What was the last record you bought? A 7” by a band called Autumns. From Derry. I saw them play last night and they were excellent, but I haven't actually listened to the record yet. It's got 4 tracks on it which is promising. Who should we be listening to right now?

The Hanging Stars "Golden Vanity" b/w "Floodbound". Reviewed by Nathan Ford. We (the royal we) are big fans of the See See here at Active Listener HQ, and we're betting that a few of you are too. Fantastic then to discover that the auto-correct nightmare Thelightshines isn't their only offshoot escapee, with this excellent 7" from the Hanging Stars giving all involved a serious run for their money.
