Sharp rock from our neighbours down south.

 
French foursome Stuck in The Sound are about to break through with their third studio album ‘Pursuit’ (released here on 30 January by PIAS). They appeared on the radar of leading French weekly Les Inrockuptibles with their debut ‘Nevermind The Living Dead’ and associated single ‘Toyboy’. On successor ‘Shoegazing Kids’ they managed to channel their energy and at the same time perfected their songs. On their ‘difficult’ third album they succeed wonderfully in writing an album full of hits, from subdued melodies to heroic rock. A concert to look forward to.

Justin Timberlake meets Blood Red Shoes. Huh? That’s right, honey! Melodious, danceable pop played by dirty devils. After several months of roaming as a one-man band, it occurred to Koenraad De Pauw that The Jack London Show might actually be more impressive as a four-piece band. Result? A combination of dancability and rawness.
