My latest in new music obsession comes courtesy of the Max McElligott led Wolf Gang. The British symphonic rock band released their debut album Suego Faults over the summer and have already toured with Florence + The Machine and Miike Snow as well as opened for The Killers this past summer. Give a listen to “The King and All of His Men” and you’ll most likely have this on your fall/winter playlist.
Hands down one of the best marching band performances I have seen. Love that the Ohio University Marching Band performed their rendition of LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” at halftime of the recent football game. Genius and entertaining!
Here it is my latest musical fascination, Kassidy. This Scottish folk rock band has been tabbed across the pond by some media outlets as “Britain’s Kings of Leon” and fall into line with the rabid folk obsession of Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes and the likes but they have their own distinct sound and that to me is refreshing. Their debut album Hope St. dropped earlier this year and I don’t think it will take too much longer for this quartet to wind up here in the states.
Been digging these guys from Asheville, NC since I stumbled upon their music last month. Give a listen and if you like, pick up the new album Miles of Skyline.
Check it out, the trailer for Cameron Crowe’s Pearl Jam Twenty documentary. More words and details from Paste Magazine HERE.
Less than a month until O.A.R. releases King and August 2 can’t come soon enough. Here’s another track off the upcoming album, “Taking On The World Today” which has now become my latest music obsession. I also listened to the live version the band played at the Dave Matthews Band Caravan a couple weeks ago in Atlantic City and yeah, WINNER!
Another band from across the pond that has grabbed my attention is To Kill A King. There is not much to go off of right now but the folk-rock quintuplet from London do have a single out, “Fictional State.” Give a listen.
