Chromeo is made of awesome

This is the new video for Night By Night and it is freaking fantastic. I hope this makes these boys explode into popularity... they deserve it all!

Rejectioneers - "When its Over"





Great song.

Lykke Li - Jerome (The Lost Session) Video

I love the more organic sound of this revamp. I truly have had a 180 when it comes to Lykke Li and her talent and image. This is what female pop singers should ALL be doing.

Toro y Moi - "How I Know"

Great video! Toro y Moi doesn't disappoint on any end and this happens to be one of my favorite tunes from the new album.

Enjoy the video for "Bad Street"

Computer Magic - "Running"

Simplistic, easy on the ears, with an infectious beat and awesome retro vocals... that is Computer Magic!


Computer Magic - "Running" from Consequence of Sound on Vimeo.

TV on the Radio – “Caffeinated Consciousness”

This is a fun little video with a band that actually looks like they are having fun. Its also a change from the normal popular crap.

Becoming The Archetype - Breathing Light video

Easily one of the best albums to come out this year.

Friday, July 15, 2011

The Kooks - 'Is It Me'

Reminds me a music from about 10 years ago and thats a good thing.

and then there was that time James Blake played Fallon

and it sounded a lot like this...

Its been slow so here is some Alcest

Live Trivium

I just posted the official video for this song but damn if this live version isn't just as good.

Friday, July 8, 2011

The Strokes - "Taken For A Fool"

The Strokes got a lot of shit for their new album and I'm still trying to figure out why. I enjoyed it. I felt it was miles better than their previous effort. This song in particular reflects how awesome the album is. The video itself is pretty cool but the song itself shines with or without it.

Djentive : Vildhjarta are awesome!

I was browsing for some new shit to listen to on my day off today and I stumbled upon this gem. Vocals that remind me of something that would be in a nonpoint or Ill nino song (which isn't a diss) and the music is Djent as hell. Very good mixture of the two. The opening riff literally gave me a chub.

Cut Off Your Hands - "Fooling No One"


Cut Off Your Hands - Fooling No One from They Ltd on Vimeo.

Some British Sea Power?!


Hells yes! The album Valhalla Dancehall was released earlier this year and its a beast. You can check out the epic Georgie Ray below and you should make an effort to listen to the rest of the album, it will be well worth your time.


Bunch of newish songs by Coldplay.


I'm not sure if I've ever voiced my opinion on Coldplay on the site but it goes about like this : I love Parachutes and Rush of Blood and almost EP they've released. I tried REALLY hard to like X&Y but that album and the one after Viva La Pinata are both IMO too electronic and U2ish. The new video entitled "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" suffers from the same issues that I had with the previous albums but then we get two other songs that might be the best stuff since "Rush of Blood". "Major Minus" is the first of the released tracks and it has an epic sound without feeling too over produced and bland. Its got an epicly infectious guitar riff. The second is "Moving to Mars" and not since the Blue Room EP has their been a song that felt as raw in emotion and recording. Its a welcome addition. Lastly is the video for "Every Teardrop" The video, (like most Coldplay videos) is well done. Chris Martin does all the usual shit he does and the band is as far in the background as possible. I just don't like this song as much as the other 2. Make the choice for yourself.






New Video from Sufjan

The Horrors - "Still Life"

This represents the first time I've listened to the Horrors and I've got to say I'm impressed. the video is pretty entertaining as well. Might get a bit repetitive but what are you gonna do? Find out more information HERE

Djentive? Last Chance To Reason - "Upload Complete"


Last Chance to Reason has proven themselves in the djent movement and with very good reason. This new video for the son Upload Complete, is a power house in sound and the song definitely sum up the talent the band possesses. Their album Level 2, was released earlier this year.

Mastodon Artwork

Here's the new artwork for the upcoming album "Sleeping Giant". The video for the song Deathbound was released a couple of weeks ago and its fucking awesome! You can video the artwork and the video below...

Twin Sister - "Bad Street"


I love me some Twin Sister, and it seems they are finally getting the attention they deserve. They have a new album entitled "In Heaven" coming later this year and this is the first release from that album called "Bad Street". Its a bit different from the low fi stuff from Color Your Life but its still just as good and definitely makes you want to move!

