Saosin has a different sound from most bands I listen too. They combine harmony and rythum along with hard core wrifs and incorporating all those aspects into the “Screamo” style of music. They are a great band to listen to. I definitely think you should get their self-titled album.

Last Winter is set to release their new album “Under The Silver Of Machines,” on July 24th. They have some great songs on the album including A Pacific Romance, Kiss So Hard, and The Violent Things. I urge you to pick this CD up when it comes out, because I am sure the rest of the album will be just as good.

ADAIR is one of those bands you could listen to all the way through their album. They have gained quite a following with their great sound and stage presents while touring with such bands as Story of the Year, Hawthorne Heights, Letter Kills, My Chemical Romance and others. They released their new full length album, The Destruction of Everything is the Beginning of Something New, with WARCON Enterprises LLC last year.

This band is a great sound with fantastic energy. They recently just signed with Trustkill Records and is releasing their debut album, “Not An Angel,” on August 28th. My favorite songs on the album is Prototype and the title track Not An Angel. They also have slower songs on the album I really like. One in particular is the song Walker’s Ridge.

Halifax has a great sound and progession from song to song. They are a fast band with alot of energy filled lyrics and guitar rifs. Their type of music makes it really hard not to just start singing at the top of your lungs. Halifax is a great band to add to your rotation of music. Their album, The Inevitability of a Strange World, is out in stores now. My favorite song off the album is Anthem For Tonight.

This band really rocks it. Their album “End of Silence” is a combination of industrial, classical and hard rock that offers a beacon of hope for an ever-growing army of fans. “End of Silence” has sold more than 100,000 copies, the band has already scored their first Grammy nomination, reached the top 10 on R&R’s active rock charts for national airplay. RED is spending 2007 attacking concert halls for over 250 shows, joining forces with hard-hitters like Flyleaf, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin and Sevendust. If I dont say so myself,they have great energy and fantastic stage presence for a new band and definitely can hold their own.

Here’s a band that I’ve been listening to for awhile. They were opening band for Emery a few years back and caught my attention. I picked up their debut album and was hooked. As Cities Burn has a mix of hard vocals with tender verses that seemlessly sound perfect. They’re working on a new album that is soon to be released. Make sure to check out the new song of their new album on their myspace.

Never 3nough has recently hit the scene where former members of Eighteen Visions and Lylah joined together. I guess if you can’t get enough of Eighteen Visions, this is your band. Their music style is a more alternative sound of the late Eighteen Visions. They’ve already got 3 songs demo’d up on their myspace. Honestly, it’s very impressive and sounds great. I’m looking forward to hearing more from these guys.

I’m not sure where I first heard of Madina Lake, but they quickly impressed me. Their sound is motivating and moving. It’s the type of music that makes you feel productive. Make sure to check out tracks Now Or Never, and One Last Kiss. Madina Lake is scheduled to tour on Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution Tour this summer. Make sure to check them out!

Here’s a band that I’ve grown to love. I originally found them after the demise of Mozart Season. After hearing a few songs I was thoroughly impressed. Jamies Elsewhere’s sound is smooth and controlled, sometimes layered with raging vocals. I love their sound and what they can bring to the table. Jamie’s Elsewhere are in a elite group that has so many dynamics in their music, it’s just right. I’m looking forward to picking up their debut album in a couple weeks. Stop what you’re doing and check out their myspace.
