Stream & Download The U & U Show 148 Right Here, Right Now! (MediaFire)
Frightened Rabbit – Swim Until You Can't See the Land – untitled-as-of-yet (2010)
- This band had a lot of hype from the start, and that combined with a ‘far from album best’ first single pushed me away at first, but the deeper I dug into this album the more I was blown away
- This is the best track on the album and its unedited form isn’t the most radio friendly song.
- Scottish accent stands out, but there seems to be something more than that to his vocals and make them truly unique.

Jamie T – British Intelligence – King’s & Queens (2009)
- 2nd album
- British singer/songwriter
- At times he leans into rap, but I think he’s at his best when he goes for a catchy rock/punk sound.

Lucero –Sound of the City - 1372 Overton Park (2009)
- New Lucero!
- Ben Nichol's led band's first album on a major label
- The level of polish has jumped significantly and it doesn't seem to fit with them
- They have always seemed like the quintessential bar band, they hoarser and rougher their sound the better.
- With that said, the polish can't disrupt the band's ability to write quality music.
