The FIRST TDT since my hiatus because of exams.
Love you all if you are still reading this. Sorry about the break.
First up! Sleeper Agent's first hit, Get It Daddy. This girl has a great voice. She brings the band's sound together and, shocker, Alex Kandel, at the age of 18, has been in the band since she was 16. Getting started young doesn't hurt, and neither does having a hit like "Get It Daddy". The song was uploaded to the band's VEVO account on 9/27/2011.
Second Song! Grouplove's Tongue Tied. Tongue Tied, the follow up to the hit tune Colours, is, in my humble opinion, a better song than the first. It went onto the band's YouTube account 7/25/2011. The song is catchy and quirky, an awesome combination. I think it shows more complexity than their first hit, and they will be remembered more so for it.
Third Tune. Turn Off This Song and Go Outside, The Lonely Forest. This song is over a year old. I apologize. However it is awesome and just starting to show up now. Showing up just this last weekend on one of my favorite Alternative Rock stations, AltNation, as 16, this song is pretty cool. I think it sends a good message, but that message almost made it hard for me to listen to the whole song! ....it kept asking me to stop listening....
Fourth number. The Joy Formidable, A Heavy Abacus. The Joy Formidable has a very cool sound. They remind me of what I would describe as natural music. I would describe natural music, or in this case, natural alternative, is from a classic set up band, with standard instruments. I love electronic and dubstep and house, don't get me wrong, but the two are very different. This is natural music. It sounds great.
Fifth and final. I have been waiting to blog about this song for so long. I always seemed to forget about it when I was writing, but now, on the first post after the hiatus, I present one of my favorite songs, and the timing couldn't be better. Although it has been out since 10/7/2011 on the band's old YouTube, it was recently put on their VEVO account, on 12/8/2011, as a music video. Electric Touch, Don't Stop. I love this song. It describes a moment that I would swear occurs at least a thousand times in the average person's life, or at least in my life. If you can't pick up that message, then you must have been listening to a karaoke version that didn't have any words. Seriously. It is a pretty common scenario.
So. That wraps another TDT.
Just remember, I'M BACK!
