Editors' Picks: The Spades / The New Breed / The Honorary Title

Adam: Go Kart Records recently released the full length Learnin' The Hard Way from Eindhoven, Holland band The Spades. It has a really sleazy, fast dirty rock'n'roll vibe. Something like Motorhead fronted by Dicky Barrett with a Nation Of Islam worldview. I'm not quite sure what that means but it's pretty rockin' stuff.
The Spades - Who Da Man?
You can find more info at Go Kart or the band's website.

Adam [2]: Halifax based The New Breed are releasing their sophomore record on Thorp Records in October. You can check out our review of the band's previous record Port City Rebels now. Here the first track made available by the label:
The New Breed - The Smoking Gun
For more info, hit up Thorp or the band's website.

Brian: I caught Doghouse duo The Honorary Title last night opening the Nightmare of You gig on Long Island, and their relatively mellow, Weakerthans-esque almost-folky rock with two scoops of melancholy impressed me. I picked up their recently released debut full-length Anything Else But The Truth that night, and continue to be impressed by what critics are liberally comparing to the late Jeff Buckley.
The Honorary Title - Bridge And Tunnel
See the band or label's official website for more info.
