KeyWest

Credit to one of the members of The Boy In The Attic for pointing me in the direction of this band. They are like an Irish version of Boyce Avenue, their voices are like an angels but then again most people with an Irish accent have a voice to die for.

'Stuck On Replay' is my favourite by them, I hope they come to the north east of England sometime soon too. Someone seriously has to tell me if they do come over here!

I can't really explain why you should check these out, their music kind of speaks for itself.

Frankie Cocozza Live

I went to see Frankie on Saturday and I must say it was the most violent, dangerous and most awesome gig I have ever been to! I so wish I could go back.

I've already done a post on Frankie before so I'm not really going to go too much into him, you'll just have to stop being lazy and go and read it.

Someone please just take me back to Saturday! I met up with some pretty awesome coconuts at the gig which was amazing, they are so lovely! Some of them went out the back to try and meet him but I had to go home so they got me a really cute video of him saying he loves me and that, go and follow them on Twitter (@rockmelouis_1D @zoelouise_x and @rebeccad123).

His new music video for Embrace is out tomorrow, which was 'fucking mental' at the gig. By the way I'm a huge coconut, follow my fan account @Cocozza_Love. 

The Coopers

So in my last post I mentioned how I saw Frankie Cocozza live at the weekend, well one of the support acts were called The Coopers and are really the only support band worth mentioning from that night.

They are quite a hippy band and damn god are amazing! The band before them were quite boring and honestly I didn't really like them, the vocals were quite off and I just didn't enjoy them but The Coopers were the complete opposite, they really entertained us, were amazing and really got the crow going.

Anyway they are a lovely band so just give them a little support and check out a song or two of theirs or my goldfish will bite you, yeah he can do that, I think its a he anyway, how do you even tell a goldfishes gender, I mean they don't have willies!

Shattervox

I could only really listen to one of their songs and it was seriously bad quality because of my broadband connection is worse than the Scouse brow but it really brought back memories of being down my grandparents and my granddad dusting of one of them vinyl records that went out of date ten years before my birth. Everyone used to groan and moan when he would bring them out but me and him used to dance about for ages to them, I still don't know who the artists were but we are all really short and hate attics so they won't ever be seen again.

Anyway, back to this band. I just get a vintage feel of their music, like they would belong in my granddad's vinyl collection. I had my granddad to listen to these yesterday and he's already downloaded all their music and has got me to keep an eye out for their next album which is due in 2014 and if they come over to the UK. I will keep trying steal my granddad's mp3 player so I can actually listen to them as I can't download the album with my broadband.

Here is a link to their Band Camp page which has a free debut album download available  so why not go and download it? Great band, free music, what more do you want? A walrus? If you check them out I'll lend you mine.

The Boy In The Attic

I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much recently but I've just had a lot going on recently, I've finally gotten a social life! But it lives and dies with my beautiful horse that I have on half loan. 

As treat and an apology I have an interview with The Boy In The Attic, it'll also be the first ever interview on here. 

Now this isn't normally the type of music I listen too but I think I need to start listening to it more often because these are out of this world! I can't really explain it, I just really like their music and I they should have a lot more eyes on them than they have at the moment. 

How old were you guys when you first got into music? 
We were all young, pre teenage years I suppose.

How did you get into music? 
We all have music in our families and were in lots of bands during our teens. 

How did you guys meet?
Our singer Danny and guitarist Paul had been in a band together before and Danny used to sound engineer for our drummer Sean's old band, our bassist Phil also had played on a band with Paul too.

Who came up with the name and idea to put together a band? 
Our singer Danny started the band and came up with the name!

What band/artist inspire you the most? 
Bands like Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam and Coheed and Cambria have been a massive influence on us.

First 5 songs on shuffle? 

The Beach Boys - God only knows, Incubus - Pistola, John 5 - To Die For, Killswitch Engage - Breathe life, MarK Lanegan - Out of Nowhere.

What do you think about goldfish? 
What do goldfish think about me?

Llama or miniature donkey?
Why can't the llamas and miniature donkeys get along? 

Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc? 
Monsters Ink, Sully rules!

Have you got anything you'd like to say to your fans? 
Is there anybody out there???
If so say hello on facebook.com/theboyintheattic or @boyintheattic on twitter.

Do you all forgive me then? Don't forget to check them out and comment below what you guys think. 

I've also created a Facebook page for the blog so go and give it some love, or just like it, either would do.

Black Veil Brides

I've only just started getting into this band like last month but I really like most of their music, if not, all. I was originally expecting them to be like death-core because of their look but I guess I should never judge a book by their cover, or name.

First thing I would probably ask them if I were every lucky enough to meet them is tips on make up. Seriously, they wear more than me! But that's not exactly hard at the moment, I'm all out and I've got no money to buy any, I'm actually going to the farm today with a little mascara and eye-liner on but not much, I have to save it all for Frankie Cocozza next week.

Andy Biersack's voice, lead singer, is just so amazing, its like an eargasm. He also sometimes gets called Andy Sixx, just to clear up some confusion anyone might have.

So be kind to your ears and make them listen to BVB and for those who have never heard of the before and are now in to them, get me some tickets for the next time they come to Newcastle. Still can't believe I missed them a few weeks ago.

Sky Burns Red

What would you say if I said rock meets orchestra  Crazy right, that it wouldn't work, well Sky Burns Red have clearly proved us wrong. They are so unique and are just geniuses!

I really, really like this band and I've got to keep an eye out on them, they so deserve to be big and our space on our album racks deserve to be filled with their album. By the way check out their ep on SoundCloud, the link will be at the end of the post.

I'm sorry I don't really know that much about the band, I only heard their music today but I do know that if they ever come to Sunderland or Durham I am so nagging my mother into buying me tickets.

Anyway check them out, comment what you think below and remember tell friends/followers/shoes/curtains about them but don't tell drains, I don't think they like them. Their Twitter is @SkyBurnsRedBand.

Original Rude Boys

I saw these guys last night, they were the warm up act for The Script on their UK tour and damn do they know how to warm up a crowd!

They're a mix of acoustic and hip hop. There are three members: Sean Arkins, Robert Burch and Sean Walsh. They come from Dublin, Ireland, which makes them like 10000% more attractive! I think Walsh already knows we're going to get married, he kept coming over to the side me and my friend were on and kept looking our way.

I can't really explain enough how great they were so just check them out yourself and since when have I ever been wrong about how good a band are? Exactly, most the time but I have to be right sometimes so this is probably one. Their studio work doesn't give the live gigs any justice though so if you ever see them live then I suggest you do.

Oh, one more thing. The Script were fucking (or fecking which is what me and my friend are saying from now on thanks to Glenn) awesome last night! Comment below if you're going/been to see The Script.

Comment below what you think of the Original Rude Boys and if you've heard of them before or seen them live. Check their music out and tell your neighbor/neighbor's dog/local drunken goldfish/your door.
