Songs of the Moment
Haven't really had any music posts for while, so here's a few "singles" I'm currently listening to:
Waiting by Over It
This song is off their soon to be released (March 8) album Silverstrand. Over It and this album in particular highly hyped by AP.net. The album as a whole is quite good, but not "OMG this is amazing". The song Waiting has been stuck in my head for a few days now. It's straight up pop-punk: upbeat and catchy. And what can I say, I'm a sucker for the lyrics. You can download the original version of the song from their PureVolume page.
Save Me by Unwritten Law
This is the first single off their new album, Here's to the Mourning. It's another song with a catchy chorus. The video is pretty cool too (it's animated) and has been getting some play on Fuse lately.
All That I've Got by The Used
First heard this song on the mix CD Mike included with the anime music video DVD he sent me over Christmas. I immediately liked the song then, and now it's become the second single off their album In Love and Death. They've been playing the video on Fuse quite a bit, as they should because it's an awesome video. It's partially animated, and partially the band performing. It follows this kid who is reading a book and he gets sucked into the story and he encounters animated versions of the band members as he tries to find "the end". It's very Alice in Wonderland-esque and one of the cooler videos I've seen in a while.
So Contagiously by Acceptance
Just heard this song today off their upcoming album, Phantoms, and it's my current favorite on the album. It's a bit more mellow than the other songs I've listed.
Ohio is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights
This is my "screamo" song of the moment. First heard this song on Fuse, and the band is actually from Ohio...Dayton specifically. If I were still at Case, I'd probably go check out their live show.
