AR: Lower Than Atlantis - Far Q

There is no need to write a real review for this album.
The reason for this is because it is amazing.
I can not fault it one bit.
Some of their lyrics are genius and as an album it's different to a lot of similar stuff genres because their songs aren't about love and boring soppy stuff. I love their views on everything they sing about in this album.
The fact that I enjoy it so much surprised me as they are really not the sort of band I usually listen to but I've analysed their sound to that akin of Gallows but more melodic and with more depth.

I can't possibly pick a best track because they are all so good.
Nor can I pick a worst track because I do not dislike any of them.
Rating: 5/5

GR: There For Tomorrow & The Friday Night Boys

This is the first gig I've ever been to by myself and despite how extremely awkward I probably looked the whole night the situation was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

However I did miss the start of All Forgotten's set because it took so long to get in to Underworld which was mildly annoying. Their set was flawless. This is the third time I've seen them and they've been brilliant every time. It was also thanks to guitarist Steve that I got on the guestlist so my ticket only cost £5. Nice one. I unfortunately can't quite say the same for the other bands on the lineup.

I spent most of They Sink Ship's set sitting down. I didn't mean to be disrespectful I just couldn't be arsed to get up. To me, they have nothing to offer as a band than any other band that sound similar to them. Evidently they've got some catchy bits going on in a few of their songs but other than that, they aren't really worth the effort. They thought they were amazing though, I like a bit of self belief.

"This song's about the day I lost my virginity". Well that's hard to believe. I suggest that if you ever feel the urge to see The Friday Night Boys, rethink and see All Time Low instead. They're pretty much the same band but All Time Low are about a million times better. The thirteen year olds appear to love FNB but I'm not really too sure why. They're mediocre pop punk was just too samey for me.

I must admit from the outset that by this point I was tired and dare I say pretty bored so I took it upon myself to leave part way through There For Tomorrow which I partly regret but I mean I'm not that bothered. They were alright from what I saw of them, nothing special, just alright. I don't really have much more to say to be honest.

Gig rating: 1.5
[Full marks for All Forgotten and then just a 0.25 for the other three bands combined for trying. See the top right of the page for a guide to my gig ratings.]

Got Some Tunes [April]

The Diana Vickers video is disabled from embedding. I was unable to find the re-worked version of The Big Pink so I have not included the song on this playlist. To view the entire playlist on my channel click here.

Darwin Deez: Radar detector
It's catchy. I'm not so sure about his other stuff but this one, it's catchy.

Lostprophets: For he's a jolly good felon
Compared to the rest of "the betrayed" this is the track on the album that sounds the most like songs from "Liberation Transmission". It's pretty good, definitely the most mainstream song they've released from this album so far.

Diana Vickers: Once
I have no idea what appeals to one about Vickers' dreadfully annoying voice and I can't really remember what I liked so much about her when she was on X Factor but I guess this song isn't bad.

Deftones: Diamond eyes
DEFTONES ARE BACK =) I think that the title track from the forthcoming album is a lot better than current single "Rocket Skates" but that may just be my selective taste in Deftones tunes.

Proceed: Visual field
I don't think Proceed will ever make a bad song. I am however disappointed that they only use one vocalist now, I liked the screaming...

Yashin: Get loose!
Not just another emo/screamo/fringe/black hair/lame band. Don't ask me what makes them different but there is definitely something about them. They deserve to be big.

Jayz feat. Swizz Beatz: On to the next one
I actually really like this but the use of the sample absolutely does my head in. From the first time I heard this, the song just does not make sense because the real line that the sample comes from is "under the spotlight" and I find that when I know it actually says "under the" I can not make it sound in my head like it says "on to the". Other than that, it's a pretty good sample.

Bullet For My Valentine: The last fight
Bullet are back, thank God. They've definitely left the glitch that was 'Scream Aim Fire' behind and returned their sound to 'The Poison' era. This is a strong debut single from the new album 'Fever' and is pretty much just textbook Bullet.

Futues: The boy who cried wolf
Risen from the ashes of Tonight Is Goodbye, Futures gave away their debut EP with the March issue of Rock Sound magazine. This is definitely the stand out track from the CD. CHECK IT.

The Big Pink: Tonight
Taking 'Dominos' into account The Big Pink can sure as hell right an anthem and 'Tonight' is doubtlessly enough to rival the success they had with their first single. The duo are releasing a reworked version of the song that in my opinion sounds a lot better than the original album version.

Rusko: Hold on
As far as I am aware this is a very different sound from typical Rusko tunes. He's taken a more mainstream route with this song including some female vocals and not as much of the darker dubstep sounds that he often uses. Definitely one to check out.
