These bands are really mainstream, so this was a little bit of a fluke, it won't happen again.

alright, now that summer is almost over and i'm a little more motivated, here's some new music.

CAKE is a band from a while back. i don't know when and i don't really care. something like the 90's. They're good. They are sort of the beginning of synthrock, and everyone has heard short skirt/long jacket. yeah, that's them. If you can check out the album Comfort Eagle. It's a good starter.

BILLY TALENT is a punk band in its original form. Before Greenday and a whiney generation of tweens were seperated from their money by angsty teen music sung by 30 year old men, Billy Talent would have been lost in the noise. Now, they stand out above it. Both albums are good. Be careful listening to it in your car, however. It is running red light music.

CHIODOS is an indescribable band. They are a mixture, no, a perfect melding of wailing, soulful singing, gorgeous harmonies, and hardcore screamo. The Heartless Control Everything, Bone Palace Ballet are good albums, but my personal favorite is All's Well That Ends Well. IF YOU ONLY LISTEN TO ONE OF THESE BANDS, MAKE IT THIS ONE.
