Bored To Death - blink-182 [LYRIC VIDEO]

Pre-Order "California" now at: http://Blink182.com Available everywhere July 1, 2016 Join us this summer on the road with The All-American Rejects, All Time ...

At last- a new Blink album, ending the 5 year dry spell since Blink’s sixth studio album,‘Neighborhoods.’ This period has been filled with much tension and change in the group, resulting in the departure of Tom DeLonge and addition of  Matt Skiba, (singer/guitarist of Alkaline Trio). 

In light of the news, De Longe has stated “I don't want the legacy of the band to get fucked with. I do care about that,” which are the thoughts seem to mirror that of all their fans. 

Though the new album, California, will continue to be released after these comments, dropping on July 1st. It will be debuted with a tour opening with A Day to Remember, All American Rejects, and All Time low, beginning July 22nd.

English pop punk band, Lower Than Atlantis is seriously deserving of some love, with their killer vocals (made even better by strong english accents), compelling compositional form, and impressive instrumental talent. 

Though the song linked above is from their self-titled album released in 2014, their sound is still fresh and worth a listen!

A Day To Remember - Paranoia [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

A Day To Remember's music video for 'Paranoia' - available now on ADTR Records. Download it at http://smarturl.it/adtr-paranoia See A Day To Remember at Self...

After over two years, ADTR is “right back at it again,” releasing their new single “Paranoia” along with a music video and announcement of their spring tour with Parkway Drive and State Champs. 

Though the single definitely did not live up to the hype-  monotonous rhythms, thin texture, and lesser intensity of style and composition lend Paranoia to sound like a generic version of System of a Down- which shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise after having a listen to Common Courtesy. 

Needless to say, I’m pretty homesick for some pre-2010-sounding A Day to Remember.

Abandon All Ships - Loafting (Official Music Video)

Purchase 'Loafting' on iTunes - http://hyperurl.co/aas-loafting-single Purchase tickets to the 'Geeving' (Original line up) 5 year anniversary show in Toront...

So, Abandon All Ships reformed. This is not a drill.  They’re comin’ back with an ‘A Day to Remember meets early 2000′s Attack Attack’ sound. 

Pros: Sick new screams. Solid breakdowns. 

Cons: Somewhat disappointed in the clean vocals and lyric quality. My boys have done better! 

Overall: Still worth a listen and SO stoked to see what more these guys come out with in 2016!

1997 - Garden of Evil

Music video by 1997 performing Garden of Evil. (C) 2007 ANOTHER VICTORY

1997: Probably the greatest, most underrated band of all time. Perfect blend of timbre from male and female voices, killer harmonies, and lots of sick variation of style between songs on their albums. Check em’ out, ya’ll!

Never Shout Never’s Black Cat Tour will be the first of many concert reviews I’ll be posting, rating them and their opening acts on a scale of 1-10 on their musicianship, crown interaction, and overall ambiance! 

Musicianship: 9.5/10- Though Chris Drew came onstage groggy just having woken up from a nap, his musicianship was completely on point. Voice and musicality was almost as good, if not better than recordings. Switching from guitar, to uke, to the harmonica, to the fucking kazoo- Chris can do it all. Major props to the rest of the instrumentalists as well! 

Crowd interaction: 8/10- Although Chris did a great job musically, he seemed a bit distant and reluctant to fully interact with the crowd- not to mention he chugged an entire botle of wine on stage and was a bit tipsy by the end of the performance. The bassist compensated by thanking the crowd and trying to engage more. Thanks, you glorious, bearded beauty! 

Overall ambiance- 9/10- Overall, the Black Cat Tour was a great experience. I highly recommend spending the night jammin’ with these cats. They killed it!

Sometimes I Like To Lie - AnnenMayKantereit

Juhu! Am 18.03.16 erscheint unser Album "Alles Nix Konkretes". Sollte jetzt überall vorbestellbar sein. Vinyl, CD: http://bit.ly/1jlC9bz - http://bit.ly/1jlC...

AnnenMayKantereit is a German alternative rock group notable for singer Henning May’s edgy voice (and perfectly sculpted face). Formerly street musicians in Cologne, the band recorded and released their first album partially on the streets, and upon its release, gained thousands of views on their youtube channel. They began touring, playing festivals like the Appletree Garden Festivaland the Reeperbahn Festival, and even opened for the Beatsteaks and Clueso. 

Cute musicians with a rags to riches tale? What’s not to love?
