Blood is part of the soundtrack of two movies: It’s Kind of a Funny Story and Crazy Stupid Love.

Brother – Matt Corby

Here is another Australian musician I discovered thanks to my roommate.

Matt Corby is a singer/songwriter who came to fame when he participated to Australian Idol in 2007 (he didn’t win, but was runner up). Since then, he released a few EPs and signed with a renowned indie label in the UK. He recently released an EP called Into the Flames
