So,

In a time where every where you turn there is another rock/pop classic stripped down to soft piano or acoustic strum whilst an angelic street urchinesque voice floats, almost without effort in a nice ‘isn’t it cool to reimagine these old tunes and make them modern day’ – I think to myself, where the fuck is the next energy coming from?

There are only so many chords, notes, melodies but as with anything it’s how we use them to get our message across. Be it a call to arms, telling of a story, shout of frustration, teenage kicks, struggle with life, sticking it to the man – you need to have an energy a passion a drive. Whether you rap, dance, rock, shoe gaze, twerk at least give it something, something anyone with an ounce of guts can get it, latch onto it and without knowing it join a mass swelling army of fans across all barriers.

Where am I going with this?

Two reasons. Two bands. Two torch bearers with the potential to blow the middle of the road industry away and start a new wave of bands/musicians to challenge everything and do things their way. The Rock ‘n Roll way.

I give you The Dirty Youth and Marmozets……..

Two bands full of life full of energy full of talent plus big balls sound. Both have charismatic singers who rage their range of vocals over a tight back drop of kicking rhythm and driving melodies.

Both bands are the same but quite different, I urge you to follow these links – get into them, support them help grab back the music from the corporate mishmash of boredom. Support them in showing the budding rockers/rappers/twerkers/dancers that be your own thing, do your own thing.

The Dirty Youth

Marmozets

Rise up.