Twin Sister - Bad Street by DominoRecordCo

Days of the New were awesome and heres some proof!





Trivium - "In Waves" Newish Video

Time to get back in the fucking game. Welcome back Trivium, you've put out some absolute shit in the past years. This song is most definitely rockin but the video its self is a bit boring.

Please Excuse The Site

I'm changing the look and I'll need some time to get it how I like. So there will be some crappy stuff going on. I apologize.

Sunday, June 5, 2011

Sometimes you've just got to press forward.

I've been largely distant from IHBC as of late. I've gotten a real job and started to rebuild all that I've lost from my poor choices. Things around here have largely been quiet and will continue to be so for at least a little while longer. I shall return soon with new reviews and such. This time I'm gonna do it my way though. So less posts and more opinions (happy day I know). See you all soon.

The Lonely Island are BACK

Give this song a try... at first it seems rather odd. Its pretty fucking awesome and I feel their pain.

Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead



Beautiful song. Very unique sounding which is kind of refreshing nowadays. I love the female vocals in this song.



If you are wondering what i'd sell my soul for it'd be to be here



Enjoy.


Ah it's been a while




It's been a while since some posts have been put up but i know Daz as well as myself have been pretty busy. I've missed posting some stuff so this is just a quick song that is quite amazing. Good ole Fleet Foxes. I will definitely be doing more posts this week so please come back to check it out! Enjoy!

More Live Mastodon

This songs called 'Ghost Of Karelia' and I feel it better shows Mastodon in a live situation. Less singing more prog rock. The DVD called 'Live At The Aragon' is out March 15th.

Soilwork - 'Let The River Flow' New Video


I love me some Soilwork. Well most of Soilwork. The newest album 'The Panic Broadcast' was definitely a return to form for the band and this is one of the tracks off that stellar album. Its a bit more low key than their stuff but its still heavy as hell. if you enjoy what you hear here, check out more on the band.

Sin Fang - 'Because Of The Blood' New Video


This guy was in the band Seabear, if you've ever listened to them. I think I may have once or twice. You can pick up the new album entitled Summer Echo's on March 15th.


Sin Fang - Because Of The Blood from Máni M. Sigfússon on Vimeo.

And then there was that time Anberlin played Leno...

and it sounded a lot like this...

Destroyer - 'Kaputt' Album Review


Sometimes things are just plain weird. Its easy to dismiss things that are weird because of it being just that, but should we be so quick to dismiss something because its different than the norm? Most of the time I would agree with going against the grain, you never know what amazing stuff you would hear or see or experience when you don't stick to society's idea of normal. Its the same with music, it sometimes differs greatly than whats considered normal. Sometimes the weird isn't so loud you would realize it was even there and sometimes its balls out fucking nuts. Destroyers new album is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Its not so weird that you would easily be turned off of the music but for those who actually pay attention to what we are listening to we will start to realize how weird 'Kaputt' really is. Does this make the album bad? In a word... 'No', but it does make it in a class of its own.
'Kaputt' IS the definition of layers in music. Seriously, if you want to study what musical elements make up layers check out this album. There's always some new sound going on, or the same sound used in a new way. Its the first time in a long time that I've heard an album that had a horn section that didn't dominate the music. The sax and trumpet are blended so seamlessly into the music that its almost easy to forget that they are even in at all. Even the electronic parts of the music are blended so well that you don't really even notice it. This is surprising because the songs are very much electronic piece's.
Not everything about the album works though. The lyrics are at times delivered in a way that can be distracting. That might be due to the part of the world that the lead singer is from or from the actual pinned lyrics but I found myself focusing on instances in which the lyrics don't seem to fit into the music at all. For me, this isn't a deal breaker but I'm not lyrically driven like the general population. Think of it like a sort of rap thats the whitest type of rap imaginable. This is really my only complaint about the record and again I don't believe that its so big that it jeopardizes the overall experience.
So whats the final verdict on 'Kaputt'? Its original, its good sonic-ally, there are memorable songs and they tend to stick in your head. So all in all Destroyer did a great job.

