New Noise...

Ok first of all I have huge news! I'm officially published! I've been working with Spin.com for their new global music website. I hadn't said anything up until this point because it wasn't exactly official but one of my pieces is on the site now. Check it!! Yay!!! Expect lots more where that came from. I just have to get my ass out to more shows. Its hard sometimes because there's always so much going on and most of the shows are pretty pricey.

Anyway, I just discovered a video of Dustin Kensrue (the love of my life) covering The Counting Crows 'Round Here'. Amazing. If Dustin Kensrue shat and called it music I would also love it, but seriously this is good.



The Loved Ones have a new song on their myspace which I'm pretty excited about especially after the disappointment that was Build & Burn. Maybe I need to give it another listen.

Here's a video of "Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C. (Sheep In Shepherds Clothing)" a new Anti-Flag song... STOKED!!!!



That's all for now I suppose.

Later Gators!

Good and Ready

Kay, so AP.com is streaming a track off of the new Anti-flag due to be released April 1st and I just had a few listens. I have never grinned and giggled like a little girl so much listening to a song than I did listening to "Good and Ready". I read various interviews with members of the band divulging that on this album they were going to try some new things (orchestras, choirs and various instruments). To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect because all Anti-flag albums are pretty much the same with the exception of a few songs here and there ("Cities Burn" from the album For Blood and Empire). If the rest of the album is anything like this one track I will fall in love with Anti-flag all over again and it will be wonderful. ;)

Anti-flag have also enlisted the help of producer Tony Visconti (T. Rex, David Bowie) on this album.

Drink, Drank, Punk

I just got the new (released July 10th) The Unseen album, Internal Salvation. It's quite predictable that I would love these guys considering their uncanny similarities to Anti-Flag. This new album is kickin' my ass. They still sound quite a bit like Anti-Flag but their sound has evolved since State of Discontent. It's obvious that they enlisted the help of a veteran producer for this album, it's much cleaner than any of their other albums. All I can think about when listening to this album is how much fuckin' fun they would be live.

Everyone should listen to this album!! Go get it right now!!!
