Earlier last month we announced the headliners for the 2Poor2Pitch weekender, as curated by ourselves, Drowned in Sound dot com. It was exciting news given that we managed to secure Johnny Foreigner, Sky Larkin and Clinic, who all rank in the upper echelons of "bands we really actually quite like an awful lot" at DiS.
That takes place next weekend at The Harley, in Sheffield, over the course of three days. To celebrate this, there's a download of a BRAND NEW track from Birmingham three-piece (or trio, if you want) JoFo. It's called 'With Who, Who And What I've Got' and can be downloaded by your bad selves by clicking here. It's reet good, honestly.
We remind you that there's also a three-track EP from Sky Larkin available, too, which includes two new tracks, one of which is the lead single (and title track) from their upcoming second record Kaleide, you can get those tracks by clicking your mouse this way. You can also read more deets about that album here.
