great band!
thanks for the link!
hood are fantastic
seen them many a time in leeds. really nice guys too.
their last album was easily one of the best of last year.
outside closer
is amazing and it's an album that i still often listen to. the lost you is an incredible song. cold house is also good.
i have to say that i find them a bit disappointing live. it's his vocals i think, they just get swamped by the instrumentals. i've seen them twice now although i did get to see why? do a guest spot. :D
JEALOUS
on a tangent, the new why? ep is also amazing, i don't get how he manages to get better and better with each release
i haven't listened
enough to that ep. it's quite an odd combination him and dose one on the cold house album but an inspired decision...
it's from back in the day
when they were still in cLOUDDEAD together, isn't it?
but yeah, hearing them apart it's difficult to see how it would work, but it somehow does
!
Awesome, I already have about two disc worth of stuff I downloaded from their site, some of this stuff looks pertty sweet too...
ooh yay
I wanted to hear more Hood, I've got one of their songs which I love.
this is the kind of music i usually like
but Hood never managed to touch me...
This is what we do to sell out
Hood are quality. Always make me think this is what Third Eye Foundation would sound like if they went all poppy. Didn't Matt Elliot have a hand in some of their stuff? That would explain the wicked song titles :)
I enjoy
Hood, but i always fins them 'pleasant' rather than 'mind blowing', i think it's probably Chris's voice , tis pretty bland.
