Wow!! Yes that was my first impression when i first came across this amazing rendition. Guess The Killers would be proud as well. When You Were Young is one my favourite track from The Killer’s second album Sam’s Town and to see another indie band doing a remake of the song, is like adding a bit of spice to your dish.
Indie Rock Band, Noisettes hails from UK, London. Ah.. the best indie music you’ll ever get. The Brits. I remembered growing up listening to all kinds of BritPop. From Blur, East17, Oasis, Echobelly, Elastica, Sleeper, Menswear to name a few. The list could go on and on without any fullstop. Noisettes comprises of singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa, guitarist Dan Smith, and drummer Jamie Morrison. They have been in the music business since 2003 when the band was first formed. 5 years later, their fame started to rise when they performed alongside Paul Weller, Graham Coxon, The Smith’s Andy Rourke, New Young Pony Club and supergrass at Churchill College’s Spring Ball last year. This year, they’ll be going on tour with Lady Gaga as main support during the European leg of her Fame Ball Tour in July 2009.
They have produced 2 studio albums and the current album Wild Young Hearts has been released in April 20th this year. My favourite tracks from the current album are 24 and Never Forget. Its like listening to:
- Amy Winehouse
- The Pipepettes
- Oh, Atoms
- Lenka
- Lily Allen
Rate: A+
