Tripping - First Trip - Unwritten Law

Welcome to Trippin'

So i kicked my trip off by booting up LimeWire and punching in 'Muse' (one of my favourite bands) i browsed the host of the most popular result...

Looking through their songs available i saw a band i liked the name of but hadn't heard of, 'Unwritten Law' with a song called 'Save Me' so here we go with the review....


An almost Goo Goo Dolls voice with just a touch of gravel thrown in at parts, this soft rock start builds to a punchy chorus that sounds like the Goo Goo Dolls with a sore throat. As bad as this may sound, its actually a pretty catchy song, the lyrics are also pretty good so give them a go and listen to them on our PutFile, here:- HERE

4/5

Please comment!

The Automatic - Monster - 4.5/5

'What's That Coming Over The Hill?, Is It A Monster?'

This i would describe as a song that is annoying at first, the frustrating repetition of 'whats that coming over the hill? is it a monster?' did annoy at first and yet after a few listens it seems to fade into the song. A gravelly backing vocal under the main vocals gives it a strangely nice sound to it, setting them slightly apart from other bands.

Don't expect anything incredibley original, just the occasional mad bit on synths but other than that it's a pretty standard song that gets into your head and by the end you'll be screaming along 'whats that coming over the hill? is it a monster?'

Nothing stunning but a song that deserves playback and has an infectious beat that spreads over you like sunburn in spain.

SONG OF THE WEEK - Eisley

SONG OF THE WEEK

Eisley

Listen to it here on the MakeDamnSure Putfile.

Eisley - Memories (from 'Room Noises' purchase to download here, buy it here)

For Brand New fans out there, just a fact that Sherri (from Eisley) went out with Jesse Lacey for a time. Anyway on to the song...a chilled out song that just makes life seem better, stunning voices and a beautiful sound. Give them a chance, they're not like everyone else, and that's a good thing!

Boy Kill Boy - Suzie (Single) - 4.5/5

"S-S-S-Suzie"


An instant body moving beat starts Suzie off. A nice repeat beat that flows through this song will help keep the indie craze that's currently sweeping over us, alive.

Nothing unique about this band, they're just one that are out to do what they like and are really not trying to be different, which i admire. Catchy chorus and a beat that gets your body moving (even as i type this i'm moving along with it).

Very much like other indie bands this is not one
you w
ill maybe go 'WOW' over, but it's definitley a song that can be played over and enjoyed.

A harmelss indie beat that gets your body moving!

Muse - Supermassive Black Hole (Single) - 4/5

"Ooh Baby I'm A Fool For You"


MUSE return, after stunning albums 'Showbiz' 'Origin Of Symmetry' and 'Absolution' MUSE take a twist and look to be able to break into the mainstream with influences of Franz Ferdinand said to be in the new album 'Blackholes And Revelations'

'Supermassive Black Hole' is the first single from the album and on first listen i have to admit i leapt for the delete button. It's a totally new feel for the band that bought us such songs as 'New Born' and 'Bliss'. Matt begins by sounding like he's been kicked very hard and unable to drop to his normal begininng octave with an eerily high voice.

Lots of 'ooooh'ing later the song hits the chorus which is chilled to say the least. The only hint of the MUSE we used to know comes towards the end with an fx mic making Matts 'SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE' sound nice and scratchy.

Refusing to give in and delete the song, i made myself listen a further two times and on the third listen i was singing along like a teen at a busted concert. This is definitley a song that grows on you and although it may not be traditional MUSE, give it a chance. It's MUSE breaking into the mainstream and i can see them hitting the charts hard and being on repeat in the clubs with this dance/rock song.

Give it a chance!, i found it being streamed HERE give it a listen and comment

Lostprophets - Rooftops (Single) - 3.5/5

"Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out!"


Here it is! Lostprophets return after the smash of the 'Start Something' album they return promising to kick you with their infectious mild rock all over again. Since the 'Start Something' album i must say that my music taste has gone more indie but i figured i would test this out.

This song is insanely catchy with a very 'Last Train' soft intro building to the chorus that's bound to get the fans mini moshing. A very simple song really, nothing about it really makes you step back and admire it and yet this is the very reason i like it. It's not trying to be world changing, it's just a fun song by a band who seem happy to sit back and just be liked by those who want to like them. A foot tapping beat and lyrics you'll learn within a listen or two, this song is bound to do well in my oppinion purely for how often the chorus is repeated it just gets into your head.

A simple song with a typical Lostprophets feel about it, fans of Last Train Home etc will not be disappointed!
