Man, I'm always so late on these. Here's whats good this week that YOU should be spinning.

The Agony Scene (http://www.theagonyscene.com) - I've been listening to their debut CD a lot, it's just great metal. They play it hard and fast, and I have a feeling their new CD is going to be one of the best metalcore albums of 2005. See for yourself by going to our featured downloads and downloading a brand new song by them called "Scapegoat."

Norma Jean (http://www.normajeannoise.com) - Personally, I couldn't stand their first album, but I feel like this new CD is a vast improvement from them. Sure, it's less chaotic, there's more structure, and there's more screaming and less breakdowns, but overall it comes across as more polished to me.

Comeback Kid (http://www.comeback-kid.com/) - We've been playing this CD a lot on our radio show, and it's the best thing I've heard from Victory in quite some time. A great mix of old school punk and hardcore, it's totally refreshing to the scene.

Cruiserweight (http://www.cruiserweight.com/) - What a pop-punk album. Again, a band I'd never really listened to until my friend kept playing them on the radio, so I thought why not? Well produced, catchy as hell, very very solid stuff.

Hit the Lights (http://www.purevolume.com/hitthelights) - I reviewed this band this week and there was a lot of backlash to my "contreversial" score. Well guess what, scores aren't everything. Yea, they do sound like Fall Out Boy, but they're catchy as hell and if you love the genre, then you'll love this Chicago band, period.

Also guys, don't forget about my radio show, details are in my signature - we'll be having some big guests coming in the following weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

comeback kid is my favorite among the "hard rock" (hardocre/metal) genre at the time. everything else is too generic

Wow I'm pretty impressed with Hit the Lights. I just listened to them for the first time and I have to say I really like what I heard. Nice rec. Comeback Kid rocks and the new Norma Jean is gonna be great. Cruiserweight is pretty interesting too. I can tell its gonna take me a few listens to get into them, but I'm sure I will.

Where's the GAD love this week, Scott? :lol2:

Haha. And I guess it kinda goes without saying that its gonna be one of the best CDs this year. Its just the new songs are so amazing. I wouldn't be mad at you for recommending them every week. They really are impressive, so refreshing compared to everything else. I would say they're going to be the Say Anything of 2005. If that makes any sense at all.

Oh and thanks for making my scene points shoot up. I feel like my life has meaning now. :lol2:
