Heeeelllllllo everyone! I'm still on a concert hangover from Sunday's Glamour Kills adventure, but do not fret for a blog explaining every detail of that "really ridiculously good looking" concert (virtual high-fives if you got that Zoolander quote!) will be posted as soon as I can make my brain work well enough to write something that would do the show justice! Here's a teaser for those of you who can't wait: I brought my friend Vanessa, we got there maybe an hour and a half before the show and saw someone that works at Valley Fair Hot Topic whom I know from my way too frequent visits to that wonderous store(she has my email address memorized... Yeah if that's not sad, I don't know what is)-- she had been there since 10:30 that Sunday morning, we slipped in line with a group of people behind her who had been there since noon, waited very impatiently outside of Allstar Weekend's -- I had no idea they were gonna be there, and it weirded me out because they are a Disney band-- tour bus, said "hey" to the Allstar band members as they headed to their bus to chill before the show, and then we waited some more scoping out all the hot band guys that were walking by us for the last hour before the show. Let me just say, I'm more than almost positive that was a run on sentence, but like I said... concert hang over, brain functioning like zombie. I like zombies, but enough with my rambling!! To here more about my concert experience keep checking the blog for entire post devoted to the insanity that is a concert full of teen-aged girls!!
Moving on to the real topic I wanted to discuss: my discoveries of some pretty fantastic bands that are worth a listen!! First band-- I will explain more about the band, as people, in my blog about the concert; this is based solely on the music aspect-- We Are the In Crowd. I might have been lying when I said that I had new bands to discuss, because I've listened to this band before I've just never given them the credit they deserved. I am actually listening to their CD right now! It's a very good CD over all; the band consists of Cameron Hurley, Jordan Eckes, Tay Jardine, Mike Ferri, and Rob Chianelli. Here's an equation that will only make sense to some: Paramore + Mayday Parade + All Time Low = We Are the In Crowd. What that means is that they are like a much more kick-butty version of Paramore, but only in the sense that both bands have strong female leads and that the rest of the band consists of dudes. The instrumental part is where the reference to Mayday Parade comes in, for WATIC's music has the wonderfully powerful presence of the bass guitar and drums which always makes the music better (and louder :p). The part that reminds me of All Time Low is the way the lyrics are written to abruptly, and automatically, get your full attention. The male vocalist of We Are the In Crowd, also, has an Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) meets Derek Sanders (Mayday Parade) tone to his voice which makes him such a perfect match for Tay's-- female lead of We Are the In Crowd-- powerful vocals. They are definitely worth listening to.
My next victim is, North of the City. I was on Facebook just now and came across them, so this description will be pretty breif until I start to learn more about they're music. My first impression of them = very talented band! They seem to really love what they do, and all the fans who support them. They make an effort to make a real connection with their fans. Their music is very addicting to listen to, and very catchy. They seem like they are honest in what they are doing, and not putting up a "rock star" front; they come across as genuinely talented and happy with who they are as a band and what their music is. That is something that always strikes me as a little scarce with people in bands these days, but these guys have real talent and not just the fake out kind.
I need sleep now... There are many more bands I would love to tell you about, but how about I tell you after I sleep?
Wishing you merry music listening, until next time,
Emily
