Sons of Seymour

  Sons of Seymour is a Pop/Rock band from Mississippi. It's two brothers, Logan and Dylan Seymour, who make music and do covers. They relocated to New York in 2013 and are very talented.
  The sound of Sons of Seymour is soft, but they also have some powerful notes that blow you out of the water. There's also a nice compilation of instruments in the background that brings everything together. This really shows in their song 'Maybe' you can find on their facebook. They also do covers, and from what I've seen, you can request songs by commenting on their instagram videos. They also have short clips of the covers they do on instagram and they all sound really good. Sometimes it'll just be the Logan and Dylan, and sometimes there's 1 or more persons with them.
  If you go to their youtube, you can find videos of them live and songs they've done. One song I really like by them is It's Not Over; their voices are just magnificent. Sons of Seymour also sound great live and it seems they put on a pretty good show. If you live in New York, I highly suggest checking them out. Even if you don't live in New York, check them out; it'll definitely be worth it!

3 Quarters Dead

  3 Quarters Dead is a hard rock / metal band from North Carolina consisting of Mark Alexander on guitar, Sam Rhodes on guitar, Jason Sain on vocals, Matt Staley on bass, and Allen Royal on drums and have been together since 1999.
  They have four songs on there facebook and they're all really good. They also have a cover of Stone Temple Pilots song Dead and Bloated. I was sort of skeptical about listening to the cover at first because STP is one of my favorite bands and I've heard people try to do covers of songs and completely butcher it. This was different though, they actually did a really good job at covering Dead and Bloated. Jason's voice is perfect for this song and songs alike. The instruments were also done amazingly. The drums have always been my favorite part of Dead and Bloated and they were captured perfectly in this cover.
  Their other songs are really good as well, I especially like Sometimes. It's really put together well and sounds amazing. Also, really fun to sing along to. Songs that make you want to sing along are the best songs. And Arsenic is one of those songs that get your adrenaline pumping, it's pretty heavy more than the others.
  3 Quarters Dead is all around a great band. They've been around as long as Avenged Sevenfold but have less recognition. That needs to change!

Mansoor

  From Washington is Mansoor, I don't know much about him but I do know his music is very well written and composed. He's a rapper and has a song called Man's Blues. It has piano in the background that sounds absolutely beautiful and goes great with his voice. His voice is deep and clean, you can understand every word he says. I fell in love within the first few seconds of listening to him.
  Also, his song All Eyez On Me is so smooth, sort of short but still such a good song. I could listen to any of his songs all day long. They're almost relaxing and make you want to listen to everything he's saying. He's really put a lot of work into his songs and it shows greatly. I love his sound, it's addicting and he stays calm through the whole song and they really get a point across. I highly recommend listening to him, he's wonderful!
  He has more songs on his soundcloud (x) where you can listen to his songs. They're all quite good, I almost don't know what else to say. You'd have to listen to him yourself to know just how good he is because words just aren't enough.

AMA's 2014!

  This year AMA's were absolutely awesome! There were liver performances from amazing artist including Selena Gomez, One Direction, Imagine Dragons, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Lorde and more! They were all great performances, I couldn't pick a favorite.

First thing first, Taylor was the first performance of the night with her song Blank Spaces and it was incredible. The song itself is so catchy and her performance was out of this world. She also won the Dick Clark Award for Excellence which she definitely deserved. With her album 1989 selling over a million copies in the first week, she's come so far. Starting off as a country singer, she's now pop, does amazing things for her fans and friends and is just a well rounded person! Congratulations Taylor!
  One Direction was nominated for 3 awards; Favorite band, Duo or, Group - Pop/rock, Favorite Pop/Rock album, and Artist of the Year. They also won for all three of those, the album of course, being Midnight Memories which came out a little over a year ago. They did a live performance of their song Night Changes and it was amazing! Every single one of them are exceptional and One Direction wouldn't be the same even if just one person was not in there. All of their solo parts were flawless, of course. They also couldn't be any

sweeter, every chance they get they thanks their fans for getting them where they are. Since the beginning they've been thanking their fans and haven't stopped. You don't see that with most bands or artist and I really appreciate them taking the time out of there day just to say thank you. They really are so sincere!
  Iggy Azalea won Favorite Rap/Hip Hop album along with Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Artist. She's come a long way and has worked hard to get where she is today. She's even got to collaborate with J Lo and Ariana Grande, which must have been amazing.
  5 Seconds of Summer were nominated for New Artist of the Year and won, while also doing a performance of What I Like About You. This band has also come a great distance and is amazing, every single one of them! Starting of in Sydney, Australia and now they're on the AMA's has got to be an amazing feeling! Also, winning New Artist of the Year, you could tell Micheal was the most excited he jumped so high out of his seat and the smile never left his face after that! They definitely deserved to win.

