Daily Download... T.W.i.N.S. - Found A Flat

A side project of Things I Never Told You, T.W.i.N.S. are an Electro/Beat/Tropical/Lo-Fi-Dance twosome. We've been hankering for some more tracks and one of their latest tracks has really caught our eyes, it's called 'Found A Flat' and it's got an abundance of layer in it that you need to give a real listen to get the full song, it's got so much going for it we love it so!

Ones to watch: 2011, Things I Never Told You

With being on tour with Kele for some of July this 3 piece band has created quite a stir, their catchy songs have transformed them from 'some support act' into something bigger! I honestly love their style and the way they come across as a band. Loads of people now love what they heard and want more. Click HERE for a live review that gives you all the reasons why you have to listen to them and see them live!



Happiness is easily my favourite track by these guys. On the mp3 it is like the bass is terrific, you can feel it when you whack your speakers up rippling through your bones, and vibrating through your cheecks, the vocals are sung from the heart as you can tell he cares about his music. Now live, imagine you intensify this, it is just brilliant to see a act who is able to create such a wonderful track and still be unsigned... so far! I have heard five of their tracks via MySpace and they are all infused with bass and funky electronic beat. I have liked everything I have heard from them and can't wait for more stuff.

Top 5 tips for 2011

With everyone having seriously lost interest in a couple of the BBCs tips for 2010, I have 5 HOT TIPS for 2011, lets see how many until then prove themselves.

Morning Parade:
Having already mentioned them a few times on here I don't really need a introduction for them. If you are new to this then here is something to mull over. They are getting played very frequently due to having 3 MASSIVE tracks out there!



Also one track also stands out when playing live, Headlights, if they do record this this can easily be a hit, not me being optimistic but to be honest being more realistic, this hurts that people don't know them better!

Morning Parade - Youth



Things I Never Told You:
With having just came off a tour with Kele (from Bloc Party) this 3 piece band has created quite a stir, their catchy songs have transformed them from 'some support act' into something bigger! Loads of people now love what they heard and want more. Click HERE for a live review that gives you all the reasons why you have to listen to them and see them live!



The bass is hypnotising, you can feel it when you whack your speakers up rippling through your body, the vocals are sung from the heart as you can tell he cares about his music. I have liked everything I have heard from them and can't wait for more stuff.

Them:Youth
What do you get when you cross Delphic with Pendulum? This fantastic track called 'Fever Rising' by up and coming band Them:Youth. This London 4 piece is definitely going for big anthem tunes, as you can tell from this track!Their songs have a melancholic edge, combined with an electro beat, and has some funky synths that sound like something a well known dance act should be doing, that somehow makes their songs sound more exciting every time you give it a listen.



Them:Youth finally announced October 2010 as the release date for their highly anticipated (possibly epic) debut album! SO that can easily launch them into 2011 with a big following, as it has proven with White Lies, La Roux, Delphic and Ellie Goulding!

Them:Youth - Halo



We Are Tokyo
With some pretty awesome free single downloads these guys have been apparently getting the eye of a few labels. And why not! the Bright Lights EP was awesome, The Best In Me single even better then came Bullets, with what it was following it was hard for the (then 4 piece band) to give the fans something better... they did it.



Bullets with its catchy hooks and electronic guitar filled chorus just makes it one of those awesome indie tracks!

We Are Tokyo - Colour Blind



Fenech-Soler
Despite them being tipped for 2010 success they haven't really done much except play shows to increase their profile. If you want to just get told what it sounds like, try Digitalism - Pogo but with a but more heart put into it, and recorded in their bedroom.



Thier latest offerings, Stop And Stare and Lies are also just as brilliant but the point of this blog is not to find the obvious bangers but to find the ones people are not aware of. Recently appraring on the latest Kitsune album you know you will hear from them one more time.

Fenech-Soler - Fashion




I HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE BANDS, AND YOU KNOW WHERE YOU HEARD THEM FIRST! CHECK BACK EVERY DAY FOR MORE UNSIGNED BANDS, UNDER THE RADAR INDIE AND THE NEXT BEST THING!

Remember...

IT'S ALL INDIE!

Gig Review... Things I Never Told You @ Waterfront 5th July 2010

I have previously mentioned this band here before, and it seems for a very good reason. This live performance is easily one of the best supporting slot acts I have ever seen, and support bands I have seen include Foals, Wild Beasts and Delphic! These guys have been playing gigs for only around 2 months now and are supporting Kele on his debut UK tour.

They started off with the track titled The Future Or Woody Allen, this track is the strongest song to open on I have to admit, the guitars and drums are perfect for dancing to as I could feel people behind me pushing me from the start of this song, the bass in this song is a constant ripple and makes you feel euphoria when ever the bass kicks back in!



Next was life without, the lead singer dropped the guitar and instead gave the sample pad a go, this again is such a fun song to listen to and live out performs the version on their myspace. The lead singer really gets into the crowd at this moment with the crowd cheering and bouncing to the song. Towards the end of the song someone (I assume a girl) is asking the bassist to take his top off, he ends up saying maybe which just makes the crowd more eager to get into the tracks.

Astronaut, the singer changed into a outfit which was a shiny jacket with NASA logos on it and had some big glasses, this song was new to me and what sprung to mind was the Killers singer Brandon Flowers! But giving the crowd something new with higher vocals and funky sample pads was a nice detour for me from the songs I have already heard.

Running on from that last comment, Germs was a track I have heard before and with a bass to start the track off with is just a awesome way to start a song at a gig, the bass vibrated all through me and towards the chorus more dancing was involved behind me, this is a new experience because normally support acts don't get much notice from the crowd but these guys were making sure Norwich were having a good time!

The Stewardess & Me is another track I know of, but not in the way I knew it. Once again this track is absolutely fantastic live the sample pads and bass are in perfect sync and give the crowd a taste of what these guys are really about!



Devil, it's hard to remember much about this track due to what you will read about the track Happiness... This is what I can remember, Devil is on the same line as the track before with the bass grinding through you, intricate drumming and sample pads all working together to create a wonderful song that would easily fit into Keles set!

Happiness, dedicated to me (thanks!!!). Easily my favourite track by these guys. On the mp3 it is like the bass is hypnotising, you can feel it when you whack your speakers up rippling through your body, the vocals are sung from the heart as you can tell he cares about his music. Now live, imagine you intensify this, it is just brilliant to see a act who is able to create such a wonderful track and still be unsigned.

These guys are very good live performers and can really give a good show, like I said at the beginning, if they were headlining a show they would be worth it, I am running out of superlatives, just wow!

Out of 10: 10/10 I can't wait to see them again, and I mean it!

Track of the day... Things I Never Told You - Happiness

With their myspace and facebook site only being live for just around a month, this is easily one of the youngest bands I have reviewed.



They will be supporting Kele from Bloc Party on his first ever full UK tour in July. They are from London so they know how hard it is to support a well known act so expect them to be good enough for me!



I have heard five of their tracks via MySpace and they are all infused with bass and funky electronic beats, so this will compliment Keles solo stuff well. Happiness is the track I have chosen to focus on. The bass is hypnotising, you can feel it when you whack your speakers up rippling through your body, the vocals are sung from the heart as you can tell he cares about his music. I have liked everything I have heard from them and can't wait for more stuff. Kinda funny that they put two new songs on MySpace only 2 days ago but still, the live show should give me something else to ponder over.
