Track of the Week

This weeks track goes to Cage The Elephant with one of their older songs 'Back Against The Wall'. It's a great rock song with an incredibly catchy chorus that has been amazingly helpful getting me through exam stress although the video is odd; there's no denying it. Their also touring currently so if you like them why not see them live?

Jelaca

One of my school friends started a Youtube channel a while ago where she records herself singing versions of well known songs and the product are charming covers that will inevitably bring some cheer into your day. She has a beautiful retro tone to her voice, similar to that of Amy Winehouse and Paloma Faith, and her songs are always a delight to listen to.
What she does is incredibly brave and self expression in it's purest form; she sings because she loves singing and to release emotions which is surely the point of music. Please check out her youtube channel (I've put the link below) and I hope you like it!
She also needs votes for a talent competition so please follow this link and vote for her! http://www.1click2fame.com/competitors/jelaca
Oh and I know this post is a shameless plug but at least it's a shameless plug for real talent.

Track of the Week

Although this song may be a few years old I haven't been able to stop listening to it (along with Suede's incredible back catalogue). The song is 'Can't Stand Me Now' by The Libertines. It's a song about the breaking down of a relationship written during a tenuous time for the band members and it's that brutal honesty that makes this song so great; it's accessible to anyone. Everyone can relate to this song's content and the music is perfect; it's a legendary indie track.

Suede 'Animal Nitrate'

So I don't just want to celebrate current music in this blog but rather reference some older indie music that has inspired and shaped the world of independent music today and one band that can only be accused of being highly influential is Suede. Their ambiguous shock anthem of 'Animal Nitrate' was a huge hit and is one of the world's most famous indie songs. This is a band who simply did what they wanted to play and didn't bother with corporate plans, strategies or over thinking the music; indie at it's best! Since then countless bands have been inspired not only by their music but by their whole attitude and they are an integral part of the history of alternative music.

Track of the Week

This weeks track goes Two Door Cinema Club with their new single 'Something Good Can Work'. It's another chirpy feel good song full of their trademark high pitched guitar and catchy riffs. Simply a great song from a great album which will bring a smile to your face and a spring in your step as it plays in your head throughout the day.
