- The Weekly DiScussion: our albums of the year, so far
Hey, you! Chew that turkey properly and then give us a hand. We want to know about your tips for 2007.
That’s right, folks: one year may be over, but a new one is just about to begin. And when it does, we’re going to have seventeen skip-loads of brand new bands to talk about. Excited? C’mon, we’re sweating liquid expectation here.
Among DiS’s ‘tips’, if you will, for 2007 are, without a doubt, Foals, Jamie T (who will finally release the album we’ve been waiting for), Los Campesinos! (pictured), The Maccabees and I Was A Cub Scout. Expect full-blown previews of what these acts have to offer in 2007, and more, in January.
For now, though, we want to know what you’re looking forward to on the new bands front. Is an act making waves in your neighbourhood and seems certain to find a much bigger audience in ’07? Is there a band you’ve been following for ages that’s about to make good over the next twelve months? Are there any albums in particular, from artists old or new, that are sure to hover near the top of end-of-’07 lists? Be sure to include links. Share the love!
As aforementioned, we'll be previewing our tips for 2007 just as soon as our Christmas pudding goes down properly. Look forward to that. In the meantime… DiScuss…

Safetyword
Quack Quack
And
Findlay Brown
.
I like Foals alot but cant see them having much success. Im loving ox.eagle.lion.man and kissing cousins

