I, like many others, find myself completely hooked on "reality" television programmes. Made in Chelsea, The Hills, The City, Geordie Shore, Jersey Shore, The Only Way is Essex - you name it, I watch it (listing the programmes and coming to realisation as to how many I actually watch really makes me doubt the strength of my social life, maybe I need to start getting out a little bit more...). Nevertheless the final episode in the current series of Made in Chelsea aired last Monday, and whether you watched it or not, it included an excellent soundtrack. I hunted down on youtube the band 'Bastille' who have such a White Lies vibe to them. Scrolling down at the comments below in regards to their youtube vid, many of the most recent comments consist of the 'Made in Chelsea brought me here!' sort. Television programmes and movies are such a great use of promo for unknown bands and artists, some of my all time favourites have been distinguished via tv shows e.g. Death Cab for Cutie featured in the OC. E4 seem to get it spot on in terms of their music engineers arranging music for their television shows - Skins and Misfits have continuesly great soundtracks, and the entire first series of Made in Chelsea, in my opinion, has consisted of some great material.
Judge for yourselves... (both artists are featured on the final episode of MIC)
