Concert Round Up.

Basically I suck at blogging. 

I've been slacking a bit on recent gigs I've been to, so I figured I would one big round up. 

Let's go!

Tonight Alive, Our Last Night & Milk Teeth 

23/2/16 

I saw TA a year ago and I had an amazing time. They put on a fantastic show and you could tell they loved what they were doing. This time was... different.
I've barely enjoyed their new album and they played a lot of new songs this time around. I know they're really proud of the new music, however the album and their show in Portsmouth lacked for me. I wish I could tell you exactly what it is, but I can't.
Our Last Night and Milk Teeth were both amazing though.   

Derren Brown 

27/2/16 

My best friend Katie loves Derren Brown. I've watched a couple of tv programs he's been on, but know very little about him. However, when Katie suggested going to his tour, I figured, why not?!
I've never been to any magic/ illusionist show before so I thought it would be fun. And it was. There were parts that I didn't find entertaining, but the majority of it was very well done. Mr Brown is a very intelligent man.

LIGHTS & Pixel Fix

14/3/16  

I've been a fan of Lights for maybe 9 or 10 years now. But this was the first time seeing her live. The woman is unreal.                                       Pixel Fix were surporting, and they were really good. I highly recommend you listen to their music.
Anyway, back to Lights. She is incredible. There was this insane energy radiating of her. From the moment she stepped on stage till, well, I don't know really, I'm still feeling it and it's been a good month. Her music puts me in a good mood. Two girls got engaged on stage during her set and it was so beautiful, even Lights was crying.                If you're considering going to one of Lights' shows, do it. You will not be disappointed. The fact that I'm still feeling her energy over a month later should tell you all you need to know.

            

Sunset Sons & Louis Berry

4/4/16 

My brother and his friend saw Sunset Sons at a festival last year and loved them. So they got tickets to their show in Brighton a couple of weeks ago. My brother said I should go because I'd really love them. I listened to one song and booked my ticket.
Louis Berry was supporting. A cheeky lad from the depths of Liverpool. He was really good. He had a Jake Bugg kind of vibe about him but without the cockiness.
Sunset Sons have that fantastic surfer-rock-good-vibes-only feel to their music, and I'm sucker for that sort of music. So naturally I feel in love with them. Their album will be getting a lot of plays this summer.

          

Neck Deep, Creeper & WSTR

16/4/16

I won't discuss the supports too much on this one. I got to the venue towards the end of WSTR's set so I can't comment on them, and Creeper I didn't really enjoy. They were from Southampton and a lot of people knew/liked them so maybe it was just me.
Neck Deep though. Oh, Neck Deep. I have a lot of love these guys. If you want to read more about my love for them go here. But these lads have always put on an incredible show.
I was having a bad day and almost didn't go, but they cheered me up completely. They've never failed to do that so far.

Much Love.

Ones To Watch 2015 | Part 2

Original Picture

I discovered Bea through her youtube page at the beginning of 2014. If you live in America, you may know her through The X Factor USA, where she came ninth. Or you may know her if you saw Demi Lovato on her North American tour last year.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how she hasn't blown up already. She's only 15 but her voice is incredibly unique and there's a lot of energy in her songs.

Plus, her style is A+

Personal Favourites: "Rich Kids", "Young Blood", "Say My Name/ Cry Me A River" (cover)

For Fans Of: Echosmith, R5 & 5 Seconds Of Summer.

Original Picture

I literally listened to Milk Teeth for all of 30 seconds and I was hooked.

These Bristol-lers (Bristol-lers?? Is that a word?!) have created a blend of swirling, sweet vocals mixed with Cobain-style guitars, therefore, forming a grunge fuelled scuzz-punk vibe. I am completely in love.

Already, they have toured with the likes of Moose Blood, Jaws and Balance and Composure.

Milk Teeth's EP Sad Sack is released end of this month, then 2015 will see them tour a ton more.

These guys have a bright future ahead of them and I'm so excited to watch it unfold.

Personal Favourites: "Vitamins", "Grease", "Forty Six", "Swear Jar" and "Linda"

For Fans Of: Nirvana, Pixies, Title Fight, Seahaven, Hole.

I saw Candy hearts about two months ago on the Pop Punks Not Dead Tour and I was intrigued to hear more from them. 

New Found Glory has raved about these guys, as has Hayley from Paramore -and there's no way those greats can be wrong. 

Mariel Loveland's words are ridiculously relatable and the music is so unbelievably catchy there's no way you won't find yourself dancing and singing along. One listen to their album and you'll feel a massive rush of infectious joy and smiles. 

They have a kind of retro pop-punk vibe to their sound, almost as if they should have been on 90's soundtrack, but that's kind of refreshing with todays music.

Personal Favourites: "I Miss You", "All The Ways You Let Me Down", "Tongue Tied"

For Fans Of: Paramore, New Found Glory, The Swellers, Mixtapes

I hope you all enjoyed my little "Ones to watch" for this year!
I hope you all have a great 2015!

Much love.
