what a performance...

So normally I find a bunch of new music and then slowly get round to blogging about it over the next few days/weeks, but in this case i felt inspired to write a quick post straight away.

I came across a track by a band called Performance {formerly (We Are) Performance} from Manchester.  Seems like they've had a turbulent past, this bunch of school friends kept getting together and breaking apart, managing to release an album back in 2007.  And happily, they seem to have got it together again.  'Unconsoled' is an powerful indie-electro-pop tune, as one blog wrote, its sounds like someone mixed Pounding by Doves with some U2 and a hint of Brandon Flowers, and the result is fantastic!  Earlier this year they released 'The Living', an equally brilliant dance-inducing 3:37.  Get listening (and prepare to dance)!!!

Unconsoled - Performance
