Every week, Hit or Hype wades through the most buzzed-about bands all across the Internet. This week: a few choice picks from the charts at BlogFreshRadio.
The Band: The Last Shadow Puppets
The Buzz: Alex from Arctic Monkeys & Miles of the Rascals.
Listen If You Like: Playing Parklife while watching The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Key Track: "Age of Understatement," which sounds like an outtake from the soundtrack from some mod western, full of clomping percussion, twitching guitar and a string section that swirls like a lasso.
The Band: Frightened Rabbit
The Buzz: Scottish quartet finds catharsis through rock.
Listen If You Like: Sobbing along to the Frames while flipping through pics of the ex.
Key Track: "The Modern Leper," where a dry acoustic strum builds to a thundering, pleading chorus.
The Band: The Black Angels
The Buzz: Stonerrific psych rock.
Listen If You Like: Standing on your neighbor's lawn in a black cloak, lit torch held high.
Key Track: "You on the Run," which marries doomy guitars to even doomier drums.

Alex Turner Miles Kane side project is not that bad. A twist from Arctic Monkeys guitar based indie-rock towards a more pop-friendly orchestral rocks that fits better actual Brit music scene.
