Top 5 Albums for Dad this Fathers Day!

By Dan

With Fathers day just around the corner we thought we'd let you know our top 5 albums for Dad on his special day!

1. Shihad – FVEY – For Dads that like to grumble about the government and have a no nonsense attitude, this is the perfect album to get him headbanging.

FVEY sounds unlike anything Shihad have done before, which is not bad for a band who have been around for 25 years. It's a beautifully raging and rumbling album but danceable and laced with grooves, perfectly highlighted in the first single ‘Think you’re so Free’.

2. Royal Blood – Self Titled – Guaranteed to get Dad up off the couch and rocking, Royal Blood Features their two singles to date, ‘Little Monster’ and ‘Come On Over’, the album is a mixture of anguished vocals, ferocious drumming and bass that provides intricate detail as well as a rumble of rhythm. Royal Blood are the result of a lineage that stretches from present day heroes Queens of the Stone Age to Led Zeppelin, and all the way back to early blues pioneers. . Their ferocious attack is the result of just two men!

3. Devilskin – We Rise – If your Dad wears a tonne of black and loves to listen to his music at gloriously high volumes, this is the album for him!

The music is at times visceral, urgent and bombastic but also tempered with tenderness, empathy and love. “We Rise is a roller coaster of emotions and moods, just like life” enthuses Paul Martin “there’s defi­nitely power and there’s definitely passion. The songs are very real, and brutally honest, just like our live show"

4. Temples – Sun Structures – If your Dads always going on about how good music was back in his day, introduce him to these guys and he'll see just how wrong he is!

Temples’ is destined to set out the band's stall as Britain's premier retro-futurists, with influences ranging from '60s psychedelia to Motown, glam, Krautrock and baggy, all viewed through a very modern kaleidoscope – and always keeping the song at the heart of it all.

5. Guardians of the Galaxy: Soundtrack – The perfect album for Dad this Fathers day, The Guardians of the Galaxy Soundtrack is guaranteed to take Dad on a trip down memory lane!

With a collection of 12 classic songs including Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling”, “I’m Not in Love” by 10cc, Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love”, and The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” there's sure to be a song for every Dad on this superb soundtrack!
