That's right Kids. New Music Monday has come back around and I for one am all the more happier for it. Today is no exception.
Tafia legends Lost Prophets released their 4th album today. If you're a fan of Cancer Bats, old school-rock Prophets and, erm, Joy Division then this is an album you should get involved with. And maybe even make it breakfast in the morning. Next Stop Atro City reminisces Prophets' anthems of yesteryear by channelling that unmistakable Shinobi Vs Dragon Ninja Vibe that got us stuck on Ian and the boys way back when. If If It Wasn't For Hate is anything to go Watkins has obviously been listening to a lot of Joy Division and translating their cool melancholy in this track. All in all a good rock record with a Liberation Transmission pop, Start Something grit and Fake Sound Of Progress' inexplicable rock 'n roll. The Betrayed. Nice one butt! (It's ok. I'm Welsh).
Motion City Soundtrack. An emo-rock band with less than enough coverage. Their latest record, My Dinosaur Life, is an absolute triumph and if it's possible, may even trump it's predecessor Even If It Kills Me. But here's the thing, if Even If It Kills Me was oh so epic, then how can MDL possibly top it I hear you say? Well, in short, it just does. Packed to the rafters with riffs. Angsty-pop-punk lyrics that I defy you not to sing along to. A dozen gems that will have you shapeshifting in your kitchen and dominating the mosh pit. Standout tracks: Her Words Destroyed My Planet, The Weakends and A Lifeless Ordinary (Need A Little Help).
My two for today.
BBPD.
