This one was harder for me then I thought it would be. My taste in music has changed so much over time. If you had asked me this question back when I was 15 then I would have answered it easily. Now, at 23, I have changed a lot and so have my favourite artists. I used to be absolutely obsessed with MCR, they were the first band I saw live, but I don't really listen to them at all now. So I will share some of my favourite bands atm and then some of the songs I can't stop listening to as well.

Prime Circle

Prime Circle is a South African band, I probably have my boyfriend to thank for these guys. He was born in South Africa and moved to the UK when he was 6, the family have visited SA to see family a lot since. That's when he found this band and he shared it with me when we got together 7 years ago. I absolutely love them and got to go see them live in a small venue in London and then got to meet them all after! They're not big over here so that's a bonus whenever they play here, the venues are tiny and they meet you after.

Imagine Dragons

I remember seeing the trailer of The Host on TV and loving the song on it. I decided to look it up on YouTube and, whilst I was at it, the song used on the Perks trailer as I loved that too. When I saw both songs were by the same band I knew I had found a new favourite band. I went out the next day and bought the album and loved every song on it. I went to see them live for my birthday last year and had the greatest time. 

Those are probably the two bands that I would say are my absolute favourites. The rest is a really big mix and I wouldn't really know who to pick. But I do have some songs that I can't stop listening to at the minute.

Songs I'm Currently Obsessed With

Lennon & Maisy - That's What's Up
This Wild Life - Sleepwalking Cover
Sleeping At Last - Turning Page
Of Monsters & Men - Little Talks
Ella Henderson - Ghost

I listen more to rock music then anything else, it's practically all that's on my MP3. But my dad, who picks me up and drives me home to visit the family every Sunday, listens to Capital FM so there are quite a lot of songs that I become addicted to thanks to that. 

I'm currently celebrating July with a giveaway! I am giving 6 winners the chance to win a book of their choice, worth up to £10, from Book Depository. For all the details you can go to the original post.
