Memories Of The Light In Your Eyes, Can Take Me Back In Time

Yellowcard Yellowcard has been around since 1997! They have some really popular songs such as Ocean Avenue, Only One, and Lights and Sounds. I even remember when some of those were played at middle school dances haha! One of their signatures is their violinist. He has a role in each song and it is one of the things that gives Yellowcard their recognizable sound. Anyways, Yellowcard took a hiatus from 2008 to 2010 and then returned by releasing their...

Coffee Shop Soundtrack

Day 5's Pick: Coffee Shop Soundtrack by All Time Low The band All Time Low originally started as a bunch of high school guys wanting to make a Blink-182 cover band. By the time they had graduated high school, they had already signed with their second record label, Hopeless Records. They have since released five studio albums and are now signed to the record label, Interscope. My love for All Time Low is very bittersweet. I love their guitar tones,...

She Likes My Bittersweet Love

Day 4's Pick is: "She Likes (Bittersweet Love)" by Forever the Sickest Kids Forever the Sickest Kids is a group based out of Dallas, Texas. The guys rely on their catchy vocals and melodic guitar riffs to keep their jams stuck in your head. I almost can't even go an entire week without having one of their choruses stuck in my head for an afternoon or more!  Another big plus of this group is the humor they bring to their performances and videos....

Your Voice Was The Soundtrack Of My Summer

Day 3's Pick: "Thunder" by Boys Like Girls  The band Boys Like Girls is very intriguing to me. I loved their first album, but was very disappointed in the direction they decided to take off of stage and for their follow up release. They released a self-titled full length album in 2006 focused around catchy pop vocals followed by their synth heavy and auto-tune laden release Love Drunk in 2009. I also have heard a lot of rumors that as the...

Give Me A Second Go

Day 2's Pick: "Second Go"by LIGHTS. I first discovered LIGHTS when searching YouTube for Owl City stuff. She has such a unique style that not many artists can match, but carries a similarity to Adam Young of Owl City. LIGHTS was started in 2006 by 19 year old Valerie Poxleitner in her bedroom with a synthesizer and key-tar. She made a couple of low budget music videos and slowly built a fan base. Later on she released her first full-length followed...

Where Are Your Guts To Fly?

I Am Trying To Learn I Can Do Nothing On My Own...

First off, I would like to apologize for two things. Number one, I am sorry that it has been a little while since I have posted! Number two, typically I try to refrain from posting on this style of music and keep it to myself due to the fact that not many of you are into it; however, if you are into it, enjoy it! If you are not, please hear me out on this song even if you aren't big into the sound. It is definitely a lot harder of a style than who...

I Found Out, Finding Out Isn't The Worst Part...

Yesterday I posted an acoustic video by the band We Are The In Crowd and promised to post their most recent music video. Well here it is. This is the video for Both Sides Of The Story, which personifies their give and take lyric style between guy and girl vocals along with some good humor. It's pretty sweet.  Side note: I apologize for the "F Bomb" towards the end... -And...

You Had A Piece Of My Heart, But Not Enough To Just Run Away...

We Are The In Crowd is an up and coming group that one of my friends told me about this summer. I really want to see them live but when ever they are close I just can't seem to get my schedule to work out. Anyways...this group brings a new dynamic to the pop rock genre by splitting vocals between a guy (Jordan) and a girl (Tay). Their songs typically carry the contrast of a girl and a guys perspective on a situation which is really cool because it's kind of like listening to a story in a refreshing way. Maybe I am just weird and think that, but either way, I find it to be really awesome. This is an acoustic performance of their song "Never Be...

Gotta Get You Out Of My Head...

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great Sunday afternoon! I was out driving this morning and this guy's album came on my iPod while in shuffle mode. I realized that I hadn't listened to him in a while and so all of his stuff has been playing all morning, so I thought I would share some of it! He is a small artist who began his career by recording all of his stuff himself and now he is signed and put out this video a year and a half ago. I hope you enjoy it and this beautiful weather today! -And...

If It Means A Lot To You

I've got another cover video for you today! One of my friends showed me this cover of the A Day to Remember song and I love it! I will say that it isn't nearly as good as the original due to the fact that it is supposed to be a two part song with a guy and girl singing it; however, it is the best cover of the song there is thus far. I hope you like it! - Andr...

Lights Will Guide You Home...

This video was just posted a couple days ago, and has constantly been on replay. Fix You is my favorite Coldplay song, and I can honestly say that I think this version blows the original out of the water! Give it a listen and check out some of the other videos by both Tyler Ward and Boyce Avenue! -Andr...
