In:Avaite - 1985

Ok, I try and get new music up everyday but I have been lacking the past couple of days, BUT I do have something that will make up for the mixed days. IN:AVAITE. Now if you love Circa and the days when Anthony Green was kickin it with the Saosin boys, you are going to eat this stuff up! I have been listening on and off to this album for the past couple of week and have found myself waking up in the morning and singing their stuff (a true sign that these guys are doing something right).

Here is my "Tip of The Album" on your first couple of listens you will hear some awesome double lead lines but it isn't until you throw some headphones on to truly hear the doubles, try it, you will enjoy the ear candy!

Finally, I know that I have fallen for these braz and I really hope they head up north and show us how they do what they do.

Enjoy!

Castillan - Daisy

So here is another mellow band to play while you are in bed, with your girl, and make some long time loving happen. I came across these guys looking through one of the new release days that Absolute Punk puts out every week.

But really this EP is a great one to sit and listen to, anywhere at any time. These guys are out of Dallas Texas and have only been around a few months. Before this they released a demo, but don't waste your time on that, this is the direction that Castillan is heading! If you are in the mood for some traditional in indie rock meets ambient, these guys can give you all that and some more? I would say that are similar to Guelph Ont. Lifestory:Monologue but replace the yelling-shouting with soothing vocal lines!

Minus The Bear - Acoustics

This one is for all the lovers out there; of a little band called Minus The Bear. I find that everything that these guys release, create, perform has never disappointed their fans, and here is another installation. It may not be new songs but they have thrown a wicked twist on this stuff. It's all acoustic, and if you think you love Minus The Bear now wait until you hear these EP! With the acoustic stuff it really does show how well their songs are structured together, you hear new things that you didn't hear on the albums and if you take some of the complex delay off there is a lot more to the songs! Overall it's a great EP to throw on and chill too over and over again!

He Is Ledgend - 2008 Demos

So here is another band has crafted their sound to a T, they haven't really released anything in a while but it looks like there is rumour that a new release should be out March or April, let's hope so. Here are the most resent demo's that that have "semi" released. I don't know if this stuff is going to be on the upcoming record but non the less it should tie people over until the new stuff drops.

I'm going to keep it sweet and short this time!

A Day To Remember - Homesick

Well another Tuesday and you know what that means, today is new music day for the average listener. A couple of the new releases that you will see on shelves or added to the iTunes Store this week are, The Fray, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, VersaEmerge, and these guy A Day To Remember. And today might just be a day that they are going to remember for a long while, see as today is the release of their third full length album "Homesick". After listening to this album for the past week I fell in love with it quickly! From the first group vocal on "The Downfall Of Us All"; which I don't think they could make it any sooner. To the guests that appear on the album, Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada on "I'm Made of Wax, Larry, What are You Made of?", Vincent Bennett of The Acacia Strain on "Welcome to the Family" (which is a fitting) and everyone's new girlfriend Sierra Kusterbeck of VersaEmerge on the closing track "If It Means a Lot to You". When it came to the lyrics they really grabbed me; if you are in or have ever been in a band that tours you will be able to relate to a lot of lyrical content on this album.

Overall I can't really say enough for the album it has the guitar squeals, the breakdowns, the hip popping/sing alongs... Just listen and you'll know, so far best release of 09!

VersaEmerge - VersaEmerge

So late last week I managed to get my hands on the new Versa EP "VersaEmerge". I have been listening to it on and off ever since I got it and in doing this I have noticed on major thing. Unlike there last release (Perceptions) where I was pulled in right away, this time around it is tacking a lot longer to love. They have a much stronger Paramore sound and less of the Circa love. Through out the EP the two tacks that really have pulled me in are "The Hider" and their remake of "Clocks". The rest of the stuff is just missing something that I can't quite put my fingers on. The recording/production sounds amazing, and with that behind them this is going to push the EP "to the front of the pack" of bands that have this similar vibe going for them.

There's my two cents on this EP, take it how you want, overall I'm still waiting for the light switch to get flipped right on... maybe a headphone listen??
