Have you ever gone through a phase where you're into listening to a band or a type of band or a particular genre, and you a hear a new song that you should like, but it doesn't immediately grab you, but when you rediscover it (so to speak) at a later date, it's like a auditory epiphany? That's me and music discovery in a nutshell. My musical choices are very much driven by my mood, time of day, weather, etc. For example, if it's late in the evening and I'm trying to wind down, I might be in a, oh I don't know...Massive Attack sort of mood. If I'm surfing around and discover a band who is the second coming of Led Zeppelin, I'm probably going to listen to their song (or part of their song) and move along. When I discover something that's in line with what my brain says is a-okay, it can be life changing. Seriously. Other times, it's just right time, right place to discover a new tune that moves me, for whatever reason.
Tonight, I stumbled upon a band named Broken Hands and, in particular, their song 'If You Need To Lie'. Now, I couldn't say that their sound was what I was on the prowl for, but when the drum fill kicks in, I was definitely curious. By the first chorus, I was hooked. It's a sound that I can best describe as a slab of early Black Rebel Motorcycle Club meets catchy-as-fuck. It's a definite improvement over having the theme song for Jake and the Neverland Pirates stuck in my head, but don't worry about that. Check it out for yourself:
