Video Alert! Mimi Soya - I Told You So

Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing... burrrrrrrrrr (drum roll) MIMI SOYA! I love these guys at the moment; the fresh female-fronted pop-rock quartet from Brighton are ready to 'take on the world with their huge pop anthems, sunny, addictive melodies and stirring guitar riffs' and I hope the world is ready for them!

Introducing: WeCaughtTheCastle!

Last week my band (Birds In Flight) played with the very cool WeCaughtTheCastle. I know it's been a really long time since I last posted, and I do want to get back into introducing new music again, so what better way to start than with these hard-rocking guys (and gal!) from Reading.

With a wicked mix of post-hardcore and pop-punk flavours, this hard-rocking quintet really do hit hard with a massive, charismatic set. Their live shows certainly don't pull any punches; it's too easy to label them as a younger Paramore, these guys are definitely developing their own sound and their song-writing ability reaches far beyond their tender years. Their creativity and expressive qualities are clearly evident and they're definitely a band to look out for; I urge you to catch them live the next time they're playing near you.

Featured below is their video for the fabulous song 'Lips' and you can check out the band's Myspace page for all their latest shows, pics and more.
