Artist of the day : Crystal Fighters.

    
       Ladies and Gents, today I would like to recommend you the music of this great band -  Crystal Fighters. I'm sure you will become a fan of their music. Are you ready?

Crystal Fighters are an electronic folk band from London [UK], formed in 2007.
Their debut album "Star of Love" was released on 2010, and the second album, "Cave Rave",  was released on 2013.
They have eleven singles and music videos.

More info about the band you can find on their official page, FB Page, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud.



 Why I chose Crystal Fighters as the artist of the day?
      Probably you are thinking now "no way, this is just the next folk / alternative band, so what is new this time?". And I think you're wrong. They are not like the others. They are better. They are so damn good.
   They have something what makes them so perfect - huge talent and great music. You know - Young Blood.
   Music by Crystal Fighters? It's a great mix of alternative dance, synthpop, folk and folktronica. As for me their songs are a great piece of music. When you are listening to Crystal Fighters, believe me or not, in their music is something what gives you a piece of good and real music, full of emotions, words. With soul. Everything what you need if you want to feel freedom.
     Sometimes you have such a feeling that the music sounds the same. But not this time. This time you have a chance to get to know something new, fresh, nice. Just something good. Every of their song is something so damn good from beginning to end and with every next song you want more and more. You know, it's something in their music that you want to listen to it all the time and that's just amazing, in my opinion.
     Every song on their albums is unique with excellent lyrics and perfect sounds. Yes, their albums are epic. Also I think that there's something between vocals, lyrics, music and the band who made it. Magnetism. For sure. Why? Simple answer - because when you're listen to any song by them, you have something like 'wooow!' in your mind.
     I think that everyone will find something good in their music. Why? Because all of their songs are a great piece of good music full of great beats. I'm sure that if you like this kind of music, alternative dance / folk or synthpop, you will find your own world in their music - simple, isn't it?
    Why I know it? Why I'm sure that you will love it? Think, what's better than mix of perfect synthpop, electronic folk and alternative dance sounds, all these super things of the band which I already wrote and your feeling when the song ends and you must play it again because you want more and more? Here's your answer.
      I can say one thing - they're so damn good! 

     As for me, their music is something really awesome, something what you can listen all day long because it gives you pure energy. And joy. Yes, in my opinion music by Crystal Fighters is a real music, something fresh and unique.

     Now, I'm waiting for more music by Crystal Fighters, because as for me they're just excellent. Also I wish all the best to them and of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed for their future, because they are very talented and I know that they will surprise us yet.

    Now it's your turn. I think you should check it to judge, is it for you or not, but I'm sure that if you love, or only like, a rock music, you will like Crystal Fighters - there is no other way.


And remember, if you like any of these songs [or maybe even all of them], show them some love and share their music with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about this great music and about Crystal Fighters.

      Ready or not, here we go!

     Why I chose Blue Lining as today's artist of the day? I always have a problem to find the best words to say all these reasons why I chose somebody or some music. This time is the same.
   I've a few good reasons. For sure because of their music. You know, there's something in their songs that you want to listen to it all the time. Every of their song is a piece of great music - something new, something fresh, epic, nice.
    Probably you are thinking now "ok, but this is the next indie / rock band, so what is new this time?". Maybe you are right, maybe this is only a band with the next indie rock songs. But you know what? They are so damn good. They have something what makes them so perfect - huge talent and great music. Young blood. And that's the best. And that's why I chose them. That's why I chose Blue Lining today.
    Sometimes you have such a feeling that the music sounds the same. But not this time. This time, as I wrote earlier, we have a chance to get to know something new, fresh, nice. Just something good.
   Every of their song, no matter is it their own song or cover, is something so damn good from beginning to end and with every next song you want more and more.
   Simple - their music is just really good. It's just a good piece of blues, rock, indie. When you are listening to Blue Lining in their music is something what gives you a piece of good and real music, full of emotions, words. With soul. Everything what you need if you want to feel freedom.
   I don't know why and how, but all I know is that no matter what they're singing or playing, they're doing it always perfect and every sound, every track is just a mix of everything the best.

    As for me, their music is just awesome. And that's why I can't wait for more music by them.
They're really talented and I'm sure they'll be huge musician soon, so better remember name of this band - Blue Lining.

    When you are listening to Michael, there's something what gives you a piece of good and real music, full of emotions, words and amazing sounds, and that's really cool.     
    In my opinion this kind of music is one of the best, because you can get to know the artist and his talent. And he has it - huge talent.

Song of the day : "Home" by Darren Campbell.

     Guess what... Today is the day of the premiere of new song - "Home" by remarkable Darren Campbell. Who is excited as I to hear something new recorded by him?

Darren Campbell is a young and talented singer and songwriter from Dundee [Scotland], who is singing his own songs and also covers of other musicians. He released one EP "Days To Come" [September 2012] and a few singles f.e.: "Find My Way" [January 2012], "Growing Apart" [February 2013], "Remember You" [July 2013]. His music is a mix of pop, indie, folk and acoustic.
You can read more about Darren and also his misuc on his pages: Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter, Bandcamp, iTunes, Soundcloud, Spotify.


Also you can find more about Darren and his music in my previous post here. 

*

At first, I just have to say it: 

 Darren - you did it again, you made another great song. Great job! Thank you for it.

