Hey Guys,

Not Much has went on like I said I've been getting into power metal since I went to Ozzfest (Breakout Performances: Trivium and Mastadon). So I've been listening to a lot of bands from europe like Tierra Santa, Angrus, Shadow Gallery and other awesome power metal bands i really say you should all go check them out when you have the chance.

I've also been having a blast with a little program called guitar pro, if your a musician get this. With the large archive of tabbed out music online guitar pro really helps you understand how most music is put together and really helps your writing.

I hate Jamison Parker, why does anyone like Jamison Parker is beyond me it's so boring and uninteresting but I guess a lot of music has been latley. There has definetley been some awesome highlights latley. Like the Cardinal Sin who features former members of Cadillac Blindside, I saw them last year live with Treysuno and The Lawrence Arms.

Another sweet band is Skyrocket some atmospheric indie goodness though the vocalist seems like a less talented version of the Death by Stereo vocalist.

And last I'll leave with you todays Now!load which comes from an Awesome Equal Vision records band, The Fall of Troy.

For all you hardcore lovers The Esoteric is pretty freaking sweet, very orignal atmospheric hardcore, sounds kind of weird, cause it is in a very very good way.

Sorry guys that I havn't posted for a few days, I've got a new guitar and got lost in the whole song writing deal, to check my stuff out just look up Alex Merced. Well, I have heard one really sweet band laltey, they are of montreal. They play a synth filled indie pop but with a heavy beatles influence. Check them out at http://www.ofmontreal.net/. They are on tour with Grand Buffet one of the best hip hop duos ever, if havn't seen Grand Buffet before you should find a way to see them cause they are awesome. That's really all I got for now, but honestly, of montreal is so good they are worth making a whole post just for them.

Hey everybody, I'm not officially 20 years old and I have a cold, what a great day, haha. Well I thought I'd run thorugh some new releases and what I think of the bands so here we go.

Youth Gone Mad - Puke (http://www.youthgonemad.com/): This is real gritty rock with real grainy and beat up vocals, and the production is RAW, real raw, but for some reason I really think the songs are pretty sweet.

Bullet Treatment - The Bigger, The Better (http://www.bullettreatment.com/): This is old school hardcore, which I was never into, though i spend a lot of time NYC, the old school has never been my thing, but if it is, this 7" might just be for you.

Dexter Danger - Hellofornia (http://www.dexterdanger.com/) - I remember getting these guys old ep from the orange peel records tent at the warped tour. I have to say they've beocme a lot tigher but they are still a little bland. Their like Emo with beatles influence, saying that I know will make a lot of people gag, but it's cool, if your a fan of emo well these guys should float your boat.

In Stereo - Death before Emo (http://www.instereomusic.com/) - for a band that was only formed like 5 months ago, these guys have there shit together. But yes, this is very powerpop heavy witha dash of emo. It's pretty good, in a mainstream relient k kinda way.

The Universal indicator - Grandstand of Horror (http://www.theuniversalindicator.de/) - Well this is a very sloppy punk band from germany, seems they're more about politcs from their song titles. It's pretty good, despite being really off time punk fair, the songs do have some charm. Not my thing.
