Music Monday 64.

Four Year Strong - Stuck In The Middle



I think it's fair to say that FYS are one of my favourite bands to see live. Not only do they sound good, there is a such a good energy to their gigs. Everyone is there to have a bit of a mosh and a jump and nobody is there to punch anyone in the head. Having exhausted their previous records, it's good to hear something new. It's not classic FYS, it's almost got a bit of a 90s punk-rock vibe to it, and I like it. It's still got some big, classic, Four Year Strong drops to it.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs — Garden



I've been aware of the oddly named Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs for a while now, but yet to really give them a decent listen. This track Garden really caught my attention this week, and I'm glad it did. The lazy, electro, indie vibe is really infectious and it's time that I listened to my mates and get some more TEED on my iTunes.

Gemini - Graduation



Just a great piece of music here to sit back to and appreciate. The different layers weave inside out and over each other, always keeping the tempo high. A good piece of dance music here.

Professor Green - At Your Inconvenience



You often forgot that when rappers go big and make it in the charts, you often forget their rap. Pro Green, along with Tinie Tempah, are guilty of this. Despite the catchy tune, Professor Green goes back to what he does best, rapping, no Lily Allen, just clever observations and wordplay.

Music Monday 1.

I know I've upload new songs I've found in the past, but I'm going to try and make it a little more regular. Seeing as there is a Monday at the beginning of every week, I might as well do it then.

Wild Beasts - Hooting and Howling



I likes the sound of new music and I likes the sound of Wild Beasts. They're a strange mixture and can only be described as Editors featuring Mika. Yeah I know. But they're good trust me on this one. This is an excellent song and the album "Two Dancers" is also very good. Looking forward to seeing them at Sixty Million in Bournemouth


Frightened Rabbit - The Modern Leaper



I appreciate that Frightened Rabbit aren't the newest band in town, but they're not exactly U2 yet (thank God). The album "The Midnight Organ Fight" has a great tempo to it that doesn't let up, letting you listen to the album straight the way through with ease. It could be argued that the songs are a bit "samey" but not always a bad thing. I like it anyways.


Professor Green - I Need You Tonight



Something a little different, variety is the herb of life and all that... Professor Green is just being introduced to Radio 1 and is surely about to hit the mainstream hard. I'm a bit of a sucker for old school tunes samples in rap and hip-hop, this is exactly what Professor Green does. Green has taken the INXS classic and intelligently uses it as he does what he does best over the top. Excellent, excellent tune (sorry it's not the greatest version of the song, I've been hunting around for it for days). Also check out his tune with Lady NY, Don't Let Go and also what he's done with Adele's Hometown Glory.
