Raptusound

Here is another band from Leicester!! I heard of them last year during the Oxjam festival in Leicester (where I was of course). I couldn't see their whole set but I saw 2 or 3 songs. I quite liked what I heard but there was sooo many good bands on that day that I couldn't meet everybody!!!

Then a friend of mine asked me to promote a gig where they were playing so I had another listen to this band and suddenly remembered what I heard live and since I wanted to introduce them here but as you could notice, I was too busy out of the internet world and was unable to promote my new loves!!!!

Raptusound is a brand new band, they formed after last summer so they're going to celebrate their First year as a band and what a first year it was!!!! 

You can find: 

Christopher Brown on the Vocal and Guitar

Leigh Dunning at Synths and Keyboard
Jack Liquorish at the bass 

Tristan Owen at the drums

They're playing and electro-rock music. If you were fan of Muse when they begun or even Radiohead then you might adore their music. Their sound is loud but melodic at the same time, once you heard a song, you wanna hear the others. Of course, Christopher's voice is what makes you feel like flying with the birds while you're just listening to some music. You can NOT move your head on the rythm of Raptusound's music. 

If Top of The Pops was still active (here in France) I would love to see them on that stage surrending by red, pink and orange lights. 

Raptusound is singing some poetry.

They're quite often on stage since they begun, they will be playing twice during the Strawberry Fields Festival. One electic set and one accoustic and I think that everybody should see the 2 sets.

For the moment, my favorite song is Alibi which you can hear on the following video. But I don't know all of their songs yet! ;)

 

You can find the band on their Official Website , Official Facebook page , Twitter page , Reverbnation page ,Listen to their music on their  SoundCloud page and watch some good videos on their Youtube page .

Leigh, Jack, Christopher, Tristan

They're gonna be on tour after the summer, in England en even for some dates in Europe so open your eyes and ears!

The Vanishing Point

If you remember, I spoke on this blog about a nice young man called Danny Greet. 

I told you about his solo career after being in a band called The Manhattan Project. Well, now Danny is back with 2 ex-members of the band and they are now The Vanishing Point.

I've been lucky enought to be able to see them playing their first gig in Leicester as a support band for Modern Faces and I can tell you that they should be signed by a label. 

The Vanishing Point is composed by:

Danny Greet at the Vocals, Guitar and Bass

John Molnar at the Bass, Guitar and Vocals

Sid Barrett at the drums.

They're playing a good angry loud rock with a bit of pop and a few folk's bit hiding somewhere.

They only have 1 song to share with the world at the moment but will get more soon. You can have a listen to that song on their Soundcloud .

I'll tell you more about them later when they will get more to share . ;)

If you're in the Leicestershire's area, you can always see them at a gig as they're quite often on the bill of several venues in Leicester. :)

I will personnaly see them again at the Strawberry Fields Festival next weekend so if you're going, don't forget to have a listen at them on the friday!!!!!
