Joe Strummer - Love Kills
I had alota trouble finding the other bands and i was more intrested in them, anyways the best i could find was Joe Strummer, and im kinda afriad if i say something wrong the Clash whores will hurt me..
It starts with a pretty cool beat, then the vocals start, To me, they sound to Soft( sorry Clash whores) It keeps the same cool drum beat thruout the song, I like it but its not amazing. To me, ( Not saying its true) the song sounds computerized.
I prefer Joe Strummer with the Clash, but anyways i Downloaded Redemption Song, and i Enjoyed that song alot more. Love Kills just isnt my type of music. 4/10

[CENTER][B]The All-American Rejects - Time Stands Still[/B] (3:32)[/CENTER]

Okay, so I've already heard the Johnstones and Unseen's Band. I've only heard of this band and I had no idea what to expect, until I heard the beginning...
It starts off in a drum beat then loud acoustic guitar. Then a drum roll and the singer starts singing like he's a Beach Boy. Then it quiets it down and he commences singing. "The day I knew you would leave, I could barely breathe" - very powerful. Then the chorus he continues the sound of a Beach Boy, "ooo eee ooo." Then it goes back into the acoustic guitar and drum beat. This song is very computerized. "Can you hear me swing?" That pretty much sums up the chorus and connotates the rest of the song. Near 2 minutes the song turns into a different style lyrically and vocally then goes back to his "Beach Boy" business. It ends with a xylophone effect. Now I know why I've seen about 20 of my class girls wearing their t-shirt.
It isn't anything terrible, I just didn't prefer it. Sorry Jessica.

it starts with guitar playing single notes that ring for a while in between each chord. the drums pretty much go snarre bass crash........snare bass crash..... and every once in a while will have a fill. its a kinda slow song. "another man dead is one less to fight" is the chorus.."the blatant colonel gave the command and millions died in a far away land the atom bomb was dropped just as he had planned and the whole city was reduced to sand" I thought was a pretty good lyric. This is a good song with a strong meaning.

I been thinking about buying one of their cd's too.

I've been meaning to check this band out for awhile, now I got the chance.
Starts off with distorted guitar then the vocals come in right away. Throughout the whole song there is a high pitched slide on the guitar that sounds really cool. This is sounding a lot like 80's hardcore. "Three miles to extinction." It's a very good song, I would recommend anyone to this band if they likes 80's hardcore. Very good, but not much more to write because it's a short song.

I like the guitar work alot but I've never really cared for the guitar tone from Citizen Fish/Subhumans.Its about MadCow Disease. I love the line "Frightening to see how money and tradition can over-ride the facts and force a position." Meaning that This disease wouldn't be a problem if the world was obsessed with beef and money.I like this bit too "If what happened to cows happened to you,Having your children taken away,Forced to stand in a pen each day,Fed the **** from other dead things,Then chopped to bits..." A very wonderful Vegetarian Song. Why Doesn't Peta showcase this stuff instead of "Good charlotte doesn't drink Milk Lattes anymore!" pft Citizen Fish Rule. The End changes tempo a bit and ends with this public Service annoucement "We all suggest you go vegeterian, Then all these problems are all sorted out!" Wonderful Song,Download it now

Whoa that started up good and fast. Very catchy horn intro. The vocals sound really cool and I like the bit where his voice jumps up a few notes. Very typical ska melody, nothing new there. Not necessarily a bad thing, if it's not broken, don't fix it. The keyboard solo is sweet and reminds me alot of The Doors. Seems fairly repetitive, as if the chorus comes in a few times too often. I like the line "I'm too busy dodging bullets on the street" it really stands out. It was very short and very repetitive but not bad at all

This impressive song begins with a fast and furious drum beat, as you'd expect from a band that plays with Josh Freese. The song kicks in properly very quickly (after around 3 seconds) with the vocals beginning almost instantly.

The first verse continues on at a fast pace, over a sporadic guitar riff and reasonable background bass riff. After around 25 seconds the typically catchy chorus comes in, sung pretty well with changing vocal tone.

The song continues in the typical fashion of verse, chorus, verse, chorus through to the end, with a bridge coming in after around 1:10. This leads into a very nice guitar solo, with Warren Fitzgerald taking over for about 10 seconds. It is a good (sounds reasonably complicated for a punk solo, although i'm not a guitarist), and seems to display his talent well.

This is followed up again by the chorus, which is this time extended into an outro.

Pretty good song overall, although the Vandals have far better, even on this album. Hitler Bad, Vandals Good is a terrific release, and a must own so get it!.

