Song of the Day (Drunken Lullabies) 05.17.13

I've made it through the week of 15 hour days. God damn. I knew I'd be dragging but I didn't expect to be hurtin' this much by the end of it. Oh well, I survived right? Onto the Guinnes, meat, and potatoes!

Right and I suppose some music.

I'm not diving into it tonight. Take it for what you want. I just don't have much to say about either song. They just feel right and dammit, you're going to enjoy them (I hope).

Song one is just unavoidable. I've posted some music by them before but I just have to share some more with you today. I found them back during my freshman year in high school and have loved them ever since. Their energy, stage presence, lyrics, melodies, fun attitude, and the fact that they are Irish. As I'm sure you guessed it, this is Flogging Molly with "Drunken Lullabies" (which I'm sure perfectly sums up what the next week with encompass).

Cliche much?




Song number two comes from a completely different direction. For anyone out there who likes Bon Iver or The Black Keys, this should be right up your alley. The next song has the unique, bluesy rock and roll sound of The Black Keys, but is from a band led by Bon Ivar frontman, Justin Vernon. Apparently he felt a little burnt out from Bon Iver and decided to spontaneously form a side group and release a record with them. I just love everything about the new group's sound. Fun. Raw. Dirty. This is The Shouting Matches, "Mother, When?"
