Coldplay marked "Shit Day" on their Calendar!!!

British Indie-rock band Coldplay branded this year's Brit Awards a "Shit Day" after not winning a single award at the 2009 ceremony on February 18. The Band was nominated in four categories, but failed to win a single one, losing three of them to some newbie Welsh singer named Duffy! The singer Chris martin expressed his frustration in losing all four categories by simply declaring," it's been a shit day frankly, I mean we've just got back from Japan, and lost all the Brits." However, he did manage to cheer himself up by performing with his band at a rare charity show in London onstage with The Killers and U2 for "All These Things I've Done" as well as a couple of other hits.

Change has come!!!(not referring to the Obama compaign slogan) and this time with a funky fresh name: Chester French!

Okay then... I know my readers usually expect me to post about the good-all classic rock bands, and to keep my standards of covering bands that contain at least some sort of a dose of hard rock or metal in them, as well as to detest the obscene horror of new modern day pop rock or anything close to that, but talking to my dearest friend Jenny actually inspired me to give the new stuff a chance. Thus, I decided to cross to the other side and experiment with another side of the rock genre which I usually don't listen to, and that I would personally not consider "True Rock". In this Post, Jenny shares her view on one of her favorites and an exciting new band dubbed "Chester French". After listening to these guys, I actually had an epiphany...NOT, but I didn't find them bad, not bad at all; In fact, I actually enjoyed them. And after that, I decided to expand this new part of my taste bud with other similar bands. Overall, one thing Jenny and this whole experience taught me is that maybe I shouldn't be that orthodox when it comes to my judgment of rock and even music as whole. Maybe there is another side where the sun shines that I just haven't found yet. Maybe I should try the new stuff more and further my horizon of other genres while still retaining the good'all stuff as well. Whatever I learned(or was supposed to learn) from this short but significant muscial journey, I'm just glad it happened.
Before you read the review, I want to thank my friend Jenny for contributing to this post in which she did an amazing job! Here's her review on "Chester French":Colorful images. Cheeky diction. An eloquent review of an up-and-coming band. No, Jose didn't have a sex change and is now inhabiting the body an indie 16-year-old from Brighton. No, Jose didn't realize that "new" rock is good rock (kidding). So, what is up with the sudden change, you may ask yourself. Well, you guessed it, I am a guest contributor to Jose's musical blog True*Rock*Never*Dies. My area of musical focus tends to range anywhere from Sheffield's own Arctic Monkeys to the always soulful Gypsy Kings. But now to my review...

I have found my new band of meek obsession. The willing victimes this time around is the Cambridge-based pop duo Chester French. With their fresh, funky sound and cheerful beats, Chester French, aka Maxwell Drummey (left) and D.A. Wallach, bring a new meaning to pop on the table. CF are a breath of fresh air in the atmosphere of radio-hits mainly pertaining to stupid dance moves and mainly sung by homosexual boy-bands. Think Beach boys with updated, quirky lyrics making references to Jimmy Choo's and shallow lovers.

Chester French is currently signed onto Star Trak/Interscope records under the promising guidance of Pharrell Williams, the innovative producer himself. Ever since Pharrell got a taste of this poppy duo, the rockstar/producer/designer, knew that these boys had something amazing to offer.

"When I first heard Chester French, I felt like I had stumbled upon two geniuses," says Pharrell Williams, who signed the duo to Star Trak/Interscope records in the Spring of 2007. "It's been a long time since I've heard a project teeming with this sort of musicality and originality," he continues. "You're going to watch history unfold with these guys. I feel it in my gut."

Chester French's long-awaited debut CD, Love The Future, will hit record stores on March 24th.
