Hi all.
I just thought Id advocate for the brilliant new album the Sky Blue Trust have put together. I haven't heard all the songs or all the bands but the ones I have heard are absolutely awesome (especially my band :guitar2
. Here's a track list and I'll try to write a bit about the bands I've heard on there!!
The Kontours are a great young band with a lot of potential. If memory serves me well, they are quite raw with a really good post-rock vibe.
Russian Gun Dogs well that's my band so I'm a little bias but we were recently described in a review as "Joy Division with the Joy" which I took as a compliment. Big choruses and catchy verses. We are dark-wave indie and like to write anthems!!
Symphony State are amazing. Fact. Amongst the best songwriters around. With Rig they've got one of the cleverest guy behing keys and a laptop I've ever seen. Really melodic too!!
The Fallows Folky folky pop songs with an awesome drummer. Think Mumford and Sons with less Irish and more bollocks!!
Kristy Gallagher If you haven't heard of her... where have you been? Amazing songwriter, amazing voice.
Johnny Concrete This fella and his ace band are the most original thing to have come out of Coventry in years. This really is the sound of the city. Fusing distinctly english hip hop with indie rock and a distinctly Coventrian sense of humour.
Lipshock The guitarist is mad for the City. This is catchy rock at its sleaziest. One for those whose hair can't remember life without hairspray
6 Out Of 10 Really good indie pop - maybe for fans of Travis?
Voodoo Kings - Cov Punk royalty from the boys who were there in the 80's. The Voodoo Kings are real Rockabilly with a stand up bass and a stand up contribution to this comp.
Only Shadows Really innovative song writing. A band with much promise. They really are an exciting bunch of lads
The Broken Rebels are top notch lad rock. Each member of this band is an awesome musician. The drummer is amazing and the singer has more charisma than Charisma Carpenter... the only band on this comp to come with a warning label. They're just mental!!
All in all, this idea makes perfect sense. I've gotten around the country a bit and in pop-culture we're famous for two things - Football and Music. Buy this compilation as you will be supporting both by doing so. Well done to all involved and well done to Coventry for being able to produce a 25 track CD and still have the luxery to be able to produce a second equally as high quality and diverse with 25 different acts.
