Forget the new Strokes single for a moment and succumb to a dose of proper rock n’ roll, courtesy of Obits. Featuring members of defunct US hardcore bands Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes and Pitchfork, as well as Edsel, this is simple, biting guitar music in the vain of The Stooges or The Walkmen. They release second album, ‘Moody, Standard and Poor’, via Sub Pop on March 29th. The ‘(arguably) greatest independent label in the whole wide world’ has also made today’s MPFree, ‘You gotta lose’, available as a free download – in exchange for an e-mail address.