[SIZE=4]17 Stiches- Good Intentions (punk) [/SIZE]

The song starts off straight away with a fast and aggressive verse. The vocals are screamed and the guitar riffs could easily be used for a hardcore song. The chorus is a bit more melodic but still keeps the song’s aggressiveness. The vocals in the chorus are also somewhat clearer than in the verse. Verse and chorus are repeated, then after the second chorus there’s a short break and a scream, then the verse comes in again and the song ends about as fast as it started. In all it’s a pretty good song, nothing really special, but has a solid street punk sound to it. The band reminds me a bit of sick on the bus. I recommend to fans of fast punk. 8,5/10

Mad Sin - The Dead End

After hearing good things about them I decided now was the perfect time to check them out. It starts off with a drumroll, and a build up, then going into a ska rhythm. The singing then comes in. He has a decent voice, not particulaly annoying. The chorus is a bit more lively. Then back to the ska with a funky bit of guitar played over the top. then after another chorus it starts to pick up. but then just as I thought it wasabout to get a lot better back to the ska again. Another chorus and its over.
It wasnt a particullaly exciting song, and I cant see me listening to it again much to be honest.

I've been meaning to check out this band. It starts off with a very melodic, awesome guitar. It plays for awhile then the singer starts. I like the vocals, they are awesome. The guitar remains the same through most of the song along with the cool bass until 2 minutes in where it pauses then goes back into the same chord. I love the music and vocals in this song. It's kind of hard to understand them, I want to find lyrics but I can't.

This is the best UK82 band I've heard in awhile. I love that genre and this rules.

[B]Flux of Pink Indians-Love Song 2:26[/B]

As i've been fairly ignorant of the anarcho genre i approached this with enthusiasm and a little apprehension.

It started off with quiet voices then unleashed a series of repeating drum beats and almost simultaneously the vocals begin. All good so far. The lyrics are good and the guitar work is tight. Then, after 30 seconds, the vocals get quiet and eerie with the guitar riff in time with the vocals, normal service resumes afterwards. The pattern is repeated until it slows down and a woman screeches, sort of like the shower scene in alfred hitchcock's Phsyco, and only the steady drum beats pierce the atmosphere. The vocals begin again, intergrating with the screaming.

Overall, i found the song interesting, different and quite intelligent.

Pipedown - Mid Tempo Song
Fugazi - Cashout
Bane - Speechless

[B]Fugazi - Cashout[/B]

Song opens with a very short slide on a guitar, then just a simple drum beat, which is then joined by a decreasing guitar riff. For awhile, the song goes through a very melodic little riff, and then is joined by the vocals. Lyricly, the song is ok. It seems to be about being evicted from ones house. After going back to the decreasing riff, and then another verse, the song leads into a more distorted version of the main riff, over which is sung what might be the chorus, but I'm not sure of that. After this, it eventualy leads back into the main melodic riff for the final verse. It then leads into an altered version of the decreasing riff, and back into the distorted chorus (?). It then ends rather abruptly.
Well, over all, I liked the song. Rather melodic, more so then some Fugazi songs i've heard, but fitting with the more refined version of Minor Threat they sometimes resemble (Are?).
Overall, I give it an 8/10.

[B]The Flamin' Grovies- Shake Some Action[/B]

Starts out with a mid-temo folky clean guitar line. Drums and bass come in at about the 5th mesure or so. The intro goes on with a little clean guitar noodling. The vocals cut in shortly after this. The singer sounds very 60s popish. He sings about how he wants to get to this chick but he's to scared to. The chorus continues in the same basic pattern and he talks about how he needs to shake some action. The guitar noodling intro repetes again and then the same verse-chorus pattern happens. No major changes in the song. Shortly after this there is a guitar solo. The guitar is clean and he uses a standard penatonic scale. Nothing special. It sounds like every other guitar solo did back then. After another verse-chorus pattern, the exact same guitar solo ends the song.

Meh... not a bad song but kind of boring. I would reccomend it to people who like the Velvet Underground or old the Who.

