How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

My friend has just introduced me to their new release, “Pompeii”, and I’m pretty much hooked. It’s catchy, up-beat, but with an ever so slight maudlin tinge to the lyrics. What more could we possibly want?
You can find out more about Bastille and purchase the new album on the bands website.
Rum or whiskey?
Posted: January 29, 2013 Filed under: Music 1 Comment »I’ve always been a bit of a fan of English indie rock band Noisettes, composed of singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa and guitarist Dan Smith, and I’ve recently become obsessed with “Never Forget You”, one of their first tracks. If you haven’t heard it before or it’s been a long time since you last listened to it, I highly recommend that you have a listen!
You can view some new material from Noisettes on their official website.

This brilliant track from I Blame Coco, ‘Selfmachine’, is a favourite of mine, especially for evening listening. Being the first track I ever listened to from I Blame Coco, I have a feeling that it will always be one of my favourites, if not my all-time favourite. At least, I hope it will. I’m hooked!

There’s no doubt that it’s still as great as it ever was!

At first I wasn’t sure about her seemingly unique approach to music but after listening to a few tracks over and over again, I really came to like her and, in particular, “Oblivion”, one of her most popular tracks.

She’s grown and developed as an artist over the course of the past year or two and, in doing so, she’s gone a little crazy cool, and I think it’s bloody brilliant!
