The Holidays - Broken Bones

Two cracking EPs and now one awesome debut LP, Sydney's Holiday's certainly know how to make some catchy pop-rock.

I went and saw them play live at the Annandale Hotel last night and was super-impressed with how tight they sounded live. Also have to chuck out a mention to the Seth Rogan look-a-like drummer, I just wanted him to bust out a joke in between songs!

Broken Bones is one of their stand out tracks from their album Post Paradise, and was great last night. The film clip has some pretty cool visuals as well, so check it out. Sadly the keyboard stand from the film clip didn't make the live show...

Deerhunter - Desire Lines

Deerhunter are a rad band that's been kicking my arse with awesomness over the last few months. They're a four-piece from Atlanta and describe themselves as 'ambient punk' but there's certainly some solid pop harmonies and cool indie rock about them as well.

Desire Lines is just such a god-damn cool pop rock tune, and will certainly be up the list in my favourite songs/albums of the year.

The song is all about how exiting everything was when you were young, and as we get older somethings can lose their shine.

So embrace your inner kid, and look for the strange and wonderful where ever you go.