[b] Operation Ivy - The Crowd [/b]

This songs starts of with a nice drum beat. Then guitar and bass come in at about 10 seconds with a little drum roll just before it. The real notciable thing about the start of this song is the bass. It's alot more clearer than the guitar. The singing is great. Almost like a half shouting from Jesse on the vearses then more melodical on the chorus. As with most Op. Ivy songs the chorus is very short compared to the vearses but repeated to make the chorus longer. This song is very well done. The lyrics alone make the song a good listen. All around good song. A regular band for my record player

[B]Muse - Time is Running Out[/B]

The song starts out with a very low, distorted 'bass', that is possibly a syth, along with a finger snapping beat, as opposed to drums. The vocals soon come in. These are soon followed by a light keyboard part, and a quiet drum beat. The guitar comes in as the chorus starts up, building up in a cresendo. By the 2nd verse, all the intraments have come in, and its no longer like the very mellow beginning. After the chorus, annd another slight cresendo, the song returns to the original setup, although the drums continue along with the snapping, and a different keyboard part is playing. When the chorus starts up again, the song crescendos again, and then ends with a electronic sounding string part, and a heavy bass, and then kind of dies.
Lyrically, I didn't get much meaning out of the song - although the guy has a great voice - but the lyrics in of themselves were pretty good.

Overall, its a really great song, very well arranged (as is most of the Muse i've listened to), so I give it a 9/10.

So, yes, I admit it that I haven't checked out X yet. This is the perfect time to and if Das Ubermensch suggests it then it's most likely good.

Anyway, it starts off with an awesome upbeat and very catchy tune that gets me immediately into the song. This beat continues for most the entire song. The vocals come in rather quick and are definitely awesome. He sings lighter but it's still really awesome. "Singles rule the world" that's a cool lyrics i pick up. So at about 2 minutes in there is a solo and then right back to the beat and the singing. Near the end they are repeating the same thing and the girl accompanies him and I really like how they did that. It ends with him singing "adult books" and his voice raises a pitch when he hits books. It ends rather well and I really, really liked this song.

I'll definitely be listening to this song all night.

The chords stay the same up until almost a minute in, when theres a small change, although the stum pattern stays pretty much the same. I assume this is the chorus.
Lyricly, the song seems to be about friendship - words being pretty clear, although the vocalist is a bit rough. The song end with the singer repeating "I'll never give up on you", and being joined by a second, female, vocalist.

I thought that the song was pretty good, a bit simple, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing, and in this case, it isn't. 8/10.

[CENTER][B]The Skids - Into The Valley[/B] (3:10)[/CENTER]

This song starts off with a bass solo and it definitely got me into the song. This is really '77 sounding, pogo punk. Actually it's a bit lighter than pogo punk. It's still really good. So the vocals come in and they are very moderate, I like the voice I just have trouble understanding most of the lyrics. During the chorus the people chant lightly in the background which is pretty cool. At about 2:30 an awesome solo comes in which definitely gets me way back into the song. "La la la, la la la" he sings. The chanting and singing comes in again, I presume that's the chorus. It ends with him singer "into the valley" and some other lyrics I can't quite make out. But he sings other stuff in the same tune.
Very moderate song, definitely a good choice.

This song is a great song with a nice little bridge in the middle. The quality didn't sound very good, though. The song starts off with a drum countoff, and then leads into a slow verse. Then I believe there are a few more verses. Then comes the bridge when the song slows down a lot and there is just the drums for a few bars. Then the bass comes in playing a quiet line while the harmonica plays a lead. Guitar comes in a little after and they build up to a slow ending verse. It is very catchy, has great dynamics and switches tempo a lot. Lyrics are good too. I actually think the poor quality of the song makes it better, it makes it feel like you know the band, like one of your friends just recorded it in his basement. Very nice choice.

I've been a fan of Hot Water Music, but I have never heard this song. I have to say though, in my opinion this wasn't the best Hot Water Music song I've heard. The verse is pretty repetitive both in the way he sings the lyrics and the guitar part. The song starts with verse first, then chorus, then verse, then chorus twice, then the song is over.

[B]OS101 - Spam in a Can[/B]

This song starts off with a slow drum bass and guitar intro, followed by horns not too long after. The song is pretty slow in the beginning, then after a few hi-hat hits, it speeds up and starts into the verse. The intrumentation in the verse is minimal. Fairly basic kind of pop-punk guitar and such. The lyrics seem too be praising someone for helping the singer. The chorus comes in and after a few lines the horns come in again and there is a fairly basic guitar solo. Another verse, and then chorus, accompanied again by a little bit of horns and a similar guitar riff to the first chorus (it's really not much of a solo). Then there is a bridge kind of thing with horns and some power chords. After that the song just kind of fades out with some neat sounding cymbal hits.

This isn't really my kind of ska to be honest. It's as much a pop-punk song as a ska song. The singer's voice is a little iritating, and the instrumentation is nothing noteworthy. Basic horn stuff and simple guitar and bass work. I can't say I would listen too this band very much. It is a decent song [B]5/10[/B]

[B]Murder By Death - Killbot 2000[/B]

The song starts up immediatly with the full ensemble and vocals. Easy beat, light piano in the backround. Soon an electric cello come in (about 30 seconds or so). The mood of song seems to slow down soon after, although the beat itself stays the same. This is then followed by a new verse thats similar to the original, but sounds a bit... darker?

