*[SPIN.com] Next week, Xtra Mile will release Polymers Are Forever, a new EP from wily Welsh indie rock outfit Future of the Left, the current songwriting vehicle for former Mclusky frontman Andy Falkous. It's six songs in 20 minutes, every single one of which is as acerbic and ill-tempered as you could ever hope. (Surprisingly, even his mother found something to love.) To those of you meeting Mr. Falkous for the first time, we envy you: The ride is bumpy, but glorious. STREAM THE EP HERE.
*[FMQB.com] In advance of The Black Keys' upcoming album El Camino (set for release on December 6th) Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney sit down with Chris Duncombe from CFOX.

*Check out a review of Monogamy Party's Pus City from thestranger.com... "Pus City is a glorious gift bestowed on our city of pussies. While a hundred new indie-folk singer-songwriters pop up every week, we need a balance—it's necessary for ALL OF US to stay in tune with the natural order of things; we need both sides to rise with equal strength and proportionate power. Since the Blood Brothers broke up, and both the Spits and Big Business left town, the scales have been tipped way too far into the soft fuzzy Santa beards of so many prancing troubadours. Formed only two years ago, Monogamy Party are here to readjust our local equilibrium with raw energy, fury, and their first EP. All within their first song, the Seattle noise-pileup trio traverses easily from KARP-heavy glory to a downright pensive Modest Mouse–type riff, to a godheadSilo dice-up section, back into KARP-style group-vocal send-up. Metal and punk fans have a new reason to wake up."