Destroyer's 'Kaputt' gets 4 Germans out of 5



Tracklist:
01. Chinatown
02. Blue Eyes
03. Savage Night at the Opera
04. Suicide Demo for Kara Walker
05. Poor in Love
06. Kaputt
07. Downtown
08. Song for America
09. Bay of Pigs (Detail)

Greg Laswell - 'Take Everything'


This videos not new, but damn I love this guys voice. Something thats cool about posting material is you can post whatever the hell you want! I've not heard much from Greg Laswell that I wouldn't recommend to the general population. So you should check out his stuff.

And then there was that time The Mountain Goats played Letterman....


and it sounded a lot like this...

Say Hi - 'Devils' I swear he's saying gerbils.


Just try and here it... hes saying gerbils not devils. Ok maybe not, but it made for a funny listen.


Say Hi - "Devils" Video from stereogum on Vimeo.

The Felix Culpa - 'Our Holy Ghosts' is a rock song

I believe it was yesterday that I was saying that I don't post very many rock songs on the site. Truth to be told I've never really been a fan of just plain old rock music. I've found it uninspiring and boring. This song didn't change any of that but I thought it was decent enough to post. For fans of Anberlin and bands like that.

Gruff Rhys - 'Sensations in the Dark'


If I could meet any artist in the world it would be Devin Townsend, if I had to choose a second it would be Gruff Rhys. I can't think of a better voice in indie music today. Hes weird and random and seemingly normal and thats what I love about him and his music. Super Furry Animals is one of my favorite bands of all time and will continue to be I'm sure.

Modest Mouse - 'Fly Trapped in a Jar' New Video

Does it sound like Modest Mouse is trying to go back to the sound that made them more popular? I dig the song and the video's pretty awesome. Its animated pretty well. Lots of pink... which can be a bit much on the eyes... until it turns blue. Enjoy the song.


FLY TRAPPED IN A JAR (AN ALIEN MUSICAL) [OFFICIAL] from The Saline Project on Vimeo.

Destory Rebuild Until God Shows - 'Sex Life' New Video


Ok...... ummmmm..... gross? I've been listening to the new album 'D.R.U.G.S' and I think I like it. Its so hard to for to decide with these bands who do the music for the masses thing. Its got some good stuff on it. Its easy to listen to. I've not analyzed it with great detail though so I'm sure there are things I hate. The song 'Sex life' makes total sense for a music video. I might have gone a different route but I can get behind the choice. It says the word 'Sex' so you know all the teenagers will be all over it.

BRAMS does there best Depeche Mode impression with 'Repeat It'


Sounds like this video was filed using iPhone's and surveillance cameras, which is cool. I like the song. Its a bit more electronic than I normally like but like I said in the title its very reminiscent of a Depeche Mode track and who doesn't like them?!

and then there was that time Destroyer played Fallon...


and it sounded a lot like this. I'm surprised with how well the music translates in a live setting. Kaputt is a weird album for sure. I'm still passing judgment on it, but you should check it out.

Pegazus - 'Haunting Me' is taken a bit too literally.

If I die before I'm 90 I'm definitely going to haunt someone and sing really bad metal at them.

Obscurus Lupa Presents

I watch a lot of movie reviews... maybe too much, but one of the reviewers that I watch needs more praise and recognition. Allison Pregler aka Lupa, is a truly funny reviewer. Not the highest quality video and audio but her talent more than makes up for the production. She has a format similar to other reviewers but the difference is her wit. Shes intelligent and that is translated without question throughout her videos. If you've never watched a retro movie review or a review of a bad movie, this is a great place to start. You can check out her newest review below or go to her page on That Guy With The Glasses. These videos take a time investment from the viewer but the entertainment value is as good as anything on the net.

Summer Camp - 'I want you' New Song


Summer Camp is a great band who's new album comes out later this year. This is one of the tracks off that album which is turning out to be a very special thing. For more information on the band and the release go to GvB.

The Damnwells - 'The Great Unknown'

Simplistic would be an understatement about this new video by the indie band. Not a bad song and while I don't feel the video is a waste it does seem a bit... odd, if only because of its lack to actual substance. The band has a new album coming March 15th so thats another album to put on the review list.

Darkest Hour 'Savor the Kill' New Video

Sometimes I don't get why there needs to be a story thats so fragmented in a video. Give us one or the other. good song, decent album.

The Haunted go a different direction.