  Selena Gomez's performance of The Heart Wants What It Wants was beautiful! It was the first time the song had ever been performed live before and it must have been an emotional song for her because she cried a little during the performance. Non the less, she stayed up there and finished her performance flawlessly. Also, the background just behind her was amazing. It started off with clouds filling the sky and lightning and at one point there were wings and she was standing in the perfect spot for it to look like she had wings. The song itself was beautiful and her performance was great, as always!

Static In Verona

  Static In Verona is Rob Merz, an indie pop artist, out of Chicago who's actually been writing and recording music for more than 18 years, it's incredible! He's been in a few bands but is now on his own doing it all himself. In 2010, the album Be Quiet As You Leave was released, and since they have found additional influences in different music.
  I listened to their album Everything You Knew Before You Knew Everything, which was released earlier this year in March. The whole album is really well written and composed I absolutely love it! If I had to pick a favorite song from this album it would be 'Roman Candle'. It's really upbeat and catchy, I could listen to it for days. Every song just pulls you right it at the very beginning.
  Knowing that he does this all himself is truly amazing! Hearing all the different instruments in the songs reminds me of The White Stripes because that was just two people playing 20+ instruments. Although, Static In Verona is a single person playing many instruments and creating a whole album themselves and that takes a lot of hard work and dedication. All the work they have put into this music really shows, it's just truly awesome!
You can listen to the album 'Everything You Knew Before You Knew Everything' here

Fond of Rudy

  Fond Of Rudy is an indie/pop/rock band from Brighton, that describe themselves as "south-eastern calypso"! Fond of Rudy is Matt Ahwal, Paul Hillman, Tom Allum-Watts and Billy Marchant. From there videos it looks like they all play guitar or bass and sing.

  They have quite a few covers on youtube and I've watched them all, theyre really good. They're unsigned, but I believe one or two of the songs on their youtube channel they wrote themselves. The lead singers voice is really good and when it's more than one of them singing, they voices seem to coincide pretty well. They've done covers of The Strokes, Lorde and a couple others. They are really worth checking out, really nice guys too!

  I also suggest checking out there song To Be Mine, it's pretty good and catchy!

Youtube (x)

One Direction: FOUR

  One Direction's album FOUR was released today and it's quite an amazing album! If you get the Ultimate Edition you get four bonus tracks which are all really good! There one song Act My Age, which is one of the bonus tracks sounds like it's about when they get like in their 50's and they'll still be mischievous because it starts off with "When I'm fat and old and my kids think I'm a joke 'cause I move a little slow when I dance... I won't act my age, no I won't act my age.." It's a really catchy song, sort of sounds like an Irish folk dance at the very beginning before they start singing.
  One Direction back in 2010 has changed a lot and in a good way. They're still highly respectful and nice, you never hear anything about them doing bad things or anything. I think FOUR is there best album yet. It has a different sound, but I think they finally got where they want to be music wise.
  They did a live performance a few songs in Orlando, I couldn't be there personally but I watched online and it was great. Zayn Malik couldn't be there because he was ill, so I hope he feels better soon. The boys really pulled through filling in for Zayn.
  They're always thanking there fans for getting them to where they are now and I think it's really sweet because it's also true. A band is almost nothing without fans but at the same time they've worked so hard to get where they are today, they deserve all this. They started off on X Factor and now they're playing concerts for 60,000+ people and they've been together for four years and now have four albums!
  On the album FOUR it is very difficult to pick a favorite song because they're all so great! I have about 6 favorites but I absolutely love this whole album. I hope they keep moving forward and also never forget who they are and how they got where they are today. Although, I don't see them messing up too badly anytime soon.
  My only question is, what is the song 'Spaces' about? It sounds like it's about breaking up and going separate ways. Possibly the band, but I really hope not.

