It's about that time for another Music Review

As always, i'll be bringing you some of my favourites that I truely believe are going to make it uber big here on our side of the pond (some day).

1. The Script - BreakEven & The Man Who Can't Be Moved
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2omyqxbsKw
A lovely debut from dear old Dublin.
it's nice to find a band and a singer who are actually pretty great at writing songs with clear and fluid story lines. That actually takes talent, believe it or not. I'm pretty sure that anyone, even if you're a heartless bitch, will love BreakEven after the second listen. It's raw and catchy and truthful.
And, so, even though The Man Who Can't Be Moved http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW6F_g3upKA is a little too emotionally sappy for my tastes, it's still really really sweet.
The Script reminds me of the boy band version of Keane (which i suppose is a bad example because Keane is a boy band, but whatever.) It's also immensly cute when you can hear Danny O'Donaghue's Irish accent shine through his melodies. Plus, anyone who looks like a mixture of Orlando Bloom and Doogie Howser (suprisingly) makes a lovely lead singer.

2. The Cribs - Bovine Public
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkeUKl8Imjk
Isn't it a blast when artists get mad at other artists then write songs about it? this catchy little drama fest is The Cribs attack on fellow UK indie artists Pidgeon Detectives, and basically all the other sellouts in this world, but it's fun and i like it. the end.

3. Razorlight - Wire to Wire
http://www.razorlight.co.uk/
So, i couldn't decide after realising this song was about cheesy all encompassing love if that took away from the creeptastic drama of Johnny Borrell's voice and the nice integration of background vocals and slow rhythmic music. Then, i thought, well why not, this is way different than anything that's out right now. Basically if you go to their website you get great clear quality video that takes up the whole page while your browse through it. yay!
And obviously, I love my Sweds and with blokes named Björn Ågren, well, yeah.
P.S. Johnny is supposedly dating Emma Watson right now, see? if she likes their music... SO can you!

4. Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire & Use Somebody
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHhhcKxflMY
Ok, so these dudes aren't from the UK, but i think i may be a little obsessed, (thanks to my bandmate Klug). Hailing from Tennessee, the three brothers Followill and grand baby cousin Followill make up this sexy-rasp-of-a-who-knows-who's-mama-gave-them-soul cluster of genius. I can't even begin to tell you how i think the band's frontman, Caleb Followill makes the noises he does, but it's entirely saucy and alluring.
Use Somebody is one i am completely in love with at the moment, its bluesy to the core and i love the high notes, boy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCZfJ5ai07U I've always been a sucker for songs that get epic at the chorus. yum.
if you love scruffy boys who have brothers, and/or you just appreciate the dirty oil sounds of southern inspired rock, this band is fo you.

5. Republic Tigers - Buildings and Mountains
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6VuCl-flto
Basically if you put Pink Floyd in a blender and maybe added some cotten candy, there you go, BAHWAZZZ you get Republic Tigers.
Some easy listening without the unforgetableness that usually comes with more chill tunes.

6. (Just cos I don't want to seem sexist) Rachel Stevens - Some Girls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXl-_pdRrII
Cos who doesn't love songs about whores! yay! whores!
It's kinda fun to make fun of while also kinda maybe simeltaneously actually possibly liking the pure cheestasticness of Miss Stevens attempt of being a solo singer. :)

7. James Morrison - You Make It Real
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU1Yau9K9YQ
Probably one of my favourites for all time cos James Morrison is musical sex. seriously, listening to him will result in the birth of children, if you don't like that, tough.
He's one of the real talents out there, vocally that is, unfortunately it's only every so often that lyric and vocal talent combine to make real magic. This is probablly his best, along with You Give Me Something.
love him, forever.

8. The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23PkA3G6NL8
oooooh, these are like baby Beatles, visually anyway. Cool kids, Alex Turner of the Artic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals have teamed up to make some fun 60's ish beats that would go perfect in a really mod black and white photography art show.
