Certainly for me this year I have discovered so much new music courtesy of my bestest buds Youtube, Amazon's Music & Spotify that the choice of picking what I like was actually hard to narrow down. There is just so much good music out there.
The following then is just a small taste of what I have been listening to during the past year.
Do I Wanna Know / Arctic Monkeys
I am seriously in love with this song. It's rock. Pure and simple.
Don't Save Me / Haim
A discovery from early 2013, I am just so pleased that they are now getting the attention they deserve with the release of their album, Days Are Gone. Check them out at this year's Laneway Music Festival.
Call Me In The Afternoon / Half Moon Run
Completely unknown here in New Zealand, I've been a fan for awhile now. I just wish they got the attention they deserve.
Blowin Smoke / Kacey Musgraves
I'm not a country and western fan but this song might just convert me. If only all country music was this good.
Counting Stars / One Republic
Don't ask me why I like this song. Because I really have no idea. Sometimes a song will just grab you - even if it's against your better judgement.
The Chapel Song / We Are Augustine
I came across this song totally by accident but I'm so glad I did. It sounds a little like something that The Cure would have done way back in the 80's. And of course being a Cure fan it's no surprise that I loved this song.
Stompa / Serena Ryder
I totally blame Suits for this one. If it hadn't played on the show I probably would never have heard of it.
Night Visions / Imagine Dragons
Not a song but a album because I just can't stop listening to these guys. They are that good. Working Man is probably my favourite song but I recommend that you also check out On Top of the World, It's Time, Fallen, Amsterdam and Radioactive. In fact why not just listen to the whole album.
