The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - Kodaline

Kodaline have drawn comparisons with U2 and Coldplay but this song, Ready, is more Kings of Leon, Mona or Smoke and Jackal.
 

 

 

Ready(Jan'15) is an earnest, emotive indie rock song. All the edges are smooth, the production swell and indicative of a band ready for the big show. An uplifting ‘carpe diem’ song with just a hint of Irish and more than a dash of in the house of the Lord.

“Cause yeah, I’m sure your parents probably said it to you,

Follow what you love and you will love what you do”

 

 

Kodaline are a band from Dublin, Ireland making sweet alternative rock music since 2005. Ready is off their second revelation Coming Up For Air (Feb'15).

Shit you need to know:

Divine inspiration comes from Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and others.

Harry Styles of One Direction wrote the Kodaline song Make It Feel Right(2015).

The producer of Coming Up For Air also did graft for U2, One Direction, Weezer and Taylor Swift.

Want some more hymns? Preaching to the choir? Try All I Want or Brand New Day. Both are pearlers.

Slippery seconds goes to American/English alternative rock band Pure Love. Bury My Bones (2012) is Pure Love's debut single and their best. The band have one long player, Anthems (2013) and a short player to their credit.
