Mix CD #27 - Strength In Numbers

Hello and Welcome to the current edition of my shitty blog. Prepare your eyes (and ears if you can be arsed) for a feast!

I'd been wanting to use the above photo for a mix for a long time but nothing has really fitted with it. I've been listening to the Ryan Hamilton & The Traitors album a bit lately and the song Strength In Numbers seemed perfect for it as well as being a great song anyway.
 Also, I appreciate the irony in the fact that the old dude actually seems like the one in control of that situation, despite the odds.

As for the other songs on the mix, there's the usual mix of songs I have been enjoying, from the punishing Death Metal of Behemoth to the jaunty Cajun Rockabilly of Johnnie Allan. There are a couple of all-female Punk bands and the usual smattering of both '90's Britrock and Prog Metal as that seems to be all I listen to these days,

As always you can read a scintillating little anecdote about each band and/or song as well as download the mix if you want. Both things are below.

Cheers,
Luke

Mix CD #26 - The Music That Nobody Likes

Behold unto thee, yon mix one score and two thrices hath risen! Behold unto thee.

 I've actually really enjoyed listening to this mix a lot lately, I mean, I always do enjoy them but I think there are some cracking songs that work well together this time. You might disagree once you've listened to it but that's coo'.

There are also a few bands that I've only recently discovered too, which is nice. I like finding good new music. The Treeherder track, in particular, is one of my favourites of the year so far, you should give it a listen and if you like it, try their album.

As always, there's a link to download the mix and some waffle by me about each song. You can find both things below. 

Cheers,
Luke
