Blood by The Middle East
The Middle East are close to, if not the most exciting thing to come out of Australia in a long time. Debut EP, The Recordings of the Middle East, offers many beautiful layered melodies, poignant lyricism and a serenely expansive sound. Hailing from Townsville in Northern Queensland, The Middle East are certainly a band to watch in the next twelve months.

This song is called Blood. Its emotive themes of nostalgia are joyous yet heartbreaking, resulting in a brilliantly emphatic anthem that begins gently before building to a raucous finale.
