Within this months Mudkiss singles, two bands have particularly pricked my musical conscious. Rhode Island Red evoke an era of rock music revolving around, massive riffs, blistering solos and a big clean voice. In Lyla D'Souza, the band have a breathtaking female vocalist. Take a listen to current EP, Kerosene, particularly the title track or "Beige" highlighting both Lyla and the bands talents to the full.

Conversely, Airborne Enemies live at the dirtier end of the rock n roll scale. A punkier edge, gruff male vocal, check out "Streetsmarts" or Junkie Love," and feel the energy around the whole band as they strut and swagger through garage rock heaven.
Deep rooted within their essence as musicians, it's live where both bands will truly excel. Hopefully London's Rhode Island Red will be heading North before too long and coincidently, I happen to be in Stockholm when Sweden's Airborne Enemies are hoping to have a gig in the city. There can be no better opportunity to mix business with pleasure.
