That New Band Smell - The Last Days of 1984

Across The Line

Greetings new music aficionado's. This week behind the magic door lies three very different musical paths for you to choose. You may explore and enjoy each new musical highway and experience the variety of our three choices this week on that new band smell.

**********************************************

The Genuine Articles - Little Miss Goody Two Shoes

Cheeky, playful indie guitar pop much in the vein of The Fratelli's and The Courteeners.

Sarah P - Movin On

Really encouraging signs from fledgling acoustic starlet's first single.

The Last Days of 1984 - Rivers Edge

The Last Days of 1984 are Dublin duo Darren Maloney and Brian Rice. Appeared as if by nowhere with a killer single 'Rivers Edge' and performed live for the first time on the 9th of July, Last Days of 1984 are a twister of excitement. Their synth pop sound is 'so hot right now', it flirts between the playful 'spring-break' sound of Animal Collective and the 80's revivalism of The Horrors material. It's easy to see a swell of interest swallow these guys up, all the finger on the pulse blogs love this sound. It will be interesting to see these guys progression over the next year. Check out their first single River's Edge that we have streaming for you below.
