Have you fulfilled your duties as a responsible citizen? Already voted? As we told you, we had more songs pending in the pipeline for you! Here's our double dose of TOP TEN JUKEBOX with many more discoveries, awaiting for your listening pleasure. Who knows, if the extreme right (we have three parties here among them, so plenty to choose from) wins, or the too hip to vote left skips the elections this might be the last playlist (fascists and culture are not very good friends). So please, if you haven't already, go to the polling station and vote... for everything that all is at stake (our social and labour rights, women rights, our freedoms at risk, our welfare state & public services, the climate change....), or in short, for our future. United, we can. Have a good Sunday and remember, all the songs are available at our Soundcloud. (Join Us!)
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius...

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 200
Back to reality after a brief holiday break with the batteries recharged for what's coming next (promises of change in the horizon). And to return to form properly here's our flamboyant latest TOP TEN JUKEBOX. I(by the way, 200 Jukeboxes, that's a ton of great music), full of the usual new findings, plus a wonderful coincidence of having three Blog favourites and friends, The Tallest Man on Earth, Young Romance and Watoo Watoo, making their ace comebacks. All stars aligned to make you enjoy the weekend as it deserves. And remember, all the songs are available at our Soundcloud. (Join Us!)

Discoverer 162: new indie findings
Keeping the recovered pace in our discoverer series, today we bring you a trio of indiepop wonders "found" in between the end of the 2017 and the beginning of 2018. Fear no more, the jangly guitars are back!
A Certain Smile. We begin in Portland, Oregon, to meet this quartet formed around 2015, the brainchild of Thomas Andrew, who has been and indiepop activist in Pacific Northwest USA (Toffee Club Sunday brunch, radio music host at Freeform Radio), and several music ensembles on his back. One of them, Port of Call, alongside his best friend Tom Fleischer, formed in 2002 (then in Philly), can be described as the seed of A Certain Smile, as some of the tunes of their debut album 'Fits & Starts', dates back from that college years era (there are some tunes available at their bandcamp from 2004 and 2014 under their current nickname). Technically out in summer of 2017, their self-released record is fuzzy pop blast, extremely catchy and contagious, yet with space to flirt with shoegazy atmospheres. Nine vitamin pills to recharge your indiepop batteries anytime you need...
The BV's. Jump to the "old continent" with a transnational proposal, between Augsburg, Germany and Falmouth, Cornwall, UK, formed in 2016,when Fred Jehle met Josh
Turner in the latest weeks of an university exchange in UK, beginning writing tunes at a very enthusiastic, DIY pace. That initial material became their debut album 'Speaking from a Distance', out past April via Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten. The positive reviews helped the duo gain momentum, expading the project to a full live band, which allowed them to tour with Blog favourites The Bats and The Luxembourg Signal. Direct result of that latter tour, now The BV's are back with 12” EP 'Interpunktion' out just now. Somewhere in between the most atmospheric side of jangle-pop and the most melodic face of shoegaze, like The Field Mice through a wall of sound and reverb, The BV's are a real treat to the ears, expansive and warm. Exciting band not to be missed.
The Keep Left Signs. And we end in Sweden (not 100% sure, though, not much info out there) to enjoy this combo formed in the spring 2015 with members from the bands The Mare and The Electric Pop Group who, out of the blue, delivered their debut mini-album 'Tomorrow' in early December 2017. Co-released by our beloved friends at Shelflife alongside Spanish label Kocliko Records, this seven tunes are fine example of classic, timeless indiepop with a knack for melodies, melancholic vibes and that quintessential jangling guitars driving that we, "the usual suspects", need in regular doses to keep us going. A little gem to be rescued and treasured that we hope is just a first chapter of more to come...

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 171
While we are in the midst of preparing our best of the year lists (a fun tradition that we couldn't leave you without, right?) and some of you are enjoying a really long weekend, we saved a little time to bring you our new (and probably last of 2017) TOP TEN Jukebox with some 'familiar faces' like Fascinations Grand Chorus, Hideous Towns or Puzzles y Dragones, but also with several discoveries like The Nature Strip or Très Oui. Because being on the last month of the year does not necessarily mean there's no new & good music around! Have a nice day and remember, all songs are available at our Soundcloud. (Join Us!)

Easter break is almost here! We can touch it literally with the palm of our hands! While we are counting down days for our trip to the Wales Goes Pop (holidays and music, always the best combination) here's another round of our TOP TEN JUKEBOX. This week we have a really great playlist full of newcomers and the return to form of several Blog "crushes", like Mermaidens, Terry Malts or Cayetana. So take a deep breath and remember, all songs are available at our Soundcloud page (Join Us!).
