(Re)Discovering Music

I love rediscovering music.

Last week I came across Trapt's self-titled cd and it has been on repeat ever since. I forgot how much i loved it, the songs are upbeat with lyrics that aren't so upbeat, but i love it none the less. Check it out.

Something Corporate. I absolutly love these guys and am still upset over their breakup. Some of my favorite SoCo songs would have to be Straw Dog, i love the piano entry of it. Down, again another awesome piano entry into the song, it's actually the main ringtone on my phone. Me and the Moon, love this songs to bits don't know why. The Astronaut. Ruthless. and basically all their songs. You should check them out.

Jack's Mannequin. Andrew McMahon is the lead singer of them, he was also the lead singer of Something Corporate. Like SoCo, i love just about every Jack's song. Their new cd is amazing and had Hammer's and String's on repeat for almost two days, Check them out also.

Thanks to Mandy VanDuyne, i have discovered School Boy Humor. At first i thought they were just going to be another pop group, with corny music & lyrics. But i listened to them and was happily surprised to find that their sound wasn't over popish, it had more of a rock sound to it, with lyrics that are more than just mediocre. My favorite song would have to be What If, i also really enjoyed their cover of 'Realize'

A Rocket to the Moon. Ever since last year i had heard a lot about A Rocket to the Moon. I go to college in Providence, RI and one of the kids that travels with them, actually lived down the hall from me the first trimester last year. It wasn't until a couple months ago that i actually listened to some of their songs and instantly fell in love with them. They've covered some of Tswift's songs, i almost like their version of 'Forever and Always' better than hers. *Shhh, i didn't say that* I recommand listening to them, 'If You Only Knew' is probably my favorite song of theirs.

I just bought The Maines 'Can't Stop, Won't Stop' album, i havent listened to it enough to really put my opinion out there, but from what i have heard its really good and they will probably make it to my repeat album list.

I also just bought Forever the Sickest Kids cd and love what i've heard so far, but haven't listened to it enough yet to form an opinion. But i can bet it'll also land on that list of albums that go on repeat.


There's many more that i could go on and on about, but i'll spare you the pain of that. If you haven't listened to some of these bands, i highly recommand that you do so.
