So The Max Levine Ensemble played in Mozarts a few weeks ago. I didn't attend because I couldn't find anywhere to crash (or rather, I was too afraid to ask someone if I could sleep over their house over fears of seeming "cheeky"), and never have I been more gutted to miss a show. Hell, I think the only other Swansea show I've missed in recent months was The Computers show (I was more gutted about missing Men than The Computers, but whatever), but who's competing? The Max Levine Ensemble are a great pop punk band from Washington, DC and feature the legend that is Spoonboy taking the lead. Not only do they play the type of Quirky and Unique Pop Punk that my heart desires, but they have also gained a shit tonne of respect for releasing a dis/response EP (which you can also download for free from Quote Unquote Records) aimed at Ben Weasil, after he called them "the worst band ever" on his radio show... yeah, fuck that guy. Despite what Weasil says, they aren't the worst band ever, just download "Ok Smartypants" and you'll see that for yourself!

DOWNLOADS: Laura Stevenson and The Cans - A Record
So Laura Stevenson and A Can ("The Can" being Mike Campbell - of Latterman, The Brass fame) played Sigma in Swansea just over a week ago, and they were, well, amazing. Laura's voice was by far the most beautiful thing I have ever heard (and that's not a word I throw around lightly). She and Mike literally had the entire audience of Sigma sat in silence, mesmerised by their soothing songs. Something that Sigma had probably never seen before, and probably won't see for a long time after. Her voice was so beautiful and heart warming that at one point it had my good friend Morg almost in tears! I've told people to download this record before they played, but I'm not sure many people actually followed through. So here it is, courtesy of quote unquote records. If you like this record either donate to Quote Unquote or buy this record in it's physical form from Asian Man Records. They fucking deserve it!
