Video of the Day #73: Matt Kline

No Comments

I just watched this video half a dozen times in a row and absolutely love it. Therefore I have to share it with you. Matt Kline was a member of The Fox Hunt and he also wrote plenty of amazing songs for them. Even though I don’t really like the name of the band, I really love their music and the previous album Long Way To Go was the album of the year 2010 here at onechord.net. After the album Matt Kline quit the band and that was a big shock because I think he wrote and sung many of those Fox Hunt songs that I loved the most. But he didn’t quit music completely and I’ve been following his Facebook page since I noticed there was one. Tonight he posted this video and even though this is just a live video, I love this so dearly and keep on watching it over and over again.

(and if the person who shot this video, wants me to remove it, I will do that. I just had to post this live video because Matt Kline is so brilliant and so unknown).

Video of the Day #72: The Wicked Whispers

No Comments

This is something I picked from the latest Shindig! Magazine (still by far the finest rock magazine there is). The Wicked Whispers comes from Liverpool and they seem to be stuck in the psychedelic sixties. But hey, if you have to be stuck in somewhere, that would be high up on my list as well. Their debut EP The Dark Delights of The Wicked Whispers came out on 6th of june 2011 and this fabulous tune entitled Amanda Lavender is an outtake from that EP.

Video of the Day #71: Radio Days (Italian power pop)

1 Comment

I can’t say I’m a big expert on Italian power pop. Pretty much only Cirrone comes to mind whose new album has gotten a great reception at various power pop blogs (and the sound samples do sound excellent). Anyway, last week I noticed that a band called Radio Days was following my twitter and after checking out their influence list that looked like the list of best bands in the world (Badfinger, Big Star, The Nerves, DM3, Teenage Fanclub, Cherry Twister..) I knew I have to listen to this band. I’m now streaming their latest album C’est La Vie at Rockit.it and even though I’m only halfway through I think it’s already fairly obvious that I need this album. The album came out in late 2010 if I’m not mistaken. This video outtake is called Sleep It Off.

Video of the Day #70: Eilen Jewell

No Comments

New Eilen Jewell album Queen Of The Minor Key was released by Signature Sounds in late june. I still haven’t bought it, but I’ve been watching her new video Warning Signs over and over again and it’s getting more and more obvious that I will miss a great deal if don’t buy this beauty. I just love this little song. So catchy.
