"Jack Omer is the next Frank Turner people are looking for, and 'The Golden Shore' shows why. 
It's a powerful, poignant war cry, full of fiery indignation and remorse, an artist with passion and personality rattled by the broken systems governing this great nation he desperately wants release from. 
Wrapped up in a beautifully constructed acoustic melody - with a wonderfully catchy chorus to boot - 'The Golden Shore' is simply one of the best, most evocative songs released this year. It's ironically the best of British, comparable to the very best of Uncle Lucius.
A touch more despairing than a Turner tune perhaps, but a personal song sung bu a man with inspiring, truly progressive intentions. Sing because you can, play because you love, cry out because you feel. 'The Golden Shore' is one of those golden, shining beacons in a vast sea of defeatist banality."

'The Golden Shore' is taken from Jack Omer's debut album, The Music of Joanna, which can be bought from his official site. http://www.jackomer.com/

Faux Canada - Dave (from My First Earthquake) and Alejandro (from Sir Salvatore) - are a wonderful duo with a superb debut EP. 
'A Coruja' is track two from Exploding Secret Laughter, and features a special appearance from Dave's former bandmate Rebecca Bortman. It's gloriously cutesy, but not reflexive of the diverse array of tracks available on the EP.
