Colour Revolt "Mattresses Underwater" Live

You don't get the full affect of these bands until you hear them live so hear is a live video from colour revolt

LIVING BETTER ELECTRICALLY

The band Living Better Electrically is another band from Mississippi. LBE is completely different than any other new rock sounds coming out of the south these days. They base their music around hraceful melody and harmony. They are more of an edgy pop indie band, but they have their own distinct style which really sets them aside from any other band coming out of the south right now. This rock quartet is driven well by melodic strong guitar and keyboards. Their lyrics and clever and creative such as in I think their best song "Princess Blue"(which is on their myspace page). I siggest you check these guys out quick and you won't regret it. They have no cd's or hard copies of music you can purchase online but they have a few good songs available for download on their myspace page which is linked here:

POST PICTURES

I have linked the pictures of the bands on the posts to pages on amazon.com where you can also find these bands cd's for cheap prices. I will continue to do this for every band.

MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA

Look out for this band because they are on the rise, and they are moving fast. Their name is Manchester Orchestra and believe it or not they are from Atlanta Georgia. Led by frontman Andy Hull this band is making leaps and bounds in rock music. The groups full length album was released in mid 2007 and is called "I'm Like A Virgin Losing a Child." As you may have realized by their album title this band is very much influenced by religion. In many of their songs they relate their lyrics to biblical phrases, and sing alot about God himself.

Manchester Orchestra's sound is mostly led by lead singer/guitarist Andy Hull. Hull's lyrics are brilliant and he is much more of an artist than a songwriter. Their music can be a little more indie pop on songs like "The Neighborhood is Bleeding" and they can totally switch over to a more serious end in songs like "I Can Barely Breathe," and "I Can Feel Your Pain." Andy Hull thrives off his smooth voice and brilliant lyrics, the band itself compiled together an A+ album in "I'm Like A Virgin Losing a Child." It's full of emotional drive that pulls in the listener and really connects you to Andy Hull and what he is saying. They know exactly how and when to put each part of their songs together. I sincerely recommend this band to anyone looking for a new indie rock group, they are absolutely fantastic.

COLOUR REVOLT

The band Colour Revolt is a 5 piece guitar driven indie rock band from Mississippi. They met in 2003 at Ole Miss. and formed the band who received their first small record deal in 2005 From Esperanza Records. From 2005 to 2006 they worked on putting out their first self titled EP demo.

The band has 3 guitarists and is driven by the melodic and swift sounds. Jesse Coppenbarger is the lead vocalist for the band and has one of the most powerful voices I've heard in a long time. He uses such dramatic emotion in his voice he draws you into every song. The band can go from playing a slow ballad to an exploding whirlwind of the 3 guitars pounding away to Jesse Coppenbargers screams. Colour Revolt has a large soutern rock influence but also sounds alot like artists such as Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, and Brand New. They're a very talented young group who are destined for great things in music and I suggest you check them out I've posted links to their websites where you can also hear many of the songs from their demo.

INTRODUCTION

This blog is an informational blog where every week I will be posting up new "up and coming" indie rock bands and telling you a little about them. The purpose of this is to help spread the word on some great bands who for the most part haven't been heard of yet. Most bands are from independently owned small record companies that don't have much of a way to spread the word about their bands, so I will try and better your awareness.
