The anthems for the summers football World Cup is starting to pop up. Englands FA earlier announced that there will be no official england anthem this year. There's always a bunch of unofficial songs turning up though. Good for us since the synth electro scene hardly gets the official nod. Johnny Normal is an english electro pop/rock artist and he has now released his electro style anthem to help boost englands chances of World Cup glory. Exactly what they have needed for quite some time, suffering under weak mainstream pop anthems.

Johnny Normal - God Save The Team

Listen here

Johnny Normal creates a musical bag of 'Englishness' that finds its roots in pop, punk and electronic music from the 1980s onwards. Johnny's inspiration is drawn from the life he sees around him, the things people gloss over... everyday stuff like family, fried breakfast, relationships, fear, envelopes and being run over. ""English, original and Barking Mad at times"" The style of johnny normal is very much what electronic 1980 England should have been together with a an oddly modern edge. Grab a bunch of Gary Numan, Human League,The Sex Pistols, OMD, Adam & the Ants and Ian Dury...stick them in a mincer and look what comes out... New album 'There's Nothing' available now.

For the 2002 World Cup Sweden got an even better electronic anthem though. So far no anthem is anywhere near Tyskarna Från Lund and their "Global Fussball OK". This is really an example for other anthem creators to follow. Brilliant!

Thinking of making an anthem yourself? Please make anthems like "Global Fussball OK" for the World Cup in South Africa this summer. Just because the World Cup 2010 takes place in Africa don't be tempted to do some silly "world music". More electro and we will all be fine!
