I THOUGHT WRONG

If you're in university at the moment then you're probably, like me, revising for your exams; and, yet again if you're like me, you're probably wondering what music best soundtracks revision. I've found that a lot of up-and-coming music is pretty irritating to try and study to due to the fact that it's often difficult and intrusive, even bands I would say I was a fan of I could simply not work to. But thanks to a revival in shoegaze and C86 influenced music on both sides of the Atlantic I have managed to concoct a soundtrack of bands that aren't too intrusive yet aren't boring, are intellectual yet aren't heavy going. I'm talking about old bands such as The Field Mice, The June Brides and The Popguns and new bands such as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Vivian Girls. So if you would like some musical accompaniment in those last few stressful hours then I heartily recommend checking out the aforementioned acts.
