“We get tied up in the moment”

Carl Barat and The Jackals released their debut album Let It Reign (2015) before Carl Barat went back to the circle jerk that is The Libertines. Carl has a fondness for bands like The Clash, The Velvet Underground and Nirvana. One of three singles off Let It Reign was Glory Days, a song The Guardian called “a guttural, Clash-like, homage” from an album NME felt “crackles with delinquent fervor.” Glory Days is an apocalyptic rocker with a ska undertone and a fucking belter to boot.

“You can say goodbye to the last gang in town”

The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - Parade of Lights

Parade of Lights are an indie dance band aiming for a rebel without a pause moment in Burn (Sept’14). With incendiary lyrics like “Common let’s ride, we’ll take on the world tonight” it’s clear ‘the man’ everywhere is shiteing it, bracing for worldwide social revolution.

 

But just like Twisted Sister’s We’re Not Gonna Take It if you’re up for some bedroom rebellion, up for the ride, it can be all good anthemic fun. A rock drum beat and some indie guitar keep this song grounded while the synths and vocals send it soaring.

Parade of Lights describe themselves as an electronic rock band and bound out of The City of Angels. They’ve been lighting up the place since 2012. Burn is the fourth track beaming off their second E.P. Golden(March’14).

The band have been compared in favourable light to Imagine Dragons, MGMT and M83. The band have expressed a like of My Bloody Valentine, Failure and Depeche Mode.

Didn't need turned on to more? You're gonna miss out on Golden and We’re The Kids in a flash.

 

 

 

Slippery seconds go to AWOLNATION THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT (2013) because it's a fat cock song.

If you don't like it .  Well you know.
