New Music and Some Updates

Hello. It has been a while. I've been recharging and trying to find some quality music to discuss. Lucky for me, a couple of my favorite bands recently released some news, so here it goes...

Anthony Green: I talk about it him way too much on this blog. However, now, as opposed to previously just telling you what bands he has been in and how awesome he is, you can check him out for yourself. His new album, Avalon, is coming out August 5th and he has posted a couple songs to check out (Dear Child and Devil's Song). The songs are available in the player to your left. I'm very excited for this album, and to see him live w/ Good Old War and Person L in September.

The Sound of Animals Fighting just updated their MySpace page with some information about their upcoming release, The Ocean and The Sun. It'll be released on Sept. 9th. The album art is in this post. I need them to post a new song already.

A couple bands I'm listening to right now are Homesick for Space, The Receiving End of Sirens, The Fall of Troy, A Northern Chorus, and obviously Anthony Green. There are some songs in the player to the left.

Person L at DC9, 6/16

Tomorrow night former The Starting Line bassist/frontman Kenny Vasoli will be bringing his new band, Person L, to DC9.

With The Starting Line on their “hiatus”, Vasoli traded in his bass for a guitar, put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and started with his new venture. Person L is an indie/experimental act that substitutes the hook-laden choruses heard in The Starting Line with less poppy/even vocal arrangements. The music itself consists of a basic guitar, bass, piano, drums setup.

I personally have had trouble getting into Person L. I feel like some of their songs are a bit thrown together and lack a sense of direction. However, after seeing The Starting Line live a few times, listening to their music since their inception, and knowing Vasoli has a killer voice, I feel guilty not giving Person L a real chance. With that being said, I'll be there. The shows starts at 8:30PM.

Sunshine, one song I do like from their Myspace page, is available to check out in the player on the left side of the page.

UPDATE! The Person L show was much better than I thought it would be. They played many more songs than are available on the web, and they played those songs with such conviction...it was awesome to see. They have an album coming out August 5. I'll definitely be picking it up.
