After listening to Lykke li’s newest album more and more it has really grown on me since the first time I popped it in. The first time I listened to the record I wasn’t really in the mood but could tell it would be something people out there would be interested in. Feist, Justice, and [...]

Have you heard of Paper Route? Well if you enjoy Band Of Horses or if you would like a slightly more indie version of The Get Up Kids, then there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy them. Better still, why stream a song if you can download one and keep it? RCRD LBL has “Empty House” [...]

Somewhere between the band’s first album and their second one Anberlin stepped up their game 900% and ever since, everything they have touched has been absolute gold. The 3rd album, ‘Cities’, was so over the top amazing that ‘New Surrender’ may not seem as impressive but I’d argue that it’s just as good. Let [...]

Magnolia Sons has Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, and Bruce Springsteen listed as some similar artists and while I wouldn’t completely disagree, I would say that they are almost closer to Goo Goo Dolls, or even Matchbox 20. Either way, the band’s new EP is just flat out really good. You should be hooked, literally, within the [...]

Deas Vail released their last album, ‘All The Houses Look The Same’, in the beginning of 2007 and at that time they were simply a band whose name I had seen around but not really cared to seek out and actually listen to. Once I finally did listen to them, I was forever in [...]

Underoath recently posted on their myspace page that they would be putting a few golden tickets (Willy Wonka style) into random CDs which would grant you free access to any of their shows forever. I am so on board with this idea for several reasons, the first being that if you are a fan of [...]

Lakes is such a talented band and Seth Roberts in particular is an amazing song writer. The band put up a new song from their upcoming record and I thought “The Heart Is An Anchor” was especially fitting to recommend today considering it’s my 2nd wedding anniversary. The song falls inline with the rhythmic, building [...]

Well it looks like Fall Out Boy will be releasing their new album, ‘Folie a Deux’, on November 4th. Anyone excited about this band still? My guess is yes, but it will definitely take a stellar album to get back some of the original fans from ‘Take This To Your Grave’.
You can download some new [...]

It’s always good to go back and revisit a past daily rec especially one like Corey Crowder. Corey is set to release a new album through Tooth And Nail Records which should be very good judging from the lead single, “Southern Way”. His style is definitely an acoustic one but it also is very rock [...]

Jack’s Mannequin is the now several year old band of former Something Corporate singer Andrew McMahon. The chorus from the song “Lullaby” says, “Give me something to believe in, a breath from the breathing, so write it down I don’t think I’ll close my eyes cause lately I’m not dreaming, so what’s the point [...]

Weezer’s newest [red] album is on sale at Amazon for only $5. Personally I really enjoyed the album and think it’s more than worth it. Don’t know how long the deal will be around so grab it if you’re interested.
P.S. The best song on the album is “Heart Songs”.

Popular hardcore rockers, Underoath are back in the spotlight with another loud album. ‘Define The Great Line’ realigned the band with their hardcore, take no prisoner, roots and now ‘Lost In The Sound Of Separation’ only continues on the same path with heavy songs that don’t really cater to those looking for another ‘They’re Only [...]

Copeland recently made a big announcement about their new album and made it in an equally as big way. The viral marketing game is one which Fall Out Boy, Brand New, and other bands have just naturally graduated towards while others have sort of just side stepped. We’ll be diving into the marketing and musical [...]

I became aware of Nevertheless from their last album, specifically the song “The Real” which was their pop punk anthem. This new record has the band in a much slower and less “punk” light. A lot of the songs are lead with an acoustic, at least initially. The most noticeable thing though is how much [...]

Deas Vail has one of the best vocalist in the scene right now which is proven over and over again in the new EP, ‘White Lights’. The 5 songs feel a bit meatier and more mature in their approach than the band’s debut album however, style wise, Deas Vail remains about the same. “Last Place” [...]

Underoath has put up a new song for streaming. “The Only Survivor Was Miraculo” is just as hard as anything the band has done for the first half and then breaks down to a slightly softer side.
A question that may be a little random that I’ve had about the band was did they make the [...]

I got an email about Gentlemen At Arms and will throw it out to the readers, what do you think? Some of the stuff I like and some I don’t really. I’m finding it hard to tell if the stuff I don’t like is because it’s not my cup of tea or I just don’t [...]

More and more I’m convinced that everything Anberlin touches is absolute gold. They have a familiar style that’s not formulaic and time after time are able to keep the songs refreshingly new sounding. ‘New Surrender’ is the next iteration and evolution for the band and although it may not be the big leap that ‘Cities’ [...]

Above everything thing else, this band feels like a failed answer to Mercy Mercedes. There is nothing overly fun, exciting, interesting or anything else about the songs or the dance punk style. In the end there’s little, if any, reason to keep listening over an over.
Listen to Artist Vs. Poet
Song to start with: “An Infallible [...]

It was pointed out by a reader in the comments that Philmont released a new EP today and it turns out the pop/punk band has something worth listening to. Sure there’s not a whole lot new but during the break down of “I Can’t Stand To Fall” hints of Relient K began to show and [...]

I know there are some people out there that need to listen to only bands and artists that are not well known and so here is Lykke Li. The pop singer has a very scattered and unique style that is also very popular right now. She should peek the interest of Feist fans and appeal [...]
