Young Men Dead - Courageous (23/11/2012)
Young Men Dead create the kind of pop music that actually exhibits skill and creativity - something that has unfortunately become a rarity in radio music. Whilst YMD and Adele are quite unlike each other, both artists have the gift of displaying their unique abilities with seamless effort. YMD's newest single is Courageous; a sumptuous blend of synth and drumbeat and Aussie vocals. The soaring vocals both create a familiar melody and epitomise the artistic nature of the band. This, coupled with the ever-present synthesiser and racing drum beat, produce a sound that you can imagine being played on the radio. Heck, it's something that's worth being played on the radio.
It's unfortunate that the band does not originate from the UK or US nor has won a "talent" show like The X Factor. Courageous would receive unlimited of air-time on commercial radio if this was the case. But alas, the song and the band are - for now - hidden away in Melbourne, creating songs that a portion of the world will forever remain sadly ignorant of. Regardless of their level of fame, the newest single from YMD is a must-hear. Go download it now (for free!) and give the band the attention they so deeply deserve. Go!
