Viva Brother

Music monday

   Holy shit do I have a treat for you guys today,
 Ive got a hold of a pre-release of viva brothers first album "famous first words"(Release date august 2nd I think) these guys are gonna be huge.
   
Not since plastic beach have I sat down the night I got the album and listened to every track and then go back to replay a few songs three or four times.
Its funny that I should compare it to a gorillaz album as Viva brother has a producer from blur (that makes two things the blur has made awesome?!)
A quick fun fact about viva brother the bands original name was just brother but they ended up in a lawsuit situation cause some band already uses the name  brother , so then they felt brother UK would work but for reasons unknown  to me they dropped that also and have now settled on the title of Viva brother.
 
   Ok down to the nitty gritty my analysis if you will, lets just say this band Is far from the most skilled band ive heard... I mean its a UK alternative rock band( Sorry England but most bands you produce are kinda crap in the skill department at least )  but my god can they write some catchy hooks that stay in your head [see darling buds of may below]  The band sometimes suffers from its own genre's image, a few of the tracks have the same tone, but its not noticeable enough to disturbs a listen through the album. The band has received a lot of criticism for sounding a lot like 'other' bands but I find it to be one more reason to listen. For instance  "High str**t low fiv*s" sounds like a lost rock and roll soldiers track now seeing how the band will never make another track again its almost a treat to hear another band channel the soldiers. All around the album has enough variation that it doesn't feel  like a waste of time.

But now this is an odd position that im in, because do to copy right laws im not even sure If I can tell you guys all the track names without ending up in a courtroom but what I can say Is that The big hit off the album is almost certianly gonna be the single thats already out so I can at least show you that. so sorry  you guys will have to wait til august second for all of the tracks but lemmy just say that the sleeper hit off this album is F*lse *l*rm.

Theres really not much more I can tell you guys without risking some  kind of copy right fuck up so for the time being i'll leave you with the single "darling buds of may"


I hope you'll all rape the replay button as much as I do, I really think these guys could become huge, I'll be going (fingers crossed) to a private show down at the hard rock of these guys!!
Be sure to check out the album on august 2nd
At this point I'll leave you to it ,
This dom saying I'll see you at your next dose and may the council take good care of you till next we meet.
