All Time Low


I go through random spurts of artists I feel like listening to and aside from listening to TDWP all week long, I've been switching it up with All Time Low. I realized I haven't listened to them in a while. This pop-punk band with their beautiful (sosososobeautiful) singer Alex took the stage at the Bamboozled Road Show a little while ago. Their new single, Weightless, is available on iTunes now and their album Nothing Personal is set to come out on July 7th this summer. These boys are from Maryland and got ATL together in 2003 and the name All Time Low came from a New Found Glory song. I'm really excited for this album because they haven't released a CD since 2007, So Wrong It's Right. I'm listening to ATL while I'm writing this and I can't get over how wonderful his voice is. Oy Vey. Go buy Weightless! (:

With Roots Above and Branches Below


THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA HAS A NEW ALBUM! With Roots Above and Branches Below was leaked online for their fans to download. I'm not sure if they did it themselves or what because I got the burned CD from my boyfriend who got it on Torrents. I have no idea what that is. Anyway, TDWP's album was supposed to be released May 5th. With Roots Above and Branches Below is definitely not as good as Plagues or Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord. I think they all kind of sound the same, except for Louder Then Thunder, a slower song that I've never heard come out of them. Dez Moines is my favorite from that album because it is, sorry to say, one of the only ones that sounds different than the rest. I still love TDWP and I really like this album, but I must say, their old stuff is better.

Bands and Twitter.


Really? I was looking through some bands on myspace and I saw so many of them have twitter. I DON'T UNDERSTAND TWITTER. Honestly, I don't care that Nate from Hit The Lights is sweating while driving around Georgia. I know this obsession with twitter has taken over the social world and even the business world. I now see it in the music business. I mean, I guess I understand that it gets your name out there and it lets fans know if there is any new music coming out, but I think in a way it is pointless. I think it's kinda weird that I just noticed that all these bands have twitter the week that we talked about it and my dad mentioned it to me. Creeepy!

Oh, just one more time.


TONIGHT, last show I am missing until warped tour. The Believers Never Die tour is tonight. It's alllllll the way in Pompano Beach at Pompano Beach Amphitheater. This tour's headliner is Fall Out Boy, who I have never seen because I have missed every chance to see them. Also, Cobra Starship is on the tour. They are my favorite favorite band ever in the world and I am missing them. FML? Yeah. All Time Low, Metro Station, and Hey Monday are playing as well but I've seen them all so it isn't so bad that I'm not going. Ever since FOB's new album, I haven't even listened to them as much. I don't think it sounds a bit like their old albums which I really like. I just went on Cobra Starship's myspace and I saw they have a new song called "Pete Wentz Is The Only Reason We're Famous" and it made me laugh. (for those who don't know, Wentz is the basist for FOB and he is really the "main man" of the band because everyone is obsessed with him). Anyway, I love Cobra Starship, good day!

This makes me sad.


Tonight, there is once again, ANOTHER show I am not going to. Somebody kill me, please. Tonight at Revolution the Bamboozle Road Show will be held. This show is featuring Forever The Sickest Kids, We The Kings, The Cab, Nevershoutnever!, and Mercy Mercedes. I honestly want to die. The second I saw this line up I told my parents how badly I wanted to go. Even as an early birthday present I couldn't pull it off. Forever The Sickest Kids I've seen twice before and both times were absolutely amazing. I've seen We The Kings twice and met the lead singer once and his signature is on my shoe. The Cab I have only seen once when they didn't even have their CD out and they were really good. I have talked about Nevershoutnever! in my blog before, I want to see him so badly. Once again, this would be such an amazing show...if I was going. Now I have to spend my brithday tomorrow hearing about how good it was from whoever went.

Another show

Once again, there is a show tonight that I am not attending. Set Your Goals, New Found Glory, Bayside, and Shai Hulud are playing at Revolution. I have absolutely no idea who Shai Hulud is, I haven't heard them or their name once in my life. But Set Your Goals is a really great band that is releasing a new album in July. New Found Glory is another, not really childhood, but younger days band. They released their latest album in March, I haven't listened to the entire CD yet, but from what I have listened to, they are just as good as they have always been. Bayside is pretty good as well, they covered the song Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston on Punk Goes Pop, Vol. 2. I really want to see Set Your Goals because I missed them when they came to So Fla last year too.

Warped Tour!


Summer is somewhat on its way! That means its almost Vans Warped Tour 2009 time! The tickets went on presale yesterday and I bought mine the second I came home. The presale comes with a VIP pass to cut the signing lines for the bands. I'm so excited. This is the next show that I'm going to and I have to wait all the way or July 25. :( Unfortunately, I just got my little heart broken because I looked and DanceGavinDance and Forever The Sickest Kids aren't coming to Florida. They are two bands that were on my "must see at Warped" list. But A Day to Remember and The Devil Wears Prada are coming back and I am beyond excited to see them again. Warped Tour, for those who don't know, is an all day outside show with lots of different bands playing with signings and plenty of merch to buy. I love Warped Tour, I look forward to it every year and I make SURE that my family stays in town that weekend. Last year, we came home from Las Vegas on Friday night at one in the morning so I could go to Warped the next day. I'm really pumped, only 113 more days!
