Band Edition: General Fiasco

I found them through Burberry acoustic session on YouTube, here & they stole my attention in a heartbeat. 

The Irish-born band, General Fiasco, represent the sound of British rock with catchy lyrics. You can imagine three young lads kicking up the amplifier with a gentle rock, not too loud but enough out of their songs. Nevertheless, they also nailed the acoustic version of their songs without losing their basic identity.

There was a bit of change in formation when their former drummer decided to moved to the States. Stephen from the rhythm guitar assigned to take roll on the drum and recently they just added new additional guitarist, Stuart. And guess what? they still sounded rad. Owen's high note voice, the vocalist, set the particular signature sign of the band so nobody would miss interpret General Fiasco with another band.

Their debut album, Buildings, consist of 15 tracks includes 4 acoustic version. Ever So Shy chosen as the hit single from the album and I could not agree more. Their song titles and lyrics are simple, easy to relate with young generation nowadays. Totally worth to notice. Here's their Myspace & official video of Ever So Shy

Band Edition: The Scene Aesthetic

They are The Scene Aesthetic consist of two young americans, Andrew De Torres and Eric Bowley. You will fall for them within the minute their songs caught your ears, just like I did. Their easy-listening, semi-acoustic set only with guitars, a little touch of electro-keyboard & melts my heart immediately.

 The combination between two different types of voice sounds like as if it was a match made in heaven. Some says lyrics are the heart beat in a song, The Scene Aesthetic provide such enticing lyrics no-junk-kind-of-shit. Of course, the lyrics are mainly revolves around love, but TSA managed not to make it sound all to soppy and bullshit. It sounds sincere at its best. 

Their recent album is Brother and Sisters; 18 tracks 3 acoustic version -- with the single, Beauty In The Breakdown. But my personal favorite song have to be Landon's Summer Diary. Or Never gonna let this go. Ah, it is quite hard to choose. You go on decide yourself. Buy the album on iTunes. Totally worth to hear & buy! Enjoy!

Here's their myspace, twitter and YouTube.
