Meanwhile, here's some details on how you could get your unsigned band a very special support slot...
Young Knives are giving best local bands the chance to play with them on their forthcoming ‘Off the Beaten Track’ UK tour this March. This is a tour which sees the Knives go out of their way to play the provinces and market towns of the UK, to those who don't usually get bigger bands visiting their towns. Since Young Knives came from a small town themselves – Ashby de la Zouch - and became known for their lethal combination of compelling melodies and thinking mans lyrics about the trials of daily provincial life, it only fits that they are going back to their roots, bringing a big band to small towns.
With the unique competition, acts local to the tour hotspots can enter their own demos/songs by sending them to offthebeatentrack@gmail.com. More details of the competition can be found at www.myspace.com/theyoungknives from Tues 26th January. The band will listen through the entries and decide who plays alongside them. The overall winner will be invited back to play the band’s next London headline show.
The new Off the Beaten Track tour sees Young Knives gracing stages they have never played before. Henry, House of Lords and Oliver, the pioneers of new-wave countryside charm will head into the hills of Belfast, Crewe and Bath to name a few, playing favourites from their eccentrically British back catalogue, plus brand new songs from their eagerly awaited second album ‘Superabundance’.
Best new band in Glasgow, by a mile!

...Second track sounds like a more snarly mid-60s Who. Excellent.
...First one sounds like Sean Ryder having a flashback but second track is a killer.

I love this tune. Like Jason Lowenstein fronting The Thermals covering Sweet Jane, with Steve Albini at the controls. In their blurb, they state "we play with passion, and that's...
