The music world continues to please us with plenty of new tracks to explore. Interpol are out with a new album later this year. 'Lights', taken from sessions for their fourth album, is available from the band's official site. According to the band, the song will be the first of several to be released in the next few months and when complete, we should expect the new record to have a more "orchestra feel."
I have really been digging Japandroids a lot recently. Japandroids are a two-piece band from Vancouver, who got their start at the University of Victoria in 2006. Their 2009 debut Post Nothing was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year and the band has continues to please us with the release of the first in a series of 7" singles. I am not typically into loud guitar, but as a two-piece Japandroids are able to achieve rock riffs that don't come off as over-bearing, but rather as hooky and infectious.
Tunng is a folktronica (for lack of a better term) band from England. To date they have released four albums, the most recent of which is 2010's ...And Then We Saw Land. Land is probably the most accessible of the bands releases as they have steered away from the the impromptu electronic asides. "Hustle" is the lead track and first single from the new album and best exemplifies what Tunng are all about - smoothe melodies and hooky guitar riffs.
Interpol - Lights
Japandroids - Art Czars

I went to check out Tunng's myspace and was surprised to see their genre classification was a little different from yours "Female Fronted Sexual Aggressive Heavy Rock " apparently there's another band with one less N that don't sound near as good ;) Can't go wrong with banjo's and tambourines!
