My Favourite Artists

I listen to all kinds of music, from crazy electro/pop-punk to indie to whatever's roaming about the charts. Narrowing it down to my favourite 3 is quite a task, so here are 3 very different bands who seem to take over my itunes with unhealthy amounts of plays.

1. Cash Cash

This band consist of 4 boys from New Jersey, America, who play synthpop and powerpop style music. I saw these guys live as a support act last year and despite never hearing of them before, by the end of their set I was taken back by the enthusiasm and natural talent of the group. Their music is easy listening and just perks you up wherever you are. As well as their bright, bold music, the boys' fashion sense runs alongside their genre perfectly. Frequently wearing fluroscent/rave gear while performing, it only adds to the overall atmosphere buzzing off the walls of the venue.

2. Vampire Weekend

 

An indie-rock band from New York who's modern take on an old style makes very interesting listening. Their music has been more succesful in the English music scene, gaining number 1 spots in the UK Indie Chart with "A-Punk" and "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa". My favourite song by the band would be the popular "Cousins" due to the upbeat rhythm and addictive hook lyrics throughout the chorus. Overall a very impressive band with an attention to detail with their songs, using creative bass lines and synth rhythms.

3. The Script

 

The most beautiful sounding Irish group to roam the planet. The soft essence to this groups' music sets the tone of calm and collective hearing, with their most famous song to date, "The Man Who Can't Moved" reaching number 2 in the UK, Irish and Denmark Charts. The lyrics of this bands work are the most impressive, providing real stories and emotions behind each tale they tell rather than random jumble about sex/killing and "tying someone to a bed before setting the house on fire" which is expressed in the more popular music of today for some bizarre reason.
