Sorry for the delay...

So, about that gig review...It's comings. I promise. But right now, I'm busy with school-work, so you'll have to suffice with a couple band recommendations instead.



First off, a band you've probably heard of from my continual rants concerning last nights concert. To you, my friends, I present The Spinto Band. Hailing from Wilmington, Delaware, this 6 piece band packs more energy into their live shows than a red bull laced with crack-cocaine (Don't do drugs). Ready to run with those who front the modern indie pack, The Spinto Band are able to weave multi-layered harmonies and guitars, with melodies that are impossible not to dance to. Recalling such artists as Pavement and the more modern Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Spinto Band surely is one to watch in the future. Currently on tour with the likes of the Arctic Monkeys (wonder of wonders), murmurs of The Spinto Band are never far from any conversation regarding those who are up and coming. If you are still not won over, consider the fact that in their song "Brown Boxes," they all play kazoos. What more do I need to say?

Next, for your hungry pallet, I present for you, The Wombats. These Liverpool natives, in their words, "carry the city’s legendary talent for smashing pop songs". A bold statement indeed, however, not surprising, nor unexpected after hearing such songs as "Moving To New York". This 3 piece banddefinitelyy know how to write a pop/rock song. With a driving beat that causes your foot to innately tap, a soaring guitar that also lifts your spirits, and a bassline that would inspire any beginning bassist (namely me), and a wit to match (seetheirr website) these boys seem prime for music stardom. Already drawing attention from Radio 1 personalities (specifically Huw Stephens) and bloggers alike, the buzz isdefinitelyy well deserved. Give 'em a spin and you'll find yourself both wondering what exactly a wombat is, and where these boys have been for the past 2 years oftheirr existance.
