New Music November

The Cults colloborate with Freddie Gibbs (The Cults, who I've actually seen live open for Foster) amazing concept of a band doesn't necessarily translate live, with the exception of Go Outside, & Bumper their music isn't very bouncy, or energetic. but soulful, melodic, reminiscent of a 60's girl group meets angsty heartbroken type of songs.. I'm glad they tried a different approach for this song! It worked.

Meanwhile-- THE FRAY IS BACK! (I couldn't be happier about it!)

First with the U2 cover  Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World:

Then with their new single ''Heartbeat'' I immediately downloaded this to my Ipod and the lyrics won't escape my head (as with many of their songs) "I feel your heartbeat come around... try to let me in"
