New Era? New Sounds? NewIslands !

Photobucket





NewIslands seem to have stormed onto the radar at the end part of 2009 and are now being tipped by various blogs including Digital My Ass as the band to watch out for in 2010...New Era, New Sound, NewIslands...so it would seem! And with Everyone's a DJ Has gone as far as to say the band are a degree above Miike Snow .

For me NewIslands merge most of the sounds from my favourite bands, past and present ... Shivers has The darkness of Echo and the Bunny man with the same stylistics of Miike Snow Burial, Paradise is a pop classic waiting to happen and Out of Time takes elements of MgMt and turn it on its side and into an anthem any festival could be proud of...Out of Time is a song that we should all be humming Reading 2010 ! and then theres the more interesting sounding tracks like Girl from Venus with its Acid Casualty sound circa 67, that shows the bands love for music like The Doors, Japan and Syd Barret... With such an eclectic bunch of songs there actually is something for all ears!

I Mean you should really check them out for yourselves - NewIslands and what I suggest you do is catch them live in December @ 229 ...as the live experience is something else and brings across a totally different (equally as epic) vibe to the tracks on the myspace.

I have heard through the grapevine, that there's a few more sneaky remixes lurking about... I know for sure of Out of time (Is Tropical Remix) and of course the amazing Active Child Remix, but i have also heard of a possible remix by serious lover, new band, Breton and aka Disco as well as other's but that's all shhh shh at the moment! so its exciting times for NewIslands....

With all this happening in less than a year (the band formed in march)
It leaves you wondering what they will have for us this time next year? if justice is served, the band should be signed, on a world tour, and living the dream! I'm sure they will be! x
