Hey worms! ('Bill and Ted' reference if you didn't already know). Hope everyone had a rad V-day...I spent it alone...AGAIN!! No worries. I probably saved a good amount of money from that. Below are bands I like. Before all the haters start bashing me, I just want to say I'm not telling you check out these bands if you already haven't heard of them. These are just bands I like (wow, it's gotten to the point where I have to give a fuckin disclaimer for my sunday picks!). Have a wonderful week!

Atticus Clothing (http://www.atticusclothing.com)/Macbeth Shoes (http://www.macbethshoes.com) - Two of the best companies around. If only everyone knew how well they treat the bands they work with and their staff. AMAZING people!
Letter Twelve (http://www.lettertwelve.com) - I promise you all that this band will just appear out of nowhere and capture all your hearts. I'm dubbing them the next Further Seems Forever. I have the new demos and I'm am completely blown away. I'm not totally sure if they have a place for you to listen to their tunes, but it will come soon and I'll be sure to let you all know. Just be ready!
Recover (http://www.killrecover.com) - The bands new album WILL save rock n' roll. End of story!
New Radicals (http://www.newradicals.com) - If I could have any band get back together, it would be them. I know they may have been a one-hit-wonder, but whoever thinks that failed to realize how amazing their album really was. Please get back together!
Stars Hide Fire (http://www.starshidefire.com) - Move over Brand New. Make some room, Taking Back Sunday. Stars Hide Fire are here to stay!

Letter Twelve (http://www.lettertwelve.com) - I promise you all that this band will just appear out of nowhere and capture all your hearts. I'm dubbing them the next Further Seems Forever. I have the new demos and I'm am completely blown away. I'm not totally sure if they have a place for you to listen to their tunes, but it will come soon and I'll be sure to let you all know. Just be ready!
They don't have a place to download stuff yet, but I can send anyone some songs if they want to check them out through AIM (just IM me my screen name is MateoTT) but yes this band is going to be huge.......and Kamtin I like the title of your post (Bless The AM) thats my girlfriends screen name on AP......(Its also the name of a solo song Travis Bryant sings (the singer for Letter Twelve); which I will send to anyone if they want to hear it too)

the new radicals cd is amazing, i bought it like 5 or 6 years ago and thought it was good. i just recently starte listening to it again and am blown away. i wish they would have stayed together, the music is just plain amazing.

These are the records that have been in rotate this past week:

Bleeding Through (This is Love , This is Murderous) - This is the best Hardcore disc of 2003, These guys are freaking amazing. They rock my socks off everytime i hear them! I totally reccomend these guys to everyone, even if you do not like the genre. www.bleedingthrough.com

Furthere Seems Forever (How To Start a Fire) - I posted these guys, because I love these guy's music and they are on the verge of breaking up, so I did it as a tribute. Either way these guys are awesome. www.furtherseemsforever.com

Mesawest (demos) - These guys are awesome! My favorite of the picks this week. Each time I listen to these guys they make me rock out with my cock out. They are from the O.C., and they put on such an awesome live show. These guys seriously ROCK! I dare you to take a listen. www.mesawestmusic.com or www.purevolume.com/mesawest

The Bled (Pass The Flask) - These guys are awesome, They are intense. I love their music, and they are going to be huge.There is no denying these guys. Go out and get this CD. www.thebled.net

Off the Record (Nothing New) - Its about time New School Records put out a good disc, these guys blend metal/melody/punk so well. These guys are awesome and they put on a really good show. They are really nice guys and everyone should go out and buy this CD right now. Go! Now! Seriously! www.otrmusic.com or www.purevolume.com/offtherecord

what is it about [Stars Hide Fire] that everyone loves?

They don't scream. Basically.

[rad guru]

Are you kidding me? Bleeding through is fucking horrible, the singer sounds like phil from pantera which aint a good thing, and they just hopped on the double bass wagon, they fucking suck.

[Love_Hate_Fear]

Phantom Planet people!

[TylerH03eXc]

letter twelve is not the next further seems forever, letter twelve is about 5000 times better than further seems forever, they kick ass plain and simple.

[van_morrison]

Stars Hide Fire are horrible, so i'd disagree with that. i saw them (unfortunately) open for Steel Train in DC at the end of january and they were among the worst of bands i'd ever seen. Meanwhile Steel Train blew everyone the fuck out of the water. Recommend Steel Train, not some shitty pop/punk/screamo audio cancer.

you cant tell someone what to recommend...it doesnt work like that, YOU can recommend a band but you have no say in what Kamtin listens to. He could recommend Hanson if he wanted to and there's not a thing you could do about it. Anything sounds good to someone, so before you walk around talking about "oh that band sucks" just think about how you feel whenever someone tells you that you favorite band sucks, because essentially that is someone's favorite band you are talking about.
