MATCHBOOK ROMANCE – Voices
Style : Emo
Good new record, following another good record (in 2003) with melodic and creative Emo songs. I’m wondering if this record is not softer than the previous one, not sure though. MR are really developing their own style of Emo and all the songs are good on this record. Will definitely get ya amped before you go surf. Nice tunes for a video soundtrack i reckon.
YELLOWCARD – Lights and Sounds
Style : Pop punk
I reckon Yellowcard went a little bit softer on this record. It’s good but less punchy than the previous one. This time I didn’t really find the little something that made the band a little different… Nice and melodic tunes though thru out this record. A few songs are really good.
THRICE – Vheissu
Style : Hardcore Emo
Damn ! Every time they release a new record it’s a good one ! That one is a good as the 2 or 3 previous ones, it’s got a special feel that only Thrice can produce, with catchy melodies, awesome and original sound, sometimes hardcore/screamo stuff and sometimes pure Emo stuff. What else do you need before you go Dk some massive pits ?
JIMMY EAT WORLD – Futures
Style : Indie
The newest album. Their previous record wasn’t that good but ‘Futures’ rocks, it sounds like the J.E.W. of the good old days. (listen to the first albums) A+
TAKING BACK SUNDAY – Where you want to be
Style : Punk / Emo
T.B.S.’s newest album is good, sounds like the previous one, is all EMO style. Maybe a lil bit too Emo but it’s all good i wont cry this time. ah ah . If you’re into Emo this is one you gotta have.
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE – Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
Style : Punk / Emo
Their second (and latest) album is super good, like the previous one. Maybe less punchy but just as good. You definitly wanna own this cd if you’re into emo/punk shit… Their concert in Paris, France was absolutly fantastic. They’re super good live.
THE BELLES – Omerta
Style : Pop / Indie Rock
The Belles is still kinda underground but not for long. This mellow album is perfect after a good sess, or to chill in your sofa. It melodic and creative without being too ‘pop’. Check blurcollardistro.com to get their music/merch.
MAE – Destination: Beautiful
Style : Indy
Great cd, more mellow than your regular punk band. The melodies are good, the sound is clean and this Mae album (which aint new) is a must have if you like indy stuff. A lot of new bands struggle to deliver an original sound and melodies you havent heard a million times. Mae aint one of those bands, they play good music !
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE – I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love
Style : Punk / Emo
MCR first album is as good as it gets, it sounds a little bit like the USED, it’s more original and punchy maybe. MCR have their very own style, both musically and on stage. This first record will really get you amped. Subtle melt between emo and punk. One of my fav albums latetly.
