Calling Sounds

SOTD: @mlearymusic does a brilliant cover of "True Faith" by New Order. I'm very particular about covers of bands as close to my heart as New Order (being the stubborn, sentimental person I am), but I think this was incredibly well done. open.spotify.com/track/3MOT96sA…

My absence has come to an end! Travelling has been so much fun, but I am also glad to be home. Songs of the day are returning :)

Sorry that I’ve been inactive, I’ve been doing a lot of travelling lately and haven’t really had a moment to sit. Expect more next month from me!

SOTD: "No Matter" by @Sonoaband is such a gorgeous track with full, heavy guitar and bass that, when it hits, makes for such a satisfying payoff. It's like if you took Ben Gibbard's vocals and had Superheaven and Basement collaborate on the instrumentals. open.spotify.com/track/60keW0Kw…

SOTD: "I don't mind" by @TheMercians is a screaming-to-the-chorus-in-the-car type alt rock tune. I've seen this band on my TL a lot the past few days what with a successful festival set, and all of their music is a lot of fun. The next big thing for sure. open.spotify.com/track/7HROxTv7…

@EOTPRecords @therealpaulac No absolutely same here. I always kind of thought I'd be missing something by wearing earplugs but it does really seem to level out the sound in that way!

@therealpaulac @CallingSounds I have gotten so used to it that I hate gigs without ear plugs now. I actually hear more with them in instead of just being deafened by cymbal splashes.

Think I’m going to have to start wearing ear plugs at gigs … few times I was standing near speakers last night and my ears have been popping a few times since Iv come home. The flight prob didbt help either 🤦‍♀️

(They also have 46 monthly listeners and 2 songs so you can tell all your friends you found them first 😉)

SOTD: "False Alarm" by Porcelain is a gorgeous track that reminds me of older Coldplay, especially in the vocals. It is catchy and upbeat yet somewhat spacey/gazey at the same time, feeling kind of bittersweet. I think this song is composed so beautifully. open.spotify.com/track/0xjlSef2…

@PaulChristie72 The Specials! Good shout 😁

Taking advantage of having a night off the usual Sunday Dad Taxi duties

SOTD: "Is Ainm Dom" by @Moxiemuso is a modern take on Irish trad and innovative pop-ification of the sound, combining the heart of Irish trad through the instrumentals and use of the Irish language with catchy production and impressive female pop vocals. open.spotify.com/track/7mTno1lg…

@JulienceUK Drop me something to listen to 😁

@CallingSounds, Thank you for the follow!

@altirishmusic “All UK dates except Dublin” is a mad sentence

Can't wait to get the Luas to Britain to see Keane

SOTD: "Deep End" by @plasticineband_ is a badass tune with a grungy sound and female vocals, similar to bands like Veruca Salt and Hole. It feels nostalgic of the '90s while sitill maintaining that modern alt-rock sound. open.spotify.com/track/5fAZJ170…

SOTD: "The Ball" by @youthsectorband is a lively, upbeat track reminiscent of music like Talking Heads, yet contradicts itself in a beautiful way, with a tune you can't help but dance to with a darker message about anti-homeless structures and attitudes. open.spotify.com/track/5eRkMpMt…

Hi Twitter! I'm going to be posting a song every day with a description and link, as well as a link to a Spotify playlist in my bio where I'll add the songs as I go along. Not sure if anyone is listening, but I want to share the music I love just in case someone is.
