Here's a few artists you should check out!

I know I complain all the time about being broke, thus no album reviews. I'm sorry for that, plus it's also very difficult to keep up with all the new music out there.. I'VE FAILED YOU.  But there is some great ones and some pretty bad ones. Ones that shouldn't have picked up an instrument in the first place. I guess that's all about the music discovery right? Because it feels pretty awesome when you found your new favorite band. When the songs get stuck in your head, but you're totally okay with it. When their album is on repeat for weeks. It's a great feeling. But like I said, there's tons of music you have to dig through, like there's tons... you don't even know. Well, maybe you do, but still! Anyways, I found some pretty great artists and I've decided to put them all in one post.

I hope you've found your music discovery.

1. Moose Blood

2. Vance Joy

3. Modern Baseball (I've featured these guys on my blog before, but just a refresher!)

LOOK WHO I FOUND!!

HOZIER

I discovered this guy on Facebook, of all places. 

I thanks to one of my co-workers, she said that she loved every single song on the his self titled album. So of course I had to check it out for myself!

Sighh, another broke time for Zoey...

But thankfully for the internet, I can stream this dudes album! Sad day...but good day, kinda.

I've decided I really like his voice, how deep and melodic it is.

Plus, his music is more of the indie-vibe. Which is pretty much my favorite genre.

I know, I think I'm bias. 

Sorry guys.

Anyway, if you haven't heard his hit single, "Take Me To Church" please, just listen. It's pretty catchy.

Want more? Yeah ya do.

YOU ARE  MOST WELCOME!

Built To Spill

There's nothing I would love more than to do an album review of Built To Spill. But sadly, I'm broke as joke. Want to know why?! Cause I was busy getting this little gem...

If you somewhat read my blog posts, this song by Modest Mouse (Float On) means a lot to me. It has gotten me through some of the most stressful times in my life, especially this year. I've been wanting to get this tattoo for years now and after this summer, and me finally having $150 to blow on a tattoo. I finally did it, and I am so happy I got it. 

So that's why I'm broke! But I'm totally okay with it.
Thank god for music streaming right? Even though it's horrible for record companies, but anyways!

As I was getting my tattoo, I was telling him how much the song meant to me and he asked if I've heard of Built To Spill. I haven't, so here I am listening to them while I'm writing this blog post and I love them!

They do have a Modest Mouse feel to them, like it's Modest Mouse' young brother or something. Haha. But a little more edgy. The way they harmonize their voices, and the vocals a little bit too. Of course they do have their own little twist on things. Where have I been this entire time and not known about this band?!

Next payday, you bes' believe I'm going to buy a few of their albums!

If you've been living under a rock like me, you should definitely check these guys out!

Flashback Friday!!

Remember that white jamaican guy who used to be featured in hip-hop/pop songs?

You member! 

Everyone knows who he is, even if you didn't listen to his music.

You member!

He disappeared somewhere. He like, dropped off the face of the music industry. 

Gone...gone forever.....

WHERE ARE YOU SEAN PAUL!?!!

Actually I think he's married to someone.

Anyway, here a flashback for ya...

Isn't crazy how when you listen to it, you know exactly where you were in your life when you heard this song. Crazy stuff.

I'll just leave you to ponder that.

Your welcome!

This maybe just me, but...

I absolutely hate it when bands have music videos and all the camera or director focuses on is the lead singer.

When the director doesn't show the band at all, or maybe just a small flash to them and then back to the lead singer. Then the rest of the music video is just the lead singer. Or how about when they do show all of the band, but it's only when their playing their instruments.

What the heck man?!

It's all about the whole band, not just the lead singer.
Sure the lead singer may be more attractive then the rest of the band.
But you gotta show everyone else's talent too, ya know?
I think that's is what everyone loses sight on.
The every band member could be ridiculously attractive, like jaw-dropping, were-you-sent-down-from-the-heavens hot.
But their music could totally suck and make babies cry.
They will still sell a million copies because that's all everyone cares about.

It's a sad day for all the real music lovers out there.

To see what I'm talking about, here's some music videos:
( Some these bands are not what I particularly listen to )

Eisley-Smarter

Paramore- Brick By Morning Brick

I See Stars- Murder Mitten
