Ok I have been thinking for quite awhile now that there really is so much great music out there in the world and because of various reasons a lot of people never get to hear it so here is what I would like to do here, why dont we introduce ourselves to some new music and here is the criteria that I would like to set.....
post one song from an artist or band who is native to your country and who does not have much international recognition
please explain a little about them, like their history and musical style and who or what they might be similar to and why you think that us U2 fans may like this particular artist or band
please dont make it to obscure- make sure that the song can be easily downloaded from sources such as KAZZA etc
and when you have listened to the song thta you have downloaded, please post a reply and what you thought of the song......
and I guess to keep it contemporary, please choose songs from artists who are still alive, current and making music,
now i really do think that with this we could start something quite unique and experience some really great music.........so here goes I will start it off.......
SONG: Chemical Heart
ARTIST: Grinspoon
This is a soft rocking song by Grinspoon standards and it was very popular in both the mainstream and alternative charts here in Australia at the start of the year. Grinspoon have been around for about 7 years and they come from the northern part of New South Wales, they were discovered by one of the national alternative radio stations here when they did a region by region 'un-earthing' or talent scout of Australia and Grinspoon were from the first region to be 'un-earthed'. This song is from their new album and I think that it really displays how nice Phil's voice can be. I think that a lot of you guys might like Grinspoon as they can rock and I know that a lot of you like to rock
