George Donoso, drummer with Canadian band, The Dears, compiles his setlist for the ultimate Sunday morning comedown …
Airiel – Swimming Through Us
This is a great band from Chicago. I have a compilation of four of their EPs and every song is great. They manage to combine Ride, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and still make it sound unique.
Slowdive – Souvlaki Space Station
This song is off my favourite album of all time of the same title. I get a very uplifting feeling every time I listen to this band.
The Smiths – Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
It was really hard to pick a Smiths track since there are so many great ones. But I think this is the song that turned me into an instant fan.
Spiritualized – Broken Heart
This song gives me chills every time, especially the version off the Live record.

[...] Exclusive interview with Olivier from French pop band, Hush Puppies. Do you have a shoe fetish or is the name just reflective of the soft but sweet nature of your sound? ‘Both of them! Except that our fetish shoe is the Chelsea boot! And we think our sound is not so soft. It’s more heavy and sweet’. We hear a lot of electro out of France but not so much pop and rock. Why do so many French bands struggle to break it internationally? ‘Because of the reputation most of the French bands have abroad, many people think that there is no good rock and pop bands in France. Just as our French electro scene is hip worldwide, we hope that the French rock scene will have the same international impact. We think that our French culture could be a new breeding ground for an original rock scene and a different take. Why can’t the French rock out? And we sing well in English too, so we won’t alienate too many of you!’ Their album, The Trap, is out now.
