Dirty Heads and Edge Of Tomorrow

Today I have music for you by a band with a pretty awesome sound called Dirty Heads. I honestly feel like this is what a mellowed out Linkin Park would sound like. This song has everything! It has a really catchy drum beat that acts like a heartbeat or thrum for the song. I love the introduction of the synths and keyboard during the main chorus and the build up to the chorus. This is similar to Linkin Park in the sense that they use electronic instruments and typical band instruments such as the guitar and drums.  This song has this cool and almost suave sound to it. There is a small elvel of charm that is present in this song, something that makes you want to keep coming back for more. Dirty Heads is actually a very impressive group. They are able to come up with songs like this one, songs with a psychedelic intensity but are also able to turn around and do some reggae. That's right, this band dabbles in every kind of genre, especially reggae. I think that is absolutely brilliant! It isn't every day you hear a band like this do reggae. But this song has a sound that is different from reggae but yet you can hear slight influences of that genre in this song. There is something about the way this song is sung that makes it have a mix of rock and reggae. Speaking of mixing, this song also has some sick rapping happening in it. Guess which other band successfully pulls off rap rock? I really like how the singing vocals are done. They start out slightly muffled but then it comes to its normal strength. I really like the way they used just that one thing to change the tone of the song. The rapping is not too shabby! It's definitely a challenge for many rock groups to attempt to rap but this group does it very well.The musical composition of this song is really good. There is a great balance of all elements in this song. The drum is a perfect amount to where it doesn't turn into a hard rock song and there is just enough synth to give it a modern feel but not so much to be a techno song. All in all, this is an absolutely great song! Today's instrumental song is from the movie Edge of Tomorrow. This movie looks pretty cool, but I haven't heard anything about it nor have I seen it so I am not a valid source of info on the status of this movie. But the plot line seems endearing and the score is pretty boss. Every song has that super Tom Cruise "I am going to fight evil with my bad ass ways" vibe and has that intense energy that pretty much every one of his movies has. This song though has moments of a lighter tone which is nice in a sound where everything else is extremely intense. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