I'm OK with poppy metal sometimes. It really depends on the band and their attitude but this caught me by surprise. The songs called 'Disappear' and its not a very Haunted type song. I knew when i heard stuff from the upcoming album 'Unseen' that it wasn't going to be the standard fare from the metal group, but this is completely out of their universe. Think of it like Arcade Fire writing a metal tune, or Kesha actually writing something that doesn't give you VD. I guess we will just have to wait for 'Unseen' later this year to really know whats going on.

Mastodon LIVE.


Hey the never claimed to be awesome in the vocal department. I guess thats what you get when your drummer whos doing crazy ass drumming sings and drums like that.... DRUM. Most of those people are mesmerized by the awesome music being pumped into their ears anyways.

Marissa Nadler - 'Rosary'

Bibio - 'Excuses' gives me a seizure.


You might be keen to skip this one early on, honestly I was too but stick it out a bit to see if you're actually going to like the song. its an interesting video and the music is as well. I like the 8bit kinda sound.

Lykke Li - 'Wounded Rhymes' Album Stream

Its time to pass final judgement on Lykke Li's new album 'Wounded Rhymes' (I hate the name). Is this just more drivel by another girl wanting to be the next Lady GaGa or does the music have substance? You make you're choice.

Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes (Hype Machine Album Exclusive) by LykkeLi

Destruction says 'Hate Is My Fuel' and I agree.


This video is lame as crap but the songs metal as fuck. So I'm down with posting it. Its a bit Sworn Enemy kinda cheese but sometimes thats OK. If you don't know what I mean by Sworn Enemy you don't deserve to know. The bands new album entitled 'Day of Reckoning' was released on the 18th so get it.

Vivian Girls - 'I heard You Say' promotes playing with fire.

The Kills - 'Satellite'


I think I tried out the Kills a couple years ago but it wasn't my thing. Time may have changed me or the band I'm not sure. I like how sluggish this song feels. It has weight, drama. It sounds determined, like its on a mission and it won't be stopped. I don't know, just watch the damn video.

Mogwai - 'Mexican Grand Prix'

Mogwai's new album 'Hardcore Will Never Die, but You Will' is a trip. One of the most fun albums I've heard so far this year. more progressive than straight rock. Mogwai can change direction at the drop of a hat and you barely notice because your so focused on what you're hearing. I recommend it for all tastes.

Parkway Drive kicks ass live. And then there was that time... You get the idea.

Here's the song 'Sleepwalker' preformed on the Daily Habit.

Yeasayer - 'I Remember'

I'm not sure why I'm drawn to this video. I'm not even sure of the symbolism of it all. I'm sure its got some deep seeded meaning, I just don't get it. I like the song though.

    

    

    

    

    

    

  




  

Wavves -'Horse Shoes'




I'm not sure how I feel about this new song. People are going crazy for Wavves though. Probably the second most popular band I see behind Best Coast.

We Are Enfant Terrible have 'Filthy Love


By far one of the funkiest songs I've posted on this site. Its best heard loud as hell. Put on some headphones and just immerse in the craziness.


We Are Enfant Terrible - Filthy Love from Last Gang Records on Vimeo.

Only Son 'Searchlight' has 100 tons of 90's fun


Seriously this song is like going back in time. It doesn't feel like a rip off of anyone and the sound is interesting and infectious. Looks like we have ourselves a winner!

Young Guns - 'Stitches' is a decent song.


I don't nearly post as much stock pop rock as much as I probably should, its so hard to find relievent stuff in the market thats been flooded with the likes of Nickelback for so long now. I'm digging on this song though. The band has a new album coming called 'All Our Kings Are Dead' at the end of March.

Two new VVFS'ssss.

Brett talks about Valentines Day and dunking!



and

Black Iris featuring Best Coast

I swear Best Coast is taking over the world and we just don't know it yet. This video's is animated which gives it a star from me automatically but even more so its got a great sound. Sometimes I wish videos would leave the sound effects out but its not enough to take me out of the song.

Black Iris

NEW SONG BY THE STROKES!


News reports are that another new song will be released March 1st, so we have that to look forward to as well.

I can't believe I missed putting up a Smith Westerns video.

