Johnny Foreigner - If You Can't Be Honest, Be Awesome YTV

Recently pop punk seems to be coming back into my audio life, what with the massive Blink album and killer tracks like this one from Johnny Foreigner. Dual vocals that blend together beautifully with simple, strong guitars and drums to back them up. Bands like these guys do a great job keeping the classic punk rock vibes alive and accessible and that is no mean feat (not enough can be said about it in my book). JF have been with us for over a decade now, let's hope for another decade more. Enjoy! 

JAWS - Be Slowly YTV

23/12/14 YouTube Video

Last Saturday I went to a gig in Birmingham with The Enemy and The Twang co headlining. It was a brilliant show despite the fact that one prize fool let off smoke bombs and caused the show to stop temporarily.  The Enemy killed their performance as they did last time I saw them in Coventry and they included a couple of great covers from The Verve and James. The Twang were equally brilliant and even though I didn't know much of their material I still had a good time. Anyway, JAWS were support for these bands and after listening to their latest album I was a fan so I was even more elated that they didn't disappoint live. They had that same great vocal sound and really worked well all together, no one instrument was overpowering and they all complimented each other nicely. This track below is off their latest album. Enjoy!

The Preatures - Better Than It Ever Could Be YTV

02/12/14 YouTube Video

As the year is coming to an end later on this month I thought I would pick a killer track from earlier this year (Feb if I'm not mistaken). It took me a while to find out information about this song, I heard snippets of it here and there on the radio etc and never managed to catch the song title or band name, I just knew the song was brilliant. This was until I heard it on an Intro With La SoundCloud podcast which is a great source for new music btw. Anyway The Preatures are a rock and roll band from Sydney Australia with lead singer Isabella who can produce some fantastic vocals. I have heard that the album is as awesome as this track but I will just have to wait and see. Enjoy!

Southern - Where I Want To Be SCS

SoundCloud Song

This is the latest from artist Southern which is to be released on the 18th of August. This song really carries on with the same style of music that they have produced so far which is no bad thing. I think when the inevitable album gets released, it will sound like a perfect package of blues, acoustic/rootsy slide guitar and boy-girl vocals which this track will fit nicely into. If you a fan of Jake Bugg in terms of lyrics and the story telling aspect of songs this one is definitely worth a listen. Beautiful song!

YouTube Video Of The Week! 27/08/13

After coming back from Reading Festival yesterday I feel its only right for my choice to be a song from the weekend and I have chosen Frank Turner who performed on the Friday. He was one of my favourite artists of the day and even performing with great energy despite his back problems really made the slightly miserable weather seem not so bad. Thank you Frank for bringing everyone together :)
