Many of us are (hopefully) hearing new stuff each week so the purpose of this thread to let people know what new shit you have heard this week. A short write up and maybe a vid and this way we don't have to have lots of threads laying dormant, forgotten and unloved about our new sounds

This weeK:

Jawbox

Are a 90's Post Hardcore band with a simple but very well produced sound and the ubiqutious female bass player. They were accused of going mainstream with their major label '94 release For Your Own Special Sweetheart but their sound remained the same.

Bitch Magnet

Yup another Post Hardcore band though very short lived. Their first EP was produced by Steve Albini but they decided on a different sound with their 2 other albums.

Number Girl

Japanese noise rock outfit but who used melody a la Sonic youth, Pixies etc to get their kicks. I am sure there is one member of the mod team who will like these!
