Soulsavers - "It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land

This should be called "The Soulsavers with Mark Lanegan", because the Soulsavers were already a group before this record. Aside from the lack of his name in the title, Mark kicks ass on this record. You'll find his voice on most of the songs that make up "It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land", which is one of the best records I've heard that's come out this year. The past few weeks, it has been my "Sunday Morning" record. Plus, their Stone's cover ("No Expectations") fuckin' kills! Hit their website for upcoming tour dates, news and anything else you could possibly want. http://www.thesoulsavers.com/

Graveyard

Graveyard reminds me of Soundgarden, Black Sabbath & and dudes with long hair who always wear jean jackets. You might wanna get into the Angry Jesus style. Check out their song "Thin Line" from their record that's coming out Febuary 8th on Tee Pee Records and then hit their myspace page for more songs @ http://www.myspace.com/graveyardsongs.

The Church - "Uninvited, Like The Clouds" / The Nova Saints - "The Draft"

I've been listening to a lot of these later era records from The Church for some reason. They're pretty cool for the most part. So far, this one from 2006 is my favorite. Check these couple of songs out and post what do you guys think... Are you backing this?

And what do you guys think of this song called "The Draft"? It's by The Nova Saints, from their "The Draft EP"  (as is another song called "Far Out" which Nick McCabe from The Verve remixed), which you can buy directly from the band themselves at their website (http://www.myspace.com/novasaints). Yes, that means they're unsigned. Someone with a label sign these dudes or something. Make a move.

Oasis - "Lord Don't Slow Me Down"

Oasis is the best rock n' roll band we currently have on planet earth and "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" is their new single that comes out digitally on October 21st. If you're good at math, that plus that means it's the best new rock single. You might remember it as the theme song from their movie of the same title, that is if you saw it when they screened it at Noel's solo shows last year. If you didn't it's coming out on DVD sometime really soon too.   Either way, it's the  "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" is the first new material Oasis has put out in three years and I can't wait to have the bloody thing. Check out the video below and click here if you wanna pre-order it.
