'Trickster' Radiohead
A track of their EP My Iron Lung it's one of their slightly rockier songs which is lead by their high pitched guitar and Yorke's distinctive yet slightly muffled voice. With inventive and layered riffs this song has some of my favourite guitar ever. A genius song from a genius band.
'Twenty Twenty Surgery' Taking Back Sunday
Another atypical rock song with a slightly too repetitive beat, improved with some unexpected twists, it's nevertheless still a good song. You'll find yourself quickly singing along to the self involved lyrics and vocal style of Adam Lazzara which sounds like he is singing call and response with himself. An energetic and immersing song.
'E.S.T.' White Lies
Off their first album this song opens with very Joy Division like drums and ominous tones then creates a juxtaposed feel with the rhythmic bass. Full of cheery lyrics like "I leave my memoirs on the floor of my fears" and "fate always loses hope" it's an emotive song with a distinctly eighties vibe.
'Crying Lightening' Arctic Monkeys
The first single of their revolutionary third album where they seemed to completely reinvent themselves from the no nonsense Sheffield boys into the more serious indie band and this song reflects that shift from the more obscure lyrics to the fuzzy sounding guitar.
'Pretty Handsome Awkward' The Used
This is a fairly unknown American rock band which also happens to be my best friends all time favourite band which is how I got into them. This song is an anthem; it's catchy and interesting to listen to. It's a beast of a song from a very beastly looking man. A real rock song.
