Name Dropping 101 ; Feels Like July and My Cardboard Spaceship Adventure

>>I suppose I'll start with Feels Like July, since I'm listening to them right now. They're a band I found on Bam's List, and like all bands from that source, they have a great sound. "We Found A Home" is a free download, so get it while you can :] All of their songs have links to their lyrics, something I think is really cool for a band...

Name Dropping 101 ; Sederra

There's a list of bands I've been meaning to mention for quite some time now. Somehow, I've been distracted by the newer bands that have requested me and such, and I never got around to talking about these great ones. Let's get started then ? :] >>First on my list of "I Need To Mention You!" bands is Sederra. I should probably start off by...

So, here's a list of the songs that have been in my head. All day. :]"Seconds From Falling" - Everly"I Can Pretend Too" - The Great Valley"Her Eyes Will Tell...

Name Dropping 101 ; Part 6

I didn't realize how large the first post was until I checked it over. That might be the longest one yet. Oh well, that just means the bands gave me a lot to say :] >>This guy Bam gave me a list of bands to look at. [ His blog is pretty much about whatever he wants to write about, and that's why I love it. He's the merch guy...

Name Dropping 101: Jaded Son, The Bigger Lights

>>Two Words :: Jaded Son.  They're looking for a drummer, because they've lost theirs. They've got a great sound musicallyl. They recently added the song "Orange Afternoon" to their MySpace. It has a soft - rock sound, but you never get bored. The vocals ever so slightly remind me of Weezer, as does the general vibe of the song. The...

Name Dropping 101: Justin Nozuka, Can You Keep A Secret, and more

>>I don't know if anyone watches VH1 as obsessively as I do, but earlier this morning on the Top 20 Countdown, I heard "After Tonight" by Justin Nozuka. I'd heard a clip of the song before, but I never really listened to it. It's soft and acoustic with a smooth sound. His voice is sweet and amazing. The song is extremely adorable ; I don't...

Name Dropping 101: Lansdowne, Love Letter Radio

>>Let's start by talking about the band who's page I'm looking at right now: Down For The Count . The first song they have on their page is "Make My Day". It starts out soft, then kicks it up a notch. It really has a soft-upbeat-rock sound. I'm actually really fond if it :] The second song they have is "Paperback Novelty". This song, compared...

Name Dropping 101: The Maine, Tyler Kyte

As I mentioned last post, I think MySpace is a great way for artists to gain exsposure for their music. Today, I'm going to focus on bands I've found through MySpace, or found new music by, or those that just have a MySpace. >>I'd heard of The Maine before, but I'd never really heard anything by them. So I was looking around while on MySpace,...

Name Dropping 101: Kate Voegele, Ludo

>>Another CD I recieved at Bamboozle was a metal CD with a combination of different bands, the main one being Emmure. The other bands were With Blood Comes Cleansing, Bury Your Dead, Red I Flight, and Carnifix. I don't like metal for the simple fact of the screaming. It's just not something I want to listen to. In my mind, people write music...

Album Review: "A Place on Solid Ground" by The Hoodies

>>One of the CDs I recieved at Bamboozle was that of The Hoodies. It's called A Place on Solid Ground and it's amazingly wonderful. The Hoodies have a soft sound, but with a good beat. Personally, I could listen to this CD for days and not get bored. It's got 8 songs, starting with "Old Friends". It's only a minute and three seconds long, but...
