We like free things, and this week has been brilliant for poor people like us getting things for nought.

CSS are the ace Brazilian band who emerged a few years ago with a feisty record full of no-holds barred indie electro complete with equally feisty lyrics. Proving that girls can actually rock out, their live gigs are full of energy, confusion and the occasional flash of nudity.

CSS have served up a new single called Rat Is Dead (Rage) as a taster for their second album Donkey. We don’t know if it’s a tribute to Shrek’s bumbling sidekick, but we won’t let that put us off. Interestingly enough, this download sees a distinct lack of electronics and a heavier use of guitars. It’s still bloody class, and if you don’t like it, just go and listen to the dire Coldplay offering that they made available today. Honestly, funeral music was a non-existent genre until they made Violet Hill available.
