How To Find New Music

How To Find New Music

Hiya lovelies! 

Now as you can probably guess I am obsessed with music and finding new bands (currently listening to new music as I write this). I recently read a couple of blog posts were people have given their tips on how they find new music so because I've been doing this for a number of years I thought I would share my recommendations. 

Spotify

This is a great way of finding new music from all around the world. Although this way you aren't guaranteed to find a Justin Bieber as I yet to come across an artist from there to make it big time. I do find Spotify to have a LOT of songs on their playlists but if you know what style of music you like its great! Sadly I like to listen to most genres so it gets difficult. 

They also various 'new music' type playlists that are updated weekly so that you can enjoy new music all the time. I've found some great artists using Spotify, definitely worth ago. It's also definitely worth the £10 a month I pay, but they also do a free version and they have student discounts I believe (not 100% sure about that because I'm not a student).

Hiya! 
For those of you who don't know I love listening to new music. It makes sense that because I have a blog, that I occasionally share some new tracks I've found with the world. 

Do you like Haim, the girl pop rock trio from the US? I definitely think you need to give this track a listen, it reminds me a lot of some of their work but for me I find it more kick ass than Haim. I think I'm starting to love the electro-pop sound because for me this song just does it, even from the first listen.

Listen to | YOUNG KATO

This band deserves so much more recognition that it has! Formed in 2011, I first saw them when they supported Spector at Gloucester Guidhall back in 2012 and since then I have been in love. They have come on so much - supporting You Me at Six and having their first headline tour. Yesterday they also announced they are supporting AWOLNATION. You may recognise them from the British show Made in Chelsea, where their music is regularly played and there's also been a Young Kato gig shown in series 5.

Their sound is very indie but having 6 members in the band is going to make it unique right?! 1 on vocals, 2 on guitar, 1 on bass, 1 on keyboard and 1 on drums. Sounds crazy doesn't it? How about you take a listen to their latest release 'Help Yourself' and tell me what you think.
