I haven't recommended music in a while, so check below if you're interested.

Note: There were two more INCREDIBLE bands that I was going to recommend, but can't because of a conflict of interest, unfortunately

Note: I FIXED THE LIFESTYLE LINK, IT WAS FUCKED UP BEFORE, TRY IT NOW!!

------------

Augustana (www.purevolume.com/augustana)- I get 4 or 5 e-mails a day from kids thanking me for introducing them to this band. I have loved them since the second I heard them and their song "Boston" is currently the soundtrack to my life. This band has a lasting sound that could be huge... Coldplay huge.

Lifestyle (www.purevolume.com/thelifestyle)- Reminds me a lot of The June Spirit. The songs aren't super catchy and poppish, but they have a very melodic/soft feel to them. These guys will also receive some attention in the coming months, stay tuned.

Ludo (www.purevolume.com/ludo)- Rock opera goodness. Listen to "Save Our City". The vocals are extremely tacky and may be extremely hard to get used to, but this stuff is ingenious. The melodies are super weird and the lyrics are extremely eery. This is not a typical band by any means, if you want something new and fresh to listen to, check them out.

Satisfaction (www.purevolume.com/satisfaction)- Throwback styled band, catchy as shit. To my understanding, they've been receiving a lot of label attention and can really bring a new perspective into the "scene".

Forgive Durden (www.purevolume.com/forgivedurden)- They're about to sign and their new shit rules...this band will take over the world very soon. A lot of people compare them to Gatsby's, although I personally don't hear the similarities.


--------------Danielle (www.myspace.com/daniellesomething)'s Recommendations--------------

Twilight City Fracture (www.purevolume.com/twilightcityfracture)- They're serioulsy one of the only bands I can't say that sound like anyone else.. like a couple of the songs sound similar to armor for sleep.. but omgz orgasm

American Eyes (www.myspace.com/americaneyes)- Really fun band.. really good live.. the just shot their video for Radio aaaaand dave is one of the funniest people I've ever come in contact with in my life.

National Product (www.myspace.com/nationalproduct)- Fucking amazing guys... a lot of the money they get from shows/merch they give to foundations and I love their Smashing Pumpkins cover.

Rock Kills Kid (www.rockkillskid.com)- I am fucking obsessed with their song on Myspace (www.myspace.com/rockkillskid), "Paralyzed".

Stacy Clark (www.myspace.com/ilovestacyclark)- One of the few girls I've seen with any kind of talent...she has an amazing voice and she's an amazing girl.

Bleed The Dream (www.purevolume.com/bleedthedream)- They're fucking AMAZING live and Ilove Keith...he's a shitface...but I love him.

Nevaeh (http://myspace.com/Nevaeh)- I found them a few weeks ago on myspace. Fucking amazing band, not like most bands i've seen lately who you listen to a few times and get bored of. I can seriously find myself listening to them for a while...i say "fucking" and "amazing" a lot, damn.

"The Great Affair Is To Move" is one amazing song. I've listened to that song more than any other lately. I'm glad they signed to a tasty label.

Good call on both Augustana and Ludo. And I think I may be on of the only people on this site who doesn't like Forgive Durden.

EVERYTIME i see your signature I think of this boss battle in Luigi's Mansion for the gamecube where you play this baby named "chauncey". That blinking kid looks just like him!! For some reason I just see that everytime I'm scrolling through the page and come across your sig. Haha; yes, I'm weird. :)

ugh, this danielle girl represents everything i hate about myspace/youth I cannot respect someone who uses the "I hate people who use cliche lines in their MySpace profile" line and finishes it off with "PS - I'm kind of a big deal."

Thank you, young lady. Now go back to making me my goddamn Big Mac.

Give "Boston" about 5 spins and you'll be hooked, Their CD is so fucking incredible, it's epic.

I saw Augustana on Thursday and was impressed. Good stage presence and they made the most of their 20-minute set (they move fast).

That Danielle girl is kind of hot too.

I deleted that girl from my myspace, cause she really represents everything I hate about myspace and just spams everyone with worthless bulletins in a desperate cry for attention ... no personal offense, I never met her or talked to her in person, just what I`ve seen makes her the prototype of what`s wrong with this scene today ...
