Eh, I wanted to post it anyway. P. TM’s new vid for “Do You.”
Loove, loove, looove this video. It reminds me of a creepy Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Good stuff….

“The” Muse
There’s a reason they are my favorite band….
Muse just recently performed “Uprising” overseas on some television show, and apparently the show told them they HAVE to perform to a backing track. Check out the video below for the hilariousness that ensued. As if I needed anymore reason to love or respect them anymore.

Yeah!
Check out this interview/acoustic in-studio performance with Brand New. A nice little way to celebrate the upcoming debut (or the leak) of Daisy, which I’m hoping to have a review up for very soon. In the mean time, checked out a beautiful, subdued version of 2006 The Devil and God’s amazing opener, “Sowing Season (Yeah)”

New Fall of Troy
The Fall of Troy just released “Panic Attack” from their upcoming album In the Unlikely Event, as a free download on their official website. In order to obtain the free download, you have to sign up for the mailing list. If you’re lazy like me, you can go ahead and listen to the new song below! It’s rumored that the song is entitled “Panic Attack” because lead singer/guitarist Thomas Erak allegedly was having a panic attack while recording it. If you listen to some older Fall of Troy in all of its gluttonous, screamtastic, and finger-tapping glory, one would think that they would have to be having some kind of attack to compose such erratic music.
“Panic Attack” demonstrates a very natural progression for the band – creating a very enjoyable balance between more accessible melodies and hardcore/complex compositions that have gained the Fall of Troy a very loyal and devout fan base. Whereas previous efforts would make your head spin out of control, this new song reveals the band showing a little restraint and focusing more on song writing than having a musical freakout. What do you guys think? I’m definitely excited for the new album!

Thrice on top!
Congratulations to Thrice for having the top album on iTunes right now! It was really exciting to open up the iTunes store and see Beggars sitting up at #1 this morning. I’m holding out to buy the physical release, but I’m glad other people are supporting them either way. I’ve been hearing great things about the album so this makes it even harder for me to wait!
Interestingly enough, I just posted about the new album cover. But, the digital release has yet ANOTHER completely different album cover. What’s going on here? I still haven’t found a HQ version of the iTunes album art, but I put up a little screen shot so you can get an idea
You owe it to yourself to pick up this album. Forget Madonna….if you want to see true “musical” evolution check out Thrice! I hope that this is the album that makes them a staple in the music industry. They deserve all the success that will hopefully come their way.

“Beggars” Changed Cover Art
Apparently, the album artwork for Thrice’s new album “Beggars” has been changed. You can see the new artwork below, as well as the old to compare. I’m not sure which one I like more! They’re both pretty awesome. I grew quite fond of the first one, but the second one is definitely starting to grow on me too. Boy, this band sure does love the water!

Ignorance Music Video Preview
Paramore just recently finished recording the music video for “Ignorance,” the first single off of their new album Brand New Eyes. Below you can check out a 25 second preview of the song. For those wondering, the song is allegedly about Hayley’s feeling’s toward the band, and these are not necessarily nice ones. From the preview I’m guessing the concept of the video is them being stuck in this little room and her confronting them about these feelings. Seems pretty cool so go ahead and take a look for yourself!
The video will premier this Wednesday, August 13 on all MTV mediums. Check back for the full video a little later in the week!
