Oven Fresh Music Tuesday (07/28/09)

Hello Again and welcome to another edition of Oven Fresh music Tuesday. Not A whole lot to look forward to this week but hopefully we can walk away with some good music. A brand new single by Thousand Foot Krutch is the highlight of the week along with a surprise new single from Panic! at the Disco. So Here We Go:

Albums:

Inward Eye - Throwing bricks instead of Kisses - This Album is a little different and that may be why I like it. Basically the only song to check out on this album is "Day After Day". It's a very catchy song. The rest is all hit and miss and nothing else really stands out but check out that song.

Memphis May Fire - Sleepwalking - A hardcore album. Usually I don't like hardcore but they mix enough melody in with it to catch my attention. I enjoyed the song "North Atlantic vs. North Carolina" a lot

Divine Heresy - Bringer of Plagues - Another Hardcore album. This has a speed metal sound to it but has some melody mixed in. I'm not strongly recommending this album at all but there is a little bit to it that is worth checking out. Try the track "Darkness Embedded"


Singles:

Stars of Track and Field - Racing Lights - This is a feel good song. A good song to listen to in the summer time. It's a little different than your usual catchy song but I recommend at least giving this one a try.

Panic! At The Disco - New Perspective - I was a little surprised to see that Panic had come out with a new single since I thought that this band was basically done for. But I'm glad they did because this is a really good single. Sounds a lot like their last album so If you were a fan of that then you will be a fan of this

Bowling For Soup - My Wena - If you ever want to be in a good mood just listen to this band. Nice punk/pop sound and always able to put a smile on your face. This is yet another great song by them and funny as hell too

Needtobreathe - Something Beautiful - This song is Something Beautiful. I love his voice and this band seems to always come out with beautiful melodies and ballads. This is a very good song you should check out.

Thousand Foot Krutch - Fire It Up - This is my highlight of the week. Another kick ass song by a band this is slowly becoming one of my favorite bands. You will be seeing this song high on my hard rock songs of the year countdown. Maybe it can make a good run towards the top five. This is an album I truly can't wait to purchase the day it comes out.

Oven Fresh New Music Tuesday!!! (7/21/09)

It's time once again to see all of the new music coming out this week. I didn't have much expectation going into this week but let's take a look at some good stuff this week had to offer.


Albums:
Civil Twilight - Civil Twilight - I'm only recommending this album because I really like the song "Next to Me". The rest of the album is pretty damn boring. But check out that track because it's a very solid track.

RX Bandits - Mandala - This album has a very unique sound to it. I guess I would consider it to be Ska-punk. I'm not sure how they classify this kind of music but I find myself enjoying it. If you want to hear something a little different then check out this album

Dope Stars Inc. - 21st Century Slave - Sounds like an electronic Hard Rock band. Very fun to listen to and I love the sound. You might be seeing them on my yearly countdown very soon. Check out the songs "21st Century slave" and "It's Today".

Modern Day Escape - House of Rats - This band has a little hint of emo to them. They mix some screaming with a little bit of punk sound to it. I really like the track "Corpse Masquerade"

Set Your Goals - This Will be The Death of Us - A Good punk Band. They have pretty catchy songs. Check out the track "Look Closer"

Lovehammers - Heavy Crown - I recommended the song "Guns" on an earlier post. This band has a very good Rock sound to them. I still think Guns is the best track but the release of this album provided some very good tracks like "Your Time, My Time" and "Neverfall"

Our Lady Peace - Burn Burn - I Feel like I haven't hear from this band in many many years. This is a pretty decent album. It's not as good as their older stuff but I really like the track "All YOu did was save my LIfe"


Singles:
Five For Fighting - Chances - If You are a fan of this band then you should be a fan of this song because it sounds just like a typical FVF song. It's not quite as catchy as their big hits but it's still catchy and worth a listen.

Drowning Pool - Shame - I can honestly say that I'm starting to like this band better with their new lead singer. I love his voice. This is a good hard rock song and it kinda sounds a little bit like old school Alice in Chains

Vertical Horizon - Save Me From Myself - Another old school band. I like this song but it is nothing amazing. If you want to check it out go ahead but it isn't going to blow you away or anything.

Five Finger Death Punch - Hard To See - Usually I don't like a lot of songs by this band. They always seem like they have potential to be good but come up a little short. Again, this is a good song so I'm recommending it but I'm just waiting for them to come out with a great song some time.


So that's it for this week. We saw the return of some old school bands like Vertical Horizon and Our Lady Peace. The Lovehammers new albums sounds great and I'm really liking the new Drowning Pool. Check back next week for more new music and keep checking back as i continually update my songs to listen to and my top song charts.
