My Favorite Album!
Hey, Hello, What's up? and Hi!
This is a post about my favorite album!
These opinions are my own!
Lana Del Rey - Born To Die
I like the vintage feel to the album as well as it's modernized themes i.e. Pro-Prostitution, Love. I think she's a real artist being honest through the art of music!
What i dislike about this album is that it's only remembered for the tracks "Born To Die" and "Video Games" when there's many great tracks on this particular record.
Also i think it's time to come away from "BORN TO DIE" and make a whole new record and back away from this particular record.
Feel free to comment on what you would like to see on this music blog!
Enjoy the rest of the internet!
Bye x

Losing my sanity with Sanity Loss Member Tyler Dawson In a Interview!
Who are you?
I am Tyler Dawson, Bassist of the band SANITY LOSS
What Genre are you?
We are a Metalcore/Hardcore band, hailing from the UK
Who's in Sanity Loss?
We have the very talented Dan Halsey on Lead Guitar, Ryan Doogle on Drums and myself on Bass/Backing Vox! We will be announcing our new and fuckin' awesome frontman and Rhythm Guitarist in the next week or so on our Facebook page!
How did you meet?
Well I first met Dan through a close friend of mine called Amie, who is with Dan, and she sent me a video of his old band playing. When I departed from my old band, I met with Dan and spoke over some ideas for a band (Which turned into Sanity Loss) I met the others through Dan at local gigs, and we pretty much stole them from the bands they use to be in! haha!
So you're a very charismatic person?
I like to think so haha! I don't know
When are we to expect a single or EP?
Well we have been working so hard getting all our songs perfect and picking out which songs to use on the EP now. I believe we will have a single out before the end of the month! Along with a music video and the EP following shortly after! I'm stoked! Can't wait for everyone to hear what we have been working hard on! I'm in love with every song we have and I really hope our fans love them as much as we do!
What is the single going to be?
Now that is a secret.. But its heavy and I love playing it! Can't wait to release the final version!
Can't we at least get a name of a track?
That is also a secret, it'll be announced soon!
Are you ready for the fun questions?
Very much so!
Marilyn Manson Or Lady Gaga?
Marilyn Manson, although I do like Lady Gaga I must admit! The pop scene needs someone like her! Great couple they would make though..
Would you rather be known for that 1 song forever or be remembered for a brand of clothing?
Well since I am a musician, I'd love it if we wrote a song that people wont forget and will live on, so I will go with that. I would love to start my own clothing line some day though
I have a challenge which i offer to every band/artist if you choose to accept it'll appear here! do you accept?
Oh god, let's do this!
The challenge is to cover Katy Perry's ET!
Deal, I'm sure we can do that! Would be fun to play live!
Recommend any bands/artists?
Well I'd recommend you since you record at my house and I've watched you grow as an artist! I'd also recommend Alligatr. for all those Indie lovers out there! The Thieves to all those Rock N Roll lovers and Avenge The Heartache because they are a fucking awesome Metalcore band! I have become friends with so many amazing artists since Sanity Loss started moving forward and I would recommend people to come to our shows and watch every band we play with because they are all friends and all great in their own way!
Any last words?
I would like to thank all the people who have shown us love and support! Our fans keep us going and smiling and without them, we are nothing! Please keep spreading the word of Sanity Loss with your friends! Come to a show and say hello to us! Tour dates are on our band facebook page which is:
www.facebook.com/SanityLossBand
We're also on twitter on:
www.twitter.com/SanityLossBand
Come say hello! We'd love to make friends! Thanks Mikeey for the interview, I'm sure you'll be coming over sometime soon to record that album of yours! Keep your eyes and ears out, Sanity Loss are coming to get cha <666

Getting Snappy With A Alligatr. Member!
Who Are You?
I'm Sam! Frontman of Leicester indie rock band Alligatr.
And absolute legend
How would you describe your sound?
