Artist of the day : Brick + Mortar.

     Today I would like to recommend you the music of a great duo Brick + Mortar. I'm pretty sure that you will like them because their music is really awesome. Ready to rock with Brick + Mortar? Ladies and Gents, here we go!


Brick + Mortar is an indie rock / indie pop duo from Asbury Park, NJ [USA] formed by Brandon Asraf [guitar / bass / vocals / samples] and John Tacon [drums / vocals / samples] in 2010. They have two EPs: "7 Years in the Mystic Room EP" [2010] and "Bangs EP" [2013]. Amongst their inspiration we can find, f.e.: Dinosaur Pile Up, Anthony Green, Circa Survive, Good Old War, Manchester Orchestra, Kongos, Vacationer, mewithoutyou, Cage the Elephant, Walk The Moon, Bad Suns.
You can find more info about the band on their official page, official FB, Twitter, SoundCloud, iTunes, YouTube, Instagram, Bandcamp.

  
   Brick + Mortar...who? Why?
       Probably you are thinking now "this is just the next indie pop rock band, so what is new this time?" and maybe you are right. Maybe this is only a duo with the next indie pop rock songs but their songs aren't the same as the other. They are better. This is not the only reason why I chose them as the artist of the day. To be honest I have two good reasons why them.
      First of all: music because music is always the most important thing. Every song by them is a great mix of perfect and awesome things like rhythms and lyrics, and when you listen to their songs you want to say "that's cool" or "woow!". Simple, isn't it? Fresh sounds and cool lyrics - that's why you want to listen more and more music made by them. Ladies and Gents, this is Brick + Mortar.
      Another reason why are genres of their music. I think that all of us are sick because the same "radio songs" with pop, pop/rock or alternative rock sounds. Sometimes it's too much of it. And that's why songs by Brick + Mortar are so damn good - because they are something fresh and unique nowadays. Hell yeah!
     I can say only one thing: damn! Why? Because their music can change your mood, your day. I'm pretty sure that these songs will be the best thing to listen to every day, not only this Summer or this year. Always.
     Be honest, can't wait for new & cool music by them, 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.
    And better remember name of this duo: Brick + Mortar.

  Now it's your turn. Go and listen to all these awesome songs and say, is it for you or not.

      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 Brick + Mortar.

     As you know me, I like to write about little-known artists and music. And the same is today, that's why I'm here now and I'm writing all these words, because I want to recommend you another excellent little-known band, yet, and I'm sure you will like them and their music.
   That's crazy but I met them some time ago via Instagram and I think I should say now - Instagram, thank you :)

     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.
    Now, I'm waiting for more music by them, 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.

Music of the day : "Thieves" by Bad Cardigan.

  
      Ladies and Gents, today I would like to recommend you a great song "Thieves" by Bad Cardigan. And I'm pretty sure you will like it the same (or even more) as I. Ready to listen to something really cool? Hope so.

Bad Cardigan is an acoustic duo from Lancashire [UK] and formed in September 2011 by Jack Anwyl and Tom Randall. Jack and Tom are writing own songs, and also both sing and play guitar. Their music mix of acoustic and indie, with nice and harmonious music and excellent lyrics. Amongst their inspiration we can find, f.e.: The Arctic Monkeys, City & Colour, John Frusciante, The Kinks, The Doors, Bon Iver, Alex Turner.
More info about them you can find on their official page,  official FB, Twitter, YouTube, tumblr, reverbnation, SoundCloud.

Also you can find more posts about them here.

     At first, I have to say one thing: Jack Anwyl. Tom Randall. Bad Cardigan - remember these names. Names of two talented guys from UK and the name of their band, because they will give us the real music and who knows, maybe they will change the music. But I'm sure that it you'll hear about them soon, and not only once.

     I'm always, really always, curious about their new songs and the same was this time. When I saw their post with news about the new song I knew I have to check it as soon as possible and you know what - I was and still I am in shock. But positive shock of course.

