Findlay - Electric Bones YTV

10/02/15 YouTube Video

What a return from Findlay! They haven't released any new music in a little while but this track will cure that issue. It is a slightly different sound than the Findlay I am used to but it is a change that I am 100% behind. They have kept the rock background of old, and added electro tinged pop over the top. It makes for a fresh and relatively unique sound in the sea of same old pop music. I look forward to hearing more. Enjoy!

The Go! Team - The Vaccines YTV Double Hitter

20/01/15 YouTube Video

It seems like the music industry is playing catch up from the lull over the festive period. This Monday there has been an influx of great new albums that I have been listening to and many great singles that have been released. Both of these bands have been away for a little while, one slightly longer than the other but both very much welcomed back.

The Go! Team are a band that I have loved for over a decade now with Thunder, Lightning, Strike being one of my first musical purchases. I haven't heard their last album Rolling Blackouts due to my clearly narrow new music feed but I am looking forward to their next one if this track is anything to go by.

What a pleasure it is to hear these boys back in my ear drums. With all this talk of guitar bands fading away this track is what we need to hear. Fun, catchy and right up my street. Keep up the good work Vaccines. Enjoy!

Jukebox The Ghost - Great Unknown

This is this weeks SoundCloud Song. Jukebox the Ghost are a band from the US who have been around for about 8 years and have released roughly 3 albums of their own work. This is the first track I have heard of them, with the Yep Roc Music Group reposting a couple of their unmastered tracks on their SoundCloud page. This track in particular is very much in the pop genre of things and it sounds like it could very easily slot in to the BBC Radio 2 playlist. Its got a catchy chorus and it is easily sing along-able. It sort of has a feeling of recent Killers tracks in terms of big pop anthems that just happen to include guitars.

I like it and am now going to check out more of their stuff on Spotify. If you like it or don't, let me know in the comment section below. I would be interested in what you think. Thanks.

I'm coming in with a heavy hitting pop genre post this week, and a double hitter of tracks. Yea that's right two tracks one post. You get more for your money here.

First pick is the latest single from LP, fresh off of the press as of today I believe. If you have liked her previous tracks like In To The Wild etc. it definitely has the same flavour of those tracks in terms of cheery/hooky summer time beats and she knows how to work in a whistle/hum solo into the song for even more sugary sweetness that gets embedded into your head. She is not breaking boundaries with this track but she doesn't have to in my opinion, a good track is a good track regardless.


My next choice is way more of a cheesy pop/rappish track. They have sampled Jackie Wilson's Higher and Higher which is the main reason I like this track. I have been hoping for someone to bring this track to a new audience that has possibly not heard it yet and if this is the way they hear it then so be it. Maybe they will explore further. In terms of the verse vocals I feel it has a slight Chiddy Bang style to it and B.O.B. doesn't do anything too crazy in his part but he never blows me out of the water in terms of skill. On the other hand he knows how to make a good pop single so I can see why they brought him on the track.

If you like either of these tracks or hate them, I would like to know your opinion if you want to leave a comment below that would be cool. :)
