Be My Valentine?

The day for lovers is almost upon us and we can't just ignore it. We want to encourage you to make a romantic playlist for the big night, something that will really work with low lighting and roses. Drop the indie rock for one night eh? A little Doo-Wop for dinner? A little something latin for dessert? A smooch to When a Man Loves a Woman? And Marvin Gaye for afters? The rest is up to you...

Sacred Mother Tongue

Already backed by Bruce Dickinson and lined up for remix treatment by Russ Russell, Sacred Mother Tongue are one of the hottest up and coming metal acts at the moment. Fresh from supporting Johnny Truant, these Midlands metal gods are on their own national headline tour taking in most of the UK, lasting for nearly 3 months. If you like your metal fresh, intelligent and (dare we say it) melodic, let Sacred Mother Tongue scream in your ears and take your soul.

Mark Morrison

Ah, Return of the Mack. No really, he really has returned. And what a return it is. From his stellar rise to Number 1 and fall with a well publicised prison stay, Morrison has clearly not lost his touch and this latest release, Dance 4 Me revives his 'Ohio Players in the 21st Century' sound with a style that's unmistakably Morrison. There's no cost to Wippit subscribers on this one, so if you need to get your groove on this Valentine's this new release will surely impress your lucky partner that 'you got it'.

Tokyo Police Club

The lead track from their A Lesson In Crime EP, Cheer It On introduces the world to Tokyo Police Club with a cry of "Operator, get me the president of the world!". And indeed these ambitious young indie upstarts really are ready to take over the world with their Strokes-on-fizzy-drinks sound (their longest song weighs in at 2:51). Canada has never sounded so exciting.

Competition!

Congratulations to Priscilla, Carole and Hannah who were the lucky winners of our Daddy Fantastic competition.
