Money - Austin Town Hall

Melancholically Beautiful Track From MONEY

October 28, 2015 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Sometimes, all you need is a good sad song to get you through the day, and maybe it’s the Wednesday blues, but this track from Money is really hitting the spot. The vocals channel emo rock of the 90s, while the instrumentation is a blend of orchestral folk sounds that blend with the vocals and lyrics to generate a really moving piece of music. Lucky for us, MONEY have a new album, Suicide Songs, coming out in the near future on January 29th on Bella Union.

Get a LIFE

October 15, 2014 nathan.lankford

Okay. I really meant to throw the word digital single in there; I promise. LIFE is a UK act that’s bracing for their invasion of the US, this week releasing their first single Stateside this week. I’m going to post both the songs from the single, as I think they embrace two sides of a young band. One, offers an up beat number that recalls that one good song from The Vaccines; it’s immediately catchy with a huge sound for pop fans. The flip side of the coin is a grittier track that has more of a guitar pop feel; it’s probably more ambitious in construction than the other tune, so it’s my pick of the two, though I’m enjoying both. Get ready to get a LIFE.

Floating Pop from Money

July 15, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s really not too much information floating about for Manchester outfit, Money, although they did get a decent response with their Cillian Murphy directed video. I’m pretty impressed with the group’s sound, with the group making stunningly dense pop tunes with various movements within their tracks. You’ve got to listen carefully to grasp, or hear rather, all the tiny touches the band put into their songwriting. Should make for a remarkable debut when they release The Shadow of Heaven on August 26th via Bella Union.

Friday Top 5: Songs About Money

September 2, 2011 jon.wagner 4 comments

It seems that all over the college sports landscape nowadays, all we hear about are conference realignments, TV deals, advertising packages, and student athlete sponsor scandals. Somewhere along the lines, the good old fashioned spirit of the game got lost in the shuffle and with that came the sad realization that these young athletes are mere pawns in a much wider international game of economics. Regardless of what side of Lee County you set your allegiance or which color lucky underwear you wear on game day, let’s all remind ourselves about what the whole ‘Hullabaloo’ is about in the first place; dirty, evil money. Like the song says, ‘it’s the root of all evil today’ and there’s plenty of evil to go around in college sports these days. Just ask the U, tOSU, Oregon, Auburn…well for the sake of you, the reader, I couldn’t possibly list all 122 of them here. So, in light of Texas A&M’s indecisive decision to take their markets elsewhere and to mark the anticipated beginning of the 2011 season, here are the top 5 most ridiculously relevant songs that feature our corrupting currency as a common theme. Now, where’s the tailgate party? I’m about to make it rain.
