WE ALL WANT SOME ONE TO SHOUT FOR
“We All Want Someone To Shout For is the music blog of Will Oliver. It is a blog used to share the best new music with people, and the coolest songs you may have missed from your favorite artists. We All Want Someone is not limited to one genre, or style of posting. Will try’s to give his all in each and every post, complimenting the music he shares with a healthy body of writing. His goal is to spread the word about music and all he needs is someone to share it with! He has a slight obsession with the Arctic Monkeys, but there is plenty of other good stuff to find aside from the boys from Sheffield.” - Will Oliver / www.weallwantsomeone.org
LOC AL NATi ves
In today’s musical climate, it seems that any new band that gets some praise is rushed as the next big thing. Remember our old friends Black Kids? There is an overabundance of new bands out there trying to make a name for themselves. Our job as music fans is to choose who deserves our attention. After all, we are the ones who spend countless hours listening to their music, and making it a part of ourselves.
Local Natives is one of the best new bands around. I truly believe in these guys. They make music that sticks to rock and rolls pure roots, sounding organic and real. Their sound is not easy to describe, because they simply find a way to do it all. They harmonize beautifully, but they also chant. They find a way to pull beauty out of both means. Their harmonies are beautiful, while their compositions are often complex. They can shred on the guitar, and also nail a gentle ballad. This is why I believe Local Natives are one of the greatest indie bands to have graced the scene. Diversity is an important factor to any band. Any one trick pony is bond to die eventually. Local Natives have plenty of guns to stick with.
Local Natives are by far one of the most exciting young bands making music right now. It is going to be exciting to watch them grow this year. They are slotted to play at Coachella this summer, which should get their name further out there. It can be expected that other festivals are not too far out of sight either. Their debut album, Gorilla Manor, is going to be released later this month. It was released to acclaim in the UK, and we can only expect the same from The United States. It is a well balanced debut album that only gets better with more dedication. As the listener, you feel close to the band. You feel that they are singing with you, because, they are. They care about their music, and who is listening to it. Not too many bands have this special connection.
