Someone sent me this link today by the Ammonites, who I've never heard of. It's very jangly:

What's the story with these guys (and their cardboard bass)?

I have a 3-track 7" EP by these ones. It seems they were briefly associated with Alan Jenkins' (Deep Freeze Mice, Chrysanthemums) ahem "pop empire" in Leicester. (Do we have a thread on that crowd, I wonder?)

I have a couple of tracks by this band - they're on Mind The Gap compilation and Waterbomb 1 flexi. Don't know anything about them tho.

I'd never heard of this band before, but that clip was a nice trip down the indiepop lane of yesteryear.

My favourite little .rar hoonjadoonja is ExtractNow. No frills or intrusiveness at all, just works.
