| Basically, Basic Vacation are a must-listen to new band. |
I tend to start my 'Artist Of The Week' blog posts with how
I first discovered each artist. I have a passion for finding new music and
developing my views of it so when I come across a band I get excited. If you
want to share my feelings a great way to check out new music is listening to
random bands that follow you on twitter and browsing through the 'Recommended'
videos when you are listening to a band you already know and love. Sometimes
the bands are not brilliant or not your kind of thing, but occasionally you can
come across a real gem and quickly become a fan.
This week's Artist Of
The Week is Basic Vacation and I first heard of these guys after some sad news
that the drummer (Mike Montalbano) of the fabulous rock/pop band Hollywood
Ending parted ways with the rest of the boys. However, it just goes to show
when one door closes another one opens as Mike then went on to join Basic
Vacation from New York/Philadelphia. The band are quite different from
Hollywood Ending as their music is more indie pop, I would personally describe
their music as refreshing and fun. Basic Vacation is a very new band and so far
only has one song called 'If You Want To' but if this song is anything to go
by, their future music is going to be really great. The song has a sprinkle of
summer sparkle and a huge helping of catchy lyrics that make me want to dance
to it all the time. The three boys in the band are all very friendly on twitter
and they have the potential to go far. Currently, the guys are doing house
parties across the USA and I must say I am very jealous of the American fans as
what could be better than having an awesome band perform right in your front
room with all your friends?
