Mr Knights 5 Albums for now...

1.The Fratellis - Costello Music

My album for the now. If you like that British, garagy kinda vibe, then go get this album. Nice and pacy, with a good deal of jumping up and down songs. Good for waking you up in the morning. Similar to Arctic monkeys, The libertine's or maybe slightly The Hives.

Recommended songs - no1. Henrietta, Chelsea dagger and "Got na nuts from a hippy" are my fav's from this album.

2. The National - Boxer

Everyone needs a album to put on and sit back with a glass of red wine to relax and blow off some steam, this right here is perfect in that regard. Or even for long distance driving. Similar sound to "Kings of Leon" which you can read more about on Mr Dade murphy's post. The drummer needs an applause after every song, have not heard a drummer play with such conviction in a long time.

Recommended songs - " Mistaken for Strangers" and "Fake Empire" sets the tone and "Start a war" is super...

3. Rooney - Rooney

Self titled debut album. Teenage feel good catchy-tuned album that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Love the bear on the cover. If you like "Mika" you will like these guys. Sadly i have to admit i found them while watchin The OC series on DVD, yes i do watch soapy kinda chik-like series..HaHaHa

If you like the harder stuff, give this one a skip, only for the soft-inside gay kinda guys, but a must for all girls. Songs to look out for - "Shakin", "Daisy Duke" and "Im a terrible person"

4. My Chemical Romance - Three cheers for sweet revenge
Yes this is not their more famous last album, but i think their best work was done before the famous last days of The black parade. Rougher raw-er and a lot more soul to this album, love the anger right here. This album reminds me of the late 90's with the likes of Blink's beginnings and Nirvanas end. Sound is very similar to "Finch" and maybe a angrier version of Good charlotte... if that is allowed to be said?

Do not listen to this while driving as taking out the idiot taxi might seem like a great idea with this playing loudly..!! Classic songs - "Helena", "You know what they do to guys like us in prison" and definatly "Im not okay (i promise)" are my fav's but there are many sides to the romance...

5. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In
What happened to Nick in his youth nobody will ever know... but what we all have from that is his painfull balads. Poety recital with a band playing in the background, not going to put you in a party mood but on a lonely cold evening with only your thoughts, this would be perfect.
I will never be able to completely describe why i like this kind of music but for some reason it all makes sense, buy the album, listen and make up your own mind... but please dont go through life without going into The CAVE!!

Some of you might recognise "Red Right Hand" from the X-files soundtrack..
Other great songs - "Loverman" , "Thirsty Dog"... Dark as it should be...

I hope this keeps you going for a while...
