So, this is my new old indie music blog. I decided to make a new one but I took the posts from my old blog and posted them on here as well. You can find my old blog under xindiemusicx.blogspot.com .
I try to post monthly, but please bear with me if I'm sometimes a little late. Thank you! And now..
Enjoy my blog! :)
A great song that I love is Big Scary's Cover of the Nirvana Song 'Come as you are' within the cover program 'Like a Version' by the Australian Radio Station Triple J.
I think it's very brave to pick a song by Nirvana but Big Scary definitely do it justice. They put their very own spin on the song which I love because they don't try to follow in the footsteps of the band.
I think it's one of the best cover's of the 'Like a Version' series and also one of the best songs the band has released.
Today, I want you to get to know a band I found 2 months ago and loved them ever since. I'm talking about 'Giant Rooks', a German band based in Hamm. The five boys have released 2 EPs so far but only one of them, called 'New Estate', can be found on online platforms such as Spotify.
'New Estate' is a five-track EP that contains very catchy but yet special songs. In the big indie-world the guys managed to find their own sound and the lead singer Frederiks unique voice makes their Music even more remarkable. In my opinion, the EP has a lot of hits and shows the bands huge potential. Every song on the EP is different but yet it's very cohesive. Everytime I listen to the EP, I find something new that I love. The first song I heard - and I still think it's my favourite- is 'Bright Lies' which you can listen to below to get a first impression of the band.
The band is currently touring and will play on a few festivals this summer, such as Lollapalooza Berlin. So if you want to see them live, you should definitely use the opportunity now because I think they won't play in front of such a small audience much longer.
Billie Eilish is a highly talented girl who was born in Los Angles. Her music and lyrics are more sophisticated than you'd ever expect from a 16-year-old. Nevertheless, she still manages to meet the vibe of today's grungie-pop youth. Her songs have high hit potential with some catchy tunes and some cynical lyrics.
In 2015, she released a few songs on Soundcloud, including her first single under the name Billie Eilish 'Ocean Eyes', which earned her a record deal with Interscope Records.
On August 12th, 2017 Eilish released her debut EP 'dont smile at me' with 9 songs on it.
Added to that, she wrote the song 'bored' for the soundtrack of Netflix series '13 reasons why'.
Some of her songs remind of a younger and more quiet version of Halsey so if you like her you should definitely check out Billie Eilish. But you should check her out anyway because in my eyes she's an incredible talent who is sure to be one of Americas' next pop sensations.
Eilish is currently touring Asia and Oceania. After that she'll be heading to Europe and North America but most of the tour dates are already sold out. You can go and check them out on her website at http://www.billieeilish.com/.
Below you can find the video to her single 'bellyache' and the links to her social media accounts.
Enjoy! :)
