Music. Music. And some more Music.

So I just want to let you guys know what I have been listening to lately, and what has been getting me through my days. First things first, music is my life, I love to hear it, play it, write it, anything. It's amazing. My favorite band is A Day To Remember, duuh. A lot of people can agree with me on this, because their music is extremely poppy, but the breakdowns are super heavy, and I think that's awesome. I'm seeing them April 19th at Club Retro, two days after we play a show there with Mozart Season, which we are selling boatloads of tickets for ;) But some other bands have made my "get me through the day" list. The first one is A Skylit Drive. They are very unique and I suddenly love this band. They hail from Lodi, California, which is really cool because we have played there before at the 180 (I wonder if they have played there?!), and it also gives us hope that we can definitely make it in the music scene. Another band is called Four Year Strong, remind me of A Day To Remember, with no screaming, and sometimes I don't dig screaming, so that's when I put on good ol' FYS. The last band might shock some of you, Haha. I have taken a lot of interest in The Red Hot Chili Peppers all of a sudden, and it's due to reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography called Scar Tissue, which just might be my favorite book at the moment. I really appreciate their music now and know what Kiedis went through to make it to the top (heroin addiction for example). I would recommend that book to anyone!
That's all for now. I just wrote you a novel on four bands I've been diggin ;)

  2. Of course, ADTR is mine and Bryan's favorite band as well. A Skylit Drive is amazing as well, Bryan got me into them a while back. I have always loved Red Hot Chili Peppers (Bryan not so much). I have never heard of Four Years Strong but I am going to check em out because I can always use a good "non-screaming" band.

    Nice, non screaming, music is always nice too. The Spill Canvas, City and Colour, Mayday Parade...the list goes on :]
