Fireworks
Fireworks

1. Play “God Only Knows” At My Funeral – Fireworks – Another song that can’t and doesn’t live up to its name but having said that, it is about the next big thing. I was planning on calling Fireworks a band to watch for in 2015. If I forgot to mention it before… Fireworks is a band to watch for in 2015 – A

2. I Hope Time Doesn’t Change Him – The Drums – The album didn’t do the job and really, how they could have forgotten their gift was their sense of melody is beyond me. Still, this comes awful close to their good work – B+

3. Cult Of Love – Dum Dum Girls – Wall of guitars, melodic ho humm, you know the drill – B+

4. Even My Dad Does Sometime – Ed Sheeran – Cry, that is – A

5. Motherfucker – Faith No More – Never a keen fave of mine but they’ve been aaround forever and this is a fun little track of marshall metal – B

6. Never Catch Me – Flying Lotus – Kendrick Lamar goes where no man has gone before, rapping inside a jazz EDM track – B+

7. Coming Of Age – Foster The People – Not bad but it didn’t happen a second time – B

8. Twin Size Mattress – The Front Bottoms – Sucked lived, this song is so great it towers of teen rock in 2014 – A+

9.  Led By Hand – Fucked Up – A little old fashioned, right? Sounds like screamcore meets screamcore – B+

10. You’re The One For Me – Great Good OK Fine – Really pleasant disco soul stuff – B+
