The almost epiphanic conclusion I've come to that it's time for me to take up electric guitar. Hard to explain how big and exciting a decision this is for me. I used to play saxophone, some years ago, but haven't picked it up since I graduated high school. Back when I started playing sax, my music world was very small. It consisted mostly of things that my mother listened to. In short, I had no music taste of my own yet. I listened to a lot of R&B and soul and generally wasn't into any recent pop or hip-hop or rock like my friends were. I listened to the music my mother grew up with, and I loved it, and that was good enough for me. Then I was introduced to the world of the rock sound in the 8th grade through just a few songs from Evanescence. …

Lately in My Music World VIII (intro)
Ago 12 2012, 18h42 por OnceNefarious
This new wave of music came from two major thoughts. First, that the awesome person who recommends a lot of my music introduced me to some city-pop and some 70s/80s j-pop/japanese pop artist. The second inspiration for some of the music flooding into my library is...

Creed "Human Clay" NYC Concert Review & Setlist
Abr 21 2012, 5h25 por DarkScimitar
First of all, Creed used to be one of my favorite bands a number of years ago, but then I kind of forgot about them. With their reunion and tours though, I've been getting back into them in a big way. That said, I was apprehensive about this show. "Human Clay" is easily my favorite album by them, and I had heard varying reports of past concerts of Creed's that didn't end too well. On top of that, the samples from the opening act (Eve to Adam) I heard didn't sound too good, so I was wary going in. Now that it's over, I'm happy to report that my fears were very much in pointless.
Eve to Adam was much better than I thought they would be and smelled very much of a band that is better live than in the studio. They had a lot of energy and though they were very cheesy at times (the singer actually shouted "Rock and Roll!" at one point. Seriously.), the majority of their performance was almost flawlessly executed. These guys definitely deserve some attention and the… -

Arkayan - Scarecrow [review]
Dez 7 2011, 12h12 por fabrykamagazine
Arkayan - Scarecrow |Arkayan, The Marsh Chapel Experiment EP, 2012|
This quite new Australian band established in 2009 may get thrust into the limelight of the prime time progressive rock scene thanks to ear-friendly compositions which do not lack hard rock guitar riffs.
After releasing Away From The World in 2010, the musicians of Arkayan have been working on new songs.
One of the new songs entitled "Scarecrow" will be put on The Marsh Chapel Experiment EP that is scheduled for release in January 2012.
"Scarecrow" begins with nice guitar sounds simultaneously accompanied by drums, bass and a second guitar. Then the vocals join in. There is unmistakable potential hidden in Jon Mazzardis' characteristic voice which can be compared to Scott Stapp (Creed) or Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), but he misses their accented "hoarseness" which is a plus in his favor. Jon proves he can sing in both low and high tones which add impact and clarity.

Top 20 Post-Grunge
Jun 23 2011, 6h02 por phsampaio
Vou aproveitar o espaço pra listar as 20 melhores bandas de Post-Grunge, na minha sincera opinião. É difícil classifica-las, porque há aquele desafio de mesclar o quão importante cada banda é, com o meu gosto pessoal. Por exemplo, Creed foi muito importante, eu reconheço, mas gosto mais de Smile Empty Soul, que não é muito conhecida. E no outro caso, eu gosto mais de Seether do que de Foo Fighters, acontece que eu acho Foo Fighters uma banda perfeita, tudo é perfeito, tem moral suficiente pra ser o número 1 da lista.
20. Sick Puppies
