It has a few indie-rock gems on it by bands I've never heard of before: Ambulance Ltd, The Explosion, VHS Or Beta, and Hell Is For Heroes. All pretty cool songs.

Anyone get this CD or know these bands? They're pretty impressive.

Ambulance Ltd played in Whelans last month in support of The Dears. The former were better than the latter; and are on CD too. Really like what they do.

VHS or Beta - saw these play in support of The Frames in Chicago in, I think, 2002. A rather strange music they create, a type one will tire of quickly, IMHO.

The other two I do not know.

I've heard of Hell Is For Heroes before... quite good, but I only ever had the single "Night Visions".

Any chance of throwing up the whole listing for the CD? I'm curious.

No? I'm just curious and can't go near town due to a major college deadline!

Ambulance Ltd are pretty good. well worth listening to. They've only got one album out at the moment (that i know of). Definately in my regular rotation.

There's a few songs available on their site: http://www.ambulancenyc.com/ Give em a listen if you can.

EDIT: Just noticed they have another site: www.ambulanceltd.co.uk

I've heard one of the Hell is for Heroes albums - The Neon Handshake. It's not bad. I like "Retreat" and "Slow Song". They used to play them on Phantom.

They released a new album on the 14th of March. Has anyone heard it?
