SNUFF - Rat Run

A band today, Snuff, that have been in existence in one form or another since 1986. Their latest album, 5-4-3-2-1-perhaps? was their first  release for many a year but time hasn't dulled their ability to pen a catchy punk ditty. This song, Rat Run, was probably the highlight for me....

Quango "Fatality"

Supposedly, if the Blogger stats are correct, nearly 200 people have visited this blog in the first week and a bit of it's existence. Hopefully some of you listened to and enjoyed some music, hopefully you'll come back for more. Even better, give some comments, make some recommendations of songs that might be at home here.

This blog certainly isn't going to impress anyone with the writing, writing which is kept brief as it's the music that is the star around here. If someone finds something to listen to which they a) haven't heard before and b) want to hear more of then that'll make me happy.

Enough talk, here's a single from last year called Fatality by  London "supergroup"  Quango.



And best of all, you can get it "name your price" here : http://firstworldproblemsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fatality-7

Pacer - Red Shirts

Not a song about disposable extras on Star Trek but rather a hope filled message that no matter how much your love life may currently seem as desolate as a distant, barren planet, don't give up. "Honestly, I'm telling you it will get better"

This awesome song is taken from my favourite album of 2012 (Making Plans, get it here name your price : http://wearepacer.bandcamp.com/album/making-plans ). Formed from the ashes of another great band, The Steal, in my opinion Pacer are even better and i can't wait to hear some new material.

lyrics

She Said “I wanna see the world”
And I said “hey I do to!”
But she said “well that’s the problem,
I don’t want to see it with you”
You can be so in sync
That it makes you sick.
Then you realise
you don’t see eye to eye.

We kiss in thunderstorms
persuade ourselves it’s perfect.
We’ll build for years and years,
to realise it’s all worthless.
Lie there with your head on my heart
and listen to the beats.
We’ll say that we’re in love?
We don’t know what that means.

So tell me at what point,
does it get better?
Foolish hearts looking for love,
foolish souls all sat alone.
Loneliness,
It always leads to longing.
And then you realise
You are obsessed over nothing.

We kiss in thunderstorms
persuade ourselves it’s perfect.
We’ll build for years and years,
to realise it’s all worthless.
Lie there with your head on my heart
and listen to the beats.
We’ll say that we’re in love?
We don’t know what that means.
And “young love” will tear itself apart,
tear you up and break you down,
you’re gonna fall apart.
But honestly I’m telling you it will get better.

You’ll run through thunderstorms
to find that one whose perfect.
You’ll Build it for years and years
and realise that it’s worth it.
Lie there with your head on my heart
and listen to the beats.
We’ll say that we’re in love
And we’ll know what that means.
And this love will go straight your heart.
Build you up and strengthen you,
you’ll never fall apart.

But Honestly I’m telling you it will get better.
