Something New each Day

Hiya guys, I am actually sticking to Music Friday this week even though I have an essay because something extremely exciting happened yesterday. My babes Beside the Bridge (who I wrote about a few weeks ago) released their second single and video after 2 years called I Hate My Life. Naturally I wanted to write about it being the person I am. The intro of the song automatically made me think of the 1975! Now that is not a bad thing because it really gave me a vibe to start bopping my head. The whole ambiance and lighting of the video is pretty much perfect. Now I wont lie, when I heard the title of the song, I assumed it was going to be one of those tacky pop songs complaining (a bit like Hate Your Guts by McBusted which I love btw.) Luckily I was treated to a beautiful melody with lyrics that are awesome. I love the little niggly things like the stuff we hate combined with those lyrics that indirectly talk about love but not in that soppy way that most artists use. ...

Hiya Guys, So it's Music Friday (I really need to think of a catchier name) and this week's is another concert review and this time for Lawson. I went to see them last night at Sound Control with my mum and, even though I've seen them live 3 time this year, it felt like the first time. I will be honest and say there aren't any photos because I went to enjoy it and listen to the music. The venue was extremely small but I always prefer it that way and it was also nice and spread out. I guess that because the audience is older, there was no over excitement which meant no pushing or chance of injury. I got a nice place near the sound station near the metal barriers (which were great to stand on as I'm basically a midget) and this let me enjoy the show so much more. We were treated to 2 support acts. The first was chosen by the fans and were 3 brothers in a band called Frontiers. I really liked the whole family aspect and they had amazing voices so check the...

Hiya Guys, This post should be for Friday but I cannot wait because another childhood dream has come true again. First McFly and James Bourne and Matt Willis became McBusted. NOW BUSTED IS BACK BY ITSELF. Okay to put my excitement into context, imagine a 6 year old girl rocking out to Thunderbirds are go in her living room with her little sister. Well that was me 12 years ago along with my sister who were some of the youngest busted fans. So imagine those young girls reactions when they found out that this band is coming back with all three members and touring (I did miss those eyebrows). Now, we have to turn a notch on the excitement down as the tour dates are during my exam period and I don't know if I will be able to go BUT to say that this is a huge nostalgic step is an understatement.  For everyone who complained that the McBusted stuff wasn't right for McFly and that McFly needs to come back alone (which I sort of agree because I am a huge McFly fan a...

Hiya guys, Looks like I might actually be managing to stick to doing 'Music Friday' and this week is something I have been wanting to do for a while! (I also have a new twitter dedicated to this blog so follow @mymadworld96 as well as my personal @Full_Time_Nerd). About a year ago, I was doing my usual 'let's spend 5 hours on Youtube' and I stumbled upon a Swedish band called Beside the Bridge who did a cover of 5 Seconds of Summer's English Love Affair . Fast forward 12 months later and they have become one of my favourite band's and, although I wanted to keep them my little secret, I decided that they are too talented to not show to the world (and my small number of readers). Funny thing is that I am watching them as I write this. Beside the Bridge is a Rock Band (Listen to Weigh You Down) from Balsta, Sweden and consists of Charlie Karlgren, Joel Chew, Ludvig Algovik, Niklas Wistrand and Rasmus Blomquist. They are friends before band mat...
