Tuesday, April 3, 2007

ARTIST OF THE DAY
Social Code

Hometown: Edmonton, AB
Genre: Rock, Alternative Punk
Sounds like: Green Day, Billy Talent
Current Album: A Year at the Movies
Myspace: myspace.com/socialcode
Official Site: socialcodemusic.com

This band is full of energy. Every song on their album is very catchy and fun. A Year At The Movies, their debut full album is complete. I came across Social Code browsing the internet a while back and I’ve loved them since. Travis, lead vocals, has a deep, sort of raspy voice, but when hits long notes they’re strong. Most of Social Code’s music is upbeat, but they also do have some amazing slow tempo songs that get you singing along in no time. They had a few singles such as Beautiful, Perfect Grave, and Everything Fine. But some of my favorite songs are Cats and Dogs, Flurry, and As Good As It Gets. They have a new self-titled album set to hit stores on May 8th.

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY: Bullet For My Valentine Tears Don’t Fall

Today, in 1969, Jim Morrison is arrested by the FBI for interstate flight, stemming from obscenity charges lodged after a Miami concert. Also today in 1994 a forthcoming tour by Nirvana and Hole was cancelled amid continuing speculation about Kurt Cobain’s drug problems, not much before his death.

ARTIST OF THE DAY
A Skylit Drive

Hometown: Lodi/Gatl, CA
Genre: Post Hardcore, Rock, Screamo
Sounds like: From First To Last, Chiodos, Thursday
Current Album: She Watched the Sky
Myspace: myspace.com/askylitdrive
Official Site:

I came across A Skylit Drive, browsing myspace, typical, I know. But after listening to their songs, I was hooked. Their vocal layerings and ear ringing screams show off the dynamics of each song, put together beautifully. They only have a 7 track EP and I’m impressed throughout. I’m anxious to hear more from them in the future. Some of my favorite tracks include Drown The City and According To Columbus.
