Fear Of Flying are a British band that play fast, dancy, eighties pop songs. I thought the eighties were tapped out, but these guys make it sound fresh again. Their songs are a celebration of youthful debauchery and great pop music. They’ve already supported the likes of The Maccabees, Jack Peñate and Jamie T and they sound so insanely fun and catchy that they probably won’t have any problems selling their tunes to the people.

Things have been so crazy this week that I really didn’t expect to have a New Band Crush, so I wasn’t paying attention to The Stomps at first. When I finally woke up out of my caffeine haze and gave them a proper listen, I was hooked! They’re from New Zealand and they’re a cross between a more subdued version of Man Man and a theatrical, modern sea shanty band - if there is such a thing. Their MySpace claims to have these two songs from their first EP up for free, but the download thingy don’t work, so here ya go. “The Bitch Has Done It Again” is amazing, it’s an angry, roaring beast of a song about a cheating, ehm, skank. Don’t forget to download the other two (working) songs on MyStomp from their upcoming second EP, because especially “Beaumains” you won’t want to miss. Sigh, it’s times like this that make me love New Band Day so very much.