I've been super slack the past couple weeks and the reason was I was burnt the FUCK out. Believe it or not listening to so much music in a week can really effect you in a negative way. Its easy to dismiss more stuff if you've got other stuff on the mind... that doesn't make any sense?! Well my new aim is to be better about posting. This will really take form in two ways.

1. Sometimes there won't be pictures.

2. If I don't have shit to say then I'll just post the video/song.

Thanks and enjoy 'Weekend'!


Smith Westerns - Weekend from Fat Possum Records on Vimeo.

I really should do a Dream Pop themed post every day.

this band is called Echo Lake and the songs called 'Young Silence'. Enjoy


Echo Lake - Young Silence from Dan Nixon on Vimeo.

I tried really hard to like James Blake.

I really wanted to like James Blake and some of it I do like, but even for me its a bit odd. Maybe not odd but off. Hes definitely got a unique sound hes working on. This is one of those radio mixes that they used to do on the 'Open House Party' back in the day. His normal stuff is much more structured like true songs but I thought this one was interesting enough to post.



And here is the first official video

Little Scream posts Liveish video and its good!


I've dogged set ups like this in the past because of how fake they seem, but this one struck me in a different way. I love how intimate this video feels. Fullscreen it for the full effect but everything about this is good.  The songs called 'The Heron and The Fox'.


Little Scream: "The Heron and The Fox" (live) from Secretly Jag on Vimeo.

This is a music/entertainment site so I guess i have to post the new Radiohead video.


I'm going to admit it now... I'm not a big Radiohead fan. I get that they've been super influential or whatever. Which is true. I love what they are doing with the distribution of their music. I love that they are anti record company. I'm just not a big fan of their catalog overall. So instead of being an elitist prick I'm gonna upload the video with the understanding that this band is amazing to some people.

NewVillager - 'Lighthouse' is crazy as hell.

I'm not sure I get it, but is that important? This video is weird as hell though.


NewVillager - "LightHouse" from stereogum on Vimeo.

Lykke Li – “Love Out Of Lust” Shes growing on me and I don't mean the herpes.

Lykke Li - Love Out Of Lust by LykkeLi

Yes the same girl who professes to be a prostitute is growing on even me. This is a pretty good song, even if I'm against the blatant sexualizedness of music, I can get behind a good song. Her album 'Wounded Rhymes' will be released next month. Lets just hope for more songs like this and less songs like 'Get Some'

The Sandwiches release a new track and I contemplate how stupid that name is.

This song seriously sound like a reject from an Alanis Morissette album. I guess its not bad, just terribly underwhelming. You might be asking you're self why I'm posting it if I'm not a fan, well I do it to metal songs all the time. I figured I would switch it up a little. I know that people are going to like the songs that I don't. So it really serves two purposes when I trash something. Art is objective right? I think it is.

The Sandwitches - Joe Says by One Thirty BPM

Lionine's new song sounds like a B-track on Guitar Hero.


The first thing that comes to mind when I watch this is the awesome beard action. I'm currently growing a beard that will rival even this guys but its an amazing beard still. The songs good an interesting sound. I like the old school bluesy sound. The vocals also remind me of earlier Dave Matthews band. This song can be found on their latest effort entitled 'Destruction Manual'.

Ra Ra Riot "Too Dramatic" seems good but I'm still unsure..

Theres not much about this song that I don't like. I think as far as new songs go this has been the best indie track I've heard in a long while. I might need to pick up the new EP  due out March 8th but this seems like a band that could go the distance.

Star Slinger - 'Mornin' is what you need this morning.


What is it about that fast forwarded sounding vocals thats so cool sounding. I can't remember which rapper used it first but I think it was Kanye (asshat) West. Short and sweet this is the perfect feel good song for the morning.

Louis and Genevieve featuring Pomplamoose

Not the strongest song that Pomplamoose has been featured on but its still good. I think the contrast of the two bands is pretty high, anyways... The songs called 'On and On' and its worth taking a look at.

Friday, February 18, 2011

And then there was that time Stone Sour played Kimmel....

and man it was super boring. Every time I see Cory Taylor he looks more and more tame.

Cavalera Conspiracy make music that sounds like Soulfly and stream it.

