In late July 2008 The Steal wrote and recorded their second album "Bright Grey". Tracked in 2 days in the rainy Devon countryside this album represents exactly what The Steal were about. The release hit shops just under 2 months after it was recorded. Vinyl info: 300 copies on one-sided transparent grey with black smoke LP. Banquet Records CD | LP

Metronomy Nights Out The second full length from Metronomy finally arrives! We love Metronomy and have had them play at our club New Slang a couple of times before. The singles that we've heard so far from this record have been amazing and we can't wait to hear the rest of the album! It's hard to pigeon hole Metronomy because they don't really sound like any other band I can think of right now, but all you need to know is that their indie-tinged electro is some of the best stuff we've heard over the last couple of years. Metronomy playing our club night New Slang! Because Music CD

Algernon Cadwallader Some Kind Of Cadwallader Vinyl reissue of the debut album from the Philadelphian mathy-punks Algernon Cadwallader. Original write up: If you're wondering, it's pronounced "Al-jur-non Kad-wall-uh-der". I don't know what it means either. Cap'n Jazz/American Football-esque twiddly indie rock all the way from Philadelphia. This will totally blow the minds of fans of Hot Club De Paris, Dartz!, Stapleton, and anything vaguely Kinsella-related. Dave House toured America recently and played a show with the band in their hometown, and made us really jealous. This album is absolutely amazing. Lauren Records CD | LP

The End And Everything After 6. Hennings Favourite 7. Salt, Pepper And Spinderella 8. Yes! You Talk Too Fast 9. DJs Get Doubts 10. Sometimes, In The Bullring 11. Yr All Just Jealous 12. Absolute Balance 13. The Hidden Song At The End Of The Record Johnny Foreigner at New Slang. Photo by Ed Schofield www.myspace.com/johnnyforeigner Best Before Records CD
