New T&N Bands and my opinions you probably don't care about

So today I checked out the 3 newest Tooth and Nail bands...at least I guess they're the newest. I could be wrong. Anyway, first off, The Send. From what I've heard, I think it's pretty much just one guy writing music and being emo. To be honest, I feel like it's just some kid I found on myspace. I don't really see anything exciting about them and it seems more like something that Drive Thru would put out. Very disappointing for a T&N band, but hey, they've been letting me down quite a bit recently. Ruthrock is better, although they're still nothing really special. I enjoyed their stuff more than The Send, but I feel like there's something missing to their songs. The potential is there, so let's hope they'll pull it together in time for their album. Finally, we've got The Brothers Martin. I really enjoyed that song. I can understand why they're getting so much attention right now. I can't say I'm much of a Starflyer 59 or a Joy Electric fan but I really enjoyed the indieness they made there. Ok, I'm done pretending to be a music journalist-type person. Check those bands out and pine for the good old days of Tooth and Nail. I know I do...

huzzah!

Well, first off kids, I'd like to wish all of you how won't read this a Happy Christmas. Things are pretty crazy in my corner of the world though. It doesn't even seem like it's December 24th. We've had 40 degree weather and rain for the past week. Right now, it's really foggy here and we can't even see out church next door. Wonderful.

Anyway, I did do something pretty exciting the other day. Me and like 6 of my friends went to a Flatfoot 56 show. I hadn't been before and let me tell you, it rocked. Seriously, if you ever get a chance to see them live, go for it. You won't regret it. They're an actual PUNK band. As insane as it sounds, it's true. Oh, here: www.purevolume.com/flatfoot56 (Keep in mind they sound better live than on that recording.)

Well, it is now time for me to get ready for church, and from there, I get to go home and visit my (non-IL) friends and family!

new bands, kids

So, I found a new band recently called Hundred Year Storm. I was on Floodgate Records' website and I saw they and the band Oceans Firing were just signed. Oceans Firing is awesome. You need to go check them out. The other and more different band, HYS is really good too. Currently I'm in love with the song Mental. It's not actually a song but a recording of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech edited and put to music. It's amazing. The other songs are good too but I really like that one so head on over there.

The Wedding and Hit the Lights

So, I was just listening to Hit the Lights And it suddenly occured to me that his voice sounds quite a bit like the dude from The Wedding. It's crazy! Or, at least they're pretty similer. Whatever. Check it out.

Hooray, HTML does work in these blogs! Sadly though, when you use HTML it somehow screws up the Edit button. So if you use HTML in a blog (or comment i assume), you can't edit the post. Brilliant.
