Ok, so I was not an Atreyu fan before this album, and I am still not really a fan of their older stuff now that I got them. Too much screaming, nothing I could really get into – not my thing. But I heard “Falling Down” on the radio and I loved that song. I [...]

Atreyu – Lead Sails Paper Anchor
May 13, 2008Pennywise – Reason To Believe
May 6, 2008Flashback: 1995, I found Pennywise’s “About Time” in a bargain bin for $5. It became one of my favorite albums and they became one of my favorite bands. Very similar to Bad Religion, but I like BR. I enjoyed the next albums that followed, but the last few albums they released in the 2000s were [...]
R.E.M. – Accelerate
May 2, 2008It seems like a lot of people have forgotten about R.E.M. for awhile. They haven’t put out a meaningful album in quite some time – does anyone even remember anything off of their recent albums? The last one anyone really cared about was “Automatic For the People.” There was some hype for their new release, saying [...]
Blind Melon – For My Friends
April 30, 2008Flashback: Blind Melon’s first album, self-titled, was pretty good – “No Rain,” “Tones of Home,” “Change” and “Time.” Their second album, “Soup,” got better the more you listened to it – “Galaxie,” “Toes Across the Floor,” “2×4.” Shannon Hoon was so deep into drugs that I read somewhere that he didn’t even remember [...]

Well, my wife Melissa got me into them after seeing the band play at her college. I warmed up to them the more I [...]
Foxboro Hot Tubs
February 8, 2008A “new” band just hit the scene called Foxboro Hot Tubs. They put up six songs on their website to download for free (they are not available anymore – if you go to their webpage, you get redirected to their Myspace page). Their music has a 60s rock feel, and they sound a little like, [...]
Pearl Jam
January 31, 2008Of course, the first post on this blog has to be about Pearl Jam. My favorite band, for so many reasons. They were the first band, back in early 1992, to help me transition from the bad music of the late 80s to the good stuff of the early 90s. They didn’t seem like they [...]