Dallas Frasca

  Dallas Frasca is a band out of Australia formed back in 2006. Dallas Frasca is Dallas Frasca on lead vocals and guitar, Jeff Curran on guitar and Josh Eales on drums. 

  In 2013 Dallas Frasca was part of a 24-hour circuit race in France and played a 40,000+ crowd. Europeans even named them "The next AC/DC"! which I think could very well be true. I listed to a few of their songs and theyre amazing! I first listened to their song "You Are Beautiful" which sends out a really powerful message and it's an amazing song. I even watched the music video, its different but I like it. (x) 

  One of my favorite things about this band has to be Dallas' voice! It's just amazing, it sort of reminds me 4 Non Blondes in there song What's Up. I also like there music videos they're just really cool. In the music video for the song Lizard Boy there's someone painted like a lizard and the way he moves around and acts is almost mystifying, you can't look away.

  Dallas Frasca has also played many charity events and back in 2009 they were invited by BBC to be 1 of 7 performing bands for International Earth Day in Montreal, Canada. In 2011, there songs Amongst the Leaves was in the film A Heartbeat Away. There songs have been in many surf films as well as Animals Rights campaigns. 

  Dallas Frasca is such a good band and I have just fallen in love with them, first from listening to their music to learning so much about them. I'm definitely buying one of there albums when I get the chance!

Despite

  Despite is a metal band formed in 1998, and in the band is Peter Tuthill as lead singer, Timmy Leng and Andre Gonzales on guitar, Matt D on bass, and Oscar Nilsson on drums. They're from Switzerland, which must be amazing! This band is also the first band I've gotten the opportunity to write about that is out of the U.S!
  Despite has a couple albums out, there first being released in March of 2009, called In Your Despite. This album has some guest vocals from Knut Agnred on Despite's song, MindPlague. Despite then released another album called Clenched in 2010. There most recent album was released February of 2014, called Epic, and from the album, they have a music video for there song As You Bleed, which is really cool! There's blood all over all the members and the song itself is really good!
 You can listen to their music on youtube, of course or there web page, which is here. There's also a link to a store on there webpage where you can buy Despite's merchandise!
  I really like this band, I listened to quite a few songs and the quality and everything about the band is so good! If you like metal, I suggest checking them out. The band as a whole is amazing and you can here each and every member, and you can tell they really enjoy what the do and that they really are good at it.

Melanie Martinez

  Melanie Martinez was on a show, The Voice, but was eliminated in the 5th week. After The Voice she started working independently. She wrote the song Dollhouse, which is an amazing song. In the music video she portrays a plastic doll, along with a brother, mom and dad, which is ideal for "The All American Family".
  Usually, you would expect a dolls life to be perfect in every way, but not the one in her music video for Dollhouse. Her dad is having an affair and the mom knows, but doesn't leave him. Instead, she "pulls out a flask and forgets his infidelity". The brother smokes weed and something strange is happening in the kitchen to no one should see. This song is really catchy and her voice is perfect for this type of music. It's kind of low, not real high pitched, and it's soft.
  Melanie has a debut EP out and is said to be releasing an album this October.

To Humans

  To Humans is a three piece alternative rock band out of Los Angeles, Ca. formed around 2011 with Danny Toranzo on lead guitar and vocals, Ace Anderson on bass and Jeremy Lombardo on drums. They recently released an album in June called Metacognition with 10 songs, which you can listen to and buy here. They also have the lyrics with the songs and you should definitely check them out, they're very deep and true. Lyrics from their song, Too Much To Ask, "All we think of, Is shut our ears and run our mouths, Is this way to much, to call out, Or will your ego bring you down?", pretty much speaks for itself. Everyone just talks, but never listens, not to themselves, not to other people, not to anyone.
  Their sound is so amazing, everything about the music fits together perfectly. They have a calming yet energetic sound and they make it work, they're one of those bands you could listen to for hours on end and never get tired of. Everyone in the band is so talented and you can really hear all of the effort they put into each song. It's not hard to find meaning in each song either which is always the best kind of music.
  They are very talented and seem very nice and, to me, they're a local band which is the best part!
  You can follow them on instagram here and like them of facebook here

