The Motion Sick – The Truth Will Catch You, Just Wait…

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

cover1

I am nearly at the end of my first listen of this album, and I have already decided that it will definatly be getting many more listens in the coming days and weeks.
First thing first- The Motion Sick are an Indie/rock band from Boston in the United States. And The Truth Will Catch You, Just Wait… is their 2008 album. The harder stuff, the softer/slower stuff, and the ridiculously catchy stuff- this album gives you everything you could ask for from an indie/rock release.
Standout songs that should give you an idea of what The Motion Sick are all about include: Tiny Dog (Nobody Cries), which kind of sounds like an irish sing-a-long song set to country-ish acoustic music; Losing Altitude, which falls into the softer and “ridiculously catchy” category I mentioned above; and Jean-Paul, a simple easy to sing-a-long to indie/rock song.
If i had some sort of rating system, such as thumbs, The Truth Will Catch You, Just Wait… would definatly fall in the higher end of the scale (perhaps using thumbs wasn’t a good idea here, since that would make the highest score 2)
All in all, a very enjoyable album, and I certainly hope to hear more of The Motion Sick in the future.
You can download this album (minus 1 song- Love Will Tear Us Apart, being a cover it has copyright issues and such which stop it being availabe for free) here.
If you like this, don’t forget to check out their official site, where you can also download this album or their previous album for free (although there is nothing stopping you from donating!)

Eating Pebble

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Today I would like to introduce you to Eating Pebble – an indie/rock band from Sweden.
Eating Pebble are…well, an indie/rock band from Sweden, as stated above. With a really catchy sound that is kind of like a halfway point between early Shout Out Louds work and Millencolin, Eating Pebble is my personal favourite discovery of recent times.
But instead of blabbering on trying to explain what they sound like too much, why not take a listen for yourself? They have two (YES, TWO) free EP’s on offer, both of which you can download by clicking on the images below.
2 EP’s, 7 songs, and only around 20MB for both, YOU’D BE STUPID (or on a really shitty internet, or you might have other reasons, WHO AM I TO JUDGE?) NOT TO DOWNLOAD.
After you have listened to Sammi! Oh, Sammi! and Summer Soundcheck, go and check out their official site! You can listen to their latest release (an album!) in full, but you won’t be able to legally download it for free. I highly suggest purchasing it though!

Sammi! Oh, Sammi!
