We're about a month away from the unveiling of SLS14. SLS, as you know, releases an edition twice a year and contains what we deem to be the best new rock from the six month period.
I spent some time on the weekend listening to your nominations and paring down the potential tracklisting. There are 19 songs in strong contention, totaling a little over 78 minutes. With a month to go it's same to assume one or two new songs will rise to the occasion, but here are the 19 I've whittled the list down to thus far.
- Wake Up - Arcade Fire
- Hypnotize - System of a Down
- Romantic Rights - Death From Above 1979
- Soul Meets Body - Death Cab For Cutie
- Juice Box - The Strokes
- Monster Hospital - Metric
- Stricken - Disturbed
- Fuck Off - Custom
- Only - Nine Inch Nails
- The Denial Twist - The White Stripes
- DOA - Foo Fighters
- Doesn't Remind Me - Audioslave
- Ageless Beauty - Stars
- Girl - Beck
- Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day
- Do You Wanna - Franz Ferdinand
- Oh Be Joyful - Matthew Good
- Dare - Gorillaz
- Middle of Nowhere - Hot Hot Heat
Nominations are still be accepted. We'll release the final list just before Christmas.