Rage Against the Machine

  Lead singer Zack De La Roca and guitarist Tom Morello were both born in activist families which makes sense why there songs are so political. There's also drummer, Brad Wilk and bassist, Tim Commerford, they all formed Rage Against the Machine in 1991, and soon after released a self-produced 12 song cassette tape and that won them a deal with Epic, but they didn't sign until they were assured full creative control.
  There self titled album got them a spot in Lollapalooza and their video of "Freedom" on MTV. The band hoped to raise awareness for Leonard Peltier, who was an imprisoned American-Indian activist. The album grew in popularity when more people starting hearing the song, "Killing in the Name", which addresses racism and police corruption. I think it became popular because of the adrenaline it produces and the lyrics, "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" and in 1999, their album Evil Empire made it to #1 on the charts, and that proves there music was getting out and reaching people.
  In 2000, Tim was arrested after a protesters started a riot against the police after one of Rage Against the Machines set, and he was charged with assault and resisting arrest, but both charges were later dropped after he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
  In October, shortly after there album, Renegade, Zack announced his departure of the band, mentioning a communication break down. Then Chris Cornell, from Soundgarden, joined the rest of the guys to create Audioslave, and they broke up in 2007. Later that year, in April, Rage Against the Machine got back together to headline Coachella and that turned out to be a reunion tour, that ended in Asia. (Wenner, Jann S. "Rage Against the Machine". Rollingstone.com, 2014)

Arin Ilejay, the newest member of Avenged Sevenfold

  Back in December of 2009, the original drummer of Avenged Sevenfold, Jimmy Sullivan, passed away leaving the band with the song called "Nightmare". After he had passed Avenged Sevenfold needed someone to fill in for Jimmy to record the rest of there album, except Carry On and Not Ready to Die, and they ended up choosing Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. The band also decided Mike was not the right person to fill in for Jimmy forever and so eventually they found Arin Ilejay who used to be the drummer for Confide.

  Arin was recommended by Avenged Sevenfold's drum tech, Mike Fasano. "...We've rehearsed with Arin and have been impressed with his technical skills, attitude and work ethic. We're very excited to tour with Arin and hope all of you will give him the warm welcome to the family he deserves." Said by Avenged Sevenfold back in 2011.

  On November 14, Arin did an interview with Rock Sound and he seems to be very excited to able to play with Avenged Sevenfold, one of the biggest metal bands out there. He said, "..Instead of sleeping in a van I'm not sleeping in a massive bus!" and also, "There have been times when I’ve tried to help the crew set everything up, and they’re like, ’What the fuck are you doing out here?!’ I’m not used to being ‘the talent’"

  I think Arin is a great person to have in the band, he's young and he has experience and he's just an amazing drummer. To be able to fill the shoes of Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan has to be hard, but he is doing such a great job. Avenged Sevenfold couldn't have picked anyone better.

Rockstar Uproar Fest 9/13/13

  On September 13 I went to the Rockstar Uproar Fest and go to see The Dead Daisies, The Walking Papers, Circa Survive, Coheed and Cambria, Janes Addiction and Alice in Chains!

  I first got there and the Dead Daisies were already playing and they sounded amazing, I only got to hear about 2 songs but I really liked them and I even got to meet them afterwards at the signing and they were really nice guys. I got an autographed poster and a huge plastic banner with there name on it. The banner was just zip tied onto the little metal gates, so I just ripped it off and took it.

  The next band was The Walking Papers and the lead singers voice was so amazing! I loved they way they sounded, and I got to listen to their whole set. At one point the lead singer jumped down into the crowd and was singing and giving people high fives and it was really cool! They also did a signing and I got lucky and ended up finding one of their posters on the ground and when I was in line their manager told me that whoever got one of the Walking Papers posters was lucky because they went by fast when they were handing them out. I also bought their CD in line while waiting and got a picture with Jeff!

Half of the Walking Papers and I

Jeff Angell of Walking Papers

  After the Walking Papers finished, you could head down to the second half of the amphitheater to see the more famous bands and they also had more stands to buy merch and one of the tents there was an Avenged Sevenfold tent where they were handing out posters of the Hail to the King tour so I got one of course and then you had to walk up this huge hill to get to the main stage.

