The Doppler Effect

The Doppler Effect is a six-piece Pop Rock band from New Hartford, New York. They are about to release their new EP titled "Just Dance!" in early March 2009. I recently Downloaded this EP, and i can say that it is mind blowing, the best piece of pop punk iv heard all year, and to come from such a small band its brilliant. There CD release show is supporting We The Kings, There For Tomorrow and Versa Emerge! Not a bad way to release your CD, They dont just drop were with the impressive list, this band has supported such artists as Mayday Parade, You Me And Everyone We Know and I Am The Avalanche. There new cd is a must have when it comes out in march, the soft vacals are a great match with the dancy pop punk music, Each song offers you something different and they dont all sound the same its simply brilliant, you need to check this band out before they break through into the scene.....

Forever Wednesday

Iv been listning to "Forever Wednesday" now for a while and still havnt got to see them live so i cant comment on that which is a shame, hopefully i will be able to soon. These guize write some of the biggest and catchiest new sounds, the sound has a happy yet still emotional feel to it which will always leaves you wanting more. The powerful vocals from lead singer Sam King are crazy, there beat always makes want to dance especially in the song "Katherine" some points in the song the beat is just perfect for a two step, then they will just come out with powerfull vocals making you want to sing along. Doing a mini tour of 3 days in march with thier good friends "LYU" who are amazing too, i advise you to check them out and get down to one of these shows as you will not regret it. Their self-titled debut EP, produced by Jason Wilcock (Enter Shikari, Fightstar, You Me at 6, Rueben and Ghost of a thousand) is one that you should be buying yourself! "Watching You Fall Apart" is the song i recommend mostly its a song to have on your myspace so people can ask you who and were to find this band out, such a promosing you band for the future.

Maycomb

this Powerpop indie group from wolverhampton are a fantastic find, i found them as they commented me on myspace and as i went to comment them back i found myself trapped in the song "Honey" the beautiful vocals make them sound that much better. With merch from just £6 and getting a free 5 track EP with every purchase i can asure you its money well spent, there not your average pop punk, which is good in a way because there writing music that they love and is there own sound, not like most bands just wanting to be the next all time low or boys like girls. This band remind me alot like Cartels second album in a way, it is a pop punk feel but you can tell a lot of hard work has gone into writing the music so it doesnt sound like everything out there, with only hitting up 70,000+ plays on myspace you should listen to this band while thier luke warm because in a few years these boys will be steaming hot and selling out venues across the UK, playing a few gigs upuntil may supporting Frech pop rockers Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! If you live in the Birmingham area i suggest you get down and see them, or even if you dont get down and see them, i'll be praying they get to leeds sometime soon so i can chill with these guize and find out about them, excellent find, so glad they just commented me.

She Said She Said

recommened by a friend i decided to take a look at this band, at first i thought hmm there pretty small, but as there player got going the song problems really caught my attention, it has a very good sound to it, a bit like boys like girl only more upbeat and catchier. That May be a strong statment but thats what i thought while i was listning "Its A Long Drop From The Top" is a little slower but yet still lives up to the hype of the first song, i'll be keeping a close eye on this band who seem to struggle to get gigs outside of Kidderminster and Birmingham, they are set to release a debut EP soon so keep your eyes open for this new band and go check them out and help support the small bands

The Fallout Theory

The Fallout Theory are a band that would be labeled pop punk / emo, i would say thats fair but they offer alot more that just that, thier songs are original and full of heartfealt lyrics. Thier song "Dont Show Up Perfect" is a piece of music genius, the upbeat tempo drives my heart crazy and has me tapping the beat on my knees while i try write this blog. The boys at the moment are working ther arses of trying to perfect there songs in practice to get them just perfect for a hopeful tour this summer, dont quote me on this but aint they best friends with dan scotty hmm i smell an amazing few weeks of music there, they should also be heading into the studio late september so expect big things from this band this year, after touring brazzzzzil anything could happen for these young talented lads and im just hoping they get it because i have both thier CDs and altho they first one is weak in vocals the second one is much much better, "The New Face Of Fashion" is a must have in your record collection and i predict there new one will be too

The Story So Far

Whenever i listen too The Bigger Lights, this huge smile comes across my face, They self-produced and recorded thier EP "Third Act Stories" was released in November of 2007 and was a massive hit across the internet. Thier second EP "Fiction Fever" is as beautiful as they come, they are a fairly new band to the scene so just give them until the end of '09 and i swear everyone will be singing thier songs. The group signed with indie powerhouse Doghouse Records (The All-American Rejects, Say Anything, Jet Lag Gemini) in the summer of 2008, less than one year after forming.

A Day To Remember

This is about "A Day To Remember" i guess, But i mainly wanted it to be about thier brand new record HOMESICK yes i downloaded this like last month, sorry guize its what i do lol, but i fell in love with this as soon as i put it on "The Downfall Of Us All" is a fantastic start to the album its a half a song for me , its too short to be a song but too long for an intro, perfection would be another word for it, 2 more songs i want to cover "I'M Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?"(ft. Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada) this songs chorus is amazing, has me sining the lyrics every second of the day when i here it just once but whose compliaing when it sounds that good eh?, and the other song is "If It Means A Lot To You" (ft. Sierra Kusterbeck of VersaEmerge) this song is beautiful, really shows off jeremys great vocals and the fact that the boy can sing, also Sierras voice perfectly matchs the song, and at the end of the song when it all kicks in a bit, i get butterflys everytime. Nothing else to say except this album is a massive 5STAR 10/10 Record
