digging 4 treasures

 

 

As I said before, I’m digging for music as I feel I’m listening to the same old things for too long.

 

I think there’s a lot of music there that waits to be exposed.

 

Due to Last.fm, exploration becomes pretty easy.

 

So just in one week I found two amazing bands. One has been around for a while, the other is more recent.

 

Bear with me. I don’t consider their performance ground breaking. It feels like there’s not much to be said in music. But they sound good and I’d like to recommend them further.

 

Until I found the first one, I had a law: “nobody is allowed to play Freddie’s music, but Freddie. And maybe George Michael. ”

 

Well… now there’s an exception. Those guys can say it differently. I dare to say… better.

 

 

Trivia:

The name “Breaking Benjamin” comes from Benjamin Burnley’s early solo experience. Burnley was covering a Nirvana song during an open-mic night at a club when he finished he dropped the microphone to the ground, breaking it.

 

The person who owned the microphone came on stage and said, ‘Thanks to Benjamin for breaking my f***ing mic.’

 

 

Last year I fell in love with Nickelback. I’d love to see them live someday.

 

And here’s something I might bitchy call a tribute band, just that… I like them more than the original.

 

They were actually discovered and signed by Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger. Their value is acknowledged, so don’t blame me!
