PIFCO
Leeds' new grunge revivalists kicking out tune after tune and currently discovering futuristic technology such as keyboards. Brand new album out now on Run of The Mill! [Pifco MySpace]

TRIPLESCHOOL
A new band employing the prepossessing talents of That Fucking Tank lad Giles Bailey and chum Tom Varley in a pared-down paean to the punk model laid down by the likes of Black Flag & The Circle Jerks. Feral and disorderly, with stacks of drum clouting, tireless showmanship, oblique lyricism and sweating. [Tripleschool MySpace]

PLAAYDOH
A Glaswegian four-piece who combine the cheerful melody of Architecture In Helsinki with the messy scratch of Stereolab to create a beguilingly simplistic and rumpled chirp full of strident basslines and keyboard twinkle. They are also generous enough to give away an EP of music for no money via Winning Sperm Party Records which you should take advantage of this minute. [Plaaydoh MySpace]

ENABLERS
ENABLERS. Those cunning, compulsive and malevolent compatriots we eagerly allow to drag us along to our willful destruction. Those little demons that flutter in our ears encouraging us to do what we know best not to do.

Fitting to its name, the San Francisco quartet Enablers writes songs that are equally manipulative and encouraging to our darkest desires. The band made up of journeyman veterans of Swans, Tarnation, Nice Strong Arm and Toiling Midgets merges dramatic and flowing melodic soundscapes – of which SF Gate calls "possibly the world's best power trio" – with the visceral spoken narratives of underground literary veteran Pete Simonelli. It's almost as though the band's fluid and often soothing music exists to distract our better instincts while Simonelli whispers above it all, urging and lulling us into the dark, decrepit world of his words.

Output Negative Space picks up where Enablers' previous Neurot Recordings album End Note left off, adding more soaring melody to the sometimes parched and brittle, sometimes coiling and steeped in tension. It's musically reminiscent of the dynamics of Slint and the raw neo-beat intellect of Saccharine Trust. And, above it all, Enablers make music that exists in a realm beyond the typical sing-song gestures of traditional tunes. It's something altogether as powerful and motivating as our own psyche.