To be honest the difference's in the two bands are pretty numerous so I'm only making that generalization because of the vocals and not the music. I like the song but I honestly don't think the rest of the album will have the staying power that the first one did. I guess we will see March 28th when the album is released.

The Bunny The Bear


Everything about this band makes me laugh. Not really in a good way. I mean watch this video... what the crap is this? All the music is lame at best... and what are the vocals doing in this song? barf. such a boring song... ENJOY!!

NEW BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE!

Thank Jesus finally something from one of my favorite bands out right now. It seems that they finally figured out that clean vocals can work if you don't make them sound terrible. This is a much more organic sound than the last album 'Dichotomy' which is my favorite. This album is sure going to be awesome, and for you Christians this band are professed and active Christians. For you non's who cares aways its good much! So without further stupidity here is 'The Magnetic Sky'

The Get Up Kids get 'Automatic' with new video... HA


Yeah I'm a loser and this is a new video from the band get up kids that one might think it super boring and simple but I feel is kinda fitting for the song. Its just a car going through a carwash which for me is a cool but yet uneasy feeling and I feel like they capture that well in the video, as well as the beauty in it all.

I've not posted a Dream Pop song in the past couple days.

I might be getting out of the genre or just haven't found anything until now. This is the song 'Firestarter' by Blouse. Its pretty standard dream pop fair but it hits the right spots. I thought it might be a good way to kinda break up all the heavy posts today. Go HERE for more info on the song and artisit.


Are you awake yet? Have some more metal.


This is Rotten Sounds new video for the song 'Hollow'. Its a great song match with a stellar video. Don't believe me just watch it below. If you want to check out what Decidel thinks about it you should check out their short article on the video. They write better than I do anyways. 'Hollow' kinda makes me wish that Messuggahh album would hurry up and release!

All Hail the Yeti catch me on a good day with the video for 'Suicide Woods'


There are a literal ton of bands just like All Hail The Yeti but I'm digging on this new video/song. Just kinda takes me back and sometimes thats enough. The 'Fee Fi Foe Fumm I smell the blood of everyone" made me laugh lol out loud! The styles very much Every Time I Die but with the vocals of Hatebreed.

BLEEDING FIST try to beat some Black Metal into ya!


Bleeding Fist just sounds awesome. Too bad the band probably worships Satan and all that crap. The get ups they are wearing in the video are a bit much too. I suspect they have names like "Luggs" and "Maggotrot" sigh. Decent enough song for me to post though. Enjoy 'Monuments Desecration'

Emmure - "Speaker of the Dead' Album review.


I remember the day I 'found' Emmure. I was surfing the net and was looking through the Victory Records site and came across the song '10 Signs You Should Leave' and I thought it was the best thing ever. That album, 'Goodbye To The Gallows'. is still the benchmark for many deathcore albums and for good reason. Then came the album 'The Respect Issue' and while I think its decent, comparatively to their other stuff it was bland and repetitive. Most recently the band released the album 'Felony' which didn't have the staying power that the previous two had but was sonically a powerful album. "Speaker of the Dead is the new effort from Emmure and I'm mixed again, but not mixed like I normally am. Normally I'm mixed on the quality of the music and since I normally give vocals some lea-weigh since I don't care about them, it doesn't work like that for Emmure. I can understand almost every word of these songs and that's not a good thing. SO, does the silly lyric writing ruin and otherwise great effort?

I want to first talk about the the song structure of Emmure, and this is true for this album as well as the previous. I read somewhere that Emmure's music is just one long 'Breakdown' (meaning the part of the song that gets super heavy and you hardcore dance too). I agree that the music is designed to not be boring ever. You could literally bang your head to the entire thing with ease. Songs are in your face and brutal as hell and that's a great thing. Even when it slows down its still punishing stuff. When the song 'Solar Flare Homicide' or 'Demons With Ryu' I can't help but want to get up and hit something. The albums a pretty good length for Emmure as well. Clocking in at around 40 minutes its a pretty interestingly heavy event.

Not everything is good about the album. The drumming this time seems lazy and uneventful. It doesn't had too the music in the past. Almost like the drummers going through the motions. I swear he uses the same blast beat in almost every song. Hes a talented guy and I don't want to give you the idea that he's bad at what he does because hes certainly not. I just really expect progression when it comes to the drumming. The bass is also an after through, which is hardly surprising.

