This arrived in the post for me today. Oh my goodness there’s so much riff. Thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing them at Slam Dunk too. Expect great things.
The Used are back with a new album. I got it on pre-order and I have to say I’m enjoying it quite a lot. I’ve been playing it on shuffle with their first three albums and the songs hold their own well enough.
I Come Alive is the first single from Vulnerable and I’m not sure what The Used were thinking with this video for two reasons. Firstly, the video contains some pretty grotesque images of children assaulting each other. I know that it’s clearly paint being thrown around, but it’s still pretty brutal.
The other thing I don’t get is that they’ve got this video full of children getting a beating, for a song that sounds very triumphant. Bit strange, but maybe that was the aim. Liking the song a lot, video is a bit, well, have a look.
There’s something hugely endearing about a band who clearly do not take themselves too seriously, while playing some pretty serious music. Looking forward to the new record in a big way.
Going to see The Chariot tonight in Sheffield. I expect this will be short, loud and anything but sweet.
And I won’t be listening, because I bought the vinyl on pre-order. Come on German post. Bring me my goodies.
Hurry up and release the damn record.
Bad things, good news.
So I locked myself out of my flat the other day, which was a massive fail. Fortunately my lovely girlfriend came to the rescue, with the only demands being that I pay for her train ticket, some ice cream and a pizza. All very fair terms. On top of this I bought her a CD as a little present for saving me in a big way. I got her this:
Fortunately for me she’s lovely and let me rip a copy onto my computer. Really enjoying this short burst of hardcore or post punk or whatever the hell it is. It’s on Spotify (on which I can no longer to listen to this because I’ve played as much as possible) and well worth a listen.
Also, Comeback Kid have a new video out. The video is nothing special, but the song is nice and stompy. Again, worth a listen.
I can’t embed videos into my posts apparently, so a link it is. Video is here.
Picked This Up for Just £5 Yesterday.
And I’m pretty pleased about it. Nothing quite as good as Quenie, but still, very enjoyable.
Also quite pleased about the news that Turner is trying to form a band with a heavier edge.
I presume being a folk singer was an elaborate ploy. Million Dead were swamped by a wave of flippy haired emos and perished. Obviously Frank knew that he could recreate himself with an acoustic styling, do three records and then reach his real goal of having a successful rock act under his belt.
Maybe?
