The Belgian band Showstar have a new album titled Think RingoThe new releases for 2010 are starting to pile up folks, so we’ll have a new batch of songs ever Tuesday from all the latest, and greatest, releases.
Showstar are from the small Belgian town of Huy, and are quite popular in their home country, France and the UK, and are still chipping away at building a strong North American following. Think Ringo was produced by Gareth Parton (The Go! Team, Foals, Pete And The Pirates) and recorded in London and Belgium. Showstar has previously opened for bands like The Rakes, The Thrills, Ash, Mogwai, The Charlatans, and Stereophonics. Think Ringo is available for pre-order now, and officially drops on Monday, Feb. 15th. We’ll have another track from Showstar in our Valentine‘s playlist mixes later this week.

Recent releases from Yours Til Death, Brothers Gruesome & FM Belfast
The following are songs that were either sent to us late, or that we didn’t have time to listen to and publish prior to the release date. First up, a double shot from the Silverlake (an area of LA east of Hollywood) band Yours Til Death. The band was the brainchild of singer/songwriter Adam Ross, who recently completed a world tour as guitarist for Rihanna. Ahhh, but don’t worry, the band, which also features drummer Hayden Scott and bassist Dave Berg – are alternative rockers who can deliver a thrashing, forward-driving sound (“Cut and Paste”), as well as catchy, melodic ballads, such as on the track, “Look the Other Way.” Following Yours Til Death is Iceland‘s popular electro-indie band, FM Belfast and OK City’s relatively unknown Brother Gruesome.
“Cut and Paste” – Yours Til Death from their Delivered EP – released Jan. 7th
