My credentials are the fact that I have been listening to music from a very early age and have never lost enthusiasm for it. I listen to both mainstream and non mainstream music. I listen to a range of artists. I am not concerned with genres. I listen to albums. I am always finding new artists to listen to. I like music for the sound of it rather than whether it is fashionable or not. I don't rely on mainstream media to discover music...I discover it in various ways. I take an interest in how music is made and who wrote what I'm listening to.
Sorry if this can't compete with the extensive knowledge of your typical Capital FM casual listener.”
wow - more bands that most people have heard of - i like chvrches and florence and the machine too, saw them both live before the release of their first albums, like sky ferreira as well
if you like chvrches you will probably like austra, zola jesus, braids, blackbird blackbird and lykke li
my favourtie artists at the moment are probably john grant, sun kill moon, future islands, phosporescent
nothing too obscure, but feel free to slag me off,
