DWNTWN

It's time for my first music based post and today I would like to introduce you all to DWNTWN, (a band that a good friend pointed me in the direction of).

DWNTWN are an electro-pop three piece group hailing from Los Angeles.  They released two EPs in 2012; Cowboys & The Red Room , both of which are brilliant pieces of work.  The songs themselves are very catchy, and you'll find yourself returning to them countless times.  I feel they are not as big as they should be but here's to hoping that 2013 will be the year that more and more people discover them & the quality music they produce.

I'm not overly great at writing about music and feel that the best way to know if you are going to like a band is not to read about the songs indepth but to listen to them.  With that in mind below I have posted the video of their live performance of my personal favourite track 'Believe Me' on The Weekly Comet.

Do check out their website where you can listen to their tracks, and don't forget to give them a follow on Twitter and Like their Facebook page (links posted below video).

The hugely talented Peter Hollens

Here we are again, another post and another video from the internet that hopefully you've yet to discover.

As you have probably guessed from the title, todays video comes from Peter Hollens; a man who does a fair few accapella covers then a music video to go with them.

Now I may be biased but he is a hugely talented man who should (by all rights), be a bigger star than he is. The majority of his covers are better than the originals and his videos have a kind of human touch that is missing from the big superstar counterparts.  Check out the links below for his YouTube, website and Twitter.

So without going on too much here is my own personal favourite; Peter Hollen's cover of 'Some Nights by Fun'.
