1. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
As different as any PJ Harvey release is going to be, you really never know what you are going to get. This is a strong set of songs with a war theme throughout, don't let that put you off, there are some great tunes on this album.
2. The Greenhornes - "****"
60's pop with crunchy guitar from the bass guy from the Dead Weather and the Raconteurs. Great stuff.
3. Arbouretum - The Gathering
Fuzz ridden Americana, touches of Rust Never Sleeps side 1. Going to have to try and catch these guys in Manchester in a couple of weeks.
4. The Twilight Singers - Dynamite Steps
Greg Dulli by numbers. That ain't a bad thing as I love his stuff, though nothing new here, just more dark pop from the ex Afghan Whigs main man.
5. The Whigs - In The Dark
I saw these guys supporting Dead Confederate on Sunday and was really impressed with them live. The album is a bit of a let down and doesn't come close to capturing their awesome live sounds. Still some good tracks and hopefully a sign of better things to come.

I can agree with The Whigs there. Been enjoying several of their tracks for a while - especially In The Dark.
It's not all Yes and ELP on the Speesh Playlist ;-)