     
     Ok, maybe that's crazy or maybe not, but when he already has a new song, I knew it will be something good, before I listen to it. Why? Because I know that Darren makes only perfect music. And after the first seconds I knew that this is it. This is just brilliant. Again.

     I could say "I feel summertime in the air" and I think it would be a truth because when you listen to "Home" you feel all these nice emotions and you feel...freedom. Yes, I think it's a good description of this song. But of course, maybe for some of you think, that I'm talking something wrong. I'm sure that if you will listen to this song, "Home", you will exactly know about what I'm talking now.

     You know, something good is in this song, that every sound makes you happy somehow and you just want to play it again and again and again. And that's really great.

     "Home" is a great mix of pop, folk and of course a bit of acoustic, what makes an amazing atmosphere. Music and also lyrics are just excellent, as always of course. We can find here nice music with power inside, music what makes that you want to sing, to dance, to feel this positive energy.
   
    
     In my opinion there is nothing bad, wrong or something like that. As for me this song is just perfect. Perfect, if you want to listen to pure and real music.
     Try it. Just click "play" and feel it. I'm sure that you will be smiling and you will be feeling better and that "Home" will make your day [or even a week or the month] happier. Trust me.
So, are you ready?




  
     If you like this song, show him some love and share this song with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about this awesome song and of course about Darren.

 

   
     Anyway, I can't wait for more music by him. I know that it will be the same great (or even better) and unique.

To Kill A King in Warsaw.

One show - two great bands. November 19 2013 was one of the best day (or better - evening) this year because of Bastille and their support - To Kill A King.

Ralph, Josh, Ben, Grant, Josh - great guys from To Kill A King gave an awesome show in Warsaw, before main concert.Yes, it was something really cool.

Hand up, who knows these nice Gents.
I knew them earlier and I love their music, so, as for me, it was something beautiful to see them live, especially that they were a support of Bastille, the second great band, but about them I will write later.

Ok, a few words about this band. To Kill A King is a British folk / rock band from London [UK]. Members: Ralph Pelleymounter [vocals/acoustic guitar], Josh Platman [bass], Josh Taffel [drums], Grant McNeil [electric guitar] and finally Ben Jackson [synth and keys]. They released two EPs: My Crooked Saint [2011] and Word Of Mouth [2012] and one album Cannibals With Cutlery [2013].
You can find more info about band on their official page, official FB, twitter, YouTube.

As I told you earlier, in Warsaw they were only a support of Bastille [you can read a few words about it here: X], but I think they gave so much of great energy and great music that all people who came there were happy. Be honest, I was really happy and enjoyed every second of their show.

This show in Warsaw it was their first performance in Poland, and to be honest, I hope that not the last and they will come back soon.


They played from 8PM to 8:40PM. I know, a bit short, but damn, it was something really great.

Howling
We Used to Protest/Gamble

As for me they were one of the best supports which I saw. And can't wait to see them again. Who knows, maybe they will back to Poland soon...hope so :)

Anyway, on their twitter/s they wrote how amazing time they had during they show in Warsaw [from X and X] :

The Shrugs - Crossroads EP

Hey Ladies and Gents,
I've a question to you - do you remember my post about The Shrugs and their great album Crossroads [x]?
I'm sure that yes, because they're unique, just like their music.

And guess who has their album? Me! I got it today and I'm so happy because of it. Why? Because I know this is one of the best albums last weeks/months.

6 great tracks with awesome music and vocals and lyrics - trust me, this album is remarkable!
If you want to have your own copy of Crossroads, go to their page [*] and write to them. I'm sure they'll be happy if somebody from you will want their album.

more info about it, how to buy it, you can find on their page:

'Crossroads' IS NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON CD!

We will be selling copies for £2 at live gigs from now on (starting off with the Westport Bar in Dundee on Friday night!). Otherwise, we will send copies of the CD to anyone who wishes to purchase it!

The price will be £3 or £4 for those who would like a copy sent to them. Some people have said that they feel £3 is too low a price but, considering it's our first CD, we feel it is unfair to put a set higher price on it. If interested, please send us a private message (either on this page or on either Ollie or Jamie's Facebook pages). You can also send an e-mail to theshrugs@hotmail.com

We have exciting plans for the next few months, and the songwriting for our 2nd CD is already in its beginning stages! Thanks for the support.

Album of the day : The Shrugs - Crossroads EP

Today I've something new and cool. I would like to present and to recommend you album Crossroads EP by great, but unfortunately not too famous yet, band The Shrugs from Dundee, Scotland.
Ladies and Gents, make some noise for The Shrugs!

↑ cover of Crossroads EP

Why Crossroads EP? Because their music is a great mix of acoustic, folk, pop rock and... rap, what's really cool. Songs made by The Shrugs are unique and so good - excellent music + brilliant lyrics. Yes, this album is full of perfect sounds and also shows us their huge talent. That's the reason why I chose it as an album of the day.

Crossroads EP is a compilation of six songs created by Ollie Wale [lead vocals] and Jamie Harris [guitar / keys, backing vocals] - The Shrugs. These two guys are writing own songs, proving that you don't need many people or other 'important' things to create great music.

What you can find on Crossroads EP? I should say 'only the best music' and it would be a pure truth. In my opinion this album is really, really good and I just love it! Also can't wait for more new songs created by talented Ollie and Jamie from The Shrugs. Trust me - you must listen to these songs from Crossroads EP because this is really good music, and you won't regret, big promise. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them and their future.

Ladies and Gents - enjoy a real and good music :)
