I've Done You Favours That You Don't Even Know - New Music

I love discovering new bands to listen to and obsess over. Let's be fair who doesn't? These are my latest discoveries that have been stuck on repeat.

1. Seven Circle Sunrise

I found Seven Circle Sunrise through Spotify. Regardless of peoples opinion on Spotify and it's effect on the music industry it has become another platform for bands to get their music out there to be discovered by new fans, and it is one that has allowed me to find, listen to and fall in love with a plethora of new bands. With a somewhat unique combination of grungey feels and metaly riffs, Seven Circle Sunrise are a must listen to. The closest comparison I can think of for them would be to Seether, but really they are pretty individual. Their album, "Beauty In Being Alone" was written by Veno Xavier about his troubled upbringing, and the personal emotion can be heard in every lyric. It's hard to pick a favourite from the album, every song has got me hooked. Go find them on Spotify or YouTube or buy the album in iTunes.

2. Memories of a Melody

Another Spotify find, Memories of a Melody (MOAM) are a hard rock/metal combinations that you need to sit up and listen too. They have the potential to make it all the way, and be the next biggest name in rock music. Seriously. They've already played shows headlined by the likes of Guns 'n' Roses (not that they even matter any more in my opinion but that doesn't really matter right now). The intro to song "Break Away" reminds me a lot of the intro to Bullet for my Valentines hit "Tears Don't Fall," before going off to be it's own song. One that has become a fast favourite song. It speaks out to everyone who's gone through a break up, lost friends over situations, "I won't be the one to break, won't be the one to save you, From all of your mistakes and so I break away." Go find them on Spotify or buy the album. You will not regret it.

3. Falling With Style

Falling With Style isn't that recent of a discovery of mine, but every time I listen to them it feels like the first time all over again. The name caught my eye on Twitter and I decided to check them out. For anyone who has been living under a rock for the last 20 years "falling with style" is the famous line uttered by Woody to Buzz in the Disney film "Toy Story" But aside from the epic name, Falling With Style are a band not to be missed. "Hold Your Hope" is an addictive track that I could literally spend the whole day listening to on repeat. This something I have actually done. The five track EP, "This Hell You Call Home," is brilliant from to start to finish, and I am eagerly waiting the release of "Lost and Found" at the end of this month. If the two songs already released on their YouTube channel are anything to go by then it'll be a huge one. Falling With Style are touring the UK right, and although I am gutted I can't make the Dundee gig tomorrow I am sure it'll be one worth not missing.

Hanging Over From Another Good Time - Papa Roach @ Barrowlands, Glasgow


Words literally can not describe how amazing Papa Roach were on Saturday night. The set list was brilliant, the crowd was decent and the atmosphere was just something else. I may be biased seen as how I am pretty obsessed with the band but fuck me, it was just something else.

The whole night was just incredible, from the opening of "Face Everything and Rise", to the encore featuring "Last Resort", "Scars" and "...To Be Loved." And since I feel like if I keep attempting to use actual words it will just end up being a repeat of "Papa Roach are amazing," and "they are so beautiful," or "I am in love with Jacoby Shaddix," I will stop talking and just post some pictures, some I took at the gig (I am a shit photographer and these pictures show this) and some from Papa Roach's social media.

How beautiful is he....


I feel like it is blatantly obvious which photo's I took and which ones are from social media. But how beautiful is the whole band? It is obvious from their live performances and from the content on their social media they are so grateful and appreciative of their fans. And the Scottish flag Jacoby was carrying about and the Celtic football top (which may have pissed off some people) shows just how much love they have.

So thanks for one of the best nights of my life, can't wait for the next time!
