11.14.04 - Scott Weber

[Scott Weber]

Alright dudes, I've been listening to a TON of music this week, so here it comes.

Pedro the Lion (http://pedrothelion.com) - People can talk all day about Brand New's lyrics, or Straylight Run's lyrics, but when it comes down to it for me - I'd take Pedro any day. Simply the best lyrics of any band I've ever listened to. Listen to Magazine for incredible lyrics and amazing drumming. Pedro is just guitar and drums, and if you need to start with one album check out Control.

My Getaway (http://www.purevolume.com/mygetaway) - This band messaged me the other day, and I checked out there PV page. Man, was I suprised. These dudes are 17 years old and write awesome power emo-rock. Give it a listen and keep an eye out for this band.

Bayside (http://baysiderocks.com/index1.html) - How underrated is this band? Dark, heavy infectious rock with great hooks. It's also full of super dark lyrics (think Park). Their full length album is something not to be missed.

The Who - Don't forget about this band. If you never heard them, change that. Start with listening to the song "Baba O'Reily" (commonly mislabled as Teenage Wasteland). I have not been able to get them out of my head all week.

The Faint (http://www.thefaint.com/news/) - I'd actually never heard this band until our newest staff member Brandon introduced me to them. Crazy weird dance synth rock, get off your ass and dance.

Bright Eyes (http://brighteyes.com) - The new Digital Ashes full length is freakin' incredible. Not much else I'll say about this, but you all definitely have something to look forward to in 2005...

3 (http://www.thefamily3.com/) - Uh, wow. This band is like...Coheed and Cambria meets Tool. It's weird, catchy, and insanely talented. Several songs show incredible guitar solos, or bass lines. It's really something to check out.

Daphne Loves Derby (http://daphnelovesderby.com) - After seeing this band live...SIGN THEM NOW. Their drummer was so tight and in-sync, great melodies, great live show, just awesome music. Another awesome Seattle band...


A few other things to recommend. Everyone should be watching The O.C., because last week's episode was back to the glory days. Witty, funny, and fresh...man, I love that show.

Everyone should also go see the Incredibles - it very well might be the best Pixar film yet. Absolutely hilarious.

Finally, you should all go check out Leetcore Clothing (http://leetcore.com) for all your 1337 n00bz0r clothing needs. Funny and cheap shirts...peep it.

[OveriseFan]

Nice reccomendations

Including Incredibles, awesome movie.

[cheeruptheEmo]

bright eyes is amazing!

[SomePerson22]

i can't wait for the new bright eyes. i'm preordering those tomorrow.

the o.c. was so great thursday. i was worried after the premiere it wouldn't be as funny anymore, but this episode...i laughed maybe a little too much.

[bigal00004]

I just started listening to Pedro recently, and I totally agree, they are great.

[AlwaysPunkin45]

could you do purevolume links next time so I don't have to sore my fingers :)

[tide4last]

im going to see pedro on tuesday, exciting

[burnpianoisland]

the who is the shit..good call.

[Scott Weber]

could you do purevolume links next time so I don't have to sore my fingers :)
um, no. We link to the band sites. there's links to all their PV sites on their webpage. cant do both, buddy. last time I linked to pv pages people complained about not being able to find the band website. can't win.

[xxnfg05xx]

Thanks scott for giving bayside some love. Their album is my fav of 2004. I love the lyrics, very Park like,

[waggy]

the incredibles rules. best animated movie since the nightmare before christmas (one of my favorite movies long before it became "scene")

[XPrettyXWasteX]

Hell yeah for the Faint and Bayside.

[saintjoel]

um, no. We link to the band sites. there's links to all their PV sites on their webpage. cant do both, buddy. last time I linked to pv pages people complained about not being able to find the band website. can't win.

lazy ass

[shinkickedjames]

bayside should stay underrated...they're terrible.

[halfpricepizza]

I think its incredibly prtentious, but at the same time incredibly awesome, that a band names themselves "3". wow.

[still]

My Getaway! Yes!

[FullForever69]

very good recommendations................. except i think daphne loves derby is really overrated...........
this coming from someone with a used icon...

[FullForever69]

im going to see pedro on tuesday, exciting
I saw them last night with Starflyer 59, both bands were awesome but what else would you expect.

[Mickey]

it's true!

about the punching anyway, heh

I'm next in line to punch Kev in the face.

[scorcho490]

What?! No This Providence recommendation? I need to check out 3.

haha hey bro, good seeing you last night - yeah, i figure I recommend TP every week so....needed a break. everyone knows they kick ass by now...i hope..

[fork_in_outlet]

The Who - Don't forget about this band. If you never heard them, change that. Start with listening to the song "Baba O'Reily" (commonly mislabled as Teenage Wasteland). I have not been able to get them out of my head all week.
Yeah if anybody hasn't heard of the Who then there's something wrong with them. I can't wait for their new record.

[em0_stars]

very good recommendations................. except i think daphne loves derby is really overrated...........

sorry but you are wrong.

[rr_thecrowing]

I HIGHLY recommend 3. They're incredible.

I still have ONE friend though (who's a big Coheed fan) who is still unconvinced that 3 is amazing. He even saw them live (and I do suggest you see them live), and still doesn't really like them.

Something is really wrong with that kid.

[The Bled 13]

Finally, at least two good bands are recomended! The Who and Pedro, let's keep it up!

[Zinja]

Yo Scott,
Daphne loves derby is great.
I can listen to their EP on repeat, which is really rare.
Man when the screamer dude came out for the end of "deserts eating oceans," sorry but I just lost it. So funny!
Anyways i'm representing with my new daphne loves derby shirt on right now.
I bought 4 shirts last night. Yikes!

what did perdo play, i saw them a year ago and i only knew one song and it was one of the best shows ive been to

[MistaChang]

I think you'll be right about the Bright Eyes album being the best of 2005, even though I don't have the slightest clue of what genius albums will come out throughout next year....but still, WOW, Digital Ash In A Digital Urn is already going to be so difficult to top.

[middlenameboom]

I couldnt agree more with the OC recomendation. This show is my wet dream: good music (tons of death cab and bright eyes references), comics (just last week - mentioned Bendis whos avengers run kicked ace, identity crisis (interesting for a dc book), and seth named the comic book club the league which was hillarious) and hot girls (Summer (oh boy)).

[thewebguy]

I'm next in line to punch Kev in the face.
OH NOES!!1

[tapisbaby]

3 was incredible live, more people need to listen to them.. The drummer for Coheed was in the band for 9 years he said...
