You are just a kid
With a sentimental heart
Fade away what happened
Before you were a starYou don't need the package
You don't need the stuff
You don't need nobody
To feel your empty cough
With their first new song in at least a couple of years, The Kooks give us a throw-back, happy, boppy, British invasion-eque track, perfectly suited to it's place on a best-of compilation album.

Speak up now, I know you said it before
Why don't you say it again but louder
I hate it that it takes a load from my back
That you never even needed at all
Can we meet at the bottom?
Can we call that home?
Can we both admit that we're just not fit
To be alone?
We come here alone
Formerly calling themselves Bird Dog (two earlier EPs that have been re-released under the new name), Wilderado (Google does NOT like that spelling) are currently on tour with Judah & The Lion (whom I find ridiculously overrated), grinding it out on the road and releasing several singles over the past year, all of which I adore. Not sure what else to say about these four dudes based out of L.A. but I'm so happy that Spotify helped me discover them! Oh, and their videos are totally lo-fi throw backs, kinda fun.
RIYL: Run River North, Pinegrove, Ha Ha Tonka, My Morning Jacket
Now you're right
You're right
You'll get your very own cell
Come live with me
You'll get your very own cell
I'll get mine as well
Woke up the other day to a major thunder storm, so I put on some mood music: We Were Promised Jet Packs. Love those guys, especially love seeing them live - so impressive. Thought (again) about posting one of their tracks here on TMIS but I've been waiting (like everyone) for some new music to be released. I decided to double check their Facebook page for info. (They're in the studio!) And then I found a post recommending this fellow Glasgowian band! (WWPJP guitarist had them play at his wedding.) Pronto Mama have a bit of buzz now in the UK, with their debut LP Any Joy coming out next month.
RIYL: WWPJP, Twilight Sad, Blaenavon, JAWS, Frightened Rabbit
