Pram Town is a catchy acoustic concept album from ex-Hefner frontman Darren Hayman, in conjunction with his Secondary Modern outfit. Broadly based around the Essex new town of Harlow, it’s an intriguing procession through some of the ups and downs of suburban life, replete with great lyrics.

Bowerbirds’ debut LP is the sort of slow-release indie-folk almost-masterpiece that seems anything but the first few times through. So very slight are most of the arrangements collected here that unless attentions are finely tuned words and melodies that – later – will enrapture merely drift into the ether between a semblance of appreciation and the shrug of indifference.

Antònia Font is a pop band from Mallorca (Balearic islands), in Spain. The band was formed in 1997. Their music is basically festive and their lyrics are funny, inventive and realistic; they focus on space, astronomy and everything related with astronauts, but also on the everyday reality, establishing a constant game between a local and a universal or cosmic perspective of the world we are immersed in.
All their lyrics are written in Catalan. They have released six records: Antònia Font (1999), A Rússia (2001), Alegria (2002), Taxi (2004), Batiscafo Katiuscas (2006) and Coser i Cantar (2007).
Their song-writer is guitarist Joan Miquel Oliver who also produces records on his own and writes for other bands like Fora des Sembrat and La Fosca. The other band members are Pau Debon (voice), Jaume Manresa (keyboards), Pere Manel Debon (drums) and Joan Roca (bass).
