Okay so this week I’ve been back at home as I had a gig with my band. The song I’ve chosen this week is by the fantastic band Cheating Lights, who we gigged with on Saturday 12th January. The track is called ‘Faded Friend’ from the Elephant Dance EP. (Brilliant artwork by the way.)

The song itself is a real sing along. A cracking call and response chorus along with a belting vocal intro and a really emotional and important lyrical topic. If you’ve not heard of these guys before, be sure to check them out!

Bridge Burning – Foo Fighters

What better way to kick start the year than one of the best rock bands to ever exist. Bridge Burning from the 2011 album Wasting Light is an absolute belter, combining a standard Foo killer chorus with Dave Grohl’s exceptional vocals and a face slapping riff.

As an album opener, it really get’s the adrenaline running. The play on dynamics and chromatic run downs is truly exciting. Furthermore, what a great opening lyric – ‘these are my famous last words’.

If you haven’t heard this track then you really should.
