Josh T. Pearson’s debut solo album 'Last Of The Country Gentlemen' - a collection of seven songs drawn from the lessons of what he describes as “a rough year”, was released this month to universal acclaim after a self imposed hiatus that stretched out over ten years. The songs themselves are personal, powerful, painful and move with their brutal honesty, offering hope from the trials he’s suffered and survived. The songs were recorded in a Berlin studio in two nights and it is without doubt the bravest album you’ll hear in 2011.

A few weeks ago, we made Ocean Colour Scene our Stereoboard Tour of the Week for their forthcoming ‘Moseley Shoals’ 15th anniversary dates. Now it’s time for another group of Britpop survivors, although these ones have decided to call it a day. That’s right, it’s The Bluetones. After seventeen years, six albums and thirteen Top 40 singles, this London quartet have announced that their tour in September will be their last. Earlier this week, the band’s MySpace page read: “We're afraid the time has come and we must say farewell. We will be playing a career-spanning set of songs as a way to say thank you to our loyal supporters and hopefully signing off with a bit of a bang. We hope we'll see you all in September.”

There have been even fewer that have managed to do it with a particularly curious-sounding band name. Well, Copenhagen’s Treefight for Sunlight are ready to change all that.
