Generationals - Con Law


Firstly, apologies to the millions of fans out there for the lack of posts lately. Ive been lending a hand over at alensdiary trying to get his life back on track and back with reality. Some people cant handle college life.

Moving on. 
Often smaller bands that tour with larger bands are very worthy of listening too. This is the case with Generationals. A group of young guys from New Orleans, theyve been opening shows for Two Door Cinema Club across the states for the past months, a nice little tour to have on the resume given Two Doors' explosive success over the last 12 months. 

However, their music is not like Two doors', so dont go expecting 'throw your hands in the air' anthems like Undercover Martyn. These guys produce a dreamy mix of indie-pop and acoustic, full of cool harmonies and hammock swinging guitar/drum rhythms. Some of you may recognise the smash single off the album 'When They Fight, They Fight' which was somewhat of an indie-summer classic over in the states this year, and catapulted Generationals into the playlists of many unsuspecting ipods. 

The full length debut album 'Con Law' continues where 'When They Fight, They Fight' left off. Its a record that's solidly enjoyable from front to back, serving up songs suited to afternoon bbq's, pointless conversations and hot chicks in summer dresses riding cruiser bicycles eating over sized pieces of watermelon (hot chicks are so hot). I particularly like the songs 'Nobody Could Change Your Mind' and 'Faces In The Dark'. 

Generationals are a delight to listen too.

I'll post up a couple of songs tomorrow, in the meantime check out there Myspace and a couple of these clips from youtube.

Happy Halloween.
