THE BRIGHTS Full Colour Sound (2012) Full Album Stream

Sorry, something went wrong yesterday with the post.

One day delay...

This is the album in its entirety:

THE BRIGHTS - Full Colour Sound (Stream)

If it wasn't fall in my part of the earth I would call the album "summer pop", perfectly suitable for a beach party BUT, then again, if you live on the opposite site of the earth, this might actually be fitting!!!

So stop searching for the right music for your next party at Great Barrier Reef...

Jangle pop at its finest! And I really love the voice!!!

The difficult second album...? This one matured in a LEMON POP cask. Brilliant! One step further!!!

The opener "Don't Look Back" starts with a touch of The Lightning Seeds and of course some Pale Fountains (Trumpets) again.

"Against The Wall (Into The Wind)" - wonderful bitter sweet pop

"Grace Under Fire" - some Teenage Fanclub / Pearlfishers / Lloyd Cole meet The Smiths

Check them yourselves! It's worth every minute...

THE BRIGHTS are unique. Of course you will always get a glimpse of the bands they are influenced by but they are definitely their own kind.

Buy the album!!!!

THE BRIGHTS Our Teenage Years (2012)

Step one...:

Post the link to the download of "Our Teenage Years"...

Download here!

Recorded over the Spring of 2012 in rural Essex, the band collaborate once more with producer

Fraser Smith (Shed 7, Ian Brown), adding textures reminiscent of The Byrds, Shack and Teenage Fanclub, among others. Full Colour Sound is released on LemonpopRecords in the UK and Rimeout Recordings in Japan.

If you are a follower of THIS IS INDIE you will most likely already be a fan of THE BRIGHTS.
"Our Teenage Years" starts with a SMITHS-like guitar intro (which is of course meant as a compliment) and immediately finds its way to the typically BRIGHTS sound, very much characterized by David's unique voice. Very jangly, very catchy...

Support them!
Buy their stuff!!!

Remember: Full album stream link on THIS IS INDIE 15.Oct'12!

THE BRIGHTS A Trivial Pursuit - Album Reviews

Hey, I think the boys do not sound like THE SMITHS by accident, right?

From Record Collector:

Promising debut produced by Fraser Smith (Ian Brown)

“You’ve never been so shook up since you saw The Smiths in 1984,” David Burgess sings on A Trivial Pursuit’s ebullient opener and first single Footsteps. This Essex four-piece – line-up completed by guitarist James Prudence, bassist Mark Newton and drummer Matt Humphries – have obviously studied Johnny Marr’s guitar work and songcraft well; and the band aren’t afraid to wear their influences on their sleeves.
Theirs is a magical sound that meshes a little bit of Aztec Camera’s jingle-jangle with some of Orange Juice’s wit and wisdom, and a lot of The Housemartins’ soulful pop. Indeed, second single A Cameo Can’t Last Forever wouldn’t sound out of place on the latter’s 1987 album, The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death, it’s so wonderfully infectious and bubblegum-poppy.
The Brights sing honestly and poignantly on Barricade Of Love and Pride Step Aside and, while they aren’t the only ones drawing on the 80s indie pool (see the Edwyn Collins-produced Frankie And The Heartstrings for one), The Brights have a rare knack for melody and are truly something special indeed."

From Music News:
"Five minutes after slamming the door after another bloody day at work The Brights had me bouncing around the room like a mad thing on happy tabs.
They are simply gorgeous to listen to and their jangly and upbeat bonhomie is guaranteed to drag you up out of the worst of moods (I think unhappiness is a four letter word in Brights world).
They have touches of so many of those eighties pop bands – echoes of The Housemartins, Style Council and Haircut 100 not to mention Squeeze but those bands were making music at a time when people thought powder blue had depth, Princess Di was the epitome of cool and a beret was a rakish accessory – and everyone was doing it.
The Brights are playing their brand of feel good pop in a world where the world currencies are collapsed , where the government is ripping huge swathes of money out of the state and where the world is in imminent danger of a natural catastrophe not to mention war and famine – in fact in a world that desperately needs bright and breezy and maybe the Brights can turn the world back to the light and away from the darkness – all I know is that they bring a huge smile to my face and lift in my heart and that can’t be any bad thing.
Standouts on the album are probably ‘A Cameo Can’t Last Forever’ with a rhythm like the Style Council and a superb bassline courtesy of Mark Newton, the achingly lovely ‘Barricade Of Love’ – slow and bittersweet, really showing off David Burgess’ vocal skills – and ‘Pride Step Aside’, a superb broken love affair gem.
They aren’t just about jangly bounce and poppy lightness, they actually have written a number of excellent three minute pop songs and if it wasn’t for the preponderance of so-called ‘R&B’ they would be a massive draw for Radio 1 as well as 6.
Make sure you get a listen – they should be THE band of the summer."

THE BRIGHTS A Cameo Can't Last Forever - New Single Out TODAY

Today's post features a great band from Britain whose fantastic new single will be out TODAY! If you like SHACK, SUEDE, THE BOO RADLEYS or THE OCEAN BLUE you will love

THE BRIGHTS new single:
A Cameo Can't Last Forever

Also check their website HERE!

Every now and then a band comes along whose name describes their sound and with THE BRIGHTS that is exactly what you get.

After their debut single Footsteps last year caught the attention of XFM's John Kennedy, BBC Radio 2's Janice Long and BBC London's Gary Crowley, Essex Indie/Pop foursome THE BRIGHTS are back with their second single A Cameo Can't Last Forever released on April 18th 2011. Replete with jangly guitars and an instantly memorable harmony this single is the slickest slice of Indie Pop to grace your stereos this spring. Original, up-tempo and with eighties influences ranging from Orange Juice and The Style Council to The Pale Fountains, THE BRIGHTS have been hailed for not sounding like every other indie band out there.
After honing their craft through countless gigs and numerous festival appearances, THE BRIGHTS' line-up, featuring David Burgess (Vocals), James Prudence (Guitar), Mark Newton (Bass) and Matt Humphries (Drums), has seen them share the bill with acts such as The Rifles, Noah And The Whale, Finlay Quaye and These New Puritans to name a few.
2010 has seen the band hard at work writing and recording songs for their debut album A Trivial Pursuit due for release late spring in London's 360 Studios with top producer Fraser Smith (Shed 7, Ian Brown).

The new album "A Trivial Pursuit" will be out june, 13th.
