New Music

I'm desperate to find some new band to latch onto. The EMO/Shoegazer/Alt pop bands like Dashboard Confessional, AFI, My Bloody Valentine, Coheed & Cambria and such are just not doing it for me. I always stay on top of the new music, and the younger generation is often shocked to find "their" bands spinning on my players, but there is just not much out there right now that I consider talent. Some bands I am checking out right now include:

Thousand Foot Krutch
Flyleaf
Evans Blue
presence

How can you not like presence when they have a song called "Tonz of Fun" with lyrics like this:
"Stranger in my bed. Can't recall last night
That's why...
I'm sleepin with Carnie Wilson's head.
Oh God, got to wash my nuts..
I've done it once again..

(chorus)
Go, Go, get dressed...
Get outta my bed...
now find your way home.
(repeat)

Lucky to have survived.
She was more than twice my size. Big is beautiful,
But I'm just a small guy,
And I could break under the weight of her thighs.
Maybe I should quit my drinking...
What was I thinking...
Oh God I've done it once again.
(chorus)
(repeat)


I rest my case about today's music.