    Why these two guys have to be such a perfect and do so damn good music? I really don't know. But I know one thing -  I love their music. The same is with "Thieves".

    "Thieves" is a song where you can everything what's the best - power, great sounds, super lyrics, perfect voices and mix of fast and even slow music [but only for a moment]. Everything of these things make this song so great and the next perfect track by them.
In my opinion, this song is for everyone and that's really great. You can listen to this song when you're sad or happy, by day or at night - it's really not important because every time when you put play and you hear these sounds you want more and more.

   Be honest, I'm waiting for more cool music by these two talented guys.

   So, Ladies and Gents, this is it, "Thieves" by one and only Bad Cardigan. And remember, if you like this song, show them some love and share this song with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about this great song and of course about Jack, Tom and of course about Bad Cardigan.

    Also if you will want you can catch them during their tour in August and listen to their great music. I'm sure it'll be a great time. Trust me, it is worthwhile. More info about their shows:

Later was only better and better, but not only on this EP but also on "Demos" and finally on "Let It Go". His newest EP "Let It Go" [4 tracks] shows that he's really talented, and I'm sure you will like in the same as the first one.

Music of the day : Holly Drummond

Today I would like to recommend you music by talented and amazing, young singer Holly Drummond. I'm sure you will like, or even love, her music.
Trust me, you should remember this name very well because I'm sure she will be very famous and such a great singer very, very soon.

Holly Drummond is a young singer and songwriter from Edinburgh [Scotland], who is singing her own songs and also covers of other musicians. She released two albums and four EPs. (f.e. "New Beginnings"[2012], "Cloud Nine EP" [2012] and "In the Dark EP" [2013]). Her music is a mix of pop, indie and acoustic and I think that this is really awesome. In my opinion of course.

In her inspiration we can find, f.e.: Ben Howard, Passenger, Paramore, Dido, Regina Spektor, The Pretty Reckless, KT Tunstall, A Fine Frenzy, William Fitzsimmons, Imogen Heap - so if you like one of them, you can be sure you will like Holly Drummond.

 



As for me Holly has a dreamlike voice, wonderful lyrics, great music - so she has everything, that whole mix of the best at the music. And maybe that's why you just can't stop listening to her music, her songs her voice. The same is with all these cover of other musicians - they're just awesome.

You can read more about Holly and also her misuc on her pages: official page, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter, Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify.

















Also on her official page you can read a few great reviews from newspapers:

“Holly Drummond shows a maturity well beyond her years.”

- Gordon Johnson, Glasswerk

“Beautifully constructed soundscapes setting the scene for her well woven lyrics.”

- Suzanne Neilson, She's So Dope

“Beautiful songs which grow out of the darkness until they shine bright as any stars.”

- Edinburgh Spotlight

“The Edinburgh native has an unexpectedly mature voice that is smooth on the ears, and a beautiful songwriting approach. Musically, the arrangement and instrumentation are spot on and only made more impressive after finding out that she recorded, played, sung and wrote every song on the EP. Her voice compliments the acoustic guitar, piano and cello tracks perfectly and whether you like acoustic music or not, it is evident on first listen that this girl is talented. She takes inspiration from Regina Spektor, and this is clear in her singing style... but to me she sounds like a female Damien Rice.”

- Music Review Unsigned

 

“A bona fide internet success... Holly’s songs are melancholic and maturely-observed vignettes of life: tales of broken hearts and broken promises, yet shot through with an inner strength expressed through her accomplished songwriting.”

- Edinburgh Spotlight

You can download her last EP, "In the Dark" from f.e. iTunes and bandcamp.

 a few words from Holly about her "In the Dark EP"

*

Trust me, it was really hard to choose the best songs from long list on her YouTube page, because every song has something wonderful - music, lyrics, voice. The same is with covers. So I did the best and I chose 12 songs by Holly (with two official music videos) and 3 covers, but you can fine more better covers on her YouTube page.

And that's why I wish her all the best and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her and foe her musical career. And of course I'm waiting for more news from Holly to share with you.
