Mornington Crescent (Part 3)

Part three of a guide to fifty-something mostly new bands, tied loosely together by their prescence on the bill of this year's Camden Crawl. See also part two here.


Cord

Listenable but middling indie with a very slight hint of glam. Signed to Island, which suggests that they learnt nothing at all from last years Cherryfalls debacle. Forgotten them already.


The Delilahs
Website
Myspace

Three girls from the wonderfully named Zug, Switzerland, unfortunately I've already covered everything that sets them apart. More painfully average retro. Avoid.

Dogs
Website
Similarly to The Automatic, I find it much easier to see why they're one of the bigger names playing (catchier and, well, clearly better songs than most reviving a similar past) than to
actually care much for them. Could be much worse.

Elle Milano
Website (which is on Angelfire. AWESOME.)
Myspace

Shambolic noise which certainly has plentiful enthusiasm, if not a tune in sight. Could be pretty enjoyable if they had some better lyrics to add to it (maybe a less polished Art Brut), but a bit pointless for now.
Avoid.
