7 Day Weekend a small band from Warrington are on the road to releasing their next single Endless Doses and I've been fortunate enough to have a sneaky listen. The song is really catchy; the melody is infectious and gets inside of you. I found myself trying to sing-along just in the first listen. I will try not to give too much away because it is better leaving it as a surprise for you to enjoy. The song starts with a really strong guitar intro, it is clear the band have been working hard together to produce this song. Each instrumental element combines together and compliments one another well to produce the final outcome. In a way I want to say that Endless Doses is slightly heavier than the bands original stuff but they do such justice to it that it's hard to think of it that way. Calan's vocals really fit with this song and the development in his voice because of the raw edge which supports the song well.
It's a real life song to them and when you listen to the lyrics it is a song which any teenager can appreciate or will have experienced in their life. It is something that anybody could understand no matter of age because it is a relatable song. For me this is a powerful element by the song being able to connect to its audience well.
This has made me even more excited for tour this Summer as the band are going to be playing on two dates of our tour but they are playing all over the place this summer so make sure you go and see them if they are near you. They are lovely guys and would really appreciate you going to say hello to them.
7 day weekend are a five piece pop-punk band from Warrington in England. These boys are only in their teens meaning that there is a lot more for them to experience in their musical career. The boys formed together mid 2010 and seem to have been a strong band since. The boys have also released their first EP following their highly successful and quick shot to fame. The EP features five of their songs and is available from many different online stores and also their own bigcartel page should you want a physical copy. I think that this band have been successful because of their ambition and passion which they are giving their music career. It clearly shows that it is something that they want to do and are really enjoying at the moment.
I look forward to seeing this band develop because I am sure that they can achieve great things for themselves in the future. This is their song mistakes.
The whole red bull bedroom jam is starting to confuse me on how the buzz chart works because the band with the top votes is hardly ever in the chart which seems disappointing as they have something like 15,000 votes and currently the top buzz band has 2,600 votes. I really don't understand it, but I can sadly tell you that FYI decided to drop out of the competition because they felt that they didn't have the right sound for the competition and have decided to focus on their music as a whole. And I can tell you that what they have instore for 2012 should be amazing. So this does mean that I have had to find a new band to support in the competition and I've adopted Show it Off, so we are all basically just trying to crack the buzz chart and find out the most effective form of promotion. If anyone knows how to then let me know? Because everything that I've found out is just hopeless and I seem to be walking around in circles of nothingness. But remember you can still vote for as many different bands as you like so share a little love for Show it off whilst you are there? In all seriousness though there are some really awesome bands involved in this competition so take a look and you might find one that you like. www.redbullbedroomjam.com
Another bit of news, I'm not sure how I feel about this yet is that Room 94 are supporting Twenty Twenty on their May tour. Along with FutureProof who will also be supporting them but it'll be intersting to see how that works out and I'm guessing that it'll be an honestly amazing tour. But it will be really good for FutureProof and Room 94 - I think after this tour their whole music careers will completely change and that they will be much bigger. I could be wrong but this is my prediction, it'll really effect their popularity and both bands deserve that.
Also tour info, this amazing tour called "Don't be a hatour" - that is the poster and there are some really awesome bands. I so hope that they find a London date because I really want to see Show it Off in tour and also the other bands are immensly awesome so if you are near any of these places then make sure you check out some of these bands. I am so excited about this tour it is unreal and I'm not even going to be at it yet, I shall keep you updated especially if they find a London date most likely with a whole post in capitals. Tickets are being released at the start February so make sure you get hold of yours.
Not that I do jealousy but I am very jealous of a local school, Kaleidophone went there on Friday and ran some instrument/songwriting workshops for the students before playing a mini gig in the afternoon. That is what I call a good day of schooling, things that good never happen to me and my educational life. From what I've heard it was a really great day for the students and Kaleidophone thoroughly enjoyed their time there.
I really need to learn to keep this section to two minutes long but there is a lot going on lately to be excited about. UK Chart This weeks top three consist of David Guetta with Tittanium in third, second spot has been taken by the Rizzle Kicks with Mama Do The Hump and of course this weeks UK number one is Jessie J with Domino.
