Music Review: MSMR

MSMR - Candy Bar Creep Show Ep

 First music review of the month, eeeeee exciting stuff! The reason I have decided to do MSMR is because their album is just about to be released and as a fan I thought it was right I would do my part promoting it.

MS MR are a New York-based American duo consisting of vocalist Lizzy Plapinger and producer Max Hershenow. Their debut album Secondhand Rapture is due for release on 14 May 2013. MS MR have released three singles, "Hurricane", "Bones" and "Fantasy" as well as an EP Candy Bar Creep Show. Enigmatic New York duo MS MR released their debut single ‘Hurricane’ on Chess Club Records on July 2nd 2011. Describing their music as ‘tumblr glitch pop’ ‘soulfuzz’ and ‘electroshock’, this show is a keenly anticipated return to the UK for MS MR, following on from a sold out debut London show at Birthdays in September 2012.

MSMR - Bones

I first became a fan of the band after hunting down the song Bones which was used in the Game of Thrones season 3 trailer and if anyone body else is as much of a GOT nerd as I am, you will agree that this song was perfect for the trailer. I love this band because there songs have a creepy edge to them which make then unique to most things out in the music world at the moment. Not only that but Lizzy, the lead singers, vocals are beautiful and powerful which make listening to the songs an absolute treat. 

MSMR - Hurricane

Another thing that make MSMR so amazing and different is there style; an example of their wacky style is in their latest video for Hurricane which I actually included in my last Sunday mix tape post but here it is again for you to watch. 

I predict big things for MSMR is the future so my advice is that if you are looking something new to listen to download there EP Candy Bar Creep Show and fall in love with them just like I did.

If you have any music recommendations for me please tell me or ask any questions you may have, thank you for every comment I read and appreciate them all.

TGIF Kittens! 

Have a great weekend, Love Hann xx

  

Music Review: The Original Rude Boys

I have always had a love for the Irish and this band has just given one more reason to! My sister was lucky enough to go and see The Script play in Aberdeen a few weeks ago and the main thing she raved about was there supporting act, The Original Rude Boys. After she played me a few of their tracks I took a look into them myself and boy am I a fan now!  The Original Rudeboys are an Irish acoustic hip hop band from Dublin, Ireland. They are notable for single Stars In My Eyes which hit number 2 on iTunes and has received national airplay. They have played such venues as The Olympia Theatre and have also played at festivals such as Oxegen and the Reading and Leeds Festivals. The band consists of Luke Manchini Sean "Neddy" Arkins (Rap Vocals), Robert Burch (Guitar and Vocals) and Sean "Walshy" Walsh (Ukulele). The band's genre has been described as a cross between hip hop and indie. 

Like many young acts these days they started to gather there fan base through uploading there music on to YouTube;  according to the group they had no intention of becoming a band but after seeing the views on their videos rise they decided to take on the music industry. They uploaded Stars In My Eyes up first and the amazing feedback from the song gave them their first single and lead to them making a television appearance on The Saturday Night Show. Since then they have had 3 sell out nights at Dublin’s academy 2, released their debut album This Life and are currently touring with The Script not only in the UK but also in Australia.

I normally like to relate new bands to other current bands to help you guys a little inkling to weather you will enjoy the band or not but with these boys I can’t think of anyone to compare them to. They are indie with a splash of hip-hop but while still keeping the soulful feeling of original song writing. Not only are the boys talented song writers but they have a collection of beautiful vocals and are very talented

musicians . So all I can say is give them a listen and decide for yourself what you think; I personally love them and I am very excited to see what comes of them. There album is beautiful and flows all the way through which I find you don’t get any more with some albums where you can listen to it all the way through without skipping a track. My favourite song on the album is Blue Eyes and I will leave a link to it below but please check these guys out! If you have any comments please leave away below.

Hope you are all well and have a very happy easter! Lots of love Hann xxx