Avenged Sevenfold tent

  When I got to the main stage, Circe Survive was playing and I never heard them before but hearing them in concert and seeing them perform was still an awesome experience because they're a great band! I could understand them and you could hear the meaning behind there songs it was great. You could tell a lot of people at the concert were huge fans of them because you could hear them singing along and it was just great! 

Circa Survive

  After Circa Survive, Coheed and Cambria played and I had heard of them before and I really like there songs so being able to see them in concert was a real joy. All the people in the very front of the stage just kept piling up when Coheed and Cambria started playing and they were so good! They sound exactly how they sound on CD's which most bands dont anymore. Theyre really an awesome band!

This is a terrible picture but it's Coheed and
Cambria.

  Then Janes Addiction came on and there performance was amazing! Most people know that Perry Farrell's wife performs on stage with them and it was her and 3 other girls, 2 on stage at a time. At one point two of the girls were hanging by hooks in there backs, swinging around above the stage, it was awesome. Of course they played Been Caught Stealing, it was one of the first songs they played and I was really hoping they would play Jane Says, but they didn't. It was cool though because Dave Navarro played with them and the whole band except Perry went up to the front of the stage and started playing these big bongo drums and it sounded so cool!

  Then the final band came on, Alice in Chains and they are so awesome to see in concert! They had at least 8 screens behind them and the pictures and little videos they showed were awesome and really added to the concert. It's crazy how William DuVall, there current lead singer sounds exactly like Layne Staley, it's almost weird how they sound so much alike. Alice in Chains is one of my favorite bands so being able to see them in concert was amazing but I think it would have been amazing for anyone to see them. They put on a great show along with all the other bands that night.

 

Born Of The Jackal

  Born Of The Jackal is Gibbzy on vocals, Jack on bass, James and Stephan on guitar, and John on drums. They formed in August of last year, they are from Exeter in the U.K. They want to bring back real metal like their influences (Testament, Metallica, Lamb Of God and Devildriver) had done before them.
  Judging from their song Hellbent on Revenge, you can tell they are heavy metal and very talented! Their one of the bands you can feel the love they have for music and what they do when you listen to them. It's not some thrown together song with some lyrics that they made up so they can get famous, the song is very well put together and if you listen to each instrument individually, you can tell that they all have talent. How the song starts off really grabs your attention and if you like heavy metal, you'll fall in love with them right away!
  This band wants to bring back real metal, and I believe they can without a struggle!

From Ashes To New

  From Ashes to New is a rap-rock band from Pennsylvania with Matt Brandyberry on vocals, Chris Musser also on vocals, Dan Kecki on guitar, and Jon-Mikel Valudes on drums. Matt and Dan were both originally from Twelve After, and Matt left Twelve After to a different direction he was more comfortable with and Chris ended up joining him not too long afterwards. Shortly after that, Dan and John-Mikel joined in with them. From Ashes to New was formed just earlier this year.
  From Ashes to New kind of have a Hollywood Undead sound to them with the rapping, but they also have a Linkin Park sound. They're really good, and everything comes together so smoothly. My favorite song from them would have to be Destruction of Myself. The lyrics are really meaningful and really relateable. All of their songs are relateable and have this sound to them to where you can just fall in love with them so easily. They can deffinitely get far in the music industry. I know how much talent Matt and Dan have beause I also listened to Twelve After but this band as a whole is incredible, they have a lot of talent.

Decadence in Decay

  Decadence in Decay is a metal band formed in 2010 from Colorado, made up of Matt Fiddler on lead vocals, Justin Carbone on guitar, Scott Cargile on keyboards, guitar and vocals, Zane Coppedge on Bass and Tyler Kragenbrink on drums. They started off as What's Been Used but decided to change to Decadence in Decay when a former member Cody had to take off because of the birth of his child (Congratulations!) and Matt took over with lead vocals. Just before this, Justin had joined as guitarist leading to a whole new image for the band.
  From what I've heard the'yre pretty famous in Colorado and have played some shows and by the sounds of their music, they all have real talent and are really amazing! In their song Manslaughter, I think the drummer, Tyler, kind of sounds like The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold back in their heavier days. I really have a thing for bass, so if you actually listen for it, it sounds amazing. It makes me want to head-bang and just go crazy, which is awesome Everything each of them do sounds amazing and it all fits together. Both songs on their facebook page are live recordings so you know they have actual talent and that's always a good thing!
  I know that once this band get's signed they will be famous in no time. We need a good metal band to listen to because there just isn't very many of them.

