What the . . .

We went to sleep and just woke up to find out that its a new year!

Merry Christmas; Happy New Year!

Best albums of the year were: M.I.A., The Perishers, Sea Wolf (thanks Singer), Arcade Fire, Interpol, Editors, Bat For Lashes, Blonde Redhead, Low, The Thermals, and of course, Sigur Rós & Radiohead. It was a good year for music.

So whats on the horizon?

Outside of Portishead and Morrissey—We'll see.

The Perishers: Victorious

We've been trying to write a review for the latest Perishers' release for some time now. For some reason, we keep going in circles and we just can't get it right.

So, before another week passes by, here's the skinny:

The new Nettwerk Records' release is titled Victorious. The 13 track album logs in just under 44 minutes.

If you like the previous two Perishers' releases, you'll like this album.

If you only know The Perishers through their last release, you may be disappointed. Victorious is good, but not as good as Let There Be Morning.

If you've never heard The Perishers before, go out and buy the previously mentioned recordings plus their first release, From Nothing To One.

If we had to rate this album compared to the current Billboard 200, there is no question that this is a 5 star album. If we had to rate this album compared to their previous releases, it's a solid 3.5 stars.
