Lord Huron: The Stranger
by I saw Lord Huron back in August at the Getty (In my home town of Los Angeles) and I thought something along the lines of: ‘Well, that was pretty good’. Then, more recently, I researched them a bit and downloaded their two EPs, which are phenomenal. They play a mix of calypso and alternative rock and you can download two songs for free at their website.

It goes without saying that Hip Hop has taken a few very low hits in the past decade. Thanks to the likes of 50 Cent and company, it accounts for around 40% of all music sold in America. It’s a huge industry. So where does that leave Hip Hop artists doing something a bit different? Lord T and Eloise wear wacky outfits, make crazy music and bring a whole lot of fun back into Hip Hop. What’s more, they’ve started a new genre called ‘Aristocrunk’. Watch out!
