Wow, last November was cold. Re-reading posts from back then is more of a task whereby filtering out seething resentment at the weather is the priority, rather than reading about, you know, new bands.

Still, you too can now enjoy that festering anger, as well as discovering which great new bands floated our collective boat in November 2008!

As always, there is a generically-good Scandiwegian pop-rock band, a mentalist noise band and one super-smashing-great band in the lovely, er, Ex-Lovers.

So load up on blankets and warm socks and hunker down with the best bands from last November!
