Having already tackled meaty political issues and my first film review, it's time to indulge the aural senses.
At the moment it's hard for me to nail down exactly what genres are sending my endorphin levels through the roof, so I'm getting into a variety of styles that you might enjoy.
Non-negotiables are The Rubens with their debut self-titled record. MIND BLOWN. If they didn't win you over last year with the soulful 'Lay It Down' or masochistic-themed 'My Gun' then it's time you headed on over to the iTunes store, or ANY OTHER MEANS via which you download music (it's not for Spiel to judge, although remember these guys ARE Australian!).
Same deal with Two Door Cinema Club's sophomore album Beacon. They first came to my attention with the energetic 'I Can Talk' in 2010, and their follow up is a (very-cliched, I know) polished, slick and heartfelt collection of songs. Check out 'Next Year' or 'Sleep Alone'.
Take some time to check out any, or all of these great local acts.
And if you're not familiar with Johnny Cash: you're about to be!
God's Gonna Cut You Down has his signature driving urgency but the music video with all those famous faces is what really brings it home... enjoy!
