We're back in Scotland for the 5 piece rock band AlteredSky! I first heard this band through Facebook.
There song I Know You Know.
A brilliant guitar tiff starts the song before being joined by a drums beat that has you foot tapping before you know it and bass that's quick and strong. Already it's a great rock song that has me wanting to do air guitar I just hoped the vocals could match the awesomeness! Ana's vocals are strong, powerful and perfect fit for the song ,though lyrics are good but if you don't listen to them they go into the background. And as for originality it's got that too! This song has exactly what you need for a great rock song.
I would love to see them live as I imagine they'd be a very powerful and energy filled band. I look forward to hearing more from up north soon.

A review for my first solo artiest James Plimmer, he does covers/own songs on YouTube, first heard of him through Facebook.
His song Snow Angel,
I've said this before but I'l say it again, simple is always best. There's nothing complicated about this song, an acoustic guitar, vocals and lyrics that are about something real.
It's a soft song so I'm not tapping my foot but closing my eyes and really getting lost in the song! The lyrics are about losing someone close to you and the mistakes you make along the way and they're amazing.Vocals are soft, clear and emotion, really brings the lyrics to life. This guys got talent not only in his singing and his guitar but in his song writing if his first song is this good I can't wait to hear what's next.
I couldn't help fall in love with this song everything about it is perfect, defiantly one of my new favourite songs.

I've mentioned 5 piece Heavy rock/punk/pop band Bentley Park before after seeing them live supporting Taking Hayley and now they're back with their single Darker Days.
From the first few seconds and already the guitar riffs are fantastic and get me excited about the rest of the song, when James starts singing I know this is a great song, his vocals are strong, clear and I love the way I can hear his accent. The drums fast and upbeat, same with the bass. The lyrics are probably the most original thing about this song and one of my favourite things especially:'My mind wonders how to deal with the pain.' I can't think of anything bad to say I really loved this song and look forward to seeing this band live again :) Last thing I have to say is about the video and I loved that too! Seeing clips from the gig I was at, seeing my friends and guys just having fun on tour makes for a great video.

We're in Scotland for today's review! 3 guys from Aberdeen make up the Alt/pop/rock band Daydream Frenzy. First heard this band through Twitter.
There EP Colours and Sound.
Intro/Instrumental, 3.15 of fantastic guitar riffs, fast bass lines and powerful drums. It's a great intro but maybe a little too long?
A poppy guitar riffs starts Rearrange Tomorrow it has familiarity to it but I can't pin down what it sounds like! This is the first time you get to hear Donald's vocals, his vocals are just like the guitars fantastic, clear and fit the 'sound' of the band very well. Lyrics are catchy and maybe a little repetitive. I would really like to hear this song live it would be a real high energy, high power song with everyone singing along.
Jade's Song is my favourite! The steady guitar riff, foot tapping drums and Donald's vocals slowly start the song, and within the first 20 seconds I love it. The song get's heaver and more powerful making it real rock song and diffident from the slightly more poppy Rearrange Tomorrow.
When I Say Help I swear It's True. Listening to this song for the first time I was reminded of Blink 182!! Again Daydream Frenzy have crated a great song, I can't think of anything that I obviously didn't like.

Even though this song isn't out yet I had to give it a review as I love it! 4 piece pop rockers The Hush.
And their song We Could Have Had It All.
The first time I heard it I wanted to get up and dance, it's one of those songs that's infectious. A catchy guitar riff that's full of energy and reminds me of the Scouting For Girls song Ain't Love. Drums that keep your head bobbing, bass that keeps your feet moving and vocals that have you singing as loud a you can! The lyrics telling a story of a love lost, which reminds me of Taking Hayley Here I Stand.
I really love it and will be dancing :)

I really need to do this more often but been busy!! Today's band Natives a 5 piece rock/pop band from The New Forest, I first heard this band through Twitter.
There song This Island.
I'm first reminded of All Time Low then Room 94, they're not the most original band I've ever listened to but that doesn't mean they're not good because these's guys are truly great.
My foot never stopped tapping to the beat; the guitar riffs are good and energetic; the vocals are great, I love the way they're sung, the way they're so clear so I can understand every word and I've been singing along.
I really enjoyed this song and the energy of the band as a whole,
I look forward to hearing more.

They're the amazing two welsh brothers otherwise known as Faltered! With a 3 track EP/Album teaser, these brothers have very much there own style of Alternative rock.
This is there self-tiled EP
If This Is A Joke I'm Not Laughing, first song off the EP and set to be a single with a video to be filmed soon! From the first few seconds you can tell Faltered are something different as I've not heard of a song start with a mix of rock guitars and something that sounds slightly jazzy... The jazzy part fades leaving the guitars to come out into there own, the vocals powerful and clear and with more screamo vocals which again are great and clear, I don't know alot about that style of singing but even I can tell it's good. I can't really fault this song it has everything I ask for.
Worth The Wait, I have reviewed this song before and I still stand by what I said, it's my favourite song of Faltered and too me has yet to be topped.
Thanks A Million, softer guitar riff and vocals makes for a more relaxing song and with a drum beat that has my foot always tapping, then at about three minutes the whole song gets a heaver touch the guitar riff faster, the vocals more powerful and the drums faster. This song has the best lyrics with the most meaning but all Faltered songs have meaningful lyrics and it's one of my favourite things about the band. The song ends with a thirty second long soft instrumental.
Another amazing EP from Faltered.
In other Faltered news the album will be coming next year!
