Following in Schonberg's footsteps I attempted to buy 12 albums during 2011. Did I do it? Well as I type this I honestly don't know, so together let's have a look at the albums I bought and see how I got on. As I think it will be close, I'm going to count all albums I bought, whether they were released in 2011 or not - I may revise this if I easily make it! [...]

Hard Fi's "Killer Sounds" is the offspring of 80s pop and NSync. Whether the 90s boy band influence was intentional or not, there is a striking resemblance between "your name keeps running around my brain" and "you've been runnin' through my mind," an Aaron Carter lyric. The uncanny resemblance to 90s pop is the most obvious influence, although it sounds like Hard Fi might have been going for a more Talking Heads type album, or trying to resemble The Killers. Boy pop had to start somewhere, and Talking Heads pioneered a special kind of wacky rock band pop that influenced [...]
Tiësto (formally DJ Tiësto) is actually rumored to be a walking god among men. His legendary DJ sets are known worldwide as commanding works of art. They've encapsulated crowds with a nearly celestial production quality since 94'. Even with all this recognition, he is still constantly looking for new ways to improve his songs, sets, and most importantly his sound. With each new album release during his illustrious career, Tiësto has redefined what it means to be an EDM artist. Here's one of his transcending trance tracks: Break My Fall (Feat. BT) – Tiësto [...]

LeeDM101 - A Better End [ mp3 ] Hard-fi - Better Do Better Chase & Status - End Credits there is no better end these days like this

Back in 2005 my music tastes were somewhat different and in hindsight, depressingly limited. I had a Keane t-shirt, my favourite album was Hot Fuss and I paid £35 to see Franz Ferdinand , Editors and The Rakes .... In the immortal words of Notorious B.I.G. ; 'Things Done Changed' . Alongside the plethora of indie bands that emerged around that period, was the rise of Surrey group Hard-Fi , who heralded the grittier, more downcast aspect of modern music. Song titles such as [...]
It's safe to say that the majority of the world hasn't exactly been on tenterhooks waiting for Hard-Fi 's third album. While their debut Stars Of CCTV had a underdog charm and was of a place and time, the follow up Once Upon A Time In The West saw them fall out of favour and a four year gap will have hardly kept them in the public mindset. Thus the optimistically titled Killer Sounds arrives not to clamorous praise or overwhelming condemnation, but to more of a collective shrug. Unfortunately, the [...]
Depois de dois discos de muito sucesso no exterior, o Hard-Fi lançará o seu terceiro no próximo dia 30. A banda inglesa começou sua carreira em 2003, mas foi em 2005, com "Stars of CCTV", e seus mega tocados singles "Gotta Reason" e "Cash Machine", que a banda foi catapultada para o topo das listas. O novo álbum, "Killer Sounds", mantém vivo o estilo da banda: um post-punk revival mesclado com o new wave dos anos 80, tão em voga hoje em dia. Fiquem com "Fire In The House" e "Good For Nothing", os [...]

O punk modificou o rumo da música pop, nada mais foi o mesmo após a segunda metade da década de setenta. Após toda a revolução musical surgiu a new wave, também chamada de post-punk, que contrabalanceou o movimento com uma cena ora gótica, como Joy Division , ora despreocupada, como B-52's . A influência destes estilos é tão grande que ainda ecoam em 2011, e esse é o caso de Hard-Fi . O quarteto inglês, juntos desde 2003, lança nesta sexta-feira o terceiro álbum de estúdio, Killers Sounds. O disco trás toda a roupagem new [...]

Just in case you haven't had enough Tiesto recently, here's another one of his remixes. Hard-Fi surprised me as their sound is far from what this remix sounds like. In a not so good way. If you weren't aware, Tiesto is headlining the first day of Electric Zoo and with the new sounds he's been putting out, anything is expected. This track was officially released on the 7th and can be purchased on iTunes.
You may remember "Fire In The House" from way back in 2008 when Axwell remixed it twice. This time another big name DJ gives us his interpretation of it all - Tiesto. This premiered on Pete Tong's 'Essential Selection' during the last week of July and has gained a full head of steam till then. Expect more of the trademark Tiesto lead synths and a great drop to boot. Strap on your wings, this will take you to whole new heights! Purchase: Amazon Via: Beat My Day
