Arctic Monkeys

The last of the new vinyl is another UK band Arctic Monkeys. This is there first two LP's. The Arctic Monkeys have been billed as the next Beatles.....but as I am a huge Beatles fan I wouldn't go that far but they are definitely a very fun band. Very upbeat and you cannot beat the British accents that you can actually hear on the albums. Young guys who in my opinion have a lot going on and could probably make a long career out of this. Too bad every time they come to Toronto it sells out in 4 minutes. Maybe next time. The first album is called Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and it is a very upbeat rock album that could be played at any dance club. The second is Your Favourite Worst Nightmare which is equally as good. Something tells me these guys have no trouble writing songs which hopefully means a lot of releases in the future....Until then .........

Bloc Party

Some more editions to my record collection. These two are from the UK group Bloc Party. These two records finish off my Bloc Party collection until they decide to release another album. The first is Silent Alarm which is there first full length release and has three records within it. Great album to say the least. The second is their newest LP A Weekend In the City which is also a very good listen. I would personally describe Bloc Party as electronic beat meets rock n roll of the 21st century. Something tells me if Radiohead never came along these guys wouldn't exist or at least not have the great sound that they have created that is truly their own. I saw them live last summer in Toronto and it is well worth the price to check these guys out, you will be blown away by the vocals and how tight the band is especially the amazing drummer............waiting for them to come back to Canada..............

cheers

New Vinyl: Radiohead

Well it has been a few months since I have posted up here so now it's time to add some new vinyl that I have acquired since the beginning of the summer. You may notice that there is a a bit of a British rock motif going on here but that is only because to me personally the Brit's seem to be doing the most interesting stuff these days, I would love to take in a festival over there to learn of some new bands but since I am an university graduate now without a job I will have to dream instead. The two albums here are Radioheads - The Bends , and OK Computer . In my opinion the bands best two albums even though they are all amazing. I Can't wait until the new album is released I guess in the fall...........Until then............
