This Week’s IndieStore UK Picks

Action Plan ‘Stendhal’ – With support slots for Razorlight and Jet under their belt, Colchester’s brilliantly feisty Action Plan released their debut single last year on Young And Lost, the label that gave us Larrikin Love. Better late than never, you can get it here now. Sadly there’s no sign of the new single yet. Boys?

Emeson ‘No Reason’ – Describing your music as ‘swerving from the well-trodden path of the norm’ is just asking for rolling eyes and tutting. It’s nice to discover that Emeson isn’t wrong.

Plum ‘Well That’s It’ – Riotous blues that sounds like it’s been kicked out of a Hercules. This is music racing to get done before it hits the ground. A real rush of pounding drums, wobbly harmonica and chugging gee-tar. And it’s got a spectacular two minute intro. Life affirming stuff.
