London Grammar – Wicked Game (Layzie Edit)

Whoaaa, it’s been awhile folks and I apologize.  The dynamic duo has been busy with our real jobs unfortunately, which takes away from AOS.  We have missed so much, but will still try to post when we can.  Which brings us to today’s post, who doesn’t remember Chris Issak’s mainstream hit, Wicked Games?  Well, maybe a lot of people, but one listen to London Grammar’s cover along with some help of Layzie will take you right back.  Enjoy!

London Grammar - Wicked Game (Layzie Edit)

 

Bastille – Pompeii (Acoustic)

There’s no doubt that Bastille has blown up this year with their smash “Pompeii.”  It’s crazy to see how far these guys have come since we first posted their song “Flaws” 2 years ago when the band was just beginning to be formed.  What really surprised me was not the fact that they’ve gained this huge mass following now, but rather how  talented these guys are live.  It seems anyone can make a hit single these days, but when you strip out all the effects and autotune what are you left with?  These guys prove that you can still make incredible music just with a voice and guitar.

Panama – Always

Who can’t go for a little feel good music from Down Under? Wait… I don’t know if that came out right. Point being, Panama is a band hailing from Australia who is making waves across the internets with the title track of their latest EP, “Always.” To hear more, check out their band camp here.

Panama – Always

Frank Ocean – Wiseman (PortraitRemix)

Unfortunately Quentin stole Frank’s Oscar right from his hands by not including this on the Django Unchained soundtrack.  Ocean shows off his songwriting skills while delivering a powerful ballad.  One that Adele’s “Skyfall,” would have had no chance were it up against for the best song from a motion picture category.  Here is “Wiseman,” with some nice drums added.
