Elle s'appelle to release debut album

Almost two months ago, I saw seemingly random status update from Liverpool band 28 Costumes announcing that they would be releasing their 2nd album This Band Has Eaten All Our Money via Used Vinyl Club/Rekordmeister Music. Intrigued I went to the page and it announced not only that but a slew of other exciting releases - like the release of Elle s'appelle's debut album The Amazing World 'o Stuff.

Some background: Rekordmeister Music is a label set up in 2008 by now-defunct Elle s'appelle bandleader Andy Donovan, members of the band 28 Costumes, as well as their manager. They've released singles for bands House That Jack Built and Hallo...I love you! as well as the first single from 28 Costumes sophomore album "This Band Has Eaten All Our Money". This year they started The Used Vinyl Club a project featuring monthly limited edition releases and performances at Mello Mello in Liverpool.  

There's actually releases from a whole bunch of Liverpool bands worth checking out like House That Jack Built and Voo. So if you're interested, make sure and check them out here or here.

You can hear two new Elle s'appelle tracks:

28 Costumes to release new album

Liverpool band 28 Costumes has announced the upcoming release of their new album. Recorded in the summer of 2008 by fellow band member Andy Donovan, the album will contain several tracks already released as singles ("This Band Has Eaten All Our Money") and some released on EPs ("Inside/Out", "You Excite Me", "Erika") as well as several new songs. This album will be the band's sophomore release after the 2004 The Fake Death Experience. The album is to be called This Band Has Eaten All Our Money after the single of the same name is set for a summer release but lucky concertgoers will have an opportunity to buy the limited edition album on their April 10th show in Liverpool. The limited edition album will come in 28 Costume's money bags filled with real money where it will be possible for an even luckier few to get their money back as several of the bags will be filled with the exact cost of the album.

I have to say it's about time! I love this band's energetic and vibrant sound and have been waiting for the news of this album's release for about two years. It's sure to be amazing and I'm excited just thinking about it. Hear what the band sounds like with their music video for the single "Erika" released before Donovan joined the band:
