Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst has definitely put his two cents out into the world- he has put out a total of fifteen albums and EPs altogether, plus countless miscellaneous songs. With his new album, Cassadaga, and a new EP, Four Winds, Bright Eyes has already created quite a stir. Everywhere I look, I see a review, interview, or advertisement featuring Bright Eyes and Conor [aka I'm getting s

I'm sad to say that Good Charlotte was the band that I lost my concert virginity to. I hated their music then, and I hate it now. I only went because my brother was obsessed with them and I didn't want to sit home alone all night. We ended up having a good time, or as good a time as you can have while wanting to press yourself against the amps and pray that you go deaf. By the end of the concert,

It has been a good six months since I first heard of the Format. I stumbled upon a review of their new album, "Dog Problems", and I was intrigued. I read review after review, and they all said that Dog Problems was one of the best albums they had heard in a while. I went and bought it, and I was definitely not disappointed. This album is one of my favorites of 2006 [and trust me, that is a very ha

I originally found Boys Like Girls through the internet [like I find every other band] a little over a year ago. It was after I had bought the CD that I realized that my friend was friends with these people. It kind of came as a shock to me because I had been listening to their demos and old recordings for a long time and Martin Johnson's voice has changed dramatically since he was in his previous

Wilco stands to be the only thread of country that I can stand without wanting to puke. And that, my friends, is a feat within itself. Even though they're technically "alt-country", to me they don't sound at all country. Yet, I've been blessed with parents who didn't force any genre upon me, so I could have an entirely different idea of what alt-country is supposed to be. Anyways, Wilco's latest

I am a big fan of Yellowcard. Their 2006 record, Lights and Sounds, was an amazing record, no matter how few records it sold. Their latest record, Paper Walls, was a huge let down for me. It is full of mainstream, pop-y songs that are sure to please their MTV fans. It seems as though the essence of the album was lost. It seems like they were focusing much more on how many records they would sell,

I read a review of Waking Ashland's "The Well" last week in AP magazine, and they didn't give it such high praise. I decided to give it a try, and I'm currently working my way through it. I'm on track 9 of 12, and I have to say, its not as bad as AP makes it sound. It starts out really strong, with catchy tunes and such. Towards the end, its getting kind of like "Composure". I'm not hearing much o
