Insert Herb Pun Here

I got a cool CD in the post the other day from a band from Sarf London called Rosemary. I'm not too keen on the name but gave it a listen and hey, it's pretty bloody good.



It's a 2-track demo in advance of their (very limited edition) debut single out on August 7th.


Both songs are really strong, and i've spent the last week trying to work out which one to post. But I think i've settled on the the title track, 'Suburban Kings'.

It's a bit reminiscent of the Libertines, but the two singers work together well and when I heard it played before one of the bands at ACTH on Friday I noticed it induced quite a bit of head nodding and hip shaking.

ROSEMARY - SUBURBAN KINGS

I really like the b-side as well, which has a bit more of a Kinks vibe about it. They sound like they'd be pretty fun live.... you can and possibly should catch them here and then:
