Been listening to this for like a week, it has to be the tune of 2007!!! It's awesome, heard it loads in nights out too. Her voice is beautiful, even when she talks...makes you melt.
I got her album today and it's soooooooooo ****ing hot.
Everyone check it out, I insist. It's just full - end to end - of amazing choons. This girl is cute. I haven't heard an album this satisfying from start to finish since Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B.

I can tolerate Lily Allen, but Kate Nash is beyond me. I can't see anything outstanding about it at all. She's purposefully making herself sound charva, and there is nothing particularly good about the songwriting either, its dire. I love how NME slated her to hell after her first single, but when 'Foundations' came out, they loved her, and everything was forgotten, regardless of the fact she was still capable of the toss that was, and still is 'Caroline is a Victim'...
Check out Incubus' early stuff, they had a pretty decent line in funk-metal going on, they've gone through many different phases, all of them inifintely more interesting than any of the aforementioned whiny emo.
I've not posted in here for faaar too long!
Earlier in this topic I mentioned Biffy Clyro and how everyone should check them out. I stand by this opinion even moreso now after having seen them at Leeds Festival, where they played what is widely being touted as their best ever performances, with the Reading leg actually culminating in some guitar-burning antics.
While I have got the full back-catalogue of theirs in my posession, i've been listening more to the current album 'Puzzle' more than anything recently, and the more I listen to it, the more I love it, and the more powerful it becomes. Its one of those albums that just has to be listened to really loud to appreciate the full power and ferocity of it. It may be a little more radio-friendly than their previous releases, but its by no means a washed-out affair. The lyrics on this album pretty much exclusively relate to the death of frontman Simon Neil's mother close to the commencement of recording. The emotional rollercoaster (lolz, i just said rollercoaster on a coaster forum) that must have ensued is plain to see on the album too. From the despair of tracks like 'Living's A Problem Because Everything Dies' to the small glimmer of hope that is final acoustic track, and new single 'Machines', the latter being one of the most emotional tracks i've heard recently, but is still thoroughly amazing. Frustrations were seemingly taken out on the instruments too, there is some sheer energy going on throughout the album. The emotions leading up to the album, while surely terrible, have built a very fine album indeed.

Everyone needs to see the energy in the liveshow, here with 'Get (naughty word I can't say, beginning with a 'f' and ending with an '-ucked') Stud'

...and here with 'Living is a Problem Because Everything Dies'

There'd be a better quality version of the first track too if the BBC didn't have a southern bias and would've but the Leeds performance online too...

Dunno what everyone has against Kate Nash, i never thought she was special, and i didn't expect much from the album, but after giving giving it a listen yesterday i thouroughly enjoyed it. Thats all the matters right? I'd only skip maybe...one track on the album, quite an acheivement with my attention span.
Foundations is a great tune too, and being a little welsh farm boy, her southern accent makes me cream.
And..damn right! That was another album i totally didn't expect to be so good, love it. Her story in the music industry is interesting too.

I'll third Guillemots, its really nice music. Best way to describe it really, its stuff you can always happily listen to, but doesn't necessarily stand out as it should. Frontman Fyfe Dangerfield is one of the nicest blokes in rock, and a true music geek too.
While i'm here, i've been listening to System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian's solo efforts. His new single 'Empty Walls' is exceptional. It is just System really. The wackiness is still there, the perfect blend of heavy and catchy (maybe a bit less on the heavy), and the political element is still there in force. The video shows that up; its a very clever one with basically a war situation going on, but acted out by kids in a nursery. I'm surprised no-one's claimed it to be controversial really, there's some plays on pretty famous wartime activities in there. Excellent track though, and an excellent video. I'm really looking forward to the album.
