THE BRIGHTS A Cameo Can't Last Forever - New Single Out TODAY

Today's post features a great band from Britain whose fantastic new single will be out TODAY! If you like SHACK, SUEDE, THE BOO RADLEYS or THE OCEAN BLUE you will love

THE BRIGHTS new single:
A Cameo Can't Last Forever

Also check their website HERE!

Every now and then a band comes along whose name describes their sound and with THE BRIGHTS that is exactly what you get.

After their debut single Footsteps last year caught the attention of XFM's John Kennedy, BBC Radio 2's Janice Long and BBC London's Gary Crowley, Essex Indie/Pop foursome THE BRIGHTS are back with their second single A Cameo Can't Last Forever released on April 18th 2011. Replete with jangly guitars and an instantly memorable harmony this single is the slickest slice of Indie Pop to grace your stereos this spring. Original, up-tempo and with eighties influences ranging from Orange Juice and The Style Council to The Pale Fountains, THE BRIGHTS have been hailed for not sounding like every other indie band out there.
After honing their craft through countless gigs and numerous festival appearances, THE BRIGHTS' line-up, featuring David Burgess (Vocals), James Prudence (Guitar), Mark Newton (Bass) and Matt Humphries (Drums), has seen them share the bill with acts such as The Rifles, Noah And The Whale, Finlay Quaye and These New Puritans to name a few.
2010 has seen the band hard at work writing and recording songs for their debut album A Trivial Pursuit due for release late spring in London's 360 Studios with top producer Fraser Smith (Shed 7, Ian Brown).

The new album "A Trivial Pursuit" will be out june, 13th.

THE OCEAN BLUE (1989)

THE OCEAN BLUE's self-titled debut from 1989. I couldn't believe that an American band could sound that British. And I was quite shocked when I noticed they were actually American. (And I'm not really the biggest fan of the USA.)

And I HATE Bruce fucking Springsteen.
But THE OCEAN BLUE is very different!

ELECTRONIC Disappointed (1992)

Another great collaborator...

ELECTRONIC feat. Neil Tennant which makes this song really sound like a PET SHOP BOYS original. Incredible skills all three of them.

I was just going through my already uploaded but still unposted files and found
"All The Best" by STIFF LITTLE FINGERS
and I cannot stand to keep it that way.

My all time favourite is "Silver Lining" because of the Northern Soul feeling. Reminds me of the REDSKINS.
