Friendly Fires are a English electronic post-punk band based in St.Albans. Influenced by 80′s and 90′s Dance & Electronic music, as well as the stylings of post-hardcore bands such as My Bloody Valentine (i know…strange combination…explanation: they were all previously in a post-hardcore band before Friendly Fires)

Canada is doing well at the moment, another up and coming star is electro-pop maker Lights. This 20′something from Toronto is currently propelling herself into stardom with her synths that make her sound like a female version of Owl City and her quirky personality which is delighting fans through video blogs on myspace and youtube. She has just won a Juno (like our BRIT Awards i believe – just Canadian) award for ‘New Artist Of The Year’

Check her out on myspace at www.myspace.com/lightsnoise

Oh and yes, she is beautiful.

Here’s some songs.

February Air – Lights

Drive My Soul – Lights

Yes a bit of House/Dance/Electro, but i thought we could have something a bit different.

Empire Of The Sun are a Australian based Electro-Acoustic/just plain Electro project between Luke Steele of ‘The Sleepy Jackson’ and Nick Littlemore of ‘Pnau’ . I personally love the sound of this band, mixing in (mainly) acoustic guitars and the electronic synths, it works wonders. Sounding just a bit like MGMT, This bands rise to fame is deserved for sure.

Walking On A Dream – Empire Of The Sun

We Are The People – Empire Of The Sun