Hmmm... good question. I'd say we're pretty unusual. There's a guy in our band who's into metal and goes to Download every year, and then there's a guy who listens to mostly The Kooks and Imagine Dragons amongst others. Our sound is definitely shaped by the things we listen to and the people we are. We're loud, dancey, and we just want to get everybody moving and having a good time!
How did you guys even meet?
Well, school really. I met Sam (our lead guitarist) back in primary school and the rest in secondary. Apart from Jack, the bassist. Jack is a mutual friend of Ellis from The Unknown, and when our original bassist left, Ellis recommended him to us.
I bet the bassist is gutted now?
Well, you'd have to ask him about that. He left by choice in a rather odd manner, but he's in a different band now, a band that's probably playing music more up his street, and we've recruited a bassist more accustomed to our sound, so in the end, it's good for both parties.
So no enemies yet then?
No no, we're a pretty friendly bunch of people! We've even made pretty good friends with some of the band members from the bands we competed against to win the Festival Rock 2013 trophy...
That must have been fun?
Definitely. The whole thing of it being our first gig made winning it even sweeter. We met a lot of good people, and won ourselves a tour around the Marshall Factory! However, we still have yet to be contacted about that prize... which is a bummer!
That is awesome! Now this wouldn't be a music interview if we didn't talk about the music! so when's your next single/Album?
Our upcoming single Simple Variables will be out soon, we're in the process of booking studios and all that shit currently. An album is planned, we're just working on getting used to gigging and making music together first. We're still finding our sound I guess.
How would you describe that particular single's sound?
Just happy, bouncy, music you're gonna want to dance to. It's a good indie song and one that we hope everyone can get into.
Do you think you'll always write "happy bouncy" music?
Yes, and no. Indie music is something I've grew up with, but I've started to move on and begin listening to more experimental genres and bands which are slowly but surely influencing the way I make music and write songs. However, playing this dancey music with the band seems to be working very well, we all love to play it and the crowd loves to hear it. But all good bands can change their sound without losing the crowd, and we're going to try our best to get that working for us.
How do you find the inspiration to write songs?
Various ways. Sometimes I'll be listening to a song and I'll be like, "I really should write a song like this." and I'll give that a go. Other times, I'll just have something inside that I need to get out, and songwriting is always the medium of choice for me.
And, That concludes the main interview are you ready for the more fun questions! Are you ready?
I sure fucking am!
Lana Or Gaga?
Lana of course. I can't stand Gaga, there are plenty of people who stand for exactly the same things as she does, yet don't get as noticed as she does for it. Originality isn't hard to find, people just don't look hard enough.And Lana's voice is pretty fucking good.
Would you rather be a 1 hit wonder or be famous after death?
That's tough. Obviously I'd like to be remembered for what I do, but not being able to experience it much whilst I'm alive would kind of suck. It depends what I'm being remembered for. If all I did was make dancey indie music then I'd settle for 1 hit wonder, but if I made music with more meaning and deeper thought behind it, I'd go for being famous after death. Good question!
Popless Singer or Wham Bam Singer?
Ah, well I'd have to point back to the previous question about 1 hit wonder vs remembered after death. I don't many of these bubblegum pop artists will be remembered for what they do in the present after death because they have nothing to be remembered for. Nothing stands out, the records they put out all sounds virtually the same, they all follow similar chord sequences and song structure, there's no originality. Techno synth and four on the floor is all too boring nowadays. I'd much rather be popless and do something different than doing what simply sells.
Would you more likely be at a rap concert or watching songs of praise?
Rap concert. Some of those concerts are like punk shows! It just depends who it is I'm seeing. Songs of Praise on the other hand..? There is no god.
Would you recommend any artists or bands to the readers?
Okay, I'd first recommend Animal Collective. Great experimental neo-psych band, if I had to pick a song, I'd say Brother Sport.I'd also recommend The Unknown, great band I know personally who invited us along to support them for their gig in July. They do some good covers and are just about to release their first original song!Lastly, I'd recommend Lightspeed Champion. Wonderful indie rock/folk, song to listen to is Midnight Surprise. Beautiful song, an absolute work of art.
Any last words?
