Brit Rock

Alrightey, get down to getting this out and proper. Just got done with Youth '09 BOTB, went pretty well, undying support from our friends meant we got a consolation prize.

God, it's been one hell of a hectic week. Started Uni on wednesday, 9 to 5, Thurs, 9 to 5, and Friday, 9 to 1, after which I rushed off to perform in the preliminary rounds of the Battle. Jammed basically every night till late. Which explains why I didn't have the chance to update this.

Well, put something together for you guys and girls, some good ol Brit(British) Rock to groove to or whatever you do when you listen to music.

This contains:

1) Muse - Exo-politics
Taken from their album "Black Holes and Revelations", this one is extremely catchy and will stay in your head for days if your not careful. Matt Bellamy again stellar with his Thom Yorkish vocals and the backing band superb as ever.

2) Kings of Leon - Be Somebody
Alright, if you don't already know Kings of Leon, they are at the forefront of Brit music now. Technically they're American but I just had to put this in here. Latest album is so atmospheric, with his signature vocals. If you like this, check out Sex on Fire.

3) Kasabian - Shoot the Runner
Brilliant once again from the Leicester rockers, stand out song from the album and sickeningly catchy bass-line. One of my favourites from them.

4) Arctic Monkeys - D is for Dangerous
Unless you've been living under a rock (no pun intended), you must have heard of the Monkeys. Catchy catchy catchy, brilliant Brit accent. The line "D is fer Dangerous and tryin ter keep yer trousers on" will be repeated in your head.

5) The Killers - For Reasons Unknown
Ah, the self proclaimed best Brit band from USA, this will grow on you. Atmospheric and with memorable lines all over the place. Will have you coming back again and again. I never really liked the Killers but after repeated listens of Sam's Town, found myself singing certain parts to myself and this song is definitely one of them.
