Definitally check out Tonight, the City Skyline http://www.myspace.com/tonightthecityskyline. Kind of reminds me of a Muse meets Fall Out Boy meets Number One Fan live child. I like it... a lot especially "here is nowhere" and "it's almost over." I guess you can download they're EP free until the end of July at http://www.mediafire.com/tonightthecityskyline.

I'd like to see a review of these guys...

[amandangerousx]

Caliban frickin' rule. Definitely check them out, the new stuff sounds as though it's going to be really different though.
