Allo Darlin’: new album and live shows | Music News

London-based indie-poppers Allo Darlin’ are set to release their hugely anticipated second album “Europe” on 11 May by Fortuna POP! To celebrate this they’re taking themselves off to spend the next 6 weeks touring the US.
There will be a special bonus CD that comes with the new album when purchased via Rough Trade. The bonus CD includes covers of songs by Eux Autres, Darren Hayman, The Ramones, Bruce Springsteen and AC/DC.
Coming very much from a DIY approach, they inspire true dedication from their fans, many of whom will travel hundreds of miles to see them. In their brief lifetime they have toured the USA four times, sold out tours across the UK and embarked on an epic five-week European tour. The band have also been strongly supported by BBC 6music, recording several sessions including one at Maida Vale Studios.
Their self-titled debut was released to universal acclaim in 2010 with plaudits including being named No. 2 record of the year by online retailer eMusic, and a glowing 1,200 word essay by legendary Go-Between Mr. Robert Forster in the Australian critical magazine, The Monthly.
“Europe” is released on 11 May on Fortuna POP!

Domino: The Spot For Indie

Domino recording company, London is a good place to visit if you like your sounds indie and easy on the ears, but with a few little touches of brilliance thrown in.

Obviously, you have the big pop names like Franz or the Arctics, but the hidden gems are artists like Cass McCombs, The Kills or Bonnie Prince Billy and a host of others which you no doubt will discover once you click onto their website at  http://www.dominorecordco.com

It’s all very tried and tested music, and easy to listen to in the best possible sense.  If you dig pre-Space Oddity Bowie or Aphrodite’s Child, Bobby Vee/Vinton/Rydell  or even very early XTC, this site’s music will fire you up no end. There are some fabulous tunes to be had which will lead you to other bands and sites of a similar nature.

It’s all rock n roll and these are the best at what they do – full stop!
