Slaves Review.

“Are You Satisfied?” Is the second studio album from Kent based band Slaves and after listening to this album non stop for the past two days, you cant really fault this album at all, there’s not one song on this album that is bad at all. After discovering slaves almost two years ago and “thinking what the fuck is this “Slaves have easily become one of my favorite bands and I feel like this album is going to change a lot of things for them.

The album kicks off with “The Hunter” which was previously released as a single last year there’s not much to say for this song besides the fact it’s a really good song, the next song on the album again was released ahead of this album last month “Cheer Up London”, the third track on this album “Sockets” is a new one and possibly one of the best tracks on the album, sticking with their classic guitar riffs and heavy vocals, Are You Satisfied? Is similar to they first studio album “ Sugar Coated Bitter Truth “but its also really different, with songs like “Are You Satisfied “being only one minute and thirty one seconds long but very different to they usual stuff, this makes it one of the best songs on the album. This album just flows really well, its one of them albums that you get so into that you kind of forget what track you’re listening to and then its finished, and you want to listen to it all over again.

 Although all the songs on this album are pretty good there’s three songs that I’m not really sure on “Live Like An Animal”, “Wow!!!!7AM” and “She Wants Me Now “aren’t necessarily bad songs, to me these songs kind of don’t fit with the album but I still find myself singing along to them, although “Live Like An Animal “was released as a single two weeks ahead of the release of this album, I feel like it should have been left as a single rather than being on the album.

The ending song on this album is very different to how you would think slaves would close an album “Sugar Coated Bitter Truth “with its slowed down guitar riffs and less heavy vocals, and lead singer Isaac repeating the lyrics “don’t trust the flies they are government spy’s “for the majority of this song, this song really makes you listen to the vocals rather than waiting for the guitar solo’s and massive drops that slaves always seem to have within they songs. Overall this album is a pretty good you cant really say any of this songs are bad, its just some to me don’t fit really well with the album itself.

Catch Slaves on tour in November or this summer at T In The Park, Truck Festival, Reading And Leeds and loads more.

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...
