Here at soundz we pride ourselves on giving you the freshest, newest sound on the scene and we may just have unearthed a lil gem in our latest featured band. With the guys at Soundz studios getting very excited over these youngsters unlike any band or artist before were tipping these guys to go to the very top. The band in question are 'Skies don't lie', and we are sure you will be hearing this name a lot more in the coming months and years. Leading artists have in the past used our mag to publicise this group as potential future stars and a must listen. With a friend of the magazine 'Example' being such a big fan of them he has selected them to support him on his up and coming U.K tour. Now that is a compliment! This exposure to the main stage will do them the world of good and could be the stepping stone to stardom.
The release of there new album 'Coming of Age' has took Itunes by storm with their upbeat bouncy beats proving a hit with fans as they have sold well over 1million within the first 6 months for a relatively unknown band this is a momentous feat. Endorsments from artists such as Example and Calvin Harris on twitter will have gone some way to helping this. This rapid rise to the top is an amazing feat for two brothers who only started playing music just over a year ago. Tom and JP started mixing new sounds and music using their Imac and what turned into just a small hobby in their free time developed into an over night sensation. The brothers decided after each mix they would upload it to youtube to initially share with their friends. It some came aparant though that it wasn't just their friends listening to their sound in fact people as far and wide as Sweden and Norway and even in India and China were listening to them, this leading to them to becoming an over night sensation. The rise of these two brothers shares resemblance to parody band The Midnight Beast. But 'Skies Don't Lie' are different and they have much more potential. 'Skies don't Lie' are further evidence of how recent changes in technology are transforming the face of music as we know it.
A mix of upbeat bouncy beats with a hidden deep meaning is how the band describe their music and this type of ambiguity adds to the suspense of the duo and after their recent surprise success a second album is already on the cards. Here at Soundz we know that its going to be a success and we are eagerly anticipating the new stuff just as much as you. Skies don't lie groundbreaking new sounds could be a start of the next generation of music and new dimension to music with the techno trend really starting to hit the big time. Initiators of the electro sound Example and Calvin Harris can both take massive credit for this and are both excited with the new direction that music is taking. Example recently said to us 'It's amazing to be apart of it's about time things changed and to freshen things up is what we have needed, as the industry was slow and boring, welcome to a new area and were here to stay' Calvin Harris simply stated ' I find it all a cool ride that i'm not getting off in a hurry'
We've gave you a bit of background on the group but who better to give you an insight to their rapid rise to the top than the guys themselves so heres a recent Q&A sesh we organised via twitter! More signs of how the social media and social networking is taking the music industry by storm!
