2010... The year of men ?

So it was said that 2009 was the year of females..... Is 2010 going to be the year of men ?
By looking at the end of year lists and predictions for 2010 it would appear that men are taking back the musical throne.... So here's a few that i think are going to be big in 2010....

It shouldn't work - but this is Gold !

GOLD BLOOD



Gold blood is- collaboration between PhD student Emile Bojesen and keyboard enthusiast Michael Anthony Wright - Well so there Muxtape says!

These 2 have managed to fuse what at some moments comes across as hardcore spoken poetic style vocals with synthy and somewhat 80's musical styling, but don't get me wrong they are nothing like that 80's synth crap that's been filling the airwaves for far to long!
Far from it, Gold Blood are a mix of hardcore, punk, classic pop form, rock and experimental electronics!!! On paper it shouldn't work, but it does......Brilliantly !

Songs like Well City, start with a dreamy, eerie introduction and then Emile's rock vocal bring it into a catchy chorus. Then there's "Another World" which comes across as the most accessible track, the song seems influenced by the best bits of the 80's but has been given a new and unique twist! Its a song I could put on repeat...

My Favorite track on the Human Shield E.P is Hair - Seems to be the bands most experimental track - industrial sounds with hunted drawn out vocals - makes for uneasy easy listening !

Looking forward to seeing them live -
