Song of the Day 12.9.11

I just recently picked up the new album by The Maine. Normally this is a band that I would skip over because their sound is a bit generic and a little poppy. However, on their new album Pioneer (sweet album cover by the way) they changed their sound up a bit and in my opinion it is for the better. It's a little more southern and a little more edgier in some spots. This song is a more laid back tune, but it feels right with the lyrics. Especially when all we want is to go back and listen to that good old rock and roll. Here is The Maine with While Listening To Rock and Roll

Song of the Day 12.8.11

Every day the question comes to mind, what am I going to listen to during the day? What type of mood am I going to be in and what music is going to aid that mood? Every day is different. One day a song can sound amazing, the next you don't want to hear it. Amazing how things work. This has absolutely nothing to do with the song of the day I just thought I would share. You might recognize this song from a recent Apple commercial, here is Grouplove with Tongue Tied

Yesterday one of my favorite bands came out with their newest album and it is INCREDIBLE! It will most likely make my top 40 list which is coming up very very soon. So not a whole lot more to say, but here is Chevelle with the title track of their new album Hat's Off To The Bull

Song of the Day 12.6.11

This song holds a lot of meaning to me. A lot more now than it did, and it is a really great an beautiful song at that. Again an older song, I say old but really it's been 7 years since it came out. Hard to believe 2004 was 7 years ago. Anyways here is Keane's Somewhere Only We Know

Song of the Day 12.5.11

Back in the late 90s a band came out with an incredible debut album. This story could go for any band at the time. Alternative rock was the thing, everybody was listening to it. And much like the Nicklebacks and Hinders of today they all sounded the same. There needed to be a band that could appeal to the masses but create a sound that was all their own as well. Third Eye Blind did that perfectly. Their self titled debut album is a masterpiece of alternative rock in my opinion. That is why today's song of the day comes off said album. I give you one of my favorite songs (and a question I ask myself everyday) here is Graduate by Third Eye Blind

Song of the Day 12.4.11

I saw La Dispute open for Thrice about two weeks ago. At the time I had heard of the band, but never really gave them a listen. Let me tell you these guys are incredible live and know how to get a crowd engaged. So without further ado I give you one of my favorite songs by them off their newest album Wildfire (which will appear on my end of the year list) here is La Dispute with Harder Harmonies

Song of the Day 12.3.11

So a bright idea crossed my mind last night (with the help of a really good friend) to post a song of the day each day for you all. I don't know why I didn't think of this before, it just makes sense. So to start things off I give you Colly Strings by Manchester Orchestra. These guys are incredible and this song is so powerful. My favorite line has to be "Don't stop calling, you're the reason I love losing sleep." Awesome, awesome, awesome
