May Favourites

Well since I have no live shows to see in April or May I thought I would write a post on some of the most recent songs I am loving at the minute....


10. Georgia Sattilites- keep Your Hands To Yourself

My dad used to play this band a lot when I was little, and over the many, many years I had completely forgotten about it. However I heard it on Planet Rock and the memories came back. It's a oldie but it's a classic so it doesn't matter

9. Rammstein- Mein Land

The most recent single by the German heavy metal band. I can't believe it has been over three years since I saw this band at the NEC. But whenever I hear those dirty guitar riffs and the booming German voice, I can't help but crank the volume up and transport myself back to what was the best ever.

8. Metallica- Enter Sandman 

Yes I know you're all nodding your head in agreement. Anyone who tries to say this song is worn out and getting boring can go take a run and jump, cause these guys know how to bring the power. And Enter Sandman is one of the most recognisable songs ever to be created. Especially in the Rock and heavy metal world.

7. We Are Harlot- Dancing On Nails

This my readers is a new band and new single. The band is fronted by the ex Asking Alexandria singer Danny Worsnop. They are nothing like Asking Alexandria, these guys are actually good! 

6. Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Snow 

Who doesn't like the Chilli Peppers seriously? And this song off of the Stadium Arcadium album is utterly brilliant. It isn't one of the bands most upbeat songs but the melody and lyrics are amazing. And it's definitely a kick back sort of track. 

5. Tracer - Too Much 

I love this band! They're a three piece band that are completely dirty hard rock, which is the music I love! It is proper music! How rock music should be... And to add to this short piece, Tracer are doing a UK tour at the end of the year. Tickets are on sale now... If you need to find a ticket source you can go through the Planet Rock website. 

4. Slash - Dirty Girl

This song is off of the World On Fire Album. Myles Kennedy just blows my mind when he sings this track. How his voice can go from soft and melodic to raw is incredible. Also Slash's guitar work just speaks for itself, it can't be recreated. 

3. Piston - Leave If You Dare

I must have seen this band early last year; when they were fairly new and unknown. You can tell these guys are a new band as they are still trying to find their sound, but they're nearly there if this track has anything to go by. The riff and lyrics just work together; and they used a guitar solo!!! Everyone clap and cheer the guitar solo is not lost!!! People are still using them! So you readers go check these guys out, you can go through YouTube to find the video, which is also pretty good. 


2. The Cult - Dirty Little Rockstar

Go Billy Go Billy GO Billy! Yes Billy Duffy working his White Falcon brilliantly in this track! (No that wasn't a sexual innuendo). What I love about a Cult song is its ability to be so simple but become so effective. Duffy's riffs and Astburys sultry tones and bizarre lyrics just work and this song, each time I've heard it, live and on disc it just keeps getting  better! 

1. Faster Pussycat - Power and The Gloryhole 

Back to hair metal days we go! This band were huge in the 80s along with the likes of Cinderella, Poison, Tyketto and Motley Crüe. These songs were just pure Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll. Just the way I like em! Hearing this song just makes me want to let my hair down, drink Whiskey and dance like no one is watching! 

Well there you have it my May favourites. If you also are listening to some awesome tracks right now new or the golden oldies let me know and I could do a feature on them, in a future blog post!
