Listen: The Tough Alliance - "Hung Up On A Dream"
From the misty highlands of Sweden, the bat wielding, lip synching, genre bending whores that are The Tough Alliance smash us with a new joint for our friday freebie. This cover of The Zombies' hit "Hung Up On A Dream" is sweeter than a fistful of fairy floss delivered by a friendly liger.

#28: Canyons
On a lazy Friday afternoon, the newly signed Canyons boys, Ryan and Leo, entered the Modular boardroom to lay down some of their favourite disco jams alongside some "mic breaks", resulting in some fairly hilarious calls. Best listened on a sunny afternoon, shirts-off, with an ice-cold jug of Pimms.

Wolfmother Returns
Frontman Andrew Stockdale has emerged from his self-built home studio and is due to head to LA to record the second Wolfmother album with producer Alan Moulder in April. Wolfmother stepped out earlier in February to play two shows in Brisbane and Sydney to roadtest the new material prior to recording. Billed as White Feather, the shows at the Valley Studios in Andrew's hometown of Brisbane and The Oxford Arts Factory in Sydney sold out within minutes of word leaking online, and Wolfmother ripped through a set of old gold and new magic to those quick enough to be there.

"Also, take an intimate look into the making of our new record It's Blitz! One man armed with a camera documenting our day to day recording activities, from the mundane to the not so mundane. There's never been a more candid portrait of us "doing our thing" as the following series of teasers, for the visual journey into our sonic crusade, that we call SNAKESWEAT. Up first, tender moments with the inscrutable Nick Zinner". Karen O.
