Three years on since their hugely enjoyable Smoking In Heaven LP, rock’n’roll trio Kitty, Daisy & Lewis have announced the release of their new and third album, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis The Third, through Sunday Best Recordings on January 26, 2015.

Produced by Mick Jones of The Clash, the LP will feature the single ‘Baby Bye Bye’, which you can listen to below. The trio have thus far carved out a distinct niche for timeless music with a retro vibe, taking it’s inspiration from a lavish blend of R&B, Swing, Country and Western, Rockabilly, Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll (among others). New single ‘Baby Bye Bye’ fits in nicely to that category too. A retro-fitted rock ‘n roller, it’s is a bouncy joyful wee number filled with toe-tapping and infectious goodness and seductively addictive groove. There is something remarkably endearing about Kitty, Daisy & Lewis, apart from the delightful tunes, it’s refreshing to find a group so comfortable doing their own thing and the enjoyment they get from doing so really shines through in their music.

Check out ‘Baby Bye Bye’ below and they’ve lots of live dates lined up across the UK & Europe. Check them here.

Introducing: Skin Tight Poncho

I’ve been a serious Welsh buzz this week and in keeping with this pattern, here are Skin Tight Poncho, a three-piece rock ‘n roll band from Bala, outside Wrexham.

Playing music together since their school days, the trio have mastered their flair for rip-roaring blasts of blues rock. Tinged with a touch of the psychedelic, it makes for a thoroughly exhilarating listen, arrived at by way of a ferocious and finely tuned combo of pulsating rhythms, stomping riffs and howling bellied vocals. It is a kind of throw back to the late ’60s & early ’70s – think The Stones, The Spencer Davis Group and Cream. Regardless of their influences or canon, ‘Let Me Live’, their latest track, is one of the finest guitar wielded jams your likely to cross paths with. It just goes straight for the proverbial jugular, romping along with a relentless vigour, it just oozes power. Absolutely brilliant stuff!

No idea whether Skin Tight Poncho have any releases planned but there’s plenty to feast you ears on over on their Soundcloud page. For now, you can check out a few choice cuts below, including ‘Let Me Live’.
