If you don’t know who The Streets are, they’re an electronic music group, led by vocalist Mike Skinner. They released five studio albums and were at their prime from 2001 until 2009. The Streets had a few successful singles too, throughout the mid-2000s such as ‘Fit But You Know It’ and ‘Dry Your Eyes.’
Listening to The Streets, you feel like you’re being taking on a drink and drug-fueled journey when lead vocalised Mike Skinner with songs such as ‘Blinded by The Lights’ follows the journey off pill popping in a nightclub.
I’m still not feeling anything, this has got to be a dud.
It’s been ages since i necked it, and smoked six tabs to the nub.
Belly’s not even tingling, i just feel a bit pissed..
No-one looks like minglin’, i cant see her or him..
And im thinkin’…
(Lights are blinding my eyes)
I’m gonna do another i think. Yeah, one more, these are shit.
And i’m thinkin’…
(People pushin’ by, and walkin’ off into the night)
These toilets are a piss take, queue’s bigger than the door.
Gotta get rid of this pill taste, what are they chattin so much for? – Blinded by The Lights
The Streets have released new music for the first time in around 6 years since their ‘Computers and Blues’ album back in 2011.
They released a pair of new songs in late December, ‘Burn Bridges’ and ‘Sometimes I Hate My Friends More Than My Enemies.’
Additionally, they have also announced a 2018 UK tour which many fans are excited about.
With 7 dates in April of 2018, in a variety of locations throughout the UK.
The new songs released still have the classic ‘street’ sound with Mike on clear and loud vocals over the electronic sounds.
We’re looking forward to seeing what else Mike will come up with and what fans think of the tour.
Will you be going?
