Big Success

I haven't posted on music in a while but approximately thirty minutes ago I discovered through a friend's Facebook post of a Tweet and exciting new-to-me band: Big Success. The British (I assume they refer to UK-based Norwich) trio of Dudley, Darren, and Mikey have an up-tempo rock with a splash of punk and a little pop. They list themselves as fans of The Replacements on their Facebook page. I was instantly a fan of their music, via bandcamp. I am also a fan of their self-description:

"Three grown men who get on really well.Some people think our songs are too short. We think everyone else's are too long."

They have all of two EPs - one from 2009 and one that has time-traveled from its listed release date of June 2012. Please note that it is only the month of five in the year of twelve. Perhaps there is more to come before it's official release? They have a show in Brighton, UK next week.

Anyway, you should check them out. More information can be found on Tumblr and Twitter.

Diatomaceous Earth

My friend, that I previously have posted on, has re-started a music project of his. It is an interesting sound, to say the least. It is a mix of experimental, electronic, hip hop, and rap. Though it may be an acquired taste, it is definitely worth a listen. Your can download a 2006 album and a 2011 single from Bandcamp and you can find Diatomaceous Earth on Facebook. Take a listen below and see what you think.

Enjoy.
