Track of the day... Young Legionnaire - Colossus

Remember Bloc Party? Well, here is their Bassist (and a few more instrumets (Drums, Glockenspiel, Keyboard)) with his side project. I mean I just love how all Bloc Party side projects all sound differant! So...

Young Legionnaire, they played their first, and to my knowledge first gig way back in January. This song is called Colossus, its a free stream track from their facebook site and their soundcloud account.



Seems pretty similar to the type of stuff they played at the gig. Not really keen on the first minute or so but it is fantastic towards the end. Listened to it three times and I'm completely in love with it. It's pretty close to what I was expecting, and if a later recording of this gets a bit beefed up it could be even better.

Track of the day... run,WALK! - Why Can't You Do It For One Day?

This song has such a raw energy, the marching ish drumming at the beginning is perfect, the bridge is lovely, and the verses are a very nice touch on a very good song from a small band. I have seen them live, but sadly this wasn't played [they mainly played their new mini album tracks]. The bass [overall] in the chorus is lovely and can shake your bones if you have it loud enough.



A winchester based two piece band with a promising future on the 'Holy Roar' label, keep an eye on them. They have a monster tour of the UK and some EU dates too [http://www.myspace.com/runwalk].
