New Order - Love Vigilantes

Have been investigating some bew (maybe not new to some) music recently, or goibg back to music i kinda parked. Critique and abuse away. Or maybe even find stuff i missed by these guys or similar.

Bate into these guys recently. Heard them a bit in Oz but kinda left them behind.

I fucking love this guy(lead singer). Saw him on Jools Holland and was blown away. 80’s pop mixed with god knows what. Outstanding.

Maybe very mainstream but again i skipped them, what a vouce this bird has.

My 28 year old introduced me to this. Think i was being warned :joy: Head loads of J&A but not this.

Great voice and writer. Probably a bit hipster in ways, but i like him.

Again probably mainstream, but a recent listen for me

Not new either, and they probably have better but everyone knows them. This is class though

I know a lad who was going to play the future islands video to his underage team to illustrate what he meant by leaving everything out on the pitch😎

I was turned into these guys by a tune that @Turenne dropped in here a while back, I’ve been listening to them quite a bit recently and I think they are unbelievable, a few lads here expressed serious reservations but i think they’re great,
Smashing tune here which will speak to the lads who never grew up and watched wrestling into adulthood, not one of their best but a great story song

I hear a big Tom Petty influence there. If you haven’t listened to it before, do yourself a favour and check out Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ ‘Damn the Torpedoes’.

Lustened to it. Tbh not my type of old 70’s rock/pop.

But i do get what you mean about the tones of it.

Chill out type. But great tune none the less.
