The Slow Readers Club

I have taken this from their website. *We are a Manchester based Indie / Electro band who's output ranges from insanely catchy upbeat indie to angry, introspective downbeat ballads. Our music has drawn comparisons with Interpol, The Killers and Arcade Fire. Our critically acclaimed Debut album relased in May 2012 has had airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, NME, Q Radio and NME TV, Sky Sports and ITV. Our youtube channel has seen 155,707 views to date helped in no small part by the video for 'Block out the Sun' featuring on Coldplay's website.

The Slow Readers Club - Block out the Sun



For some bizarre reason, these guys started following me on twitter and I haven't had chance to listen to them since now. Í tweeted back and told them Í would introduce them, to some other *Indie fans* from around the world. I asked for their favourite song, and they said *Try them with this* I hope you guys like it on their recommendation. I will post one I really like after this one. (although it does sound like something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it) Enjoy xxx

A little bit more up tempo this, a real grower. (ahhhooooooooooooooo)

Metric - Youth Without Youth

One of the songs that did stand out for me in 2012 was Metric's Youth Without Youth. I've always liked Metric so it was a no brainer and it's one of the few new songs I bought in 2012.

The Sheepdogs - The Way It Is

To come up with something else took a little bit more thinking, but I think I can safely pick The Way It Is by The Sheepdogs. It's not ground breaking, just some solid old timey rock and roll. Also, they managed to get through an entire baseball themed video with no one wearing an ironic Expos hat.
