Music//Long Live The Struggle - The Kings Blues

Released in 2012, but oh well. I'm really enjoying this album at the moment. It's such a mix. Cant Bring Me Down feat. Jason Butler (of Letlive) has been on my iPod for ages, but I'd never really listened to The Kings Blues properly; boy have I been missing out. Also very late to the party, as The Kings Blues split up in April 2012. Wikipedia describe their sound as a ska and folk fusion, influenced by pop-rock; which doesn't sound like it would work, but I think this album has a song for everyone.

PVRIS

Album fave time! This week (well, basically since it was released), I have been listening to PVRIS debut album, White Noise. 

Pronounced paris, this 3 piece rock band from Massachusetts caught my eye when I saw the video for St Patrick on Kerrang. I just thought they looked really cool, dressed in all black, and Lyndsey Gunnulfsen (hope I've spelt that right) voice is really cool. Really cool is how I would describe them basically, I aspire to be like them. 

Because of their genre, female lead and having only 3 members I'm sure many people would liken them to Paramore; but I'd say they are a lot more edgier than Paramore. They have a slightly hardcore sound. 

My Google Play recommends bands such as Issues, Hands Like Houses and Slaves, so if you're fans of them you may enjoy this album as well. I would suggest PVRIS to anyone who enjoys alternative, electronic rock.

To get a feel for them I'd suggest 'My House', 'Let Them In' and 'St Patrick'; pretty sure these are my 3 favourite songs on the album. But that changes frequently.

Let me know what you think of these guys, and any recommendations for me.
