Mare Of The Night by Magneta Lane

Song #5

Magneta Lane a Toronto, Canada band brought back girl garage with a vengence when they debuted back in 2003. Their mad music and stab in the back lyrics are what girl power is all about. They've released an ep 'The Constant Lover' and an album 'Dancing With Daggers' and were realeased on the indie label Paperbag Records and they are set to release their sophomore album very soon. I've been lucky enough to see them live and they are amazing! They playing amazingly well live and i cannot wait to see more of it. We need more girl bands like this one.

You make girls hearts go black. From you, I watch my back

The Morning After by Count Five

Song #4

Count Five had only one of their singles chart back in the 60's and it was the amazing 'Psychotic Reaction'. Start by listening to that track and you're hooked but if you are already into them or 60's garage punk then i've got another track by them for you. They were 5 guys in their teens who decided to form a band, and were known for wearing capes during their shows (as seen in the photo) they only released the one album 'Psychotic Reaction' but put out loads of singles even if none of the others charted they are still one of the most known and remembered garage bands of their time and are definetely my favorite by far.

Let's take a walk, we'll get together and talk, oh the morning after

Words So Leisured by Franz Ferdinand

Song #3

Oh Franz Ferdinand, i remember the first time i heard the song 'Take Me Out' i thought i was in a new form of heaven, first thoughts were 'shit this is exactly what i've been waiting for! this is bloody amazing!' it was and it still remains a bloody genius song, but they have had many other amazing tunes from previous bands they were in, such as Karelia (which had Alex and Nick) and Kamerakino (Nick), Yummy Fur and a couple others. They make so much music it's insane, not all of it is released but that's the beauty of rare tracks and demos, they have said they want to make as much music as they can and then choose the best ones to put on the album, the more themerrier i am boys. Not only were they one of the first bands of our time (21st century im talking about here) to dress impecably, but their riffs, memorable voice and lyrics will always be hauntingly stalking your mind, once you've got into Franz there's no way of getting out and that's an amazing accomplishment on their part.

I chose 'Words So Leisured' which is a b-side off 'Take Me Out' [i happen to own this single oi!] because of it's beautiful melody.

We All Fall Down by NEiLS CHiLDREN

Song #2

Neils Children have to be one of my top favorite modern bands, i really cannot think of any other bands out there right now that sound like them. Their amazing new wave/punk sound is mesmerizing, and every song has it's own little different genre, songs like 'An Exchange Part 1' and 'Sometimes It's Hard To Let Go' lean more towards their psychedelic side. Tracks like 'Another Day' show pure new age new wave and then you have songs such as 'Window Shopping' and 'Standup' that give you that gritty punk love. Their diversity and amazing musical and lyrical sense and talent are what makes this English band (from Cheshunt, Hertfordshire) absolute love to the ears. I hope someday they are truly recognized by many for their genius art, and that they keep on making music for years and years to come.

Todo O Dia by Dandi Wind

Song #1

I decided to start this 'one song a day' blog with one of my favorite bands. Dandi Wind an amazing Canadian band hailing from Montreal and Vancouver are an insane duo, and when i say insane i mean insane in every way possible, Their live shows are extremely wild with singer Dandi hurling herself around and about the stage, dancing like no one's watching, while mastermind Szam Findlay does all the music and he truly is a genius, because plays everything you hear. With genius tracks, they've realeased an ep 'Bait The Traps', a debut album 'Concrete Igloo', and a few other ep's 'Fresh Humiliation' and a remix ep 'Sacrificial' and a few other singles udner their belt AND getting ready to released their long awaited sophomore album, there is no stopping these two.
I chose the song Todo O Dia off their ep Bait The Traps, because ive been listening to it loads latetly and the portugese in it is amazing, definetly expect me to post more tracks from them later on
