Double Whammy!

Well I didn't update yesterday due to other important events coming up. Due to that we're not going have the usual two bands reviewed. Instead we're doubling it up to four musical acts. I spoil you, I know. So today I've been milling through music sites and such to bring so more new music and after much searching I found some quality acts.

The first to be found today is a band from Cheltenham, England and their name is Carmen. This is rock at it's very best. The quality the band have put into their music really shows when you listen. The songs haven't just been thrown together. What we get is music where every note has been gone over in intricate detail to make sure it fits. If Carmen don't become a big band in the future then I will actually despair for music everywhere.

Now we move onto Anchors, who describe their music as a mix of rock, blues and powerpop. Their music is a nice chill out session. Nice way to relax and I think people should listen to this whenever they just need to relax. And if you don't need to relax then listen to their heavier songs like "Jack Meets John and Paul". Whatever you need Anchors are sure to meet at least one of your musical needs.

Now the genre of country is the next stop in this review and the music of one Casey Thompson. Now Casey Thompson has had a lot of exposure in the USA by performing on the Today show and she has worked with top producers. However even though all of this should gain anyone a lot of exposure, Casey seems to have so far missed that big break where she will become one of the biggest country singer/songwriters in a generation. Though she has gained exposure in the USA, it will soon be time she will gain exposure around the world and deservedly so.

Our final act that will be reviewed today is WindowLicker. Just reading their about me section introduces you to minds that have very strange thoughts and lead you to actually thinking about these thoughts. This may be why their music is good to listen and is different to a lot of mainstream acts apart from the likes of Radiohead. Tiffany, the lead vocalist of WindowLicker could be described as a female Thom Yorke. Keep an eye on WindowLicker as I think big things of this band.
