DROMe

No matter how you cut it, when it comes to clothes, the Italians do it like nobody else can. We just found an Italian leather company called DROMe that has us drooling.

DROMe is born… a dream, a journey. Inspired by the cloudy mists and grey tones of winter, this is a collection where exquisite materials and skilled craftsmanship combine to create a sophistication born of nature’s wildest season. Understated detail and informal tailoring feel sporty and work well combined with elements inspired by biker-rock street fashion. Masculine to the core, sophisticated, yet easy to wear.

We Were Promised Jetpacks

We Were Promised JetpacksAnother band we just got into — they’re on the same label as Frightened Rabbit and have been compared to Frightened Rabbit as well as The Twilight Sad, another band we love — is We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Before even releasing a single, WWPJ have laid claim to some recent successes which bode well for the future of the band. A well recorded three-track demo was circulated and managed to pick up a KEXP track of the day over the pond, and plays on national stations in the UK were popping up on XFM, BBC and Q radio.

A tour through September 2008 as main support for Frightened Rabbit garnered some great reviews for WWPJ. This being their first jaunt into England, healthy crowds arrived early on each evening due to the huge buzz in Scotland now filtering down south of the border.

Frightened Rabbit

Frightened RabbitA friend tipped us off to a hot band called Frightened Rabbit that’s getting a lot of buzz right now.

Now a five-piece comprising Scott, Billy, Andy, Gordon and Grant, the origins of the band are rooted in 2003, when Scott began playing solo shows under the name Frightened Rabbit, mostly in support of fellow art-schoolers Shitdisco. Recordings were made on a tascam 4-track recorder, with Scott playing all the instruments (some more proficiently than others). Though looser, sparser, and certainly more lo-fi in terms of production values, their early demos still attest to a burgeoning talent with a defined personality, and a now familiar penchant for being able to nail a near perfect pop song.
