Hello everyone, IM BacK! With that said Im back from the warped tour in philly from friday. I must say every band I saw was AWESOME. Bouncing Souls stole the show as I was up close and personal with the band that day. Well here is what I have been listening to these past weeks as well as Chris and Adam from Halifax .

My Picks:

Matchbook Romance - Promise is by far one of my most favorite songs, they didn't sound to good though during their warped tour performance.

Halifax - The best signing in along time, these guys are so awesome. Mike the lead singer has been nothing but kind to me as well as the rest of the band. They put on one heck of a performance and there lead guitarist is simply sick. Check out purevolumes number one band right now.

Copeland - Simply amazing, there up-coming album "Know nothing stays the same" is a great piece of cover songs. Its a must buy!

Say Anything - Believe the hype, there new album is probably the best I have heard all year. Go and GET IT! NOW!!!

Houston Calls - Go and listen to this band, you will not be disappointed. There heading on tour with Hellogoodbye, Hidden In Plain View, The Academy Is, and Madison. They have a new sampler coming out so go and pick that up on Interpunk.

Chris and Adam from Halifax

Cartel - Played with these guys in Atlanta and blew our mind.

My Chemica Romance - Haven't taken the cd out of our cd players yet.

Emanuel - Friends of ours that rock from Kentucky.

Letter Kills - Most Bad Ass band you will ever hear.

Underoath - New CD is Insane.

i saw matchbook romance the other day (randall's island), and it was by far one of the best performances of the day. Given, Letter kills was sick, especially since the first few songs couldn't have had more than 30 kids watching. still, i think you caught matchbook on an off day....or i caught them on an on day...either way, give them another shot

I used to get soo confused.. didn't Matchbox Romance change their name to Matchbook Romance? Anyways, their pretty tight live.

Houston Calls is pretty good stuff if I remember correctly.

And Letter Kills, Emanuel and Underoath are amazing.

Their.... not there. Sorry, I wouldn't have said anything, but you did it like four times.

Anyway, nice recommendations, especially Copeland and Underoath.

No...They were originally The Getaway and then they changed their name to Matchbook Romance.
