Stop killing music&twitter.

Until you people stop watching ridiculously crap televised karaoke competitions, ive decided i control your ears. You listen to what i say or you deserve to die. Its the only way your learn. Just look what you've done to my best friend!

the main reason for me being bothered with this blog (apart from adding another eidtion to my kill the xfactor campaign) was really to rant on about dinosour pile up, there awesome sound and to concor with Joes comments on the return of grunge/guitar rock indie. Ive personally been so hung up on electro spunk for the last year that ive been overlooking alot of great bands that are bringing back such a great sound. Pile-up where just the reincarnation of my love for booming live drums and massive guitars. So heres my veiw on who to look out for and to make an effort to go out and see.

Dinosaur Pile Up

The one thing i find whenever i check out guitar bands is that there studio recordings never really do there songs or live performances any justice. This is defiantly applicable in the case of pile up. The day after i saw them they were starting a tour with the pixies, which is a fucking big deal (and is also why i think Joe like them). Lets hope that does things for them.

Pulled Apart by Horses

I was lucky enough to engineer these guys at work back in june and they are what i fucking love about hard screaming rock. I enjoyed mixing them so much, there energy was amazing and despite a disappointing crowd of what 30, they still tore the fucking house down. There currently on tour with Biffy Cyrolo. Theres one for the CV

First heard these guys when i used to work at urban outfitters on a moshi moshi compilation (a label that is housing a tone of great acts might i add) and fell in love instantly. There so unique at what they do and there personality on-stage and the rapport they have with there audience, for me is as important as there music. There the one guitar band ive been keeping track of for the last year and loved everything they've done. Theres literally a million members of this band and for the life of me when i first listened to there record i couldnt work out why but once you've seen there live your understand! There first proper realease 'Black Wax' was slightly disappointing and the fact that was there (or there labels) idea of a good single to really portray there sound really confuses me. I could think of a better songs from there debut 'hey everyone' to greet the mainstream world with, but the 2nd single 'Pink sabath' is outstanding. So ill let them off. Coincidentally Dinosaur pile up are supporting them on there fall headline tour. I reckon it could be the best gig i see this year ( Apart from maybe Passion Pit, but that remains to be seen).

The only thing that pisses me of about underground successful bands like these is i cant find enough fucking recorded material of them to put on my ipod. When i like a band i want atleast a 4track E.P to take around with me and i know they have the material, its just not available for download. BALLS. This is someone of a beginners guide, ive got so many more im adoring right now. Bear Hands, Wavves but you've already heard me bone over those guys already.

I do feel i have to mention my favorite electro artist at the moment, who i would literally donate a liver to spoon. Ellie Goulding. Not only is this girl ridiculously hot & on tour with little boots (shes ticking boxes all round), but her songs are beautiful. Im hoping we dont see this electro gem sell out.
