Bands!

Hey Everyone! 

That time of the week again where I write my blog post!

At the moment things are really quiet in regards to my preps for Warped Tour. There's roughly 70ish days now until I go, which is still a little over 2 months which to me, feels like FOREVER right now because i'm so excited! But because it's so long away, and i'm getting a little stuck each week now to come up with some ideas about what to write about! 

What i'm going to be doing for the next few weeks is, i'm going to be going through the Warped Tour band list, and listening to anyone i've never heard before, and I will be writing a short little bit about the new people I find and hopefully this will open you up to checking out some of the new ones I find on the list (because unless you're Kevin, I bet you haven't listened to EVERY single band on the tour...) So hopefully you might find a new artist or band that you yourself might like and if you're going to Warped then you will hopefully go check out their set (if they're playing in your city!) 

So here we go then! 

This week I have checked out 3 new bands/artists. I'll post a pic, post the link to the song I checked out, and a little bio which I have done a little bit of research for! 

1. Wind in Sails.

Evan Pharmakis used to be in a band called Vanna (also on Warped tour!), he is a lovely acousticy rock dude! From what I can see on interviews and stuff, when he left his old band, this was a MASSIVE shock to everyone, however this guy has an incredible voice, and he seems like he is doing just fine on his own! Check out his music if you like softer things, and his lyrics are so powerful, you may just need a box of tissues to mop up the tears... (Just gutted he isn't playing the dates i'm there! But check out the dates he is playing!)

2. The City ShakeUp

So, The City ShakeUp. These lovely guys are Australian! (Enough said already right?!) Who doesn't love Australians! But these are very punk/rockish, such good catchy tunes you can't help but pump your fists too, and nod your head too. From what I can see from my research, these guys haven't been around decades, however they have done amazingly well in the time they have been around, playing with the likes of Billy Talent! These guys self fund everything they do it seems, they self manage and self promoter, by the looks of it, these guys are doing everything right, and it shows that music means the world to them! These are playing the whole of Warped (pretty sure...) So go check them out, I know I will be! 

3. Teenage Bottlerocket

These guys have been around a LONG time now (bout 13 years I think?) Which makes me feel slightly awful that I have never heard of them, however these guys are awesome! They are the kind of band that, even if you have never heard any of their music, never listened to them before, you can pop along to see them with your friends and have a good old dance too, have a laugh, and a really good time. Their music is very energetic, and I can imagine they put on a decent show! Very pop punkish, quite light hearted lyrics, but very fun and catchy. Teenage Bottlerocket are again playing the whole of Warped, so check them out in your city, and go party and have a laugh! 

So I hope you like the idea of this and maybe you'll find a new band or artist you'll fall in love with! If there is any bands you think I might not know of, who you love, leave me a comment and i'll check them out and include them in one of my next blogs! 

Thank you again for reading, it means the whole world you'll never know how much I appreciate your time! 

Love <3
