Barely Worth A Mention

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - If you pre-ordered Epic Last Song and you're wondering where the hell your signed poster is: the single was posted out by the label, and the posters are being sent out by the band (because they had to sign them), so they'll come separately.

Johnny Foreigner - New song on Myspace.com/johnnyforeigner called Lea Room. It's your typical loud Johnny Foreigner song - very nice.

Those Dancing Days Video

Here's the videos for Those Dancing Days' new single, 'Run Run' (I think). It's a new song.

Ting Tings Napster Session

If you're a member of Napster you can stream and download an exclusive acoustic session with The Ting Tings from today (2nd June).
Tracklisting:
1. Great DJ
2. Be The One
3. Fruit Machine
4. That's Not My Name
5. Just Be Good To Me (Beat International cover)

Hadouken! Video & Bolton Date

Here's Hadouken!'s video for 'Crank It Up'. It continues the made-of-paper theme of 'That Boy That Girl'.




The band have also announced a new set of dates for July, despite still being on tour. They're supposed to see the band performing shows in the towns they have been unable to visit till now, so they're playing Bolton Kico Club on Friday 25th July.
