Pretty Vicious

An "Unruly Welsh Gang" moves into music.

Pretty Vicious's new song "Move," which came out at the end of the summer, is said to be a great example of what's to come in the early months of 2019.

The foursome consists of Brad Griffiths, Elliot Jones, Jarvis Morgan, and Tom McCarthy. In true rock and roll fashion, when on the phone with Brad, he's unapologetically himself and talks passionately about what moves him and what he wants from the band going forward.

Lead vocals and guitar player, Brad Griffiths, explained that their punk rock stylings that come out in "Move" will be on full blast with the new album. Their first EP, "Cave Song" offers that same amount of gritty pop-rock, and since it's release in 2016, the band has been working to release their first full-length album, which is set to come out in the early stages of 2019.

Pretty Vicious, a band of four, hail from Merthyr Tydfil in the United Kingdom, and that's where a lot of their self-proclaimed "unruly Welsh" persona comes from and not as moody as other punk rock or alternative rock groups that have made their way over to the States. Brad said that instead of coming in as the other bands did with their moody tunes and looks, he wants America to see them as something more.

Even though their first album has yet be released, Pretty Vicious is in no way rookies to the music scene. They've opened for acts like Stereophonics and Noel Gallagher and have even played at Glastonbury Music Festival in Somerset, England which sees about 130,000 concert goes throughout five days. They've also had their songs, "Are You Ready For Me" and "Ain't No Fun" appear on different gaming soundtracks, and "Move" has earned its place on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Chart.

As the punk rock and Britpop lovers await the release of their new album, there is still plenty of Pretty Vicious music to hold them over until then.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
