When The Sun Hits is now contributing to a new weekly blog feature on the Strangeways Radio blog called Strange Week in Music.
The full article can be found on the Strangeways blog; WTSH cross
posts it only partially, with a link to the full article provided.
Strange Week in Music gives each Strangeways DJ an opportunity to highlight one track that is
related to his/her show that week; the article will include information,
links, images, a video/stream of the tracks and where they can be
purchased. You can think of it as Strangeways' Week at a Glance.
If you are
new to Strangeways Radio, or are curious about other station shows aside from
WTSH, this weekly feature on the Strangeways blog will be the perfect
introduction. Below is WTSH's second contribution.

Description: Released in February 2013, sophomore LP The
New Life from Girls
Names is the sound of a band existing on the fringe of many
genres, striving to forge their own path, purposefully out of step - and time -
with their surroundings. Weighed heavy with the grey landscapes of their
hometown, Belfast, the sound is isolation laid bare, shot through with an
undeterred sense of purpose and individuality. Reverb-heavy guitars and
compelling, immediately memorable melodies weave throughout the full length
release.
