The Adored - TV Riot

The Adored are a revision of old british rock/punk like the Buzzcocks or the Sex Pistols under the California sun. Their ep came out on the 21st - get it here.

Their first single TV Riot features guest vocals from none other than Pete Shelley of the aforementioned Buzzcocks.

Dirty Vegas - Walk into the Sun

I liked the last Dirty Vegas hit "Days go by." I could have done without the constant car commercial, but I love the acoustic version that they had (if I find it I'll post) and the radio edit had a nice euro pop feel.

Now Dirty Vegas is back with their album "One" and I have to say that I love the first single "Walk into the Sun" so much more than "Days go by"

This thing is Rock, catchy, and sing along all rolled into one nice package. Check it out
