it's "stripped down" saturday! on saturdays, i will recommend an acoustic song or some softer kind of song, ya know? this week, i picked i fight dragons' "with you" because i'm a sucker for male/female duets. listen to the lyrics; they're great.

broadway - party at sean's house
it's "free to pick whatever i want" friday! did you really think i would restrict myself to a theme every day? on friday's, i'm just going to pick a song that i've really been jamming to lately. broadway is a a post hardcore band that really doesn't do too much screaming, but their latest album, gentlemen's brawl, was a super catchy but super dynamic pop punk album. also, their drummer also plays drums for memphis may fire.
party at sean's house is definitely my favorite song off of the new album. it starts off with a thick, major key breakdown followed by a really strong verse that keeps building up for the chorus. the mix is so thick the whole time, and i can't stop listening to it. i don't want to spoil the whole song for you, so just take a listen, give them a like on facebook, and grab a ticket for their tour if you're lucky enough to live by their stops.

a day to remember - since u been gone
today is "that's been done already" thursday. on thursdays, i will recommend a cover of a song, especially one that changes the genre of the song. sorry if you feel like these are just "punk goes pop" tracks. i promise to mix it up a little.
this is a day to remember's rendition of kelly clarkson's "since u been gone," which can be found as a bonus track on the reissue of their sophomore album, "for those who have heart," and on their b-sides ep, "attack of the killer b-sides." i had to include that because the album art on that ep is so cool.
many argue that this cover's popularity on myspace is what jumpstarted the band's path to success. whether or not that's true, this track still kicks butt.

forever came calling - front porch sunrise
it's the second day of my daily song recommendations! today is "today is tuesday tuesday." tuesday is a special day because cd releases usually happen on tuesdays. so on tuesdays, i will share a song from this week's release period.
forever came calling brings an aggressive, groovy pop punk sound that i think you will like. go give them a like on facebook. their whole cd is streaming on youtube right now, so give it a listen if you like what you hear. front porch sunrise is my favorite song by them, and the music video for it is pretty cool, so you can check it out as well.

vengeance from the sky - sentience
my first daily song recommendation! today is metal monday, so i picked a song that's on the heavier side. i really the reoccurring riff because it reminds me of 20% slower bleed. don't forget to give Vengeance From The Sky a like on facebook! they only have 200. happy listening!
