Fake Club

Hi,

Sorry its been so long I've just been crazy busy as it was exam season but that's over now and hopefully I'll have a lot more time for posting.

I'll be introducing you to probably my favorite band at the moment. They are a five-piece, all female, English rock band. They recently featured in an MJ Delaney film Powder Room (which is great and worth a watch). The band appeared in the film, performing music they'd written, including some songs created specifically for the film. The band were also responsible for the selection of all other tracks used in the film.

You can listen: on soundcloud-HERE, on spotify- HERE or on YouTube- HERE



They have a beautiful raw rock sound emphasized by the crazy crashing noisy drums that would sound amazing live and give a rounded shape to the music they play. But the heavy jumpy bass and jerky electric guitar add sharp rough edges that stick out with a grace and feminine confidence in themselves similar to Kate Nash. They convey a huge sense of confidence and assertiveness that comes across so strong it makes you want to shout out of a window along to the lyrics! The vocalist has an amazing tone that I've not heard anything like before, its raw and punchy. The raspy, throaty sounds are grungey and scuzzy with roughed up edges that fit perfectly with the grungey punk rock they play. The tone really makes this band unique and gives them their stamp. Their amazing lyrics also stand them apart from the rest and give them the originality that makes them what they are. They spit out inspirational, wonderful lyrics 10 a penny. 

These girls are just incredible!

The Tuts

Hi,

Just a short post today about "The tuts"! You can listen to them HERE!! More music HERE!

Background Info:
The Tuts are a 3-piece punk, ska and indie band from Hayes, London. They have a song featured on Kate Nash's Christmas EP. 



These girls have a rock sound as well as a slightly poppy. They are extremely talented and unique, although have a similar sound to Kate Nash. Their electric, bass heavy beats are fab and added with the gentle, soothing voices of the girls makes a great and whole band! I'm surprised they're not bigger than they are!!

Those who seek

Hi,

So today's post will be about  band called Those who seek. These guys have one EP out called "Because really, we're just animals". You can have a listen to it on their bandcamp site HERE!




The band's EP has all ranges of genres including a punk-rock track "Look to the skies". I don't usually like this type of bass heavy confused drum beat music, but these guys are an exception. I really like their track "Run from me" which you really don't expect after hearing their first track. This a slower song with mellow opening verses showing the vocal talent and multi-genre writing ability of the band. It progresses into a captivating chorus and some amazing guitar work. The track "sex won't fill your heart" is full of crashing symbols that sound like waves breaking. This song is more indie-rock which is great, probably my favourite. Their last song "Veritas Occulta" is more rock again, still extremely heavy. This song has a fast tempo and building guitar chords with drums crashing all the way through. The song includes fast pace beats and a destructive bassline which are surprisingly catchy!

I love these guys and it would be great if you could check out their facebook page: HERE
