Gold Medall

Robot's post on his very good new favourite band™ Dyno (those with a short memory see below) reminded Pigeon to write about his very good old favourite new band (they've been around a while now) Medallist.

The specific memory jogger was the bit in Dyno's 'DESTROY! DESTROY!' that goes "Destroy, destroy". It sounds like the bit in Medallist's 'Respond' (no caps or exclamation here) that goes "Respond, respond". We'd call this section in both songs a refrain I suppose.

So, a bit about Medallist:

i. They sound like Muse's younger sibling. This is a good thing.

b. The new tracks on the myspace sound like Muse's younger sibling have been listening to Enter Shikari. This is also a good thing.

3. They do not have a standard myspace layout. This suggests some sort of industry involvement. This is a good thing.

iv. The tracks on their myspace are all very good. We like 'Communicate' the best. This is a good thing.

e. Pigeon has go their track 'Respond' on his iPod, and it is amazing, but he has no idea where it came from and it's not on their myspace any more. This doesn't make much of a difference to Pigeon's life, but is not a good thing for anyone who doesn't already have it on their iPod.

6. You can get a free EP here. Free music is always a good thing (maybe not for the band, but that's more something for a dissertation than a blog post).
