    Interpol is an American indie rock band formed in 1997 in New York City. The band's original line-up consisted of Paul Banks (vocals, guitar), Daniel Kessler (guitar, vocals), Carlos Dengler (bass guitar, keyboards) and Greg Drudy (drums, percussion). Drudy left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Sam Fogarino. In 2010, shortly after recording finished for the band's fourth album, Dengler left to pursue personal projects. While the band is officially now a trio, they have recruited David Pajo as their new bassist, and Brandon Curtis as their new keyboardist and backing vocalist for their current tour.

    Interpol is one of the bands associated with the New York City indie music scene, and was one of several groups that emerged out of the post-punk revival of the 2000s. The band's sound is generally a mix of bass throb and rhythmic, harmonized guitar, with a snare heavy mix, drawing comparisons to post-punk bands such as Joy Division and The Chameleons. Aside from the lyrics, their songwriting method includes all of the band members, rather than relying on any given chief songwriter.

    Interpol's debut album Turn on the Bright Lights (2002) was critically acclaimed, making it to tenth position on the NME's list of top albums in 2002 as well as #1 on Pitchfork Media's Top 50 Albums of 2002. Subsequent records Antics (2004) and Our Love to Admire (2007) have confirmed the band's initial success and turned them into a commercial and critical success. The band released its fourth, self-titled album on September 7, 2010.

    I love this Band. Turn On The Bright Lights remains my favorite album of theirs. I'm actually seeing them live for the first time tomorrow night. 8)


  3. Forever and Ever Amen is also one of my Fav songs, along with It will All end Tears, Down By The water, Let's Go Surfing, and Me And Moon. I'm actually going to try and see them live too. Somehow, I' think they'd be really awesome at performing small intimate venues rather than big arena's.

    The Drums are an American indie pop band from Brooklyn, New York, with members stemming from the shortlived band Elkland (formerly Goat Explosion). The band is currently on the Moshi Moshi/Island (UK), Popfrenzy (AU) and Downtown (US) labels.

    Jonathan Pierce - vocals

    The Drums Debut Review.

    Rawness is a quality often ascribed to aggressive music, but it applies just as well to the untutoured innocence of I Need Fun In My Life and Skippin’ Town. More often than not, Pierce sounds like a man seeking to understand brand new emotions by the expedient of songwriting.

    In The 10 Rules of Rock’n’Roll, his newly published anthology of essays, the Go-Betweens’ Robert Forster manages to alight on the precise appeal of the Velvet Underground. “Before the Velvets,?? he wrote, “almost every band I knew were more proficient on their instruments than they were at songwriting. The Velvet Underground changed this.??

    A similar quality sits squarely at the centre of lo-fi highlights such as Book of Stories and We Tried. On the latter, Pierce might be “walking alone tonight/wishing you were still here??, but the Muppet-like harmonies and handclaps conspire to create a peculiarly childlike world-weariness. Pierce might be disingenuous, though, when he says that sadness is the foundation of all the songs he writes. After all, only the funereal bubblegum noir of Down by the Water proceeds at less than a foal-like bound.

    The Drums - Forever And Ever, Amen.

    This band was one of the best discovery's I made last year. They're just hella fun and catchy. I.E - Let's Go Surfing. They've got the whole indie pop thing perfected. If you aren't listening to them, you should be.


  5. A real legendary band. All of their stuff is awesome. I got into them through the wall, which is one of my fav albums of all times. I generally love the bands guitar work, lyrics, and singing style. Not to mention their artistic album covers, and live shows. Wish you were is another one of my fav albums of theirs.

    Kings of Leon is an American rock band that formed in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee in 1999, consisting of brothers Anthony Caleb Followill (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ivan Nathan Followill (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Michael Jared Followill (bass, backing vocals), with their cousin Cameron Matthew Followill (lead guitar, backing vocals). Each member of the family group is known by his middle name as opposed to his first given name. The band's early music was an upbeat blend of Southern rock and blues influences, but it has gradually expanded its sound to include a variety of genres and a more alternative rock or arena rock sound. Kings of Leon achieved initial success in the United Kingdom with nine Top 40 singles, two BRIT Awards in 2008, and all three of the band's albums at the time peaking in the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Their third album Because of the Times also reached the #1 spot. After the release of Only by the Night in September 2008 the band achieved chart success in the United States. The singles "Sex on Fire", "Use Somebody" and "Notion" all peaked at #1 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks. The album itself was their first ever platinum-selling album in the United States. It was the best-selling album of 2008 in Australia, being certified nine-times Platinum. The band's fifth album, Come Around Sundown, was released on October 18, 2010.

