Skip the use: "Sound from the shadow"
Skip the use is a French punk band from Lille with the charismatic singer mat Bastard. After a great success in 2009 with their previous album entitled “Skip the Use” they released their second album “Sound from the shadow” in 2011. Two years after “skip the use” the band still has this punchy music and this energy on stage but their last album was criticized by some fans saying the music produced In “Sound from the shadow” wasn’t original as it used to be and claimed that their music was starting to be like Bloc Party, an English band.
In this Ep they have released five songs: Pil, People in the shadow, Darkness paradise, animal and song 2. The last song is a cover of the famous English band “Blur” which I must say is a better version than the original one, they managed to release an electro punk version of the song.
Mat Bastard
I personally enjoyed listening to this album and I don’t think it looks like any of bloc party’s song, it’s a real punk and rock Ep and I even find this album better than the previous one, it seems to me matt bastard has improve a lot and you can hear it in the song “Darkness paradise”.
So if you enjoy Punk music and if you’re fed up of listening to old punk bands such as the Sex pistols or Rancid this is what you are looking for, it’s new, it’s French and it’s awesome.
At only 23 years old, Steven Markowitz, better known as Hoodie Allen has released his third mixtape entitled “Leap Year”. After being an employee at Google, Hoodie Allen left the company, to focus on his hip hop/singer career. After a remarkable buzz on the internet, with his previous mix tape “Pep Rally”, the New York M.C. is providing us something new with more unusual and audacious covers. This mixtape draws pretty well the portrait of this new artist: a hard working song writer devoted to music.
With his skinny jeans, his big glasses and his checked shirts, Hoodie Allen is clearly not the rapper you expect to see, but that’s what makes him unique and original. With his producer RJF who is also Hoodie Allen’s friend, they show us the art of sampling and mixing. Hoodie raps over instrumentals already used which brings an indie, pop and rap sound to his album. “Leap Year” is telling the story of a boy for whom music meant everything, and dropped everything to become a full time artist.
Hoodie Allen
“Song For An Actress” is the perfect opener to introduce Hoodie’s work: He uses a sample of the song “Don’t gotta work it out” from the L.A band Fitz and the Tantrums, a perfect match between the music and his lyrics.
The music video of the song “The Chase Is On” was posted on You Tube two months ago and it has already more than one million views. The beat is lively and the sample is well chosen. With an unusual name and an original music this artist surely knows how to get to his listeners with powerful lyrics and audacious covers.
All Hoodie’s fans will agree to say that he‘s an original and ambitious singer too : “In James Franco” he uses a sample of one the most popular and the most influential hip hop band of all times, The Black Eyed Peas ( “Clap your hands” song ) and he’s able to release a song as good as the original one.
It can be disappointing for those who liked “Pep Rally” and who are looking for radical changes, because both mixtapes are quite similar: there are samples of pop songs with hoodie’s rap. But as the previous one it’s a very imaginative project, the lyrics are very catchy and the rhythm dynamic, and it’s also easy to listen to. The advantage of this mixtape is that you can download it on hoodie Allen’s website, it’s free it’s legal and it is worth it.
Here's the song the chase is on from his mixtape

It’s a different kind of rap, because the instrumental is different than the ones rappers usually use. This band is similar to Chiddy Bang, Kid Cudi and even Lil Wayne.
