If you're looking for new music, Waterloo Records is definitely the place to go. I discovered a lot of the bands I listen to today just by going there and checking them all out, such as the Arctic Monkeys (people think they're lame, but I like them a lot), Del Amitri (Roll To Me is a FANTASTIC song), Halestorm, Kate Nash, and more. These are all fantastic people with phenomenal talent. Since I'm typing this at school, I can't really put YouTube links, so I'll just recommend some songs by these bands.
Arctic Monkeys, I recommend checking out Dangerous Animal, that's the song that got me hooked. A great song with excellent guitar and a rocking beat.
Del Amitri, definitely check out Roll To Me, you might have heard it before, and it's short but sweet.
Halestorm is a more explicit band, if you're more into hard rock/almost punk sound, this is good for you. I'd try Here's To Us, Innocence, and Dirty Work.
Kate Nash is GORGEOUS, and you can hear her thick British accent when she sings, which is very unique. I'd recommend Merry Happy, it's upbeat, but very repetitive, be warned.
If you like Del Amitri, get the greatest hits album, Hatful of Rain. Roll to me is a nearly perfect song. No, it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteAlso, keep in mind that parents and teachers might read your blog, so while I know that you personally are anti-hate, we aren't doing anyone any favors by using speech like that even in quotes to illustrate a point. I like that you're expressing your opinion and that it's passionate. The next step is to find your adult voice in your writing.

with all due respect, i was using a direct quote from several people. i'm not going to sugar coat anything, people honestly write them off as "fags" when they've never tried the music before. i'm not trying to offend anyone or anything, i'm just trying to show people how rude some people can be about music when they've never even given it a try before.
ReplyDeletei'm really not trying to sound rude towards you, and i'll try to sound "more adult" from now on.
