This is a bit late, but I went to see McBusted in May in Manchester and I thought I would put my journalistic skills to use and do some reviews of the singles from my two favourite support bands that myself and my other half liked, EofE and Young Brando.
Lets start with Young Brando:
The Salisbury band were the first to perform at the concert. It must have been nerve-wracking, but probably one of the best feelings ever for a upcoming band. One of the songs they performed was their latest single 'Out at Sea'. They reminded me of some other bands that I listen to, but I was cheering them on as they are pretty local to me (I'm from Amesbury lads. don't forget about us local fans!) The lads are also on YouTube and Twitter so go follow and have a listen!
Second on were EofE:
EofE were the second band supporting McBusted, and they were my other half's favourite... Although they are starting to my favourite now. I have listened to their latest single 'Lust' numerous times now and I can not get bored of the song, literally minutes ago I was just jumping around the flat singing along to the chorus and the 'She Knows' parts. (My fellow McBusted fans will know what I am on about). It is a pretty good song to rock out and jump around to. The Phones 4 U Arena were buzzing when they were performing this song. It is available now on iTunes to buy, and EofE are on Twitter and YouTube so go have a follow and a listen!
I love listening to upcoming bands, probably my favourite kind of music to find and listen to as no one has heard of them, and when they come on the scene and people start talking about them you can go 'Oh yeah, I knew about them months ago, and love them!'
But everyone who reads my blog, give these guys a follow, they're young, fresh and have an amazing career ahead of them in the music industry!

Joe Marson - Godammit Julia Review
Joe Marson is one of my favourite aspiring artists from across the world. I have been a fan since I started blogging whilst studying at university, and I have followed his progress since I decided that I wanted to blog about music.
'Godammit Julia' is an acoustic song that Joe wrote himself. Joe is just one of these artists that likes to range his vocals throughout the song, which makes the audience listen more; because it grabs their attention. (Well it grabbed mine)
Joe is one of these musicians who can really tell a story through the art of music. The song is a story of Joe and his feelings towards a girl called Julia (whether its real I don't know) but he makes it SO convincing just through the way he sings the lyrics and emphasises on certain parts of the song.
He also has a range within his vocals where he can sing low and sing high too, this is portrayed in this song, when he sings softer parts higher pitch, and parts of some verses in lower pitch. This makes the song unique along with him playing the guitar through the song too.
The guitar playing even has some range from the soft plucking parts to full on strumming when he goes for it in the choruses. Got to be one of my favourites of his songs and his performances on You Tube.
Give Joe a listen, here's the link to 'Godammit Julia' on YouTube:
