THE MAGNIFICENT 7 ! Week 11...

WalesOnline - A Sound Reaction Playlist - Thursday March 5

Following their debut album, 'You Belong to Dax Darling'  in 2011, a full support tour with Charlotte Church, and high profile shows with the 
likes of the band everyone seems to be name-dropping, The Strypes, Houdini Dax are back with a brand new single 'Our Boy Billy' on Cardiff's
burgeoning new record label, The Underclassed.  Houdini Dax' new single coincides with a Pledge Music campaign to fan-fund the band's
forthcoming album 'Darker Side Of Town'.  ‘Our Boy Billy’ showcases a more polished sound for the band, highlighting the Dax's ever-prevalent 
infectious hooks and melodies. From The Beatles to Tame Impala and from Supergrass to Black Rebel Motorcyle Club, Houdini Dax have a 
healthy concoction of influences and these flavours shine through brilliantly in their new material. The band are styling their new live shows in a 
similar fashion to how the great Harry Houdini promoted himself in the early 20th century; look out for magicians, suited comperes and expect a 
different kind of gig experience. The album 'Darker Side of Town' will be released in 2014 to coincide with a UK tour.

The Districts - 4th And Roebling

Oh walking through these lonely streets I keep you close to me,
but look at you now, nobody's gonna bring you down.
Oh dreaming things in a time of our own not thinking about what could have been,
but look at us now, tomorrow's on its way to town.

And I love the way you tell me things nobody knows.
And I love the sound of silence shaking through your bones.
And I love the words you sing to me from your soul.
So come on and set the world alight, 
come on and set the world alight!

Oh with a beat up body and broken mind and time slipping out of our hands,
I look at you now, nobody's gonna bring you down.
Oh dreaming things like a time of our own, not thinking about what could have been,
and look at us now, tomorrows on its way to town.

And I love the way you tell me things nobody knows.
And I love the sound of silence shaking through your bones.
And I love the words you sing to me from your soul.
So come on and set the world alight, 
come on and set the world alight!

Don't let it fade away, open your arms today, and he'll never bring you down!

Get Your Goo On

Fiend

I’m swearing old doubt, with all the wrong words.
I’m worried and wired that this might hurt

Giving up is wrong when you’re in love
Giving up is wrong when you’re loved

I’m crossing old lists, from trees once kissed
Trying to find the old words I missed

Right between the moon and sun
Lost within the tale I’ve spun

But we won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re done.
Won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re gone.

I’m rolling old beds, and I know nothing more.
Release me from running back down the first floor

Giving in to old when you’re done
Giving in to feeling someone. 

But we won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re done.
Won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re gone.

And we're gone, gone, gone. (repeat)

Gone, Not Gone (demo)

Los Angeles Police Department - Insecurity

This is our brand new single 'Apple Tree', it's released on Jealous Lovers Club March 1st 2015. "A juicy nugget of pop goodness filled with indie rock riffs and luscious three-part harmonies, 'Apple Tree' takes aim straight at your feet - designed to make you dance and groove 'til you drop." 

Filmed on a glorious day in Wales, we got our very own Mini Dax (the super-talented Fin, Jack and Charlie) to headbang and swagger their way through a country house courtyard - like a more mature Britpop video.

'Apple Tree' is our first release of 2015, giving a preview of our fan-funded upcoming album 'Naughty Nation'.
