Other posters available featuring the other bands

If you follow me on twitter you will know of my excitement about some news that was being released today which was relating to a tour with Strangle Kojak, The Call Back Academy, Follow You Home, Beyond Recall and A Season of Secrets. Plus there will be a local band from that city playing at the show. I can tell you now that I AM going to this tour, I will be at the London date even if it means going alone but there is nothing in the world that will stop me going from going. They are all such awesome bands and it's crazy to think that they are going to be on tour together but it's true.

I am off to the Loud Noises tour this Saturday, which I am really looking forward to. I can't wait to meet all of the Show it Off guys either, as they are such a lovely bunch of guys. From what I have heard the tour has gone really well so far and seems to be getting better as time goes on.

I've got a lot in the pipeline to be released for you all but one thing is that I am planning on starting some TMF interviews soon, so what bands would you like to see be under the grilling? and what questions do you want them to be asked?

Don't forget we are on facebook www.facebook.com/themusicfuture2011 which is probably the best place to keep up with everything that is going on and is the place to notice a few secrets that I'm working on.

UK Chart

This weeks number three is Somebody that I used to Know by Gotye and in second place is She Doesn't Mind by Sean Paul and of course this weeks UK number 1 is Part of Me by Katy Perry.

Quick 2 Minutes

There are lots of bands set to release their music videos soon some of these are A Day Overdue, The Call Back Academy, FranKo, Taking Hayley, Run from Robots, I Divide and I am sure there are so many more but all of these should be coming very soon.

I can now finally tell you about Beyond Recall's new website, it looks amazing check it out at www.beyondrecallofficial.co.uk - I've had access to it all week so I've seen it develop for a bit and its so good the way its turned out. And you can download their song Mistakes for free on there and also have a listen to one of their other new songs. And if you are real smart you will notice some additional show dates in June but I shall leave that part up to your imagination.

Room 94 are releasing their video for You got it Wrong on Wednesday, that'll be one to look out for as that is the video with all the explosions and looks quite like a thrilling video.

Did anyone see Strangle Kojak's Omar on Love Machine on Sky 1 Living? I honestly haven't watched it yet but I have it recorded so I will be sitting down to that tonight. I've seen a few comments and it looks like good entertainment.

UK Chart

The chart seems to stay the same for too long lately, so in third is Elephant by Alexandera Burke, second is Starships by Nicki and then this weeks UK number 1 is once again Somebody that I used to Know by Gotye.

So to start it off the news that has to be the highlight of the week is Not Advised announcing their change to Natives. We were all expecting a re-brand by them and now we finally have it. And it looks like we will be hearing some of their new material next week.
Strangle Kojak got through to the next round of Red Bull Bedroom Jam and their Bedroom Jam is being released tomorrow so make sure you check that out because I'm sure that's going to be awesome.

Also A Day Overdue, Show it Off, That Sunday Feeling and Alone Tonight are all doing a co-headlining tour in May so if you are anywhere near Bristol, Newcastle, Nottingham or Glasgow then make sure you go and see them. This is classed as A Day Overdue's warm up tour so hopefully they'll have another tour later on in the year
I honestly can't think what has happened this week.

UK Chart
This weeks number three is Somebody that I used to know by Gotye, second spot is Next to Me by Emeli Sande and this weeks UK number one is Hot Right Now by DJ Fresh.

Well I can say it's been a tight week in the red bull bedroom jam mainly between Strangle Kojak and Taking Hayley. Both are really awesome bands and I know they will both get through but the fight to get a band through this week has begun and it is very intense. Seeing as I am supporting a different every band per a week for this part of the competition, this week its Strangle Kojak. So if you get a chance then go and vote for them

I have been getting so excited about going to the Room 94 loud noises tour, it's going to be amazing and I am really looking forward to checking out some of their new material. Hopefully get to meet the guys this time which'll be exciting. I am especially excited to see Show It Off who are supporting them for this stop of their tour so it should be really amazing.

This week has bought to my attention the break up of some awesome bands, the first really great one is A Boy Named Girl (I hadn't even got round to posting about them yet) who are a really awesome band and it's sad to see them stop, of Mice and Men has lost Shayley (I'll admit I don't know much about this band but it's never nice seeing a band lose a member) and also the biggest horror of the week has been Not Advised. Although everyone says that they will be re-releasing themselves under a new name especially as they've just come back from America recording an album as that is a lot of money and time to waste. I agree with everyone as I'm sure they will be back but branded under a new name.

UK Chart

This weeks UK number three is T.H.E by Will.i.am, second is Titanium by David Guetta and this weeks UK number 1 is Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye.

Strangle Kojak

Strangle Kojak are a 4 piece pop rock band from Birmingham, UK that are just loving life and live for music and are reveling in being apart of the thriving music scene of today. These guys have just got back from the Stop, Drop, Rock Tour where I hear they had an amazing time and were loved by everyone. Their album is currently on offer for free download from their website which is well worth having a look at.

You can:
- facebook them www.facebook.com/StrangleKojak
- check out their website www.stranglekojak.com
- tweet them www.twitter.com/stranglekojak
- watch them on www.youtube.com/stranglekojakTV

I am honestly having difficulty deciding what I think of this band, I love the way they always seem to be connected but some of their songs are a big to heavy for my liking but there are a certain few songs which I think are great.
Here is a video of them performing live at the recent Stop, Drop, Rock tour. I'm afraid I don't know their songs well enough to be able to work out the name of this song but if any of you do then feel free to share it with me.
