I haven't made up my mind on this, their comeback single, yet. Tragic Kingdom is my favourite album of all time and I'm not gonna lie I was hoping for more guitar back in their ska. But saying that, this is suprisingly catchy.
Nothing like a bit of Linkin Park to wake you up on a Tuesday morning ...which is like a Monday morning only a day later. This is a nice mellow version though - not quite the one I used to wake me up, but gorgeous and worth listening to.
Friday 13th April 2012, Wembley Arena, London ...Frank Turner absolutely rocked it!
There was an amazing old school spirit to the whole gig. From support act Beans on Toast crowd surfing his way to the back of the arena, to the stewards being overun by people dancing on the balcony, to the entire arena sitting down of their own accord in preperation for the last chorus of Photosynthesis. That's not to mention Frank dragging his mum on stage to play the harmonica, him getting TATTOOED back stage during the gig, dueting a bit of Bob Dylan with Billy Bragg and his amazing cover of Somebody to Love ...I could keep listing magic moments but it just won't do last night justice. You really had to be there.
The video wasn't taken by me (gotta love YouTube) and doesn't do it justice either but still well worth a watch!
I am still buzzing from Monday's line up annoucement. Reading Festival is literally my favourite weekend of the year and just check out those headliners... The Cure, Kasabian and the Foo Fighters. I am soooooo excited.
To be fair last year's 'bogle' of a festival is gonna be pretty hard to beat, but this year's line up is a very good start! YMAS, Florence, The Vaccines, Eagles of Death Metal, The Gaslight Anthem, Kaiser Chiefs ...amazing! Everyone is also raving about Bullet For My Valentine and I hear The Black Keys are brilliant too ..a little bit of YouTubing and Spotify-ing to be done there. Seriously, I'm soooooo excited! August can not come round quick enough...
