Creeping Through My Neighbourhood

During my morning beautification rituals music, of course, must be present. My latest go to has been Pandora’s “Alternative Endurance”. It shares a variety of Florence and The Machine, Shiny Toy Guns, Calvin Harris, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and this morning, much to grandest surprise, - THE NEIGHBOURHOOD! As I was applying my third layer of mascara I hear a familiar beat and marveled at the similarity to The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather”. Of course, as the track continued to play it really was The Neighbourhood on Pandora! One of the biggest thrills of writing and sharing new and upcoming bands is the hopes that the masses find them as intriguing as the folk over at Bite Me! Music and Fashion.

The Neighbourhood: Live At House Of Blues

The first night I became acquainted with The Neighbourhood it was at little old Casbah where the lead singer "fuck"ed this and "fuck"ed that to deceive the listener that all five were much older and wiser. However, there was no need for this at San Diego’s House of Blues. The band demanded and happily received credibility as artists. Appearing to have learned a thing or two while traveling abroad with Temper Trap and now with the assistance of Paul Banks, from Interpol, their music has been fine tuned to suit the ears of a wider range of listeners. 

The Neighbourhood – I’m Sorry…

(the [r]evolve group)    GO!

Today I get to introduce you to some new music. The band is called The Neighbourhood and, no, they’re not from the UK but L.A. This five piece have been busy getting out their debut EP via download on their website www.thenbhd.com and touring wherever they can to get their music heard. I’m Sorry.. is comprised of five tracks that blend in smooth beats with a hip-hopesque sound, raspy jazz vocals, and catchy verses. The two singles currently out on YouTube (“Female Robbery” and “Sweater Weather”) sum up The Neighborhood’s work and it’s nowhere near disappointing, but far from being easy to pluck out of your mind.
