Must Have Music: Frank Turner – England Keep My Bones

13 Dec

You ever listen to an artist/band for the first time only to discover they have been around for quite some time, have released a few albums and wonder, “where the hell have I been?”  Well it happened to me last month with Frank Turner and damn, I cannot get enough of his record, England Keep My Bones, his FOURTH album.   I now find myself listening to his previous works to catch myself up to what I’ve been missing but continuously being drawn back to his latest record which was released this past summer.  Turner exudes a singer-songwriter, folk, punk style unlike anything I’ve ever heard.

Say hello to Frank Turner and give a listen to one of best albums of 2011.

New Music: IAMDYNAMITE

5 Dec

While I love to share new music with my friends, I like it even more when a friend introduces me to a new band/artist and man was I lucky this time around.  For the last month I have been infatuated with IAMDYNAMITE, an explosive rock outfit consisting of guitarist Christopher Martin and drummer Chris Phillips.  It is Detroit Rock City with these two Michiganders and their debut album, SUPERMEGAFANTASTIC, is something you need to get on top of yesterday.

New Music: The Black Keys – El Camino

2 Dec

I cannot wait until next Tuesday when The Black Keys drop their seventh studio album, El Camino.  While the first two tracks that surfaced on the internet, “Lonely Boy” and “Run Right Back” are killer, they don’t do the album nearly enough justice (do some searches and you can find all the tracks to stream).  Holy amazing this is a rocking disc.  In my head I hear TBK original sound but also channeling rock legends like the Stones, Peter Frampton and Led Zeppelin.  Just listen to “Little Black Submarines” below and prepare to be blown away (*hint: 2:07 mark it gets loud!). If there is a way to close out 2011 with a bang, this is it as El Camino comes cruising into the spotlight.
