Once again, here are some songs taken from records I've receently gotten (meaning they're near the bottom of the review pile).

Foxglove Hunt - "The Mayflower Compact": I've never heard of this band before, but I was really impressed when I screened their album for review. It's called "Stop Heartbeat", and you can find it on Common Wall Records.

The Lackloves - "Hallmark Stars (Take A Seat)": This is from "Cathedral Square Park", another fine power pop record on the Rainbow Quartz label!

My Raining Stars - "All This Time": This band comes from somewhere in France, and they've recently self-released their debut album. They don't have a website, but you can find them on myspace.

Stars In Coma - "If I Could Describe": Anything new from Plastilina is welcome here, and this new album from Sweden's Stars In Coma is certainly no exception!

Since I just realized that tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, here are a few Irish bands!

Crumb - "Follow Me Home": This band's debut album, "Evenings & Weekends", was on my top ten list for 2005, and it's still fun to listen to. Go check up on them here.

The Dudley Corporation - "New Song For You": Haven't heard from this band in a while, but this song come from their 2005 "In Love With..." album on Absolutely Kosher.

The Moondogs - "Who's Gonna Tell Mary?": To celebrate Ireland's musical history, I could've put an Undertones song here, but everyone knows who they are, right? Instead, here's an excellent song from one of the country's more obscure power pop bands. You can learn more about them on their website.

The Would Be's - "My Radio Sounds Different In The Dark": And here's a song from one of the country's better '80s jangle-pop bands. This is an A-side from a 1991 single on Decoy.