The last thing I want to address are the lyrics. I want to get one thing perfectly straight. I LOVE THE VOCALS. I tend not to name names when doing reviews because it makes it more personal but damn Frankie Palmeri is fucking sick. Even when hes not screaming he sounds like a bad ass. If I was to create the perfect metal singer his scream would be in there not doubt. Having said that he can't write lyrics to save his fucking life. Apparently he's getting dumped every album because the songs are all about a girl being a bitch, or cheating on him, its just not needed. There's a song on the album called 'Drug Dealer Friend' and I might be taking these lyrics out of context, but they are.
I want to watch you suck his dick. I know you fucking love it... Bitch
The more and more I read the lyrics of the song I start to think its a little homosexual. Maybe thats what he was going for, but its just very silly and immature.

In summery if you want brutal, crushing metal with the lyrics of Dashboard confessional, then Emmure is your band. I personally love the band and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Damn those puzzles in Resident Evil!

I kinda like this video and song and I'm not sure exactly why.

I guess its because it shows a real artist who might have really had a struggle with Trolls on the interwebs before. Its got an actual story even if its super short and kinda uneventful. The songs upbeat and happy. The songs called "Duh x 12' and its by The Hairs.So give it a try.

The Ocean has a new video out. Yes you should care.

Progressive metal god's The Ocean have yet to disappoint me with anything and the new video is no different. Theres something to just seeing live footage that isn't just a jumbled assortment of shows over a couple days or whatever. This controlled situation seems more organic to me. This is a really good song for a video as well. It showcases the best parts the band brings to the table. If you've not listened to their two newest albums released last year, then do it!

Someone needs to tell Mass Murder Agenda a couple things.

First things first guys. THIS IS FUCKING 2011... Nu Metal is dead guys. Choose one or the other. Secondly, this video isn't bad ass.... in fact Some of the 'effects' you used in your video are so painfuly bad that I spend more time laughing at the background or the stupid imagine that popped up than your shit music. This is the worst video/song I've heard in a while and I thank you for it. Thirdly, "Mass Murder Agenda' really? Did you want to sound like a band that toured with ICP? Wanker's!!!

I dare you not to laugh when this guy starts to sing.


Heathendom isn't just a stupid name, its also the stupid name of a band who really got off the mark on what singer they needed to accentuate their musical talent. This is the video for their new song 'The Symbolist' and the song itself isn't bad at all but everytime the singing opens his damn mouth it cracks me up.

Deadlock proves that they've showered at least once in their career.


Of course I'm joking they've prob showered twice. This new video for the song 'Virus Jones' Tries something a little different. Its clean... sleek. The girl singing doesn't sound like she a reject from an opera house. They display some impressive talent whilst playing their song. This being the first song I've heard of the band I can't comment on their normal fare, but I like this and so should you... YES YOU.

White Limo isn't just the new song by Foo Fighters...


It also starts Mr. Whore himself out Lemmy from motorhead. I really loved the video and the song. It reminds me a lot of mid 90's Foo's and not the serious that they kinda got into in their later years. Give it a watch below and don't forget to comment.

How about some new Amon Amarth?


Yeah. lets start the worst day every with some crazy fucking metal shall we?! Decibel actually debuted this song so I challenge you to go THERE to find out more information. I think the songs great. Its on of the best song's I've heard from the band. Which is crazy since Amarth has a new album drop every 2 months it seems. Here is 'Slavers of Fear'!

Why don't you have a Twitter account? Gary Busey does.....


I really do think twitter is absolutely retarded. But if you are like me you get crap from people for not having one. Well..i didn't have one until i realized that Gary Busey did and he is the soul purpose of why i have one now. Gary Busey is amazing and spreads the pure busey genius to everyone on twitter. So this being said. If you don't have a twitter stop being a twit <--- clever eh? and get one so you can follow Gary Busey (NotGaryBusey) and maybe Zach Galifianakis (NotGalifianakis). Oh and of course Intelligence Has Been Compromised.  OH and if you don't want to any of that and would rather watch Gary Busey and Chuck Norris battle it out on Walker Texas Ranger (which i know you do) then just watch the video below. Enjoy!