Lazarus Clamp and Former Utopia should all do well

kubichek
^
pull tiger tail
they seem to know whats what
mine:
The Strange Death of Liberal England
Rival Joustas
Xerox Teens
also, the pirate ship quintet might get some critical acclaim...
Try as I might
As I few female friends like em; I can't get into The Pippetes (sound like the Sheila's Wheels ad). Although I realise you weren't tipping them :-)
my tip's for the top for in 2007
Land of Talk
Van She
Shy Child
you heard it here first!
oh and the
Cold War Kids too...
el-p
has a new album coming - considering the collective amazingness of cannibal ox, company flow, his solo stuff and all the other bits and bobs of production he's done, plus *that* rap on We're Famous, i am mightily excited about that.
Also hoping for some more Let Our Enemies Beware and You Judas...
Indigo Moss
Pete and the Pirates
It Hugs Back
New You Judas
album out in February!
YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
future of the left
they will be the only thing i listen to for 90% of 2007...
We are the Physics
Danananyckroyd.
Almost makes me wish I lived in the North.
If Meet me In St Louis break through...
...I will be VERY HAPPY.
The Twang
are on fire!
hmmm, reckon they will be pretty huge that band
...These New Puritans and The Violets should do well this year too.
Think Foals will turn the indie hipsters heads but can't see how this'll translate into sales...
Reckon
Have you seen the ace tiger masks that band have had made? That always sways me!
Pull Tier Tail that is
not These New Puritans etc...
metronomy!
Gotta love those odd dance moves.
And Fujiya & Mijagi - saw a thread on another part of the board which reminded me how good this lot are
Oppenheimer/Desert Hearts
And the Shins to become the new Killers. More's the fuckin' pity
Yndi Halda
Hijera
Dead Dead Dead
Rival Joustas
Frank Turner
Adele
1990s (unfortuantly)
.
theses....
adam patrick
laura groves
i bloody well
hope they do too. they deserve it!
top band.
Tipping...
Gubernaculum
Harris Tweed
The Clams
...
new Arts & Crafts signing Young Galaxy will make it.
French band This is pop.
And I really hope that Last Harbour new album will make them much well known.
some tips
Real Ones - Lovely, folky Bergen pop
Findlay Brown - Great singer-songwriter
Laura Marling - Jamie T's lass? Great voice
Shady Bard - Great ephemeral tunes
Windmill - It'll be one of your album's of the year!
Pilote - He's back, great lo-fi tracks akin to Ivor Cutler
Answering Machine - New skinny boy heroes..
I reckon
The Horrors will make good on their early retro garage-punk vibe promise. *That* video will certainly keep helping.
Fields will continue to grow bigger and bigger (can't wait for their first full album)
and if there's any justice in the world, there will be a full album of covers released by mr_hopkinson's computer.
hmm
Fields and Cold War Kids are obvious choices, but I Was A Cub Scout are shockingly terrible
Tinseltown
To echo Zain Lowe and what he said on the gonzo christmas special
Tinseltown
"Their good"
These wil rock you next year...
Field Music - Tones of Town
Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity
Hella - Theres no 666 in Outer Space
Trans Am - Sex Change
And obviously the new Les Savy Fav, MF Doom, Shellac, Big Business are gonna fucking rock harder than most!
bands for 07
Fields
Talk Taxis
Captain Lovely
Electriq Mistress
...look out for this lot
My bets would be on..
New Homes
The Wombats
Foals
The Strange Death Of Liberal England (this would be good)
Youngplan
Farewell Finito
Fox N Wolf
Patrick Wolf's new album getting the respect it deserves would be great.
Also Emmy The Great to finally release Edward Is Deadward would make my year.
P.S
The NME not making up any new genres especially for Foals would do everyone a favour in 2007 too.
foals and then some...
Foals (obviously), Shrag, Die Princess Die & The Hold Steady all deserve a good year in 2007. So does ex-Million Dead singer Frank Turner with his solo stuff.
I reckon....
Someone Still Loves You,Boris Yeltsin
Oh No! Oh My! and
The Pink Spiders
Maybe not HUUUUUUUGE but i reckon they will all make some waves over here soon.
True Adventures
They're good and the brains behind it is a mate.
After that I could care less. I haven't heard anyone to get excited about yet.
best for 2007
The Bavarian Druglords
They're from New York and the first time I heard them I nearly fell over trying to find out who was playing at the club. Sound stuff really.
Reverand & the Makers.
Yet another band from Sheffield.
In the studio at the mo.
Not quite my cup of tea,but I expect them to do really well.
bands I hope will be
big, er, whatever that means, in 2007
The Bridge Gang
Future Of The Left
Sky Larkin
The Hussy's
Wild Beasts
almost forgot
Jack Penate, Adele, Jamie Woon, Palladium and The Magic,
though I dunno how suitable they all are for the DiS boards...
Ohbijou
Arcade Fire for ladies.
Rock ladies.
Hold Steady
Can't get enough of this lot right now.
Air
Traffic.
i reckon
the scare, cold war kids, calvin harris, tiny dancers, the twang, jakobinarina, dead disco, findlay brown, the enemy, dananananakroyd, pull tiger tail...
.
Rolo Tomassi will be massive.
Sika Redeem should be massive.
My ..
bartender
Jamie Woon is a cool guy
but Sonic Dragolgo will be big if there is ANY justice.
(NB. Justice unlikely).
Hmmm...
The KBC
Kowalski
Pull Tiger Tail
Superkings
Particually The KBC.
Has anyone else heard
of this band called 'the beatles'.
the released a pretty cool album last year called 'love'. they are kinda of doing an Oasis/Kasabian type thing, only better (in my opinion).
anyway they are my tip for 2007, along with these new puritans and wild beasts.
Stars of the 'shire
Ras Militia & Magic Skool Bus, the latter creating some interest over the water.
I'm clairvoyant...
The Maccabees
[amen]
The Pigeon Detectives
[because Matt has the coolest hair and they rocked my favourite, now deceased, venue. And. They. Have. The. Best. Name. Ever.]
Dustin's Bar Mitzvah
[they truly have the courage to be drunken bafoons and the best version I have ever heard of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Period.]
Little Man Tate
[top blokes - free gig - and they make the crowds go wild]
Air Traffic
["Just Abuse Me"]
Over and Out.
Tones of Town
is one fine record
BATTLE
The Bridge Gang, Jamie T, Elle Milano, Good Shoes and the Answering Machine are my top Picks.
1984
said it before, I'll say it again. Hopefully they'll get some recognition this year
Tip for 2007
Confined Space
http€://www.myspace.com/confinedspace2006
hell yeah
Battle are splendid.
Had the pleasure of seeing them last year only wasn't too happy with the fact they played out the set with "Children."
Other than that - cool band.
Dragon City will be signed.
Get their debut album now if you like music-transcendent. http://www.myspace.com/dragoncity
hmmm
enter shikari, crystal castles, css, kids in glass houses, shiny toy guns, uffie.... . .
will probably go to sleep and wake up remembering a hundred more
oohh yeah
erm
tinsel town, bono must die, hadouken (eugh they're driving me nuts but everyone's obsessed), calvin harris, metronomy, blah blah blase, mstrkrft, sky larkin, black wire, winterkids, patrick wolf....
oo yes
having seen actress hands support ESP i can say they produce an uncanningly (is that a word?) entertaining show. although sadly i don't reckon they will ever be appreciated by the masses. :(
you going to the show?
100 club. nice.
tipping the underdogs
future corpses
future of the left
