World’s Strongest Man is a ride down the road less travelled for former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes. If you were expecting endless variations on a Supergrass theme, then you’ll be slightly confused and annoyed by his third solo record. The tunes are still very much intact and will eat into your brain and live there for days, but the approach is a little, shall we say, esoteric. More

Last week we skipped Songs of the Week. Most of the music industry was in Austin for SXSW and thus few notable songs were shared last week, leaving us with not enough contenders to even put together a Top 5 we were truly excited about. So this week’s Songs of the Week mainly covers this week, but has a few songs from last week, including the song that would’ve been our #1 last week if we’d done a list. Hence we have a Top 12 this week. More

We haven’t posted a Songs of the Week post in quite awhile, as there weren’t that many new songs of note over the holidays or at the start of the year, but this week there was an tidal wave of new tracks worth considering for this list. It was definitely a challenge to narrow it down to only 10 (Franz Ferdinand and Marlon Williams almost made the Top 10). More
