It's late and I'm tired, but I've just discovered an absolutely amazing band called the Polyphonic Spree. They have about a billion people in their band and they play happy, poppy music - the end result is very uplifting, fun music. It also seems as though the band have lots of fun playing the music, adding to its overall feel. The music is very poppy, but the kind of pop they don't play on the radio; I spose you could call it 'indie pop', cause it's very independent and alternative but also poppy, if that makes sense. Think of (at least) fifteen men and women jumping around in brightly coloured togas, each playing a different eclectic instrument (including the theremin), having fun and dancing around. It's almost an orchestra, or as close to one as a band can get.
Also, today at work someone played me a record called 'Zounds' by Dappled Cities, a band I'd never heard of at all before then. I've only heard it once, so my memory could be faulty, but I enjoyed it. I remember being suprised that I enjoyed it as well, cause it's synthy and electroy and poppy, but it was okay at the time. Mind you, then I was played the record by that band who made that 'In For The Kill' song. It was dreadful. Hot pins through my eardrums dreadful. But then, to make myself feel better, I put on 'Frogstomp', by Silverchair. That made everything better :)
I'll properly review when I can think straight. But, for now, make sure you check out The Polyphonic Spree. They're fucking awesome.
