Crocodile by Hatcham Social

Who: Hatcham Social from London.

What: An introduction to the the well-scrubbed Londoneering indiepoptastic quartet called Hatcham Social,
comprised of Toby Kidd (vocals / guitar), Finn Kidd (drums), Dave Fineberg (bass / vocals) and Jerome Watson (synth / guitar). Theyve recently signed to Radioheads label (TBD records) with their debut album You Dig the Tunnel, Ill Hide the Soil, which was recorded at mushroom studios in the north of England with the Charlatans singer Tim Burgess. Having already toured the UK with the Charlatans and Ipso Facto, the band are gearing up to do dates in the US with Echo & the Bunnymen. Check out the poppy song below, designed to take you back to a time of musical innocence.

Song: Crocodile. The video is on IMF.tv.

White Rabbits and their Percussion Gun

From P4k. Here’s the track.

After White Rabbits spent the majority of 2 years on the road touring with Spoon, The Walkmen, The Cribs, White Denim and Tokyo Police Club, they headed back to their Brooklyn practice space to envision their second full-length album (It’s Frightening). TBD Records (Radiohead‘s US home) liked what they heard of the demos, signed them and had the band spend 4 weeks in the studio with Spoon‘s Britt Daniel producing the songs. The result is quite a good sophomore record capturing the unhinged nature of the band. I keep throwing Percussion Gun back on and on again, now I’ve got visuals to keep me entertained. Really reminds me of something between Cold War Kids, with some parts Dodos. Tons of US dates through this spring and summer, check their myspace.
