it seems to be the year of girls but quietly sharing the success are the boy bands. indie has become massive as well as sweet voices and cute lyrics. i mean look at the success of kings of leon (hot voice but hate their music) so here is my top,im not sure how many, bands (in order of the pictures):
- miike snow-they are the band of the genius music that has been amazing for the summer but so perfect for autumn. the voices, the melodies, all their music is really beautiful.
- hockey-theyre more commercial but dead catchy with songs that stay in your head ALL day!
- mumford and sons-such a gorgeous band and marcus mumford (lead singer) has the most beautiful indie voice. theres such desperation and sweetness in that voice like when he says 'ive really fucked it up this time, didnt i my dear?' you can tell hes been there but theres such innocence in that voice. hes what gary lightbody from snowpatrol tries to do. just innocent but not naive or ignorant. its hard to explain just listen to little lion man!
- the big pink-im sure youve heard dominoes which is so great because they truly embrace their totally english accent. it was so revolutionary when arctic monkeys did this and then it got boring but the big pink are less posh and theyve got way stronger accents. they make me very proud to be british!
- boys like girls-just for their name i love them! its so boyish and cant be bothered! like hockey they are just great to sing along to. not great lyrics just great songs with good beats. mindless sort of music.
- bombay bicycle club-these guys are really the meaning of indie boy bands! if you wanted an example of the genre youd choose them. so indie and sweet. really sweet guys as well
so now choose one band to check out and if you cant decide just choose which one is cutest! (why do you think i put pictures in?!!) thanx for all the great comments x
