Part II of Interview with The Majority Says

Hey All,

I hope you had a nice weekend.

I wanted you all to hear this song that I

recently discovered (although it is

from a few years back):

"Wake Up" by Arcade Fire

From the album 'Funeral'

It's this really beautiful song that reminds me

of camping in the summertime (idk why!), it was 

also used on the trailer for Where The Wild

Things Are which might help you to understand the

style of the song if you haven't heard it before.

It starts off as this strong rock sound but with soft, angelic melodies. And just when you think it's

going to do one thing it changes into a joyful, 

upbeat rhythm.

It's totally crazy but amazing!!

Next, is Part II of my interview with Swedish 

band The Majority Says! 

6. In 5 words describe your music.

 I’ll write six words here, since we’re 6 ;) (Whoops!)

Youthful, Playful, Mixed, Melancholy, Ploj, Epic.

7. What is the weirdest thing that has happened whilst performing or before/after a gig? 

Emil locked himself in the tour bus once by accident, we looked for him everywhere and he had 

no cell phone so we could not call him, he showed up just a minute before we should enter 

the stage, that was kinda weird actually. 

8. Have any of you got any strange hobbies or habits?I think we’re all kinda normal, myself (Axel), I’m into computers and programming and such, 

don’t know if that’s so strange though. We all try to do things we like, you know, it may 

vary from day to day.

9. Cinnamon Rolls or Princess Cake? 

Princess cake ofc.

10. Lastly, what are your plans for the future? Are you playing any gigs in Europe soon? 

 We’re releasing a new album in June, we hope to play the songs off it as much as possible of course. 

We’re going to Europe this summer to play, we’ll be doing shows from late May to November (both in 

Sweden and Europe), we hope to meet as many new people as possible and have as 

much fun as possible!

If you would like to see a sneak-peek of their album

material, follow this link to hear some of their new

song "Calling Your Name"

This weekend, I'm going to Brixham with my

two friends so I won't be able to post but

I'll try and schedule one in for you ;)

Song recommendations, reviews and interviews

coming soon!

Part I of Interview with The Majority Says

Hi All,

Here is Part I of my interview with The

Majority Says. You may not have heard of them before

but you might recognise them from the Lidl christmas

ad jingle "All these little things"

(http://youtu.be/APe7pHiWhnI)

1.Could you please introduce yourselves and your instrument? 

 We’re the Majority Says, I'm Axel, I play the bass, Timo plays the keys, Jonathan and Emil plays

 the guitar and Mathias the Drums. As you may know, Hanna does the lead vocals, all of the 

guys try to sing as much as we can as well, making nice 

harmonies and such, you know.

2. Where do you call "Home"? 

For now I think we all call Sweden home, something tells me we always will, we love getting back to 

Sweden, but we also like being on tour of course, Germany is a favorite.

3. What inspired you to name yourself "The Majority Says"?

Actually we just wanted to have a cool name, no real story behind it. We wanted a name that s

tarted with ”the”. Later we’ve found out if you puzzle a bit with the first letter in our first names 

you’ll get ”THE MAJ” Which is kinda cool.

4. How long have you been a band/known each  other?

Together, in this setup we’ve been playing for about 3 years, but some of us have known each 

other since we where kids, Jonathan and Emil have been playing together since 

they where about 12 years old.

5. Where do you find inspiration for your songs? (My favourite is Run Alone)

We find inspiration in many things, many of the songs of our upcoming album are about being 

from a smaller city, relations, being young and such things. We get inspired by

art, music, films & nature.

If you would like to hear some of Majority Says'

sound, I have uploaded a video of their song

"Run Alone"

Her soft voice, their harmonic, male voices and the

sounds of electro-pop form a wonderfully catchy and

uplifting song. A delightfully perky piece, go on- 

give it a go...

Love,

Poppy x

Ps. Part II will be available soon

New Look Mini-Spree

Afternoon Everyone,

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long I have

been so busy with homework and I haven't had 
my laptop to post from! 

I wanted to post a video of a tour of my room
but the format isn't compatible with blogger,
so I won't be able to! :(

However, I did just go on a mini-spree and
bought a series of items I'm very happy with!
(All from New Look) 

 

White Boxy Shirt £14.99

Black Gingham Skirt £9.99

Round Frame Sunglasses £4.99

Black Tie Dye crop top £12.99

Star Product: 

Blush Rose Garland £3.99

I love the Rose Garland because it's so easy to wear 

yet it looks effortlessly hippie-like. You

can buy them in a variation of styles, colours and sizes

so they're perfect for everyone and every outfit. 

I would encourage you to purchase one if you're hitting 

the festivals this spring/summer! ;)

Have a lazy Sunday!

If I could pick any song......

It would be......

"Don't ask me why" by Great Caesar

This song will make you feel amazing by the end. 

It's uplifting, moving and powerful.

So please click Play (please!).
