Track of the Year by Viva Brother

[Viva] Brother
Still Here
Famous Last Words

"I've got selected memory, forgotten her name" belts lead singer Leonard. The Slough-originated band are 2011's effort to bring 'guitar music' back into the public eye, and although they've been hit with bad reception from Oasis fans - claiming "the band is just a bunch of posh c***s with tattoos" - I think Brother have succeeded in bringing back guitar music; even if it's only my life that's been affected. The band are due to appear at Reading festival this year, so I have that to look forward to - although a Celtic rock band named 'Brother' have sued them for the band title, so it's 'Viva Brother' now - haha. As for 'Still Here' itself, the vocals are just perfect and a lot of effort has been put into crafting masterful lyrics - even if they seem a lil' cheesy in regards to a dwindling relationship. Here's hoping the debut album released August 1 won't do as bad as Oasis-fans'd hoped - I know I'll be purchasing it ASAP. Below is the accompanying cover for the single release.