    I didn't actually get into these guys until Only by the Night. And Come Around sundown was a big improvement for them. I really loved that album, and thought it was much more solid and accessible. Just a really great band to listen to and chill out.


  7. They're awesome! Ever since Game I've become a huge fan. Especially since I'm a sucker for electro pop. I've been meaning to download their latest album. I'm hoping it's as awesome as their last.


  8. It's definitely one of the better albums released this year so far. Really worth checking out if you're a metal fan. Leach's vocal's are really powerful and you can feel a lot of passion behind them. It was definitely one of the main reasons I was psyched about the album, since I loved his vocals on KSE's Alive or Just Breathing. Though he easily surpasses that in terms of emotion and growlage.


  9. WTF? That's the first I have ever heard of that. The only problem I 've ever known of Alex to have had was his alcoholism. He quit drinking like 5-6 years ago and is suppose to be a health and fitness enthusiast now. I'm going to say that's just a rumor of some sort. Or perhaps you're talking about Brandon? Either way it seems to baseless. After all they've released COTD like 2009, and Covers of the Damned in October of 2010. I'm pretty sure everyone's still alive.

    Times of Grace is an American metalcore duo, formed in 2008 in Southampton, Massachusetts. The group consists of Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage) and Jesse Leach (The Empire Shall Fall, formerly of Killswitch Engage and Seemless). An album was planned for 2009. However, the group remained largely inactive until 2010, releasing the single "Strength in Numbers with their debut album, titled The Hymn of a Broken Man, released on January 18, 2011.

    Times Of Grace's debut album, The Hymn of a Broken Man, explores the depths of human misery with artful desperation, muscular dexterity, heavy aggression and gorgeous melody. The band's inaugural presentation is as rich and diverse as life itself, holding fast to the promise of strength through adversity. Jesse Leach's powerful, emotive, soulful, spirit-filled delivery - instantly recognizable - has never been stronger, backed by Adam Duktiewicz's trailblazing instrumentation.

    Strength In Numbers:

    I was really looking forward to this album, and I've pretty much been listening to it non stop since I bought it over the weekend. It's a really strong debut, and it great to see Jesse and Adam together again. Favorite tracks: Strength in Numbers, Fight For Life, Willing, Where The Spirit Leads Me, Untill The End of Days(epic Growlage), Live In love, Hymn Of A Broken Man, Hope Remains, The Forgotten One, The End of Eternity, and Worlds Apart.


  11. ^ Yeah that's true. I'm regretting not going to see them live when I had the chance. The last thing they released was an EP of cover songs from bands like the rolling stones and thin lizzy. Pretty good EP. But the songs I was most psyched about hearing was their cover of My Own Summer by the Deftones(since I'm huge Deftones fan). And I can say I wasn't disappointed. Except maybe for the intro, Alex did a pretty good job at recreating Chino's vocal style. And I like how they added their own sting to it.


  12. Well, time has passed(lots of time), and I have grown to like Leads sails, even though it's not their best work.

    However, their latest album, Congregation Of The Damned, might be the BEST work they've ever done. Both musically and lyrically. I love the guitar leads, solo's and dual harmonies, brandon's melodic singing, and Alex's sing half a lyric cleanly, growl the rest approach, or vice versa. Really great come back, the heaviness is back! It might be as heavy as their early work, but it's heavy nonetheless. Plus it's got zombies! An added bonus in my book.

    My fav tracks: Stop! Before it's too late and we've destroyed it all, Bleeding is a Luxury, Congregation of the Damned, Coffin Nails, Black Days Begin, Gallows, Lonely, So Wrong, You Were King Now You're Unconscious, We Are The Living Dead, Bravery, and Ravenous.
