Frog

World News

After making World News’s album In Purgatory the site’s highligted album, no wait, album of the year, even, realized had not chosen a song from the album.

So here’s mine, Frog.

It’s got everything ‘World News’ going for it, that guitar work, changes of mode, the whole works.

Also happens to to be the first song on the album.

It’s great song.

Hollywood Movie

Robinson and The Romantics

A pop song, sort of, or maybe we can call indie pop - ha, new genre!

Robinson and The Romantics, is Anna Robinson a New Zealand singer-songwriter from Nelson, which is top of the North Island.

This is a cool pop song, and love how it takes off after 2.40, reinforcing this into a really great song.

Cut Up

The Dead Bolts

This is their first release since the excellent 'Skint' in February this year, which has the equally excellent whacky video.

This is by no means they same sort of song, so initially I was puzzled.

Shouldn't have been.

Listen to the song, then watch the well produced video that goes with it.

Back Into the Fire

Silent Running

These guys have been around for like, forever. Only as usual, I have not come across this Belfast, Northern Ireland band before: check out their Wikipedia.

We have now extended the Ai agent 'scraper, to include YouTube (don't ask, it was hard work), which is running on a daily, rather than weekly basis. And these guys came through from YouTube (link below).

One my third or forth listen, and not knowing they were from Belfast or anything about their history, I was like, wait is some mix of late 90's rock, US rock and what rock is this?

This one grows on you, and it's a great rock song.

Enjoy!

Is It That Deep?

Cat Burns

Time to listen to something different.

Cat Burns, even if designated as 'UK Pop' on Spotify, is a singer with much more than that: soul-pop, with contemporary soul/R&B colouring and an indie-pop, more like.

When this one breaks out it's gets deep.

Via the YouTube discovery agent, again!

Cool song, and great video.
