Mutineers New Single Review: Love, It's A Killer

    Mutineers, a Manchester based band with a cult following from Twitter and Facebook, doing sell out Manchester show and single mini tours are set to release their new single "Love, It's A Killer" out on the 17th March 2014 is definitely one to watch out for.

    With the upbeat tempo and unique vocals which feels quite reminiscent of Robert Smith (The Cure) And Jim Reid (The Jesus and Mary Chain). The catchy well written lyrics paired with these makes for an impressive single with an anthem style feel around chorus, which stands well against as any single modern or classic.  

   This is definitely a band to keep track of and this single is a must have for any music lover!

Top 5 Songs By The Beatles

    As one of the most iconic bands of music, The Beatles top 5 best songs is a greatly debated subject. So here are my Top 5 favourite songs by The Beatles.

Number One: Saw Her Standing There (Album: Please, Please Me)

   Written by Lennon/McCartney this song epitomizes the early Beatles for me, from the 60's vibe and live sound combined with timeless lyrics and a classic voice, this song from hearing it as a baby is still one of my personal favourites and manages to make any mood ten times better.

Number Two: Blackbird (Album: The White Album)

   Taken from The White Album, which is one of the most highly regarded albums by The Beatles. Blackbird’s soothing lyrics and melody make this to be a good representation of a different side to The Beatles, taking them in a new direction. The use of the bird call at the end is something unusual compared to their work before this song and the entire song shows a change from the style of “Saw Her Standing There”

Number Three: I’ve Just Seen a Face (Album: Help!)

    The opening of the song with just the guitar playing and then goes into this song so strong in the vibe of The Beatles most famous songs. The fast pace of the guitar is mixed perfectly with the vocals and lyrics. Another timeless 60’s song

Number Four: Revolution-Single Version (Album: Hey Jude – B side)

    Three versions of this song have been released, Revolution (single version), Revolution 1 –a much slower version of the song- and Revolution 9 being a very experimental recording. Revolution as a single combines passion and anger at violent revolutions whilst being a highly accessible song and being perfect for the era it was made in and all eras since. A truly timeless classic.

Number Five: With A Little Help From My Friends (Album: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)
     A classic in The Beatles back catalogue and for very good reason. This song showed the group a united front and has been covered by many different artists but none meet the love from this song when listening to The Beatles.

Recent Vinyl Purchase

   Recently when looking through 'Back To Mono', an amazing record shop in the city center of Lincoln,UK, I found "Ten Story Love Song" by The Stone Roses.
   As one of my favorite songs by The Stone Roses, I had to buy it and it did not disappoint with the A side being in my opinion a classic from the bands back catalogue and an Epic in the realms of love songs, but flip over to the B side and two previously unreleased tracks "Moses" and "Ride on".
    Moses being the instrumental track on this record, feels like a much looser vibe across the board with an experimental edge lending itself to sound quite typically like The Stone Roses, whilst also being quite a timeless track.
    Ride on the final track on the record, creates a dark atmosphere and an almost foreshadowing of the bands fate. From Ian Brown's vocals to the entire accompaniment of the music. The repetitive beat of drums during the verse allows to set the choruses apart and keep a steady rhythm to the guitars which take a lead in this track, making it a hint towards where The Stone Roses would of took their music.
