The Maccabees Feat. Root Manuva-Empty Vessels Video

A collaboration I was surprised to hear about was the coming together of indie rockers The Maccabees and Roots Manuva, while despite being slightly sceptical at first I am glad to say this works a treat.

This track is featured on the bands current album Wall Of Arms under the title No Kind Words, but with the new lyrics input from Roots the song itself was re-named Empty Vessels.
It was released as a single back in November but the video to the track has just surfaced.

"If you've got no kind words to say, you should say nothing more at all". Well I am going to be kind and say this is a fine re-working of an already great song.

Yuksek-Extraball (featuring Amanda Blank): Video

Yet another catchy electro single from Parisian new wave, electro DJ and producer Yuksek, but this time he features the MC talents of Philadelphia rapper Amanda Blank who has previously worked with Spank Rock and Aaron LaCrate and is currently on tour with Santigold. Similar in style to something The Filthy Dukes might produce but I am liking it the more I listen and looking forward to his set at The Twisted Pepper on May 8th.

The Maccabees-Love You Better: Video

Love You Better is the brand new single from Brighton based indie band The Maccabees. It gets its release on April 24th and is taken from their second studio album Wall Of Arms which is out on May 1st. I am a little bit in love with Orlando Weeks' voice and this song has reminds me of Wolf Parade.
I hope the album is as good.
