If you love bands and basically, music, you are in the right place! I will post here interviews, quotes, music videos, facts... everything related to bands. Sometimes I talk about YouTubers & other stuff too... I hope you like it!
Only a week ago, Good Charlotte was announcing their coming back. Not only they annouced that, but also we've already had the chance of watching a new music video by them, isn't that amazing? The single they previewed, "Makeshift Love" has its music video, which you can check out now! What do you think about it?
In my opinion, they're keeping their old sound, which is one of the things I like the most about them, so, I couldn't be happier. If we mix that with a funny video, we have "Makeshift Love". I can't wait to hear more new stuff by them. I.'m really excited for new music, what about you?
Only a few hours ago, the pop-punk band As It Is released the official music video for their song "Speak Soft". This is the third single and music video off their first album 'Never Happy, Ever After".
The video, just like the song, is about being between trying to bring someone you disappointed back to your life and wondering if you really deserve it. Well, that's my personal interpretation of the song! I really enjoy the lyrics of the song, especially the part that says: "I'd never choose to be me" - I relate to that one. And, I think that many people relate to that part too. Sometimes (or many times), I just wonder if I'd choose to be myself if I had the chance or not. The answer basically depends of my mood. Would you choose to be you? Besides that, the song also brings up the concept of progression. It talks about those moments when we see that we're not progressing at all, even though our intentions are good. We try to move forward and progress, but it feels like we're stuck somewhere.
Another meaning I see behind the lyrics is the feeling that you always make mistakes and let a certain person down, when maybe you don't make that many mistakes. After all, we all make mistakes and screw it all up sometimes, don't we?
I'm really excited to announce that Good Charlotte is back! They've comfirmed that they've reunited, which is more than amazing. Honestly, hearing the good news brightened my day. We've also got the chance of listening to a small clip with what seems to be the preview of a new song which can be listened in the Alternative Press page. Are you looking forward to listening to new stuff by them? I surely am!
Today, I was going to do a "10 covers", and it was the turn of one-man covers, but then a good idea came to my mind. 5 covers of the song 'This Is Halloween' which are very cool definitely looked like a nice idea - and is also chaning a bit could be cool.
1. To begin with, the lead singer of As It Is brings us a very cool Screamo version of the song!
2. Secondly, we have a very frightening metal version by Jonathan Young featuring Travis Carte that will make you freeze - but that you'll really enjoy:
3. Eva's Reason, is also bringing us a rock version of the song, mixing many different voices with different styles, which make this rock cover amazing:
4. Who said metal covers needed screaming to be amazing? Pellek shows us how they aren't needed always, with his cover of the song:
5. Last, but not least, we have Real Chanty with this great cover of the song!
I hope you guys enjoyed these covers! What are you doing this Halloween? And what are you dressing up as? ;)
Only a while ago, the post-hardcore band Memphis May Fire released the official music video for their song "Beneath The Skin" acoustic. It's such a beautiful song to version in an acoustic way, which gives a song a different perspective - a more emotional one, probably. I'm not going to review the song itself, because I already did so - click here in case you missed it!
This version probably turned a bunch of people into tears or made their hair stand on the end - it gives such a powerful and deep message. Very beautiful performance guys, keep it up!
Hi guys! First of all, I wanted to thank you all, because recently this blog has reached 6,000 reads, which is totally sick! So, thank you so much, it means a lot to me :) Well, today, the pop-punk band Simple Plan has released their brand new single "I Don't Wanna Go to Bed", with its official music video. This song has a lot to be talked about, so there we go. Let's be honest, this song doesn't seem to have a good acceptance among Simple Plan fans. Why? People don't like change, which is nothing new - and this song show us a different side of this band, which is pretty separated from their pop-punk sound from older albums. Nonetheless, that's not something new either, since their latest full-length album "Get Your Heart On!" had some tracks like "Summer Paradise" which is a pop, radio friendly song. What's the "problem" with that? Why do fans don't truly agree with that? Before I carry on, I want to clarify that this is the opinion I've seen in most of the fans, reading comments and listening to different opinions - which doesn't mean that it's what everyone thinks. Simple Plan fans, mostly, are people who started getting into this band because of songs like "Welcome To My Life", "Perfect", "I'm Just A Kid"... all these pop-punk songs, as their earlier albums, are songs about being young, angry at the world, feeling and being rejected, being left out... basically the emotions that people experience while growing up. After all, that's what pop-punk music is mostly about - being young, rejected, and not finding a place to belong, summing-up. For this reason, it's easy to understand that fans don't quite agree with this "change" that is visible in this song. But, don't freak out guys, "Get Your Heart On!" and "Get Your Heart On: The Second Coming" had songs which were more "pop", but they still had the kind of songs which were relatable and accurate. I bet you can't argue with me that "Lucky One", and "This Song Saved My Life", per example, are very relatable and accurate, right? And, to me, "Summer Paradise" brings me some really sweet memories. On the other side, they're no longer teenagers, they've grown up and they want to experiment with different things. I wouldn't want to do always the same if I were a musician, would you? I would like to try different things, I don't know. Believe me, I prefer the relatable and emotional songs rather than the catchy radio friendly ones, but, truth be told - no band stays the same forever. Maybe, instead of looking at it in a pessimistic way, we should see it differently. After all, whenever we want to listen to the relatable songs, we can. And different songs with different sounds isn't that bad. Don't you think so? Truth be told - the video is funny, and the song is rad.
Hey everyone! After two years of waiting to have a new album by them, 'Black Lines', the 5th studio album by the band Mayday Parade is finally out!
We had already had the chance of listening to three songs off the album: "Keep In Mind, Transformigation Is A New Technology", "One Of Them Will Destroy The Other" and "Letting Go", songs which gave us the possibility of having an idea of what the album would be like.
As some fans have called it, the album could be considered a "throwback to the pop-punk style they had in A Lesson in Romantics". For that reason, more than call it a brand new sound, actually it's more accurate to refer to it as an album with their old sound. However, that doesn't mean the album is bad or anything - in my view their old sound is great and probably the reason why it's having a very good reponse from fans up to date.
