Good Noise: Volume 1
Happy New Year and all that gubbins : )
It has occurred to me that one of the good things about my current job is getting to find out about some great unsigned & emerging music, and I feel I should really start sharing this with you.
I’m going to start posting a list of 5 bands every week with links for you to check out a hot track of theirs. I love most genres of music, so this list will reflect this, a big ol’ musical mixed bag.
And if you like the bands I’m recommending, then please do email me at mary@marysweeney.net - it would be nice to know that you’re liking the good noise I’m rating : )
1) If you like The B52’s on too much sugar, then you’ll like this heady mix of lovable bubblegum pop…

2) If you like simple Spoon-esque melodies with Pixies-style singing, then wrap your ears around this gorgeous little number…
