The Temper Trap (Music Band)

Hello people ,

Today I am also going to be blogging about the band The Temper Trap , So I will start with there last 2 albums , Both these albums have had a strange effect on me because both albums have songs that make you feel as if you have heard these songs for years , which is a great thing and you will not get many albums that produce those kind of songs, I first realised this when I bought there last album Conditions , The first song I realised this on was the song Fader , it gave me a feeling as if I had heard this years ago , and as I stated it is such a great feeling to have , a band that can produce quality songs like this deserves loads of credit , but as you know bands like TTT aren't going to get that , as I mentioned on my last Blog.

Then I carefully listened to some more tracks on there last album to realise most these songs had the same effect , but apart from the effect, listening to the TTT is basically poetry in my ears , excellent songs which have been carefully wrote. TTT new album was released this year, from listening to there last album I had high expectations for this album and I was rite it exceeded my expectations , how can I put this 'brilliant poetry has been wrote ....not good poetry brilliant' , a must buy album , but with other artists releasing there albums top 40 chart pop artists that is , TTT had no chance to be honest , which was a real disapointment , you readers will understand what I mean if you have read my last blog about overlooked bands in the music industry.

But yes lets go into more depth about the TTT new album , it starts with a great song called 'need your love' , a fantastic start to a new album , Highlights an electric theme at the start of the song then it progresses into a beautiful story about a man wanting a womens love, Typical TTT I say , Typical in a good way that is. As the album preludes it ends up mixing it's styles from London's burning then further down the line to Were do we go from here, yes a great mix of pefection I say, then we have the song that has made this album stand out to it's chosen audience 'Trembling Hands' all I can say about this song is , what a great song only a band like TTT could pull this off , with Dougy Mandagi giving an excellent singing performance then again only he has the voice for a song like this.

Now all I can say is I hope more music albums are released by this fantastic band.

Bands and solo artist's we overlook .

Hello everbody ,

Today I am going to be talking about certain Bands and solo artist's in the music industry that get overlooked, during the years we have seen some great bands come and go, also solo artists , but I think it's important that we do not forget these great musicians that we have seen in our time , especially the ones we do not hear of a lot , there is a solid reason why we overlook great bands/solo's this is because there is to much cooperate music out there today and to many people are fixed on the same kind of music genre .

With so many companies pumping money into Bands/singers the likes of Nicki minaj and The wanted etc.... these underated and extremely talented groups the likes of 'The Boxer Rebellion , Stereophonics , The Cribs' get overlooked and never get that chance to shine the chance they deserve to make them more popular . So I come to a question why aren't the music companies putting more money into the underated bands ? , is it because they think there music will not stand out to a wider audience ? or is it simply the reason they do not think they are good enough ? , well you start to think why have music labels signed these bands up if they have no chance at being successful , possibly the case of filling the numbers up I say.

But we can look at this another way as well you see , if these underated bands were popular even more popular than this garbage cooperate music thats out there today , us people that like listening to bands/singers that have never been heard of we wouldn't have that chance to say 'I like listening to the boxer rebellion' and with the other person responding 'who are they' , then you think to yourself exactly 'you dont know who they are because there a great band, a band you will never understand',

So yes there is that conclusion to look at , You will also find these overlooked musicians create there own opportunities in life making there own money travelling the country , and hoping that one lucky music scout is in that bar or club watching in the shadows , It will almost become a dog fight at every gig you do , playing your best singing the best you possibly can just to get noticed just to hope that scout is there.

Then we look more to the cooperate side of music bands/singers how would they get noticed ,well these days there is only one solution isnt there really , utterly stupid music shows being broadcast on tv , The X factor , Britains got talent , The X factor USA , Americas got Talent. People who get there claim to fame by appearing on a tv show, being judged on there ability to sing , personally I find this an insult to the music industry , and the likes of Simon cowell claim it's doing the music industry a favour you have to be joking me ! , these shows are the reason we overlook shadowed bands/singers , also I must point out Simon cowell is a "CLOWN" , clearly a guy that doesn't understand music .

Well I could speak more of my mind about this issue but at the end of the day , we know who the great artist's are. I would appreciate peoples comments and opinions .

Opinionated Soldiers

As this is my first blog I want to start with something powerful and strong to grab the readers attention , something that I am sure a good few people think and talk about in the world , some people might see this as an offence, but for me I think it's realistic and a subject which should be brought up on a regular basis.

So let me go into more detail about this piece I am writing about , I am a great supporter for soldiers all over the world including the soldiers that fight in the war conflicted countries such as Afghanistan and other middle eastern countries etc ....
the job they do is great and they deserve all the respect they can get because going out into those kind of countries takes a lot of courage especially if you are A front line infantry soldier , putting there lives on the line for there Queen and Country , so then again I give them so much credit good on them for doing there job.

 I move onto the darker side of the forces , the side I do not respect and the big headed reputation of the armed forces , over the past couple of years I have researched and studied carefully the psychology of what Armed Forces personnel have had to say about other occupations including athletes, movie stars etc ... , and this is not just the military's opinion on other occupations as well, family members of Military personnel also and yes Civilian people with no connection to the Forces. An average person in the Military has an offensive attitude towards Civvy occupations, this attitude goes un-noticed , I like to call it being "passive agressive" I am sure you readers have heard this saying a few times.

 Now I will explain into further detail why this needs to be outlined , To many members of the Forces world wide are being big headed about there job resorting to offensive words against famous people like I said athletes , movie stars , an example I have is by a soldier who wrote a statement on twitter regarding a Boxers victory , The soldier wrote "We put our lives on the line for entertainment" , After David Haye (The boxer) wrote " we put our lives on the line in there " .

 The soldier ment his statement in a way that "Oh I have a hard life I deserve more credit because I am a soldier, boxers dont put there lives on the line" , which I thought was bang out of order, A career in Boxing is a dangerous job and I give them respect for stepping into that ring. So what I am getting at is I am sick of hearing from the Military's mouths that "we have the hardest job in the world we barely get paid the wages that sports stars ,actors do they should give us a sum of there money" .

So I come to the question of, Why do you join the Armed Forces if you are going to bad mouth and be a "BIGOT" basically complain about your wage moan that other jobs out there should be getting a soldiers wage and a soldier should be getting there wage ? .

Personally myself these actors , athletes work hard to get to those places were they are in there lives today , So in future this is to all Military personnel and yes also other people as well but mainly military, DO NOT criticize a person that has put 110% into a career they have worked for , and DO NOT moan about your life and wage you are the people that signed up for that job so get use to it.

My opinion , now what's yours ?
