Since then the band have put on a series of guerrilla art gigs at unusual locations and have picked up a few admirers along the way including Johnny Marr. The past few months have seen Ace City Racers play storming sets at the Poetry Club and Indietracks festival.
The single is a taster from the bands forthcoming debut album "Take It, It’s Yours”.

“Sounds like Roxy migrated to London to hang with Soft Boys and Blur. No bad thing I say!” – Johnny Marr, The Smiths
“These Glasgow chaps come in like early Blur with an 80s jerk pop edge and nice crunchy guitar lines.” – Gill Mills, NME Radio
“The future of intelligent pop music.” – Evening Times
“Ace City Racers... retain a rugged edge and a penchant for all things raw. This new 7" single, Different Angle, is dedicated to the audio-visual triumphs of that place that's just a little cooler than Yorkshire: Scotland.” – Norman Records
“Ace City Racers woke everyone up and were in no mood to pander to the hung-over amongst the crowd... they sped through a set of punky tunes – a great way to start any Saturday.” – Buzzin Music. -
Allo Darlin 'Dreaming / You Still Send Me'
£2.99
Visit product page →Probably the only disco song in the world to feature ukulele and lap steel, “Dreaming” is a melancholy toe-tapper of a duet with Monster Bobby of The Pipettes, who turned in a guest vocal so bass-worryingly low that he lost a filling.
A paean to going out dancing and falling in love in a cold climate it’ll make you almost nostalgic for the sub-Arctic conditions of the last British winter.
Flip it over and B-side You Still Send Me is a total heartbreaker, recorded absolutely live in the studio, vocals and all, with every breath and creak audible.

Allo Darlin 'If Lonliness Was Art'
£3.99
Visit product page →Written while visiting her parents on the Queensland Coast “If Loneliness Was Art” captures some of that Australian sea air with its laidback reggae-ish beach vibe and summery “Sha-la-la-la-las”.
Listen carefully though and you’ll hear that the carefree disposition of the song masks a quiet despair and longing in the lyrics. As Elizabeth herself says, “It's about wanting somebody. Really really badly.”Even if the British weather fails to cooperate, “If Loneliness Was Art” is going to bring a slice of Aussie pop sunshine to proceedings.

Allo Darlin 'My Heart Is A Drummer'
£2.99
Visit product page →My Heart is a Drummer is the fourth single from Allo Darlin’s self-titled debut on Fortuna POP!, an album so chock-full of great tunes that it just keeps on giving. Brightening up the dull wintery days, “My Heart is a Drummer” calypsos and sashays, combining Elizabeth Morris’ signature ukulele with Bill Botting’s rumbling bass lines, Paul Rains’ rhythmic guitar and Mikey Collins’ swinging drum beat.
Allo Darlin’ are a breath of fresh air breezing through stale music everywhere. Elizabeth Morris’ thoughtful yet playful creations are achingly personal, incredibly poignant and familiar all at once. Incorporating tunes that you think you must have heard before, she twists them into something new and highly intoxicating. Bringing a certain Australian aesthetic from her native country, she translates effortlessly into the London scene, using ideas very much based on every day life and observations.
“My Heart is A Drummer” is a statement of inner strength and defiance with lyrics somehow manages to include a chain-smoking asthma suffering boyfriend, that nervous in love feeling of twisting your fingers round the telephone cord and Paul Simon’s Graceland. Meanwhile the b-side, an acoustic version of their last single “If Loneliness Was Art”, tells of longing for someone who is seemingly out of reach.
