Blondelle: I WONDER

Today is the 66th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

Blondelle. A British quartet made up of Sam Stewart (lead guitar/ vocals), Mike Deegan (drums), Will Cameron Jr. (rhythm guitar/ lead vocals), and Rory O'Donnell (bass). The lads are peers of my comrade and I, ranging in age from 20 to 21.

The band formed, well, the date of this day was announced on their website in prior times, but as of now there is none to go by, but I do know that they formed at the tender age of adolescence, but did not launch what is now Blondelle and its album until last year, I believe.

Blondelle has no record label, and is now currently looking for a new manager.

The lads have been the opening act for bands such as: Editors, Hot Hot Heat, Noisettes, and The View. They have yet to tour the States, but have travelled around Europe and Japan in the last year. They are currently touring in Italy.

Their album, "Started When You Were Young" was released more than a year ago, and as of now they are recording new stuff. You can listen to their new music on theirmyspace page.

They are considered powerpop, and can be compared to Mando Diao, and a happier, perkier, younger Hot Hot Heat.

NOISETTES- "DON'T GIVE UP"

Are puns really a lower level of jokes? I've no clue, in any case, make some noise for the NOISETTES!

The Noisettes are a British Indie Rock band. There are three members: Shingai Shoniwa (singer and bassist), Dan Smith (guitarist), and Jamie Morrison (drummer). They formed in 2003, and have been active until now.

Their latest album is: What's the Time Mr. Wolf? Released in the States April 2007. Their first EP, Three Moods of the Noisettes, was released in April of 2005. As of now they are recording songs for an album which will be released early 2008.

The band is currently not touring, but will commence next year, sometime.

What sound are they? A mixture of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Janis Joplin. If that makes sense. You have the punk influence, and what could be classified as soul sounding vocals.
