Song of the Day - Lebanese Pride

Today's song of the day comes from a country that is not renowned for it's music scene: Lebanon.

That's right - today's band, Who Killed Bruce Lee, originate from Lebanon, and have one of the best band names I've ever seen.

Their music hasn't charted in the US or UK, unsurprisingly enough, but it has gained attention on the Internet as has much of the music I've covered. Their upcoming album is set to come out this year, which may be worth a listen.

Their music has been described as indie, dance and electro-rock, which is a bizarre mix, but as soon as you listen to We Could Be Lovers you'll see why.

So What's So Good?

I use the word infectious a lot - whether it's describing the tune or just a catchy hook, but I don't think there is a song which deserves it more than this. We Could Be Lovers is stupidly funky and a really joyful song. It's incredibly energetic and powerful, if a little eccentric. The guitars and synth meld perfectly together to create a beat which will have you tapping our feet. 

Vocally and lyrically, it's nothing hugely different, but lead singer Wassim Bou Malham's voice is eccentric and radiant - it sounds like he's never been sad. 

And with a beard like that, how could you?

We Could Be Lovers is a bizarre but incredibly fun ride through different genres of music bought together through a tight and intricate balancing of guitar and synth tied together with Malham's cheery vocals to create a unique indie tune.
