Lemme take my Chiodos rec back, I have to be more specific.
The Chiodos Bros. - The Heartless Control Everything
I don't know if you can buy them anymore, but you'll find them.

[TheBaroness]

It's cold and raining here, so I recommend anything by Dredg, The Appleseed Cast, The Receiving End of Sirens, or Circa Survive.

[audiolove]

[CrazeeJaney]

Adam from FBR is so rocking.
regnyouth is definitely love.
& sorry, but i fftl's new album is a bit of a joke.

[danielplaysbass]

I recommend Transition and Birdmonster.

i love birdmonster! good call

[Blake Solomon]

I recommend Damone- Out Here All Night

It is available on itunes, but I am in love with the album single of the same name. Check this band out, metal influenced with a girl singer, who is pretty hot too.

Dude where are you from? The Glory? For the Birds? Well the Glory broke up which sucks, but Eric Ryan from the glory is now in For the Birds which I don't know how you heard of them. They just started up, but they are amazing. Everyone should listen to For The Birds.

[LilRyan732]

Kid Dynamite.

[ishotthepilot]

Adam FBR is wayyyy sexier than Shaant and all the rex. so i recommend him.

and NEW PUNCHLINE oh my god.

there's also this band The Arrival that was featured on here in March, i barely listened to anything last week except them.

i 4th the Transition rec, them and the Casual Lean and Procession Came Opposite (lengthy name, amazing band).
all so underrated.

+ Anathallo
+ Delft
+ Portugal. The Man

i played approximately 3.7 seconds of a Portugal. The Man song for my friend and she was like "wow. i love this." and i was like "wow that was quick." heh

[slickwataris]

John Denver (http://www.supercable.es/~fran11/laughing%20man2.jpg)

-a

[Kelley Nicole]

Tilly and the Wall - Bottoms of Barrels
Not quite sure how I feel about it at this point. It's good, but I'm not liking it as much as WLC yet. I still think "Lost Girls" is the best song they've written so far, and I know this album will really grow on me and end up being one of my favorites of the year.

Mates of State, too. Saw them Thursday and they were fantastic. Pretty much all I've been listening to this past week.

[CorporateFish]

Forgive Durden
Punchline
Chiodos
Moneen
Kane Hodder

I really love the new Punchline, I just got it in the mail.
I had really high expectations, and it blew them away.
I can't wait to pick up the Punchline album. Such a great band.
Good call of FD too, I'm seeing them Wednesday.

[Darren McLeod]

and the dismemberment plan
good call. Emergency And I is a classic.
Kid Dynamite.
Yeah! The DVD is great, eh?

[Steve Henderson]

some by sea is a terrible band
Or not.

[daang]

i reccomend tracking down some live recordings of animal collective. their CDs are good, but the live show takes things to a whole new level. We Tigers is especially amazing live.

[MotionIsntMeaning]

there's also this band The Arrival that was featured on here in March, i barely listened to anything last week except them.

good call. The Arrival (http://www.thearrivalrock.com/) is really good. i've been listening to their ep non-stop. check them out if you like acceptance, cartel, anberlin, etc....

[Nate_RAWKS]

I love seeing all the love for Anathallo and Josh Ritter. :D

and i recommend everyone go pick up the .moneen. and Saves The Day cds this tuesday.

[Ryan Imhof]

some by sea is a terrible band
Probably because they don't feature lyrics like "I'm Not o-fuckin kayy".

[KidLightning]

My recommendations:

Pistolita - http://www.myspace.com/pistolita - Saw them open up for Say Anything friday night. Bought the CD right away and have been rocking it ever since. Good shit.

Saves The Day - http://www.myspace.com/savestheday - In anticipation of Sound The Alarm's release this Tuesday I've been going back and rocking everything by this band (yes, including In Reverie, I love that CD). I know you all know who they are, but go back and rock them and remember why you love them and then get excited for Sound The Alarm, it's off the heezy. Fo' sheezy. Oh and if you haven't heard the "Bug Sessions" find them. So good.

Butch Walker - http://www.myspace.com/butchwalker - All the news about his upcoming release(s) has got me excited. I love this man and any band or non-band he's ever been a part of. Great pop/rock and probably my all time favorite live performer. So much emotion and energy put into every single show. If you haven't been able to get into him, just check him out live, I guarantee that will change.

Finally, Detwiije - http://www.detwiije.com/ - Instrumental rock from England I believe. I don't really know much about them except that someone posted their album in a forum a few weeks ago and I downloaded it and loved it. It's called "Would You Rather Be Followed By Forty Ducks For The Rest Of Your Live?" and it's awesome. If you're an Explosions In The Sky fan, definitely check it out.

Basically all I listened to this week was Beloved, Life in Your Way, and Thrice's Artist in the Ambulance.

[KidLightning]

No Moneen?
everybody was recommending them, i wanted to be at least a little unique.

plus i don't know how i feel about supporting america junior...err...canada...

[zizou1790]

Probably because they don't feature lyrics like "I'm Not o-fuckin kayy".

or bc they cant carry a fucking beat and their singer blows

[Pat Marquez]

I recommend stop using the word "sex," that is making me crinnnnnnnnge.

[Steve Henderson]
