Copy Haho

Something very odd is happening at the BBC. It seems that good bands are actually getting airplay on their stations, up to and including Radio 1. As someone whose relationship with Radio 1 (and radio for that matter) ended around the turn of the century, this takes me somewhat by surprise. It seems a shame that it’s only starting to happen now that nobody listens to the radio. Such is life though.

, those lovely people from Stonehaven, recorded a session for Radio 1 back in May. Now, out of the goodness of their hearts, they’ve made one whole song available from it. The Last Dash, the original version of which appears on their Bred For Skills & Magic EP is a rip-roaring little jaunt that cements the band as the closest thing we’ve got to Pavement at the moment. It’s loose, fast and playful, and gets me really excited about the prospect of an album.

The Bred For Skills & Magic EP was released at the start of the year on Big Scary Monsters.
