Thomas Tantrum – Hot Hot Summer * Single of the day * release date 5/6/2011

Hot Hot Summer is a great song with an amazingly catchy chorus and that is reason enough to make it a single of the day. However there is one important element that really makes Thomas Tantrum sound unique and that is the vocals of Megan Thomas. Not only is her voice distinctive but she also manages to create a frisson with the music that builds a real air of electricity into the track.

Hot Hot Summer is the latest single to be release from Thomas Tantrum's imminent second album Mad By Moonlight which is due for release on Sunday (12^th of June) and also includes the equally brilliant single Sleep.

Thomas Tantrum – Sleep * Single of the day * release date 27/3/2011

This is what indie should sound like. A great pop song but somehow a bit further out there than the mainstream. No intro, straight into the vocals and for two seconds you think this could be an Amy Winehouse influenced track. Not a bit of it, although Megan Thomas has a fantastic voice so you think it's a possibility.

No, as soon as the guitar starts buzzing you know that Thomas Tantrum are not a band that's afraid to sound different. The result is that Sleep not only catches your attention the first time you hear it but keeps a hold of it for every play after, sounding better and better (for at least ten plays so far...).

Sleep ? Not while listening to this.
