Gem discovery alert: Montello

Gig review. Montello at The Rooz Studios, London.

It’s always pleasing when you realize you just discovered yet another gem of new music. This is definitely the case with Montello, who impressed on their recent London gig, at The Rooz Studios. The 4-piece from Wigan have only been together  for just over a year now, with members aged 17 and 18 years old. But they already have a whole set of original songs, 3 of which have already been released. In fact, it’s hard to reject any of those songs for a release, or to knock any of them off the set list to make way for a new one. There was a feel-good element throughout their set. And although there was naturally a little bit of shyness, their interaction with the crowd was brilliant.

Finally someone is being honest about craving attention and validation through social media. Through her new single Social Media Generation, Grace Calver admits to her obsession to mentions and tags on social media, as a way of validation and possibly a much needed confirmation of someone’s commitment to a relationship. Because if they’re serious about you, what stops them from tagging you on social media to let everyone know? If they’re not tagging you, what should you make of that?
