Introducing: The High Learys!

Our next discovered talent is a band of great artistry, The High Learys! The Australian band popped up to us on a scroll through Youtube, and we were blown away. With Matt Williams on guitar, Jamie Turner on vocals/bass, Micheal Hutt on the organ and Adrian Macmillan on drums, the four combine to make a fantastic mix of psych, rhythm and blues and freakbeat! The High Learys formed in 2011 in their hometown of Perth, and were not so long after signed to the German music label 'Soundflat'. In May this year they released their delightful debut album 'Here Come The High Learys', an astounding mix of songs, one of which is our favorite 'you've got what i need'.

 The high learys are massively influenced by us beloved Brits and mod culture, always dressed the sharpest possible. Their sound is clearly very much inspired by the likes of The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and The Kinks. We simply adore the 60's vibe their music gives off! After countless hours of listening to their album on repeat, we decided our favorite song of theirs has got to be 'You've Got What I Need', with its upbeat tempo and exploding energy of rhythm ,its an instant mood lifter! We can clearly tell by their work they have a very deep and admirable passion for music and everything they do. 

 Also, The High Learys are currently doing a European tour, stopping by at Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and most excitedly Britain! If you hope to be giving one of their gigs a visit, they are still taking place this month and carring on through next month too, or if you want to look into getting your hands on some tickets for one, check out their websites for more information here: http://thehighlearys.com/

Overall, we think The High Learys are a hell of a lot more than just 'recommendable', we really do hope to hear a lot more of them in the future, and we're certainly sure we will. We advise you all to give these guys a good listen or you're missing out on a great deal of good music, so here's a few links to our favorite songs of theirs for you to check out :
                                           You've Got What I Need
                                           Peace Of Mind
                                           Let You Down

That's enough of our tales of first-rate music for this week, although we could go on for hours. Thank you all for taking a look at our blog and giving it a read, we hope you all enjoyed our nattering on about our love of good real music.

Introducing: Ryan Jarvis!

First of all, before we natter away about the wonderful Ryan Jarvis, we'd like to apologize for the lack of posts (none at all) recently. We've been up to our eyeballs in GCSE coursework and art has drained every drop of creativity and time out of us. We really are sorry and from now on will keep the blog posts flowing.

Now for the one and only lovely Ryan Jarvis, a fresh faced young musician from marvelous Manchester. Similar to the likes of Jake Bugg and Bob Dylan, his acoustic tracks have a very homely and hearty feel to them. His debut EP 'outside this town' consists of sweet symphonies such as 'outside this town', and 'shine for me', which was released not so long ago and is now available to buy.

Ryan Jarvis is often playing glorious gigs in and around Manchester, the most recent of which in the ruby lounge which we unfortunately just missed. His classic country chorus's and extreme talents have attracted many frantic fans, even the likes of Miles Kane cant resist Jarvis's charismatic coos. Our favorite piece of his has to definitely be 'shine for me', with its soothing vocals and gentle guitar, he's really got us dying for more. Overall we think Ryan Jarvis is a great talent, who has a lot more heading his way and hopefully has a lot more to bring to the world of real music in the anticipated future, we also hope to be giving a visit to his next gig and will share every detail of its glory in yet another post soon to come!

we highly recommend giving his website (http://ryanjarvismusic.co.uk/) a quick glance, and allowing your ears a pleasured few minutes to give these tunes a listen:
