Molotov Jukebox

Hello guys. Apologies for not posted anything on this due to University and Life swallowing time and thought and such. The joy. 

But anyways I am here to talk about a six piece British band known as Molotov Jukebox. I have recently come to enjoy their music. And my thoughts after just over a week of listening to them is why the bloody hell has it taken this long for me to know of them.

I am a massive music fan. My love for music covers almost all genres and many decades. However within the last decade or so my thought is that the music industry has become lacking. You flick through music channel after channel to pretty much the same songs or artist on an ever eternal loop. So when I came across Molotov Jukebox with their unique style I was very intrigued. 

I would like to say I came across this band through music which seams like it should have happened. However I found out about the band due to its leading lady. Natalia Tena who is also a very talented actress. Fans will know her as Ellie from About a Boy (2002) or Nymphadora Tonks from the Harry Potter series starting with the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and more recently Osha the Wildling from Game of Thrones (2011-Present).

Finding out that she had a band called Molotov Jukebox intrigued me. So I hit YouTube in search of this elusive band. Now having bought all the songs of theirs I can and I can happily say to anyone if you don't after reading this search out the band and listen to them then you are sorely missing out. 

Now though a music fan I would not claim to be an expert or even a player of any instrument (tried and failed) I am throwing this out here purely on the basis that in around a week this band has become equal to my fave band of all time 'Nirvana' in the place of number 1. in my list of fave bands/artist. A feat which hundreds of other bands/artist have failed to do even after years of being listened to by me. 

The band is unique combining- Accordion, Violin, Guitar, Bass, Drums and Trumpet together in a multitude of styles. And they really do cover many genres yet retain their own distinct style which they have dubbed: 'Gypstep'. Each song holds its own brilliant beat which makes you want to just get up and dance and smile. They hold a very upbeat and charismatic feel to their music as if they truly love what they create. Something that to me becomes lacking in some of the more well known bands. Molotov Jukebox give of the feeling of grabbing life and enjoying it. 

Now I'm not saying you must like this band or else for all I know they might not be your cup of tea however they are well worth a listen to. And my apologies if this comes across as a ramble about this band I have come to love but alas still worth a listen to. 

Here is a good video to introduce them:
