Been a while! Instead of mini-reviewing every CD I've listened to in the past YEAR, I'll just list off a few bands I'm really enjoying right now.Signal Hill - An instrumental post-rock group. Their self-titled EP is amazing.This Will Destroy You - Another instrumental post-rock group. Really great stuff. Very... Emotionally charged, I suppose.Caspian - Beautiful music. Listen to "The Four Trees"

Heya, kids. It's been a while. CD's!Deas Vail - All The Houses Look The Same - Beautiful CD, and I didn't expect anything less. The gorgeous song "Shoreline" really shows off how talented their vocalist is. I absolutely loved the CD, highly recommend it.Anberlin - Cities - Disappointing. Too much Nu-Metal influence. But! There are a few absolutely amazing songs, but overall it was a let down.Self

The Academy

2007-03-04T20:10:00.000-07:00

The EP'sRushmore Academy "Dramatics & Theatrics". For weeks after I got this, I had a really hard time taking it out of my CD player. It is incredible. It's Rushmore Academy as they have always been, but a tiny bit different - in a good way. It is so insanely catchy and energetic, that you just feel the need to learn all the words as soon as possible so you can scream along with it. It's just a

I was talking to one of my co-workers, a 45 year old hispanic guy, earlier this week about favorite movies. He told me that without a doubt his favorite movie is "The Polar Express". I was a bit taken aback, and asked him why. In his best english he replied, "It reminds me of when I was a kid". And that really got to me. That is what life is all about. It's about your first kiss. It's about

To our families, friends and most importantly, our fans, thank you for all your love and support over the past six years.

Heya, kids. Lets get right to it.BETWEEN THE TREES. I have been meaning to write about them, but I held back, because I think this album deserves a LOT of attention. This is one heck of a debut from this Florida band. "The Story And The Song" is gorgeous, romantic, energetic, tragic, meaningful, uplifting and brilliant. Their singer has got some PIPES. He's just absolutely right on pitch and

Charming

2006-11-16T18:44:00.000-07:00

My Love Me Electric CD came in the mail today. ^_^ It's called "Medicine And Magic" and is awesome. It's charming, much in the same light as Rushmore Academy. It's even got a "self-titled New Found Glory" feel to it. It's basically really awesome pop-punk. The gang vocals in 'I'll Count To Four' are really effective and fun. Check it out, eh?The Copeland show last night was incredible. Aaron

Read this article regarding Panic! At The Disco. Basically, they are saying "expect the unexpected" on their sophomore album. It also reads that they are all trying to learn new instruments.This band is the definition of pretentious. An ARENA TOUR? A BOX-SET? You're JOKING me. How much longer can they milk this album? I mean, sure, it's a pretty good album. It's fun and catchy, but it's just not

Interview With Scott Windsor Of Umbrellas

2006-10-08T16:42:00.000-06:00

I went and saw Umbrellas live yesterday. Incredible experience. I also got the opportunity to meet Scott beforehand and afterwards and asked him a few questions. This "interview" was conducted on two paper plates.Me: Is Angels & Demons based on an actual event?Scott: Based on living in a college town and not trusting the girls that live there.Me: What was the first step in recording/writing?Scott

A Little Turnaround

2006-09-19T22:36:00.000-06:00

After "The Alexisonfire Incident", I think I've come to a little turnaround. Nailed some great CD's. :D Lets lay them out.First, I'd been meaning to pick up Dave Melillo's debut EP, "Talk Is Cheap" for a while. So I did. And I found that Track 5, 'Morris County Blues' is an incredible song. Dave's got skill, the end.Also, I had ordered Goodbye Tomorrow's 3 song EP a while ago, but it was out of

So, I had kinda a rough day today, so I decided to go buy an album. I was looking for something... Harder. So, I checked for Norma Jean's newest release and it wasn't there. Thought about Underoaths new CD, but decided against it. I finally decided on "Crisis" from Alexisonfire. I had read some negative reviews about it, but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt.Now, I'll make this quick

Yesterday was Tuesday, which means a whole batch of new music is out. I go to Best Buy with a TOTALLY blank mind. I don't even remember how I GOT to the place, but the point is that I made it. When I started browsing the music section, I remembered I wanted the new Rory CD. Well, they didn't have a Rory paper-sleeve-bookmarker-tag-whatever thing. I finally found it behind one of the Rolling

All time low is no longer just a New Found Glory lyric(clever, huh?). I recently picked up All Time Low's newest release "Put Up Or Shut Up". First thoughts: Holy Fall Out Boy. The slight vibrato in the singer's voice reminds me of Patrick sooo much. But, FOB references aside this album holds well on it's own. Incredible Pop-Punk. 'Coffee Shop Soundtrack' is a great song, and every song is as

A Few Thoughts; Plus MORE?~=

2006-09-07T05:29:00.000-06:00

The past few years I have done what I call "rooting yourself in music". Music has really helped me few a lot of times in my life, and I thought I'd just say a few things. One thing that I love about music is that it doesn't care who you are. It's gonna sound the same if you are beautiful or ugly, it'll sound the same if you're 15 or 51. It doesn't care how much money you make or how many faults

Boys Like Girls. Take THAT Good Charlotte (Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money - but Boys Like Girls). But seriously. I got my pre-ordered Boys Like Girls CD on Tuesday and it's amazing. It's really really great preppy pop punk. Thunder is one of my favorite songs now. The lyrics are incredible: "Your voice was the soundtrack to my summer, do you know you're unlike any other? You'll

Off we go!Brightwood - First band that came to mind was Brightwood, the young and talented group from Portland. Their singer has an incredible voice and is full of passion. The music is energetic, intelligent and catchy. I

2006-08-10T02:15:00.000-06:00

So I think I've mentioned this band a few times before, but if you still haven't given A Hero From A Thousand Paces a listen, what are you waiting for? A five buck incentive? Cause I'd give it to you. Actually, I wouldn't, but seriously go and listen. Their song Philidelphia is stunning. I'm really looking forward to their debut full-length, which will be released on the fairly new label 1x1

I hope everyone loves the band This Providence. Such awesome music. Even better live show. They're working on a new full-length right now. It is going to be AMAZING... I'm pumped. :) Go buy their debut album: "Our Worlds Divorce". Best album of 2004, by far. Produced by Casey Bates (Forgive Durden, Gatsby's American Dream, Blane, Daphne Loves Derby), who is my hero.That is all.Listen To: Steel

Wanna rock until you explode?

2006-01-12T18:33:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted to rock so hard that you literally exploded? I sure did, and trust me I have finally found a perfect album for those who have similar desires...Many of you have heard of a band called Story of the Year. Yes they're very popular, and were all over the radio with such hits as, Until the Day I Die, Anthem of our Dying Day, and Sidewalks. As almost anyone with a brain can agree

hi kids SQUARED

Okay. Seriously. Go to www.purevolume.com/umbrellas and listen to "The City Lights". I can't stop listening to this song. It may be the best song ever written. Seriously. Just do it.Also, just listen to Best Interest. They're no more, but... Man. They are so freaking talented, eh. A lot of the members are in a side-project called: Transit Studio. The two samplers they have up now are AMAZING.

So, I bought Kitty Kat Dirt Nap's CD, I Am A Robot. I Am Talking Like A Robot., a while ago. I just remembered I had it a few minutes ago. I forgot how FUN they were. Seriously. It's such happy music. Catchy Pop-Punk with a warm lil synth thrown in there, with some female background vocals. Happy music. :) I suggest listening to: Adrienne Barbeaubot (With Chainsaw Hands. BZZZZZZ), (Hold Me Closer

Artist Spotlight: Houston Calls

Artist Spotlight: Houston CallsOkay. So, I may be Houston Calls biggest fan. Something about them... Probably how freaking catchy their songs are. And how every time I play one of their CD's, it makes ya feel good. All these guys are the coolest people in the world, too. Tom even gave me this T-Shirt he bought at a Californian pawn shop. It's really small, but it's the coolest thing ever. Also,

hi kids

Heya. I added a little "RANDOM BAND" thing to the right sidebar thing. Haha, pretty lame, but if you're bored, go check the bands that show up there. It'll be worth your time. <3So, I've finally come to the conclusion that Armor For Sleeps new album, "What To Do When You Are Dead" is a let down. I really like a few of the tracks, but only for a while... Too much of them is... meh. Just my two

Artist Spotlight: Copeland

2006-01-01T20:12:00.000-07:00

I got an idea. Do a band "profile" every once in a while. Like an "Artist Spotlight". Oh yeah. Catchy. Lets do it!Artist Spotlight: Copeland Yeah. So this band is amazing. Aaron Marsh (Vocals, Piano, Guitar, etc.) has one of the purest voices I have ever heard. The 2003 release "Beneath Medicine Tree" is one of my favorite albums ever. Emotional, soothing, and comforting. It's nearly perfect.

The End Is Coming

2005-12-18T16:02:00.000-07:00

Well, looks as if 2005 is coming to an end. And that means I should get my "Top [insert number here]" CD's of the year list all ready. I've been working on it for about a month or so, but I'm not quite happy with it yet. Still some CD's that should be higher. Seems like every CD should be a lil higher though, eh. :P And, of course, the CD's I haven't picked up until recently - they gotta fit
