British (New) Bands!

I just love some of the British new bands; i really love their sound (that for me is different from the American bands (but they are some American bands that I really appreciate!).
English bands like Muse, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs; Placebo, and the Editors are on my Mp3 player.


The Muse already count with four albums. For me the best one is Absolution but they are all great. I had the pleasure to see them at the Super Bock Super Rock Festival in 2004.

The second album of Bloc Party is going to be released next month (but I already have it (thank you e-mule!!)) I can say that is as great as the first one and I’ve already my ticket to their concert at the Coliseu dos Recreios the 18th of May : D I just can’t wait!!!

Franz Ferdinand have two albums. They are very good on stage but well…not very different from a gig to another because I just saw a concert on the Mtv before I saw them last year at the Super Bock Festival and the gig as pretty much the same. But their music is greeeaaattttt!

Kaiser Chiefs…well….nice music to dance will your making the cleaning at home. Lol.

Placebo is not a New band, they already have 5 albums of originals. But it is one of my favourite bands as well as the Muse. Never saw them acting live and they just came last year to perform but well… I didn’t got the chance

And The Editors just gave a great gig at the super bock festival last year, I think that they just surprised everyone and they stayed surprise as well because it was the first time that they were performing in Portugal and the audience just know all their songs lyrics.
For me it was even better then the Franz Ferdinand gig.

Well this with was just to share with you some of my music taste and to see if there’s anybody there that appreciates the same bands as I do.

I have others that I like to hear at the moment like Radiohead, Gnarls Barkley, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, She Wants Revenge (a very nice album from the first music until the last one), The Killers, Arcade Fire, and others.

Just hope you to share your tastes with me and to introduce me some new music. I just love to discover new sound and new bands.
I know that there are great bands out there but sometimes I just don’t have patient to look out for them.

By the way if you like some of this British bands and this type of music and if you have the chance, take a look at the MTV2 at the TVcabo FUNTASTIC LIVE, because this channel is the MTV at the UK (I suppose ) and just puts on good music.


Cheers!!

You have good taste in music. I absolutley love Muse. The Killers give me the chills when I hear them, amazing! Too bad they didn´t come to Portugal during their tour, they went to Barcelona instead :( Placebo is great but the music always sounds the same. I saw that you like Arcade Fire. Arcade Fire are Canadian, from Montreal. I love them, you have to listen to their new single, Intervention. When U2 went to perform in Montreal, they asked Arcade Fire to be their opening act. That is a really big thing for them because they were just coming out. Another band that I really like is Billy Talent, They are also Canadian, and on MTV2 they have their video clips. What I like most about Billy Talent is that they sing about things that are happening in our world. It´s a little depressing because it´s mostly about suicide and things like that but they are able to transmit their message and that is what really matters.

I agree with Maria Joao when she says that you really have good taste in music. However, of those you mencioned I only like Muse and The Killers. The Killers is one of those bands that you can't stop hearing. The single 'when you were young' is my favorite. It almost makes me cry.

well, about this issue I don't have too much to say. lol I just like one Placebo's song, that I can't remember the name of it lol. about the other ones I can't tell because I must say I don't know either of them. I'm not into it.
But by the way, good ideia ;) it's good to know a little more about you.
