Drenge Undertow Review.

Drenge. A now three piece band formed in the year 2011 by two brothers Rory and Eion Loveless, released their second studio album “Undertow “this week on infectious records. And I have to say I’m extremely impressed by this 11-track album. Drenge know for there teenage angst sound have created yet again another brilliant album, just like their first debut album self-titled “Drenge”relased in 2013.

Undertow has a mixture of heavy bass lines and raw sounding drum solo’s to almost mellow sounds seen in songs like “Running Wild” and “Standing In The Cold”, the album begins with a one minute 13 seconds intro cleverly named “introduction “which then continues into “running wild”. Now I’ve only listened to this album four times but I have to say I feel like “running wild “is one of my favorites’ from this album and I can see it as a big hit for Drenge.

Although this eleven track album has no more major vaults with it, I cant help but think songs like “Never Awake “and “The Snake” were just fillers for the album, however saying that the music in “Never Awake “is rather good, maybe its one of them songs that will grow on me the more I listen to this album. This now seems to be a reoccurring event with me as when Drenge’s debut album came out in 2013,it took me a while to appreciate songs like “Gun Crazy” and “Dog Meat”.

Drenge seem to have this odd affect on me, I forget about them but as soon as someone mentions them on twitter or I hear a snippet of a song, I’m attached to them within seconds. The excitement for this album for me was brought about when Drenge released their first single from the album “We Can What We Want “I knew as soon as I heard this masterpiece of a song I had a feeling that this album would be a turning point for Drenge, drawing in more fans but also keeping the fans they’ve had since the start of their career.

Overall the Loveless brothers have created a wonderful album, that plays with your feelings, it makes you feel like a teenage angst ready to take on the world, to mellow and slightly more calmer than you would of hoped to be after all Drenge aren’t Drenge without the heavy bass lines and drum solos are they now?

Drenge’s Second Album is out on Monday the sixth of April.

Poppie's Stranded List.

Poppies’ Stranded List Week three, and another Stranded List, on this week’s stranded list, we have the most emo person I think ive ever met, even though now four years later she tries and disguises it by loving Wolf Alice more than maybe anything ever, however she doesn’t fool me I would say she’s still pretty high up on the emo list, it’s the Alex Turner to my Miles Kane its Poppie. After discovering her Twitter whilst going ham in the You Me At Six tag way back in the joyous year that was 2012, I came across the best @ possibly ever and that was poptw4t (bring back poptw4t I miss her) and from there on we’ve been friends ever since, although we stuck together though both of our emo and extreme Arctic Monkey phrase’s and trust me it was an intense year and a half, we’ve become closer in the past year and a bit over Poppies’ wonderful Tinder adventure’s, our texts over the beauty that is Harry Styles and how his solo’s had given me some kind of heart palpation, and of course ...

Part One Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost review.

Part One Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost review. Oh hello! It’s me your local mushroom, I have returned to my now pretty much-forgotten blog which makes me so very sad, but honestly in the past two months there hasn’t been any spare time to write anything for myself which makes me so sad, because all I ever I want to do is write and make people listen to my insignificant opinions on everything and anything. But finally I have found some time in my mad hectic life to finally write something for myself, between working pretty much full time, doing a degree and trying to have some kind of social life and semi-normal sleeping pattern, I haven’t had a spare second to write anything, that is however until the wonder that is Foals new album came out three days ago, and now I’m about to make you read this delightful little waffle on this beautiful album that I haven’t stopped listening to for the past three days, and to think this is the only first half of the album, boys we are in ...

Why “Reggie Yates Life And Death In Chicago” is so important.

Image
509. People as of July 2016, have been killed this year alone in the us, 123 if these people were black, 13 percent of Americans belong to this ethnic group. Michael Brown was the first black male shot by police that I was aware of, and his death was just over two years ago. You would think that his death would have created such an impact that this would be the last time we saw or heard of anything like this. But it somehow made it worse, the loss of his life seemed to be the start of something, something I thought I would never have to witness. So why is the black lives matter movement, and programmes about police brutality so important and why is an eighteen year old white girl writing about it? Honestly I’m not to sure myself, but I do know I’m angry. I’m angry that its got to this stage, angry that so many people and life’s have already been lost, angry that people are only just realsing how important this movement is, and to use they power and voice to speak out about it, and...
