Cleanin’ Out My Closet (of Deserving Songs) – February 2019 Version

          We periodically look at the songs that have been listed for mention but have undeservedly remained on the list for too long. Assuming we still find the songs blogworthy, we dedicate a post to them, although they may be in very different genres. Today, it’s time to clean out the closet.

     October Drift is a UK band formed of Kiran Roy, Chris Holmes, Alex Bispham, and Daniel Young. Their song “All Broken Down” excels in Shoegaze guitar and its use of a brief break down (around 2:30).

     “All Broken Done” by October Drift


     Banfi is Joe Banfi, Aaron Graham and Chris McCuaig: a three-piece pop rock band based in Leytonstone, London.
  
     “Never Really Cared” by Banfi


     Jetstream is originally from Gibraltar. The members are Nolan Frendo (vocals), Stu Whitwell (guitar), Tristan Tonna (drums), Justin Pou (bass), and Aaron Ignacio (guitar). They describe their sound as “Big drums, Zeppelin-style guitars, Killers-style electro synths and punchy Kings of Leon vocals....this is what you get when you mix a classic American rock with modern British EDM and Indie influences...”

     “Delta Blues” by Jetstream (This would have fit well in the Indie Obsessive post about the importance of the age of 17 in Rock lyrics.)


     Traveling to Brooklyn, American Authors is lead vocalist and guitarist Zac Barnett (vocals, guitar), James Adam Shelley (guitar, banjo), Dave Rublin (bass), and Matt Sanchez (drums).

     “Say Amen” (feat. Billy Raffoul) by American Authors
