Babyshambles
Unlike Chialynn, I am not that much of an avid fan of local music. Though I have seen a few acts live before and they were quite impressive. Astreal are a three piece fronted by Ginette Chittick. They play post rock and shoegaze but genres are stupid so let's just categorise them under Alternative. This is a really odd description but I felt like I was in space while watching them perform. Songs available are only a minute long and it's via download.com
Astreal - Wallflower
Astreal - Blush Response
If you wish to listen to more of their stuff, visit their myspace page.
Now, for the absolutely genius stuff that you can expect from Nick, I present to you...
BABYSHAMBLES!
Babyshambles are an English rock band fronted by the notorious headliner Pete Doherty, formerly of The Libertines. It was actually Pete's side project at first due to his boot from The Libertines but they have since been viewed as a band in their own right. The second song available for download is actually a cover. The original band who performed it were The Clash. Babyshambles collaborated with quite a number of British indie bands on that song Janie Jones, featuring contributions from bands like The Maccabees, The Rakes, Dirty Pretty Things (just Carl Barat actually) and The Holloways, just to name a few. In 2006, the song was released to raise funds for Joe Strummer's (also of The Clash) charity foundation Strummerville.
Devour these catchy tunes.
The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now
Babyshambles - Janie Jones (Strummerville)
The Clash - London Calling
Bonus!
Babyshambles - Killamangiro
Babyshambles - I Wish
I would recommend every tune I have here for grabs, but don't download 'London Calling' unless you're looking for something different.
Okay, i'm off, enjoy the tunes and have a nice day! :)
