Switchfoot’s new album was supposed to have been released in August/September. Because they’re producing it on their own, and are dedicated to releasing their best album yet, it’s been pushed back several times, and the new release date is November 10. I’m saddened by this because it’s been three years since we’ve gotten a whole [...]

The Winter Sounds
It’s no secret my deep obsession love for my favorite bands, specifically Civil Twilight and Switchfoot. Well, my friend Michele happens to appreciate my obsession, as she is a total fangirl herself. Her band of choice? The Winter Sounds. After realizing her obsession for this band, I had a listen and liked what [...]

Mean Everything to Nothing
I’ve recently become a fan of the band Manchester Orchestra. I don’t know why I was never a fan before–maybe I just wasn’t ready. But about six weeks ago, I listened to their first full-length album I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child all the way through, and I was hooked. Like Snow Patrol’s Eyes [...]

Hysteria
Can I just tell you how EPIC this week has been musically? Oh. My. Gosh.
First, new music:
1. Civil Twilight announced the release date for both their new single and their new album. If you follow my blog, you’ll notice that my last post is about this very subject.
2. While they haven’t announced an exact date, [...]

It’s only love.
On April 28, it will have been a year since Civil Twilight opened for Switchfoot at The Orange Peel in Asheville, and my world was turned upside down. Okay, that’s a bit dramatic, but if you knew me at all last summer, you’ll also recognize that it’s not much of an exaggeration.
Admittedly, I [...]

The Black Ghosts
This isn’t technically new music, as the album was released in 2007, but it is new to me.
I’ve listened to the Twilight soundtrack a few times, but the album isn’t my favorite, overall. The one song (besides the Linkin Park and Muse songs I already loved), however, that I really love is the song “Full [...]

You’re patient with my impatience.
I’ve spent the morning listening to one album on repeat on my iPod. Surprisingly enough, it is not The Fray. Nope.
Check out The Autumn Film. The Onion said this: “Like a post-collegiate Fiona Apple jamming with Snow Patrol, The Autumn Film serves up a piano-drenched sincerity topped off with a voice that’s wise and heartbroken [...]

I really like Tuesdays.
Mostly because it’s the day that new music comes out! Today, it was The Fray’s self-titled album. I’ve already listened to the entire album three times, and of course hit repeat on various other tracks. For once, I didn’t preview the album online, although it was available. The last two new albums that I’ve bought [...]

A Plug for Fiction Family
I’m using my blog shamelessly to plug Jon Foreman’s newest side project, Fiction Family, which is a collaboration with Sean Watkins from Nickel Creek. The first single (“When She’s Near”) is spectacular, and the album will be released on January 20. Additionally, Fiction Family will be in Atlanta on January 29, so if you live near [...]
