Expectations

Cut off your hands have an exclusive EP, Live at the Lime with... out now, only at the LimeWire store. It was recorded in Oct. 2008 for a Live at the Lime Session at the CMJ in New York earlier this year and and it includes two songs from their upcoming full-length album, scheduled for a Jan 2009 release. "Oh Girl" (my favourite track) and "Let's Get out of here" will be on the upcoming You and I full length.

Tracklisting:

1. You Still Love Me
2. Nostalgia
3. Oh Girl
4. Still Fond
5. Let's Get Out Of Here

Cut off your hands also a new video for their song, "Expections".

Since we're already on the subject of expectations, Glasgow's Bubblegum Lemonade is slightly cooler than their name leads you to believe.

It's twee-pop, combined with 60's sha-la-las but slightly darker with Jesus and Mary Chain style drumming and Byrds inspired catchiness.

The Starlets are actually a bunch of guys from Glasgow who "rock it in a shy way". They're big in Japan and their songs sound starry.
