All-female bluegrass group Midnight Skyracer have signed a new deal with Island Records and a new song “Break The Rules” which you can check out here.
Bombay Bicycle Club release their third album A Different Kind Of Fix at the end of this month and have unleashed “Shuffle” as their lead single. At first, the song tiptoes past without causing a stir, despite the best intentions of a pleasantly melodic piano riff.

U.S. indie rock band The Airborne Toxic Event is back with their brand new sophomore record All At Once. The group had a big radio hit with the song “Sometime Around Midnight” which helped them establish themselves as one of the top up and coming indie rock groups. In support of their debut record, the band played a mind-boggling 350 concerts until the end of 2009. The fact that they even had any energy to punch out a follow-up this soon after is an accomplishment in itself.
