Kingdoms - Daughters of Atlas

So the Kingdoms boys are back and with a new EP??? Sort of, if you are hoping for all new tracks you are going to be a little sad to hear this. Their new release (which I think it has officially released) only has two new tracks on it and the remainder of the album is Atlantis all over again. I was fortunate to get my hands on this album at the end of August and really took a huge liking to the two new tracks 'Split The Sky' and 'The Bitmore Hotel' and when I loaded the album into iTunes I wasn't really surprised to see those two tracks run right into Atlantis. I have talked to the guys about this and yes it is the same tracks but they have been re-mastered, although comparing the tracks I really don't hear a difference.

So my last post about these guys they were doing great for themselves, an unsigned band that was really talking the Ontario scene by storm, well now a few months later they really haven't slowed down. Might as well give you a run down like last time ;0b

- Last spring they headed out on their first East Coast tour with Farewell To Freeway, Greeley Estate, and FACT
- Took a little brake from shows to play all the major festivals in Ontario, Cutting Edge Music Festival, Rock The Mill, Scenefest

- In July they announced that Underground Operation picked them up (that really wasn't a surprise)

- They are now out on tour on their fist CD Release tour with The Oxford Street Montage. Which they will join Silverstein on their last leg of their Cross Canada Tour, so out east watch on you are in for a treat once again.

- Looking to continue to be on the road once they are back from out east.

Once again these guys aren't bad off at all and congrats once again to everything that they have accomplished over the past year. It's almost been a year since Atlantis (October 3rd) has been up for free download and they have been on the scene.

I know that I usually right something about the way the album feels, what I don't like, what is awesome, but seeing how this is really just a re-release I'm not going to repeat my self (click here if you want to see what I thought of it. The only thing that I would say is in 'Split The Sky' I want to see if Hutton can hit the one held note around 3:20 in the song. It really sounds like he pushed his voice to the border of the braking point. Also the brake down at the end of the song, does anyone know who else uses that pattern? I have show it to a couple of people and we can't figure it out.

Well enjoy and go out see these guys and spread the love!

Dancing With Paris - There's Something In The Water

FAIL!!! Yes that is directed to me, cause I really have been lacking on the postings on here and not sharing some killer music that I have been getting me hands on. You might ask so why have you been keeping us in the dark then.... we'll it's because of these guys; Dancing With Paris, I know that I have mentioned these guys a couple of times on here, and to get back into the swing of things I figured that I would show everyone what I have been working on over the past couple of months.

So this is the first EP that Dancing With Paris have ever released and with my help, as well as many other people that have becoming part of the DWP family. With the EP only being out a little less then two months these guys have already starting to stir up things in the Ontario hardcore scene. They have had a lot of comparison to Straight Reads The Line, to the point that people have asked them if Blake is the singing in the band, Holly Springs, Deftones, Vanna... yes all these bands are in a similar genre but the things that is setting Dancing With Paris apart from every other band out there is they way they mix everything together.

There really is something for everyone on this EP. It's got your full range of scream (high, lows, mids) some Fall Out Boy sing-a-long parts, breakdowns that make you question, what just happened, slow dance sections (go and see them live and you will understand that a little better) dance beats, equine cover art and the list can go on. A couple cool featured that the EP has is each song has it's own cover and the guys have been getting some great complements on it, and I'm sure it won't be the end of it. Also if you listen to the EP on an iPod Touch of iPhone you'll get an extra treat, click on the cover art while you are listening to it and you'll see what I'm talking about!!

So I can't really review this cause it would be supper bias, but I will say that I have put A LOT of overtime hours into this project and hope that everyone that downloads this enjoys it as much as I do, even after listening to it as many times as I have! All I ask for is, if you like this ep, PLEASE PASS THE IT ON TO EVERY OTHER PERSON YOU THINK WILL LOVE IT! Dancing With Paris have started to stir the water and soon everyone will see what what actually is in the water.

Sorry again for the lock of content over the summer, but I'll get back into putting stuff up you everyone, until next time, learn to love this EP!!
