Back in 1995 the rivalry between Blur and Oasis had descended into the gutter and their less savory insults were fodder for tabloid headlines. Damon Alban and Noel Gallagher were two of the most talented songwriters of the era and the passage of time has resulted in a friendship and now a musical collaboration that makes you proud for the good nature of the humanz spirit.
However, Liam Gallagher still needs the publicity in 2017 so he has branded Damon a "Gobshite" and called his brother a "Massive Girl". Hopefully more examples of Liam's legendary wit will grace the output of his solo career if he can still write any decent songs with his grazed knuckles...
1) Feels Like Summer by Weezer - These guys don't rest for long. Weezer are becoming as prolific as King Gizz & The Liz Wiz and are in danger of running out of colours to name their albums.
2) Cave by Future Islands - American band who penned "Seasons (Waiting For You)" have returned with their fifth album of synth-pop.
3) Paint Me Silver by Pond - Perth band drop a new dreamy tripped out pop song.
4) Are You Looking For Action? by Kasabian - three tracks released so far ahead of their new album. I'm a sucker for euphoric eight minute indie/dance hits that go all Flowered Up at the end.

6) Dream In/Out by Green Buzzard - Indie Rockers from New South Wales who have just released a ripper new album "Space Man Rodeo".
