These boys have quite the drumline happening in the track, "Into Your Dream", a slice off the album "On The Wing Now". I'm really happy with it. It, being the guitar, tune, voice, SONG. Foreign Born has my R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Excellent album, through and through. These folks are compared to Rogue Wave quite often... I don't thoroughly understand, there is a significant difference. However, just as brilliant in their own way.
"See These Bones" (album: Lucky) (artist: Nada Surf)
I love wild, sweet oranges. I also love Wild Sweet Orange. So do you. Here's a slightly folkish punk-rock tune for you all to enjoy (somewhere along the lines, in my mind, of a modern Violent Femmes).
I've found yet another artist that has heightened the sound of their tunes with string instruments... The Choir of Young Believers. Jannis Noya Makrigiannis emerged out of Denmark and graced the rest of this Earth with his presence when grabbing a couple of his friends and releasing his first EP, "Burn The Flag".
This one may be the first full length album as of now, but I haven't found a track on it that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. I'm ready for another release. Cheers. :)
"Hollow Talk" (album: This is For the White in Your Eyes)
All right, I know I have always enjoyed The Academy Is. But, have they always sounded like this? It's been an eye-opening experience for me. Anyway, here's my toast to "Fast Times at Barrington High".
"Rumored Nights" (album: Fast Times at Barrington High)
The Apples in Stereo are the artists of choice for my day, today. Here's an American indie rock band you can really drive to, if you get what I mean. A new album is currently in creation somewhere deep within the city limits of Lexington, Kentucky... And has a release date set for April 20, 2010. As for New Magnetic Wonder; duo discs of glory! This album has two compact discs of mind chokingly excellent tunes. Take 'em for a spin, sometime.
This one in particular has been sending me into even further Summer heat withdrawals... "The Sun Is Out" (album: New Magnetic Wonder CD 1)
