Long before Nick Allbrook put his Tame Impala offshoot together, there was another Pond, a powerhouse three piece formed in Portland in 1991. The band produced three albums in total, but their self-titled debut on Sub Pop is the one to go for. It's loud, tight and melodic. Let's call it by it's name - it's grunge! I saw Pond perform in front of a criminally sparse crowd at the Camden Underworld in 1993 and they were a spectacular proposition in concert too. This is 'Agatha'.

Pond on Pond
With five albums since 2009 and a sixth
already in the can (or perhaps on the hard-
drive), Australian psych-rock combo Pond
aren't hanging about in their quest for world
domination. Their new LP, 'Hobo Rocket',
contains the massive 'Xanman' - think George
Harrison's 'Wah Wah' turned up a few notches.
Hold on to your hat.
