Out with the Dragonforce, in with the Chairlift....

Hey internet peeps,

While we were going to cover more topics on Dragonforce (white power connection anyone?), a band has come out of seemingly nowhere in our sheltered Dragonforce world. And that band is................Chairlift!



We're hardly the first of you to hear them since they do have 500K + plays on myspace. Also they were covered in NME radar (the greatest section if any mag ever) last week and were equally praised by DiS who did a whole feature on them.


Their debut album is being set up to be a top tenner of the year too. Not only that, but they embrace the consumer within too. Their song 'Bruises' is the choonage for the 4th gen iPod adverts. Apple has entrusted them with selling iPods and have marked them as important enough to be in charge of ending the recession and making everyone shop again :)


BAnds that are entrusted to end global recessions are usually pretty important in my book. PLus 'Bruises' is defo of the quality of past iPod songs like 1-2-3-4 by Feist and Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex by CSS.


Be sure to give track 'Garbage' a listen too.


Chairlift also play Cyprus Avenue on November 23rd.
