Scarlet Conviction

Scarlet Conviction is a four-piece rockband from North East England. The band is formed in 2011 by Charlotte Dawson (bass and vocals), Angela Dawson (lead guitar and vocals), Scott Jameson(drums) and Josh Thompson (guitar and vocals).
The band has been around for a few years already and they have an EP out, 'Just for Tonight' and a self-recorded demo CD called 'Tales from the Redwood'.
The band also has a few gigs coming up in Newcastle, South Shields and Byker.
I think 'Scarlet Conviction' is a really good rockband with their own sound. They are definetly worth checking out and 'Tales from the Redwood' is free to download on SoundCloud (the link is below).

Autumn is Awesome Tag

Credits: Google Image

I know Autumn already started a while ago and because it hasn't ended yet so I thought about answering the questions on this tag.

This tag is created by Rachel Whitehurst and she made a youtube video about the it (her youtube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/icallitambrosia/videos), but I thought I could translate this into a blog-post.

1. Favourite/least favourite thing about fall?
My favourite things about fall are thick sweaters/jumpers and thick sweatpants. I also have an obsession with beanies, so I love to be able to wear beanies indoors and outdoors in Fall. My least favourite thing is that the weather changes so much and I always end up dressing wearing either to thick or to thin clothes.
2. Favourite clothing item for fall?Sweaters and jumpers! My favourite sweater has "GEEK" on it and I bought it when I was in London. I got it at like a little market-stand at Covent Garden.

3. Favourite makeup item for fall?It's not really a make-up item but dark nailpolish is one of my favourite things for fall. Dark purple, dark red and dark green are my favourites. I also like tinted lipbalm in the fall because the colder weather always makes my lips really dry so tinted lipbalm is my fave makeup item for fall.
4. Favourite fall food/drink?
My favourite fall drink is mint or strawberry tea and my favourite fall food - more like a snack - is chocolate cake.
5. Fall tvshow premiere you're looking forward to the most?
The show already started a few weeks ago - which was in the fall though - but 'Once Upon a Time' season 2 just started over here. I absolutly love this tvshow because I love fairytales and I think the actors are really amazing. Also something I'm looking forward to a bit is Geordie Shore season 6 - guilty pleasure!
6. Favourite fall tradition?
I like Halloween but where I live we don't really celebrate it. I do like to watch Halloween movies but Halloween isn't that much of a hype where I live. I did go to a Halloween party this year so I finally go to dress up for it. But my ABSOLUTE favourite fall tradition is 'Sinterklaas' which is a Dutch celebration where you basically put your shoe in front of the fireplace - sometimes with a carrot for Sinterklaas his horse or a letter/drawning for Sinterklaas - and the next morning you find a gift in your shoe. Most shops are decorated with Sinterklaas-stuff, and I love the food that goes with it as well.

My October favourites

Albums:
These are some of the album's I've been loving:
*Lawson - Chapman Square Chapter II
The re-pack of their first album "Chapman Square" has finally arrived! I really love the acoustic songs and the new songs on it. My favourite song on the album is 'Parachute' because it's a bit of a new sound but I really like it!
*Union J - Union J
These X Factor cuties released their very first album. I already loved them when they were still competing on the X Factor and I absolutely loved their singles 'Carry You' en 'Beautiful Life'. So it was fair to say I got pretty excited for the album.  And I really wasn't dissapointed when I first heard the tracks. My faves are 'Where We Are (acoustic)' (only on the deluxe edition), 'Last Goodbye' and their cover of Demi Lovato's 'Skyscraper'.
*Lawson - iTunes festival
The Lawson-boys played a set at the iTunes Festival when they opened up for Jessie J. You can buy a few of the performance on iTunes. It's only €2,99 for 4 performances, it's worth the money!

Singles:
These are some of the singles I have been listening to in October:
*The Vamps - Can We Dance
Who doesn't like to jam out on this song?! This is an absolute feel-good-song and I'm in love with it!
*Katy Perry - Roar
This song is an absolute T-U-N-E! If you feel down, you just need to put this song on and I bet you feel better in no-time! "I got the eye of the tiger a fighter dancing through the fire cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar, louder, louder than a lion cause I am a champion and you're gonna me roar"
*Taylor Swift - Sweeter Than Fiction
Taylor wrote the song for the soundtrack of the movie "One Chance" with Jack Antonoff (guitarist in the band Fun.). "There you'll stand, ten feet tall. I will say, I knew it all along. Your eyes wider than distance. This life is sweeter than fiction" ♥
