Editor's ABC's : Gorilla Warfare Tactics, Hadouken!, and Interpol

     Welcome once again to an adventure through the past and my itunes library. This week has been very hectic so to start lets slow it down a notch.

       For those of you without perfect memories lets stroll through time and revisit our artists for G... Gabriel Stark, Gemini, Grieves, and Grilled Lincolns.

    Gorilla Warfare Tactics, are a very chill hip hop trio from New York City. Keep in mind I use "hip hop" very loosely, their style is a tough one to label, infusing old school spirit with new school technology and instrumentation. Their mixtape, Premier, although short packs a massive punch and was a smash hit on the sites that were lucky enough to feature it. So grab it up and show some love.


     For H we've hadHandsome Furs, Hartford, Hoodie Allen, Hope Of The States, and Hudson Mohawke.

     Hadouken! Brush of that fireball and get on your feet! From London, UK, with love Hadouken! may be the most annoying band to try and find at your local record store, when I went when it was first released I had to wait a month and a half for it to be shipped in from the UK. But by George it was worth it. For The Masses, has been shaking my speakers and my expectations for just over a year now and I still haven't gotten past how damn amazing it is. Combining drum and bass, hip hop, pop punk,  and just about everything else into a hard hitting, skull cracking, thrill ride of an album Hadouken! is not an act to be missed.


     Amazingly enough we've only had to artists for our next alphabetical sequence, I Set My Friends On Fire and Innerpartysystem, both of which are more than worth a download.

      Now we get into the section I was most looking forward to, Interpol. A three piece post-punk revival band from NYC, Interpol is that kind of music that at the start I was very tentative to invest in. The Heinrich Maneuver was playing on Much Tv almost constantly and truthfully it got annoying after oh... the second round, (keep in mind this is before I really got into music). One day I happened across their album Our Love To Admire on sale and took a chance, and I never went back. Our Love To Admire is an amazing rendition of a broken heart, full of cryptic riddles and soul searching poetry, there is not a day that couldn't be brought down to earth by it. So if you have the time give it a try, I promise it won't disappoint.


     Thanks again for stopping by, if you enjoyed the music today please support the artists and take a trip over to our Facebook page and show some love.
