Okay, I have found some bands that you HAVE to check out. Some are really good, others are…interesting. I wish I could post mp3’s on here but I would hate for them to disappear in a few weeks whenever the artist removes them from their sites, so I’ll just post links to myspace accounts. For a heads up, some artists/songs are have strong languages so be careful how loud and where you listen to them. Let’s go!

Hollywood Undead

Hip Hop / Alternative / Rock
Los Angeles, California

Hollywood Undead is for fans of Linkin Park & Insane Clown Posse. Their debut album comes out September 2 on A&M/Octone Records. Listen to their music and read more from their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/hollywoodundead

Sing It Loud

Pop / Punk / Surf
Minneapolis, MN

Oh Sing It Loud, way to be like every other popular pop/punk group. If you like Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Forever the Sickest Kids, or We The Kings (thanks for the name drop photo kid) then you will like Sing It Loud. They are very catchy, but the music almost comes out as if the kids are..well, kids. Maybe it’s just me, but is this babified pop? I’ll still listen to it. New cd entitled Come Around debuts on Epitaph Records September, 23. Listen to their music and read more from their myspace at

Our Last Night

Rock / Screamo / Metalcore
Hollis, New Hampshire

This group right here kind of gets under my skin a little bit for personal reasons. My first record label Random Hero Records began to work with Our Last Night when they were fairly new. At that time, their screamer was only 14 (or close to it, but very young) so they group definitely needed some more time to perfect their sound. However, the other guy I worked with didn’t think they were anything talented. The other issue was because the kid was so young they were unable to tour. Okay, enough background info – they have perfected almost everything as they got signed to Epitaph where they just released an album called ‘The Ghosts Among Us’. They’re currently touring with From First to Last and Finch so I wish them luck in the future. Listen to their music and read more from their myspace at

I’ll leave you with this crazy awesome music video for a band called Polysics called Pretty Good. Not sure what language it is – but it wins #1 music video for the year in my book.
