Absolute Choons

Wahey! So this is the first real post on the blog and to kick it off the first band I’m featuring is one that many have been told to watch out for as they could become big. The band is White Lies. They’ve only got 2 songs on their MySpazz and one/two more floating around the interwebs from what I can see but they can already create an epic tune or two. I’ve been listening to them for a month or two and Death is one of my favourite songs of the year so far.
They spawned from the remains of Fear of Flying when they split and are already attracting a fair bit of attention. They’ve received mainstream radio play on Radio 1 and are about to embark on the NME New Noise Tour with Crystal Castles, Friendly Fires and Team Waterpolo. They really offer a fresh sound from all the ‘indie’-crap in the charts and the only comparison I can think of right now is early The Killers. These lads (and lady :o)produce British music to be proud of. Give ‘em a listen.


White Lies - Death




Next up is probably my favourite band of the moment. For some reason Elle Milano seem to rock my socks off. They’re pure artrocky goodness with a boatload of energetic tunes that you can’t help but dance around with your arms flailing to and just for good measure they do slower songs just as well. Their album Acres of Dead Space Cadets is pretty much one of the only albums I’ve ever bought (on pre-order at the moment) and the band I most want to see live. To compare them to any big, well known bands would be foolish because they don’t really sound like anyone I can think of, well no one decent anyway. Their songs are heavily cynical and offer views on the heavily clichéd pop-culture and shallow consumerist attitudes of the modern age (Yeah that sounded intelligent but it was really just reworded from Last.Fm).

The song provided is the album opener and the Doesn’t really matter if the money runs out... chorus section just sticks in your mind for hours. So sit back and put this bad boy on repeat until it’s time for bed.
