Weekly Update: 29/02/2008


<<< DOWNLOAD >>>



February… one of the shortest months and yet, in 2008 at least, it’s been one of the most interesting. We’ve had a right ol’ mix of sounds grace the TLOBF stereo recently and we’ve picked the very best to share with you. From new material from one of our favourite new acts, Frightened Rabbit, through the perfectly formed Americana of The Acorn to the spaced out wonder of Fuck Buttons. If there’s anything we’ve missed, let us know!
