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.
