It was short but sweet. After releasing their debut album Distance in 2011 Adelaide’s Cheer Advisory Council have decided to call it a day.

They leave us in style with their final single In Threes being available as a free download.

From The Raveonettes (Denmark) to I Was A King (Norway), Sad Day For Puppets (Sweden), The New Tigers (Finland) and many many more, there's been plenty to keep us guitar fans from wanting to hurl our deluxe vinyl boxsets at the TV next time we see fire spurting from Lady Ga Ga's tits.
Read MoreWith Curly Girl, Susan Hull has delivered an album that, unlike more formulaic folk, wouldn’t make very suitable background music. The combination of odd yet familiar sounds keeps your attention entirely tuned in. Curly Girl is certainly an adorable, entertaining and clever album not to be missed.
