i'd recommend 'say so' and 'explode' (my current favorite). I think Uh Huh Her is a band to follow, they'll no doubt already have a loyal fan base through Hailey's role on The L Word, but I think the music speaks for itself, Uh Huh Her are a band to throw yourself into, so go to it. Check out their myspace were 'I See Red' is currently streaming, or buy the EP on iTunes and get an exclusive track.

Secondly is Tegan and Sara's new album 'The Con'. It took me a while to get into Tegan and Sara, I initially only liked a grand total of two of their songs around the time so jealous was released, a year later a friend gave me copies of 'If It Was You' and 'So Jealous', and now i'm not sure what i was thinking of at the start. But I digress... 'The Con' is rocking, and I could end up recommending half the record... but I wont, check out the title track 'the con', 'nineteen' and 'back in your head' here . 'Back in Your Head' also seems to be the song they've gone with as the first single, check that out below.





and finally.... the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released their EP 'ISIS'. If anybody bought the 'Tell Me What Rockers to Swallow' DVD, the EP has a couple of songs from that which didn't make 'Show Your Bones' which is craziness because 'Down Boy' easily tops anything that went onto the album. Worth picking up just for that. Also have a look at the video, filmed live and in night vision by Lance Bangs.
