The Mocking Jays -
Did you really think I could write this and not mention the boys in the band? We all know that TMJ are one of my all-time favourite bands and I will happily sell my soul for this band. I cannot even explain how much this band means to me, I have 5 tattoos for this band. I have seen them live like 14 (I think) times, I've had KMN dedicated to me three times and ICBWYL once. It's a known fact that I love this band more than most people assume. I force everyone I'm friends with to listen to them because if you can't support my friends I don't want to know. For the past 2 and a bit years I have loved this band more than most people would, so when I say that you need to listen to them, I mean it. Go and listen to them if you haven't already, see why I love them as much as I do.

Top Picks - I Can't Be (Without Your Love), Kiss My Neck, Funny Bones and Cold Hands (because that song deserves better than the boys give it).
Distant Blue -
Again, if you didn't expect them to be on this post then I don't know what to tell you. I am so proud of them because tell me what song they have that's shit, you can't, because they have no bad songs! I would also sell my soul for this band because they're incredible. It doesn't matter what song you listen to, because you're going to be impressed. They're also incredible live, and yes I do want a Distant Blue tattoo don't judge me. Honestly, they're one of my favourite bands I've ever worked with, and they're the nicest set of lads. I cannot even explain how lovely they are, miss seeing them at shows. Honestly, they're one of the best bands, and I cannot encourage you enough to go and check them out and show them loads of love and support!

Left Hand Lane -
Left Hand Lane is another solid Notts bands, and their latest track My Confession is still in my top 5 most listened to currently. Still obsessed with it, it's such an incredible track and if you haven't heard it yet I suggest you go and listen to it! They're super talented, and I can safely say that they seem like lovely people but I've only held conversations with Pearce but he's lovely! So 100% would recommend them!

Top Picks - They only have two tracks out so My Confession and Skank
Embxrs -
I featured Embxrs on the blog, yesterday since they'd released 3 different lockdown sessions, and honestly, they're incredibly talented and they deserve some love and support, because they're just starting off as the band, and they're super talented. Honestly, I would really recommend them to you!

Near Mrs -
Another incredible band! Had the pleasure of seeing them live and they're great live. I loved seeing them live and I would highly recommend them to you! I reviewed their last single when it came out a few months ago, and I rated it highly, so go show them some love and support because they're a band more people need to hype!
Top Picks - again, they only have three tracks out so She Goes, Catch of The Day and That Much I Know

Don't Forget Rupert -
Now DFR is going through a bit of a rejig let's say that. If you keep up with the Notts scene then you'll probably know what I mean. But yeah, Don't Forget Rupert as we knew them doesn't exist. But Ben did say he has a new lineup and everything, and this isn't the end of the road, but stay tuned to find out what that is. But I have to mention them because I do have Long Time Coming tattooed on me.

There are plenty more great Notts bands and I would tell you about them all, but I simply don't want to make this post any longer, because it's a big, one but Embxrs are great, I did review their two covers the other day, I'm excited to see what comes next with them, so make sure to check out their covers, Kid Amelia were incredible live when I saw them in October, there's Black Cats and Magpies, Deco, The Half Eight are no longer as they were, but Charlie is putting out covers currently, so check them out. There's so many great Notts bands, but yeah support them!
