Another year, another Mercury Music Prize, and another DiS selection of alternative album choices, which probably should, in a just world, have made the Mercury list.»
Day 2 at Leeds saw slightly sunnier climbs - only slightly mind - and, for writers Dom Gourlay and Simon Jay Catling ran rather a long way into day three. You don't want to hear of our whimsical frivolities though; joined by Daniel O'Dell here's what we saw yesterday.»
T'other week, DiS was invited along to the legendary-doesn't-quite-cover-it Abbey Road studios, to see and hear the filming of a new TV show called Abbey Road debuts. And not just any ol' TV show that throws together a bunch of 'new' bands that no-one will give a toss about in 3months time (hello Delphic!) but a show that cherry-picks acts that are intriguing and genuinely special. The recording I bobbed along to was with Mount Kimbie and to say it was a 'bit good' is like saying an ice cold pint of bitter shandy is 'alright' on a sweltering day.»

Last year's Offset festival was pretty damn good. This year is looking like it's going to be just as good if not even better, judging by the latest lot of additions to the festival's bill. Pretty mouthwatering all in all, including three bands who have produced fantastic records this year, two British, one Canadian. »
The duo have just announced a handful of dates for later in the year, where you'll presumably get a chance to hear much of their record. That's the sort of thing you'd expect, anyway. You can catch them on these dates at these places in the UK and Ireland. »

So, the Great Escape starts on Thursday and features several hundred bands to watch across the three days of festivities. Yesterday, we provided you with this Spotify playlist but obviously the brand new bands who've not released anything yet aren't really up on Spotify. »
Welcome to Great Escape week on DiS... with The Great Escape 2010 only a few days away, here's our Spotify playlist to help you pick who to see (or avoid).
