Two and a half years ago The Strokes released ‘First Impressions of Earth’ but since that release there has been nothing. Albert Hammond Jr. has since released two solo albums and it is time for another Strokes record. The Strokes second album titled ‘Room On Fire’ came out in 2003 and it took The Strokes over two years ago to bring out their third one. 30 months later we are still waiting for an album and at the moment there is no real sign of one either. By the time we get an album it is going to be easily three and a half years since the last record. To say The Strokes are a lazy band is quite the understatement, Julian Casablancas knows he has to get the next album right because the last album did not go down well critically and with the fans. The Strokes are definitely an important band and it is time for another album from Julian and co. So Mr. Casablancas hurry up and get your finger out of your arse and give us some new material.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are not quite as bad as The Strokes because Karen O, Zinner and Brian Chase have released an EP since their last album came out in March 2006. But, still it’s been well over two years since ‘Show Your Bones’ was released and fans are wanting a new album from the New York trio. ‘Fever To Tell’ is a classic album and although ‘Show Your Bones’ did have it’s moments it was nothing on the debut album. I think the next album from the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s is going to be a big one and hopefully it will be a good one. Fingers crossed.
Post-punk outfit Neils Children released Change/Return/Success in 2004 and although there has been talk of an album for the past couple of years NC fans are still waiting for a new album. The band has had problems with members leaving and problems with labels but hopefully the band will release something this year. The band have been putting new songs on their MySpace which have been a step towards a more pop sound in comparison to songs like ‘I Hate Models’, ‘Trying to be Someone Else for Free’, ‘How Does it Feel Now You're on Your own?’ and ‘Getting Evil in the Playground’. I am looking forward to hearing an album by the band even if it is a change of direction in the way they sound.
The Sunshine Underground brought out ‘Raise the Alarm’ almost two years ago and TSU were dubbed ‘new rave’ and the album was said to have been the first album of the ‘new rave’ scene. Everybody who was anybody (apart from idiots who subscribe to everything NME say) knew TSU were not and never will be ‘new rave’, thank fuck. It is a solid debut album but two years on there is not really any talk of a new album, hopefully the band are keeping quiet about it and are going to bring out one very soon. I don’t suspect there will be a new album until late 2008 or early 2009 which is still a long time to wait.
It has been over three years since ‘Nice and Nicely Done’ was released by Americans The Spinto Band in North America and over two years since it was out in the shops here in the UK. That for any band is too long to wait to bring out a second album, I’ve not heard much talk of a follow up coming anytime soon but I have to admit I am not the biggest most hardcore Spinto Band fan. However I still would like to see how the band could go from the last album and how they will sound after ‘Nice and Nicely Done’.
