Call Me Anything – ‘Celebrity’ EP Review
Posted on Friday, May 18th, 2012. Post a comment

Not every artist sits down to write a song with the express intention of writing a magnum opus, something poignant or something political. It might have worked for Bob Dylan, but if everyone strived for that sort of artistry we’d never have anything to dance to on a night out. Andrew WK has made a career out of filling this niche (par-teeeeee, par-teeeeeeeee) and LMFAO are making a damn good job of it right now. Here, hailing from the mean-ish streets of Boston, enter Call Me Anything.

Full of synths and Friday-night-fun lyrics, ‘Celebrity’ is a well-polished slice of radio pop-rock. The electronics are commendably not overdone and a rap interlude from Dylan Owen slots in nicely. Lead single ‘#OverIt’ is…well, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a track with a hashtag in the title. Easy to relate to break-up lyrics and an obscenely catchy beat make sure this number is not going to leave your head any time soon. The pseudo hip-hop flares in ‘Unforgiveable’ will no doubt find its home on dancefloors all across the country – perfect for, what do they call it, party rockin’? EP closer ‘Holiday’ takes a break from the relentless partying for a nostalgic, acoustic turn that is almost sickly sweet.

A good pop record is incredibly hard to produce without sounding cheesy or overproduced, and for that Call Me Anything need to be congratulated. It’s not likely to win any Grammy’s (though, who knows? Skrillex is laughing somewhere) but there’s no question about it – Call Me Anything’s ‘Celebrity’ EP is damn good fun.

Molly Moore – Into The Daylight EP Review
Posted on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012. Post a comment

In this part of the world (foggy London town), there’s usually a week of summery weather before the regular doom, gloom and torrential hail rolls back around. It’s only natural, therefore, to surround yourself with anything that feels like that glorious few days of sunshine. Ice cold Pimms, wearing shorts and shades in thirteen degree bitter winds and listening to just the right music. Molly Moore’s new EP ‘Into The Daylight’ fits into that box just perfectly.

AWOLNATION

AWOLNATION is an American electronic-rock band founded by front man Aaron Bruno in 2010. The band’s first full-length album Megalithic Symphony was called “one of the most multifaceted debut albums in recent memory” by Alternative Press Magazine (AP 285). Inspired by every genre from pop to hip-hop to alternative, AWOLNATION brings a unique sound to mainstream radio. Topping the charts with hits such as “Sail” and “Not Your Fault,” AWOLNATION has become a staple in playlists across the world.

Known for music that comes from the heart, Twin Atlantic’s debut album Free – full of introspective lyrics and hard hitting instrumentals – reached number 1 on the iTunes UK Alternative charts. Now, set to take the stage once more with Blink 182 and on the 2012 Vans Warped Tour, Twin Atlantic will continue to take over Britain, the US and Europe one show at a time.

Check out this sneak preview of what its like to handle warped! I think you’ll recognize a few of the ladies in the video!! ;)

“Here is the trailer for my upcoming documentary, Fifty-Two. The documentary itself will explain what it’s like to work with a non-profit while traveling on the Vans Warped Tour for Fifty-Two days. In the final product, you’ll see interviews, scenes, and tour life experiences on what can go on during tour. I’ve been asked many times, “What’s it like to work for a non-profit on Warped Tour?” I’m determined to answer that in this film.”

If you are interested in supporting this project, you can purchase a 12×18 poster print for $12 (free shipping) here or visit http://deangelisphotography.bigcartel.com/product/fifty-two-film-poster-12×18.
