Rudimental - Feel The Love feat John Newman

It's fair to say that if you looked at my music collection you're not going to come across much drum and bass but thanks to Rudimental and their killer new DnB monster Feel The Love that's about to change.

This song is just all kinds of awesome! It's super addictive and I love the clip.

The video gives a real life look at a youth group from North Philadelphia that is run out of the Fletcher St Stables where people look after and ride horses in what is now a built up urban area. The program is part of a long standing tradition of urban cowboys that date backs over a century.

Anyway, enough from me. Check out my new favourite and let me know what you think.

Jesus Christ (the indie band) - My Best Friend

This is a public service music announcement thanks to Powelly...

I am loving this album at the moment In Ghost Like Fading... I have had it on rotation for a while now and I am still not sick of it.

This clip is one of the standout tracks. I'm not sure if it's official or if someone has made if for a project as I couldn't seem to find any other clips - either way this song is a good one to give you a taste of what this band sounds like.

Hailing from Brooklyn, as are most bands these days, they have a psychedelic soul/folk sound which like this track and most others, starts of pretty mellow and then builds into quite powerful/soulful even ballad like crescendos.

The clip is pretty simple, there are no band shots, just a story - which I think works with the track.

If you like this, then check out the album!

Enjoy.

Alabama Shakes - Hold On

First off, I must offer a huge apology for my good mate Powelly, he sent me this song a month and a half ago and I've been a slack bugger and not posted it.

So it's over to Powelly, to tell you about the Alabama Shakes...

These guys have started making a bit of a name for themselves (again, he sent me this almost two months ago, sorry Powelly) on the US/UK airwaves, a soul/blues band from Athens Alabama which has a very cool sound.

This live clip is a year old, and for me shows they are all about the music, and some cool music at that! Simple, smooth bluesy rockin' guitars and the singers stunning soulful voice.

If this song doesn't kick start your day into a laid back vibe, I'm not sure what will.

Enjoy.

Last Dinosaurs - Zoom

I'm originally from SA, now live in NSW, but lately my musical heart has been heading north of the boarded up into Queensland. With this in mind today's song continues my love affair with the music out of Brisbane, thanks to Last Dinosaurs.

Their debut LP In A Million Years is a maroon slab of indie awesome that's been winning them fans across Australia thanks to lead single Zoom.

Zoom kicks off with a sickly sweet new-wave indie pop guitar riff that that's backed up with a film clip that resembles a Mugatu brainwashing session straight out of Zoolander.

I'm not sure why but I feel compelled to play it over and over... and kill the prime minister of Malaysia!

DZ Deathrays - No Sleep

From their killer performances at SXSW in Austin (one show was closed down for being too awesome and loud) to being named in the top five most exciting bands of 2012 by NME, two piece thrash pop from Brisbane Dz Deathrays are certainly winning fans across the world of late.

I gave their new album a spin today and it's pretty dawn RAWK! Reminded me a bit of Death From Above 1979 and that my friends is certainly not a bad thing.

Oh and it seems that Arj Barker is a bit of a fan... he's in this clip. Awesome.

Cloud Nothings - Our Plans

Today's tune is brought to you by Sticks one handsomely stylish man who calls Adelaide home. When he's not running one of Radelaide's hottest late night venues or partying with beautiful people, he's listening to awesome music bands, Cloud Nothings are one of those bands...

Converse, , flannel, ripped jeans and drinking to excess! This is what the 90's evoked and that's ecaxtly what Cloud Nothings have going for them. New era, lo-fi grunge for you to reminisce over times passed.

Their latest album Attack On Memory is well worth a start to finish listen. Stand out tracks are Stay Useless, No Future-No Past, Wasted Days and of course Our Plans which we've gone with today. You might start questioning whether Kurt Cobain really is dead.....