A little after 2 minutes in, there is a cello solo that lasts a bit, ending with a slight crecendo back into the main song. As the song starts to near the end, the vocals get a bit rough, and then the rest of the song slows down.

Well, I saw the band live a while back with Against Me! and thought them to be pretty good, which is why I chose this, but while the song was ok, I didn't really feel it lived up to what I rememered of them, so I'm only giving it a 6/10.

This song is sounds like an old sixties song. Its kind of boring, but that's just my opinion. It's not my style. They use a lot of background vocals, and I believe I heard a keyboard in there somewhere. It's pretty poppy. The solo in the middle uses a bunch of weird effects. There's nothing fancy with any of the lines or the rhythm. The lead guitar just follows the vocals, or vice versa. Again, I can't really say anything about this song, it's just not my style. Very old school :lol:

The song starts out with a neat little guitar riff, soon joined in by the drum, after which the guitars switch to the standard power chord fare.
When the vocals come in, I immediatly think 'whiny pop-punk' (or "Power Pop" as some mods call it). The song it self isn't that far over in the spectrum, but it still has some very popish melody, even if it is distorted by the heaviness of the guitar.
A few years ago, I might of been able to get into this song, but now I really just find it to be a to commen 'punk' cliche style. 4/10
(also, it is most definitly NOT Indie as was implied)

Ok, this piece kicks off well, with a catchy guitar riff, complemented by a great bass riff, which, is quite distinct above the guitar and percussion.

The verse backing is nothing special, standard powerchords, and the singers voice is very cark and brooding, and the lyrics are hard to decipher in places. Apart from that, its not bad, just nothing extraordianry.

The chorus seems like one to get a crowd going, inciting uproars and drunked sing-alongs, particular catchy and propaganda-esque. Typical "style" that can be expected from a punk band of this era.

The song pretty much carries on in this way through out the song. My only point against, is that the solo seems out of place, as it has a more, country and western/rock and roll vibe to it.

I'd have to give this 6/10



Ok - - Heres YOUR options....

[i][b]12 Stones[/b] - Broken[/i] (Progressive Rock)

[CENTER][B]Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight[/B] (3:59)[/CENTER]

I've heard this song before because it's probably the most popular song ever. It starts off with basic acoustic guitar and it's the same thing over and over. The singer has OK vocals and I don't really like this song now more than I did 5 years ago when it was popular. Near the end it stops and slows down a bit then it goes back into the same very repetitive and boring lyrics. This guy didn't really give me much of a recommendations list. And next time recommend some more punk. Afterall this IS a punk forum. Thanks.

[B]Antisect- They (The Eternal Myth and Par)[/B]

Ok, this song starts off really weird. Theres like a minute of strange cymbals and scary noises. There is a pause after this and everything kicks in. The vocals cut in after a short guitar intro thingy. This guy sounds very angry :lol:.
After the same thing repeats a bunch of times there are a bunch of drum rolls and the bass does a little solo thing. The chord progression only changes a tiny bit. Then theres a little one note guitar solo that goes on for way too long. The same thing goes on for the rest of the fuc'king song...

Not bad music but way to repetative and boring.
5/10

My Recommendations:

Gang of Four- I found the Essence Rare (funky post-punk)
Rise Against- Torches (melodic hardcore)
Dag Nasty- The Godfather (emo)
Bauhaus- Kick in the Eye (funky post-punk)
River City Rebels- The System (punk)

[B]Bauhaus - Kick in the Eye[/B]

The song starts out with a discoish beat, which is then joined in by the vocals. The vocals are kind of dark and echoish. The guitar eventualy becomes more pronounced, and at times the vocals are either multiple singers, or slight off sync double track. There is also a backround voice going "Oooo" once in a while, which I dont care for much. The main beat and riff never really change, so the song gets repetative.

I've always liked Bauhaus (Bela Legosi is an awsome song), but even though I want to like this song, it really isn't as good as I had hoped - 5/10.

[I]Choices[/I]
Mojo Nixon - Christmas, Christmas [Country Punk?]
The Vagrents - Respect [60's Garage/'punk']
The Cars - My Best Friends Girl [Post Punk/New Wave]
Eagles of Death Metal - Only Want You [???]

Will upload ASAP, or IM for them if your impatient.
