Alright, time to press the lovely random button on my MP3 player and see where we land. And today’s pick is:
“No Time (Beats Mix)” by The Heavy
To be honest I literally stumbled upon this song myself whilst perusing the vast waves of MP3s in the Amazon.com jungle.
Lo and behold I found a NinjaTune XX studio sampler album filled with songs from varying artists signed to the label. I gave it a good listen and this particular track stuck out to me. Maybe not stuck out, but more so punched its way to my attention with the quick beats and jazzy feel.
I quickly looked into the band and found out that I was already familiar with another tune of theirs, “How You Like Me Now?”, which has been used in tons of TV series and car commercials. I really enjoyed their punchy rock and jazz sound that I’ve yet to precisely match with any other recent bands.

This version of “No Time” (which I favor over their original version) is exclusively offered on Amazon.com through this sampler only. If you like it or would like to look more into their sound, check out the sampler or their official website.
And if you like these guys, you might like these groups or artists as well: The Pillows, The Black Keys, or The Dead Weather.
You were completely right about the punchy rock/jazz sound of it. Great find. What else do you have like it?
ReplyDeleteGlad you dug it Lidia! The only other thing I can name in my collection that is similar to The Heavy is The Pillows, but they have more of a jazzy feel and let up on the rock part.
ReplyDeleteI like listening to the track while reading about your descriptions! It really helps to complete the image in my head! I totally understand what you mean by jazzy feel!
