Sorry

Hi guys

Sorry if I seemed absent for the past few days; I have had this awful stomach bug that has basically made me feel very down and tired. Luckily it's going away slowly but surely, I saw my doctor this morning and assured I will be fine. Whilst I have been ill I have come across some new music which I will share with you and I found out today who will be the support acts for when I see Heaven's Basement and Jettblack do their joint headline gig in Southampton, a month today now.....cannot wait. Oh I would also like to say I will be seeing the musical We Will Rock You next week with my sister, which I am looking forward to. I hope to write a post about that.

Take care now

Foo Fighters - Wasting Light

I really love Foo Fighters, they produce some great quality rock tunage; today I decided to give their brand new album Wasting Light a listen. The opening song had me gripped immediately; a lot of the album is very upbeat like a lot of their material is and somewhat sounds different to what they have done before. I like this very muchly and the album gets better and better. For instance I listening to the song Dear Rosemary and love the melody alot; that's another aspect of Foo Fighters I love, they have a grungy sounds and write melodies that suit it perfectly. I am very impressed with this album, definately solid evidence that Foo Fighters still go strong. Excellent work from the guys; very tempted to buy a ticket for their summer concert but I know they'll probably sold out.

Stand out tracks:  Arlandria, Dear Rosemary and Bridge Burning

Hola amigos I have returned from Spain

Greetings I have come home from sunny Spain; I have had a whale of a time over there. I stayed in a lovely seaside town called Calpe which is located in Costa Blanca, it has gourgeous beaches, friendly locals and lots of different shops and restaurants. I am also a keen rock climber; I was on my first climbing holiday abroad, the climbing routes were wicked. My favourite one went up through a hole and you come out the other side, this one was located on the Gandia crag; there are some pictures of that below. Right now I am enjoying some Chip Ahoy! chocolate chip cookies that I have bought from Spain.

The mainstream music scene is a lot more different to the music scene in the UK; a lot of the music videos were a tad cheesy for my taste but in some ways that is a good thing because they stick on your mind. I also met an awesome dude named Ras Hafeez who ran the surfing shop next door to the hostel I stayed in, he also creates music and hope to hear some soon. I will leave with some pictures from my amazing trip.

Happy Mothers Day and Adios

First things first, today it's Mothers Day in the UK today; so this morning I gave my mum a voucher for a head, neck and shoulder massage at my local beauty studio. I have had one before and it is lush, all the things my mum does for the family she definately deserves the day; I also made her breakfast and I am to make a starter for lunch time as part of a three course meal. 

Another thing; I will be away for a week in sunny Spain. I leave tonight and will be back Monday night; so between 4th and 11th April there will be no posts of any kind. I will definately tell you guys all about Spain and take lots of pictures and who knows there will possibly some bands out in Spain too. 

Adios, see you in a week

I will leave you with some music to commemorate Mother's day and going off to Spain

Tricorn

Now Tricorn know how to get a show underway and the crowd pumping; if you are looking for a old school sounding rock band with angry male vocals, slick riffs and a beat that makes you crazy then this is definitely the band for you. The guys are also an incredibly nice bunch too; unfortunately couldn't stay for the whole set or buy a CD since I had to catch the last train home. Hoping they come back to Southampton very soon; I will also order an album from them after my holiday.

Tyranny Falls

I had seen these guys play at The Joiners before but didn't catch the name until Wednesday so it was brilliant to see them again, Since they gave such an energetic performance at The Joiners back in January. Pompey prog rockers Tyranny Falls exceeded expectations at the SU bar. It's brilliant how they combine neck braking guitar riffs with an incredibly talented vocalist; I would also love to mention the drummer having excellent skills and a great taste in hats haha. Hope to see them soon in the near future; a couple of guys at my uni have recorded their EP, which is impressive so look forward to the release.

Feud

I watched some bands at my SU bar on Wednesday evening; since I hadn't heard them all before I decided to write introduction posts for them. First up Buckinghamshire grunge rock band Feud; vocalist Greg Combrinck sounded so much like Theory Of A Deadman's Tyler Connolly and each member of the band provides some quality rock tunage. I also managed to get an EP from them too; expect to see a post about that very soon. Hope they come back to Southampton very soon.