The end of My Chemical Romance

  So on March 22, My Chemical Romance announced that they were breaking up after just 12 years. It didn't explain why, they just wrote a little paragraph saying that it was the end for them.
  Most fans were not happy about it at all, a lot of them actually used some really harsh words towards My Chemical Romance just because in previous concerts they announced they'd never break up. I don't think that most of the people giving My Chemical Romance hate realize that things happen and everyone in MCR has a life other than just touring and writing songs.
  The other fans, who weren't hating, did say how respectful they were of the band and how no matter what, MCR would still be their favorite band.
  I think it's best just to realize everything comes to an end eventually, even your favorite band.

Bring me the Horizon

  Bring me the Horizon is from Sheffield, Yorkshire. They are a Brittish metalcore band formed in 2004. Bring me the Horizon is, Oliver Sykes as lead singer, Lee Malia as lead guitarist, Matt Kean as bassist, and Matt Nicholls as drummer and Jordan Fish as keyboardist.
  They currently have four albums already realeased and one they are coming out with on April 29, 2013 called, Sempiternal. Their first album, Count Your Blessings, was released on October 30, 2006. Then in 2008, thier album, Suicide Season was released and Suicide Season: Cut up! was released a year later. The last album, There is a hell, believe me I've seen it. There is a heaven, let's keep it a secret, which was released in October 4, 2010.
  The single, Shadow Moses has been released in January, and a lot of people seem to like it. I watched an interview with lead singer, Oli Sykes, and he said he was really stoked for this album and he's more confident with this album than any of BMTH's other albums. He said, in the past he would always second guess himself with the songs and albums, but he feels this one is perfect.
  Bring me the Horizon has been influenced by emo, death metal, and grind core, with bands like, The Dillenger Escape Plan, Everytime I die, and Poisen the Well. The more they started making music the more their influence started to change to some heavy metal bands like, At The Gates, Pantera, Orange Goblin and some progressive rock bands like, Pink Floyd, and Dire Straits.
  This year already, Jona Weinhofen, ex rythm guitarist and backing vocalist for Bring me the Horizon left for unknown reasons. No one released why he left or who's idea it was because they didn't want drama, but he didn't even say if he left on good terms or not, but he is still with his other band, I Killed the Prom Queen.
  Bring me the Horizon got their name from the last line of the movie Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl, when Jack Sparrow says, "Now bring me that horizon.". Also, Oli sykes his own clothing line called Drop Dead Clothing.

Sinéad O'Connor

  Sinéad O'Connor is an Irish singer-songwriter, that rose to fame in the 1980's after her album, Lion and the Cobra. When O'Connor was only eight years old, her parents split up and she went to go live her mom. O'Connor says that while living with her mom, she encountered physical abuse. Later, O'Connor wrote the song, Fire on Babylon which is about the effects of her own child abuse.
  At the age of fifteen, O'Connor was truant and stealing so she was sent to a Magdalene Asylum where she worked on a lot of her songs and music. There she was singing Evergreen by Barbra Streisand and was discovered by the drummer for In Tua Nua. O'Connor ended up recording a song with In Tua Nua called, Take my Hand but she wasn't able to join the band because they felt she was too young.
  On October 3, 1992, O'Connor presented as a music guest on Saturday Night Live and did an a cappella version of Bob Marley's song, War, but she changed the word, racism to child abuse. While singing the song, when she said the word, evil, she took out a picture of the pope, ripped it in half and said, "Fight the real enemy!" while throwing the pieces of the photo at the camera, all because of the Sunday Independent Catholic sex abuse scandal. A lot of people were really mad at O'Connor for what she did, but at the same time, other people did the same exact thing as she did except with a picture of someone else other than the pope.

  In later interviews, O'Connor was asked if she regretted anything she did that night and her reply was, "Hell no!" and now O'Connor is a priest.
