***MonthlyIndieMixtape #7***



Good morning, good morning!!

The 1st day of December is upon us and so is the last MonthlyIndieMixtape for the year. It's been a great year for Indie music and I've had a blast of a time sharing the best of what I come across. I for one have found some bands that I will call favourites for the rest of my life and I hope you have too. It's just amazing how many bands and artists out there can still make moving music when a lot of music feels like it has gone stale. Thank you to all you guys and gals that keep that dream alive by creating all the time. We salute you.

So anyways, thanks to all you listeners and anyone who floats by this page and has a fleeting interest. You are all welcome!!

Also a big thanks to Mayo and the gang over at MAGISKA!! These guys are just fantastic and deserve a large pat on the back!

Now let's get down to business and get down to business if you know what I mean!

The Rest Of The Best Of The Week In Sound.

Hey guys.

Well before the days of the MonthlyIndieMixtape there was The Week In Sound. The Week In Sound was a whole bunch of weekly mixtapes that basically displayed the talents of a lot of up and coming Indie bands. It was taken off the radar to make way for the much newer and much more improved MonthlyIndieMixtapes but the same amazing sounds were still there.

So for all you new listeners here is a list of the 10 Week In Sound mixtapes for your listening pleasure. They are good and they are all here.

Check them out and don't forget to tell your friends!!

Mixtape #6 is DOWN!!

Hey Gang.

So today I received an email from the DMCA informing me of a copyright infringement with this months blog so I'm very sorry to all the bands who like the promotion but because I don't now what band or what song was infringing, I have to remove the whole lot! It's really not fair on all the small independent bands who are looking for a kick start but hey, you don't mess with the big boys so it would seem.

So if any of you cool, sassy, independent artists out there who wouldn't mind being featured on a MonthlyIndieMixtape, would like to contact me with a song or two then I would love to help you all out! Spread the word, MonthlyIndieMixtapes is here to help!

Once again, I'm very sorry to all you great bands but the man has spoken. We'll just keep on keeping on without them!

Review: 'The Knife Show' By Eating Pebble.




November Review:

The Knife Show - Eating Pebble

What can I say about Eating Pebble's new album 'The Knife Show'? Well to be honest, plenty. After displaying their sounds on 2008's 'Sammi! Oh, Sammi!' EP the boys are back with a full album and let's just say that it is damn good! Full of catchy lyrics and even better guitar hooks Eating Pebble have discovered a sound that suits their style and let's the listener engage and emerge themselves in the stories as if they were their own. Be it from the driving bass lines on 'All Her Soldiers Gone To France' to the meloncholy lyrics on 'Close Your Eyes, Shout!', the boys have something to scream about.

When I asked Mattias (the guy with the cool hair who plays lead guitar) how The Knife Show came about, he simply replied, "I believe it just happened as a necessary result of trying to write the best songs in the world. I'm not being big headed, I just think that if you don't try to do that, you shouldn't be in a rock'n'roll band". Honest words from a guy who makes honest music. Honest to God rockin' Indie music.

So personally I am captivated by The Knife Show. It's been far too long since a band has delivered on their word and released a straight up rock record straight from the heart, and if these boys continue making the sounds that they do then there is no limit to what they can achieve.

"The Knife Show" - Released 13th November 2009
