The Paddingtons, The Strokes, The Hives

I'm sorry if I'm flooding about music. Ang dami kasing magaganda eh! Haha!

To start with, The Paddingtons are an English indie rock band from Hull, known for their energetic concerts and loyal fanbase. The band is Tom Atkin, Martin Hines, Josh Hubbard, Lloyd Dobbs and Grant Dobbs.
In various interviews, bassist Dobbs has said it is due to their willingness to play almost any venue. Between April 2005 and 9 November 2006, they played over 150 live shows, including venues such as The Square, Harlow; Jersey Live; Summercase; The Underground, Stoke-on-Trent; T in the Park and at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

This is how they sound like. Isn't it cool?? It's really screaming INDIE ROCK!


The Strokes are an American rock band formed in 1998 in New York City who rose to fame in the early 2000's as a leading group in the garage rock revival. The band consists of Julian Casablancas (lead vocals, songwriting), Nick Valensi (lead guitar), Albert Hammond Jr. (rhythm guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass guitar) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums and percussion).

Upon the release of their debut album Is This It in 2001, the group was met with much critical acclaim, being hailed by some as the "saviors of rock and roll." NME made Is This It their Album of the Year. Since then, the band has maintained a large fan base, notably in the UK, US and Australia. Exhausted from almost nonstop recording, they have been on an unofficial hiatus since 2006's First Impressions of Earth, during which several of its members, most notably Albert Hammond Jr., have embarked on a variety of side projects, from music to film.

This is from the album, Is This It. Enjoy!

*QUICK TRIVIA: Do you know that Agyness Deyn (syempre sya na naman! HAHA) used to date The Paddington's Josh Hubbard? And now she's dating The Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. Hmmmmm....

Haha Now you're getting how I come up with these bands. HAHAHA


And thirdly, The Hives are a Swedish rock band that first garnered attention in the early 2000s as a prominent group of the garage rock revival, playing garage punk. Their mainstream success came with the release of the "greatest hits" album Your New Favourite Band, featuring their most well-known song "Hate to Say I Told You So". The Hives are known for their "hilarious self-glorification," and performing in ever-changing black and white suits.

Hahaha REALLY sounds like garage rock. :)

Cool. I'm learning. HAHA!
