Nirvana

Just for you guys, another song of my all time favourite band.
This time it is Heart shaped box.

Enjoy!

Ipod shuffle

Ok, so I decided to do something fun for this post. I went to the songs on my ipod and pressed shuffle. The first three songs that came up will be discussed in this post :D So the first song that came up was:
Kate Nash - i just love you more
(sorry for the crappy video, i couldn't find a better one..)

This song comes from Kate Nash' album My Best Friend Is You. At first i didn't really like Kate Nash, because I thought her music was too soft and too poppy. This album, or at least this song, is totally different! I love this song. The instrumental part of this song is really good, it keeps building up til the end. And her voice in this song is great. She does not really sing, but screams/talks which i like. It is different and i like different.

The second song that came up was:

Rage against the machine - war within a breath

I know this band because of my father, a few years he told me to listen to rage against the machine and i immediately liked them. War within a breath is a song from their album The Battle Of Los Angeles. Rage against the machine is a band that mixes hiphop with rock, which results in hard and loud music that sounds really cool. The singer is a really energetic person and i just love his voice. Tom Morello is their guitar player and he has a character on Guitar Hero 3 ;D (he is really really good). I can't say more than that i just absolutely like this song.

The third song that came up was:

Destine - sinking sand

Hmmm, i don't know why destine is still on my ipod, because i hate them. Not too long ago I liked them, but a few months ago destine started annoying the crap out of me. I don't like them anymore. Also, their music is to poppy/commercial in my opinion. I should remove their songs from my ipod..

White lies new album

Last week,  white lies released their new album, rituals. I listened to it today, and I have to say I am not too fond of it. I had very high expectations, because their last album was a-ma-zing! But this album.. I don't know, it just doesn't speak to me as much as the last album. Of course it is very hard to make two perfect albums in a row.
There are only two songs that i like, the rest of the songs are just ok in my opinion. Still, I like the white lies, but I believe their album could have been better.
Maybe the next album?

Here is one of the songs i do like, Bigger Than Us.

Volbeat

I never thought i would say this, but i actually like a volbeat song.

MGMT

One of my favourite bands at the moment, MGMT.

Foo Fighters Teaser

3 january was the date foo fighter was officially finished with recording their new album. To show what the album will be like, they released a teaser. 

It is not much, but you can say that they are playing some heavy shit. If the whole album is going to be like this, I am going to like it!

Shaking Godspeed

I don't think many of you know who Shaking Godspeed are, so here a small introduction. Shaking Godspeed is a Dutch Rock 'n Roll band, from the Achterhoek.

Why do I post this? Well, I was watching a television programme yesterday, called the Nederpopshow. It's a music quiz programme, but what I found interesting was the competition between 7 artists of very different genres. Each week, one artist could perform. At the end, there was one winner. The winner got a very special prize, namely a performance at Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary. Sziget is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe.
Guess who the winner is? Yeah that's right, Shaking Godspeed. Personally, I think Rock 'N Roll music is very cool, and the stage presence of this band is great, so I hope they give a great show at Sziget!
Definitely a band to watch out for!

Kasabian

Kasabian is busy with writing stuff for their new album. I am really into kasabian, so I am looking forward to hear something new from them.
But lately I was listening to the radio and I heard that Kasabian had said they were inspired by Radiohead for the  new album. I am a big fan of Radiohead too, so this was a pleasant surprise. As far as I know they haven't released a song yet, I will let you guys know as soon as I come across one!

Nirvana

I want to use this post to blog about one of my favourite bands of all time, Nirvana. A few years ago, I heard smells like teen spirit. I really loved it and not knowing what song it was and who sang it I asked my dad. He walked up to a drawer, opened it, took a cd out of it and gave the cd to me. I looked at it, amazed. It was black with nirvana written on it in silver. He told me that smells like teen spirit was the song I liked.

I ran up stairs and put the cd in my radio. Of course the first song i listed to was smells like teen spirit, but after that I started listening the other songs. I was in love with Nirvana. It was one of my first favourite bands, even today it is one of my favourite bands. 

They are so inspiring, they didn't make music for money. They are very innovative. And they were able to carry out a message. Even though Kurt Cobain is not here anymore, he is still one of my biggest heroes. He will always be one of my biggest heroes, together with Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl.

One night only

One night only is a british band, mainly playing indie rock. One night only consists out of five members, George Craig, Jack Sails, Mark Hayton, Daniel Parkin and Sam Ford. In 2008 they released their debut album, Started a fire. Last year, they released their second self-titled album.

This is one of the songs of the second album, say you don't want it. I must say I really like this song. It's very catchy, just like all the other songs on the album. I am very positive about it!

Ronnie Radke/Falling in reverse

This is ronnie radke, former escape the fate singer. He got kicked out of escape the fate in 2008 and went to jail the same year. Escape the fate got a new singer, Craig Mabbitt. I preferred them with Ronnie, i love his lyrics and his voice better. 

But anyway, Ronnie got out of jail in december 2010 and has formed a new band. Falling in reverse. Consisting out of Derek, Jacky, Nasty and Ronnie. They don't have a drummer yet, but as soon as they have one, I'll let you guys know. Ronnie has a lot of lyrics that he wrote while he was in jail, so we have a lot to look forward to!

I hope they are going to kick some ass! 

Mumford and sons

I wanted to blog something about a band that i saw live last year, Mumford and Sons. They performed at lowlands, which is a musicfestival in the Netherlands. They were so great! I was so amazed by how great they were live.
In my opinion, they are one of the best musicians of this time. They don't make music for money and fame, they make music because that is what they want to do. You may not like their style, but you can't deny that they are real musicians. They have a message and they are able to pass that on to the listeners.

The Wombats

First, a general introduction:
the wombats is a british postpunkband, consisting out of three members. Matthew Murphy, Dan Haggis and Tord Øverland-Knudsen. They mainly play indie, punk, pop and new wave music.
Lately, they had a huge hit with the single Tokyo (vampires & wolves), of their not yet released album.

But they released a new single, called jump into the fog. I think it's a really good song, it's different from what they've done before and it's catchy. I am looking forward to the new album!

I am going to see them on the 27th of april. Can't wait!

my first post

yay my very first post!
everything i am going to post will have to do with music, alternative music.
so, follow and enjoy!
