This week's top spins at MONO studios!

We're going to try something new here. Actually it isn't new to us at MONO since we've all at one point shared music with one another either through Facebook or MOG. I swear we are always trading and suggesting bands that I decided to make it official and public to all our MONO players and fans. Let's start out with what's been spinning this monday morning, and what was spinning on our New York trip last week.

1. The Windupdeads - Self-Titled



This is the bands debut album and it is certainly one that might not be topped by this Swedish quartet. I would imagine that fans of Snow Patrol would really dig them and you can tell their influences span away from Sweden into UK territory. They sound a bit like a more indie pop version of the Longpigs. I hear a lot of Richard Hawley vocalesque crooning from the vocals at similar ranges. It's definitely worth a listen.

2. Dub Trio - Another Sound is Dying



Heavy Dub is the new sound. Plain and simple. These guys make it look way too easy and it's painful thinking how good they are. D and I are always amazed how unfortunate so many people don't know who they are and have never heard their sound.
So it should by everyones dying wish to see them live...go...now!

3. David Mead - Almost and Always, Part I

David Mead has been on our radar for years. We were fortunate to catch him in San Francisco before MONO ever got off the ground and we were always talking about how awesome it would be to start this company and have DM use the products. That day will come very soon. So our gift to you is the opportunity to obtain some of Mr. Mead's wonderful music. He is currently working with a great label called NoiseTrade which follows the same principles of Radiohead's In Rainbows.
