Gotta love the Swedes and their music! Kamera has a sound that’s a bit addictive. Gosh, they’re just great! One of my favorite songs by them is “I’m Gonna Be Your Lover”. Lovely, but I can’t find it on youtube! Darn it.
Oh, Canada how I love thee. Your comedians are hilarious, your laws on gay marriage are totally ‘laxed and your Rock bands rock hard! I don’t why but Canada always gets it right when it comes to stuff like this! Must be because of the cold weather or something. I don’t know! Enough with all the “OMG I LOVE CANADA!!!” stuff, I don’t want another post like the Tiesto one. (Check it. I sound like some crazed fan!)
So the band that will be highlighted today is
Alexisonfire!
They have this post-punk-screamo sound. Good stuff. Check out one of my fav songs by these guys:
*Note. The video above is not the official vid. Still totally wacky though!
Look at his right hand! "Lift up your body and dance!!"
As long as I can remember there have been two genres of music that I have lovedOne being rock music, the other being electronica. The word Electronica of course is an umbrella term for music made, well, electronically. A few subgenres of electronica are Techno, Sown-Tempo, and my personal favorite-Trance.
Trance according to Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a nice article on trance. It’s got the history of it and all. But this isn’t just about trance-it’s about a trance god. Hahaha. Well, the god part might be a bit much but this man can perform miracles of sound.
I’m talking about Tiesto. Or DJ Tiesto if you must.
Anyways, the first time I heard him was about three years ago. I can’t remember the first song I heard by him or how i found him, but I’m hooked for life. Like seriously! Maybe it was this song:
Can you feel the energy? All those people dancing like zombies! Excuse me for making it seem like he is the best dj in the world because I know he isn’t. There are other djs that are totally awesome like Armin Van Buren and ATB, but to me Tiesto is on top.
I’m going to be starting up a new series on here. I’ll be showcasing some of my favorite bands! I’m going to keep the bands as non-mainstream as I can. Bands that get played on the radio don’t need as much exposure as less known bands. Though I’m sure that the bands I post here are going to be known.
The first band that I would like to highlight is Park. They hail from Springfield,Illinois.
Here they are:
