High Above The Storm are a London based band formed in 2004. It revolves around the two core members Jason Emberton and Louis Warner who then incorporate their musician friends into their tracks such as Crawford Blair, a bassist.

They have a solid, rock sound with enough synth and effects to keep their tracks interesting. A few sample tracks are available for download here. (clicking starts a .zip file download)

Their first album will be self titled and is due to be released on 29/08/09.

Official video by Thomas Hicks. It was created using digital stills and shows a love story between a couple that live in lighthouse.

This is the official music video of Arctic Monkey’s new song ‘Crying Lightning’. I’ve also read somewhere that a few more tracks from the new album Humbug will be available to stream tomorrow.

Ten and Six are an interesting indie band from Michigan. They employ a range of instruments into their music, bells in particular which offer quite a unique sound.

Ten and Six started out as a cover band before beginning to produce their own material. They’re first self-titled EP was released in April and is available for just $4.95 here. They also go for the Radiohead, In Rainbows approach of giving fans the option  to download the whole thing hassle free first here at 320kbps quality.

I’ve included the video to their song ‘Bedside Regiments’ below, it’s very impressive.

Jamie T is an English spoken word/bass/acoustic act who released his first album ‘Panic Prevention’ in 2007. It reached #4 in the U.K charts and it’s a great record which I recommend getting someway or another. Jamie T is also playing Reading Festival this year but I didn’t manage to get tickets. (anyone want to give me some?) He’s due to release a follow up EP on the 29th June called ‘Sticks and Stones’.

I’ve managed to procure a rough version of the title track, enjoy (:
