Still Remains is:

-T.J. Miller - vocals
- Jordan Whelan - guitars
- Evan Willey - bass
- Zach Roth - keyboards
- A.J. Barrette - drums
- Mike Church - guitar and vocals


"Given that same chance combined with the in-born reflex to rise above the conventions and powers that seek to hold us back, Still Remains have created the soundtrack to their own lives, and in effect, have said No in perhaps the most time honored way possible- by immortalizing the sound of it in the form of music. Here is where they continue in the footsteps of our generation’s most revered artists, persisting in the spirit of innovation from which we find our fuel to move ahead with our own lives daily. It’s the sound of our gears grinding, the sound of integrity. These artists of our generation have nothing to prove to us. And in an inspired way, they are us."

- Recoil Magazine

Now for my opinion

Still Remains are a solid metal band with some sweet riffs mixed with some nice melodicness (even though they over do it sometimes :lol: ) They also put keyboards to good work and they never cease to amaze me of their skill at such a young age XD!

Metalcore.

Oh, dear. I'll still have a look, but I'm not too keen on that genre.

Nor am I, but that's not to say that every metalcore band is automatically horrible.

Just that a great many are.

Ya shouldn't judge them on their genre, have a listen to "White Walls", which you can download for free from here:
http://roadrunnerrecords.com/artists/StillRemains/music.aspx
You can also watch the video for "The Worst Is Yet To Come" (another good song) from here: http://roadrunnerrecords.com/artists/StillRemains/video.aspx

Yeah, I just listened to it. They are talented, but the music really isn't my thing.

Is "If Love Was Meant To Die" just as good as of love and lunacy?

Great write up. Good to see some quality n00bs here. Nice job!

Now to the bad part,

I can't stand these guys. I hate 99% of core though, that doesn't make me the most open to "core" bands at the start.

I've heard White Walls, ftr.

Nice write up again!

Hmm i have mixed opinions about 'Still Remains'. firstly they're one of those bands where all teh singer can do is scream, which would be fine if they didn't have a clean chorus! But i do like 'The worst is yet to come', apart from the annoying boy band chorus.

We were gonna name our band Still Remains, until we did a google search and found they were an actual band. They stole our original name, which in turn we stole from the Stone Temple Pilots song.

Crysiss

It would be cool to know that they actually stole their name from you.

I did a search of a band name i had thought up, turns out theres a video game called what I was thinking.

I was thinking Citizen Zero and that was in my earlier days.

i saw these guys about a week ago with Nodes Of Rainvier and Demericous, and i thought they were decent, i'm more impressed with their guitarist Jordan from his work on the Roadrunner United song "The Dagger"
