New Entry: The Jungle Giants Reveal New Single "Every Kind Of Way"

Brisbane indie pop/rock band The Jungle Giants have revealed their brand new single "Every Kind Of Way"

The song is the first taste from the band's forthcoming sophomore album, and the follow up to 2013's ‘Learn To Exist’, which is due for release early August 2015.

About the track, the band said: "‘Every Kind Of Way’ shows a band that is completely confident in its sound. This time around we’re much more comfortable with recording and went in thinking we’d just try everything we wanted to try. It was a little chaotic and messy, but we felt like we could do whatever we wanted and no one could tell us otherwise."

Recorded in a makeshift studio inside an old Queenslander in rural South East Queensland, The Jungle Giants have worked with producer Magoo once again.

"Every Kind Of Way" will be out on 10 April through Amplifire Music, and is available for pre-order and stream here.

FFS (Franz Ferdinand & Sparks) Announce Self-titled Album, Air ""Piss Off"

FFS, the new super-group formed by Franz Ferdinand and Sparks, have announced they will release their self-titled debut album on June 8 via Domino Records.

The 12-track album has been produced by John Congleton at London’s RAK Studios, and was recorded during an intense 15-day period in late 2014. "We approached it the way bands do with their first record,” says Alex Kapranos. “We had the songs first, rehearsed them and then recorded it all together, in a room. So no hanging around or fannying about."

Very much a ‘new’ project, FFS doesn't truly sound like either band, but a striking and fascinating mutation. “The real motivation was to make something new, not ‘Franz featuring Russell Mael’, or ‘Sparks with Franz Ferdinand backing them," he adds. 

The lead track "Piss Off" is the first song they wrote for the album, it is out now, and is very Sparks but also very FF.  Pre-order the album here.

Check out the album's tracklist and stream Piss Off below.

01. Johnny Delusional
02. Call Girl
