The Blank Theory are a rock outfit out of Chicago and have worked with the likes of ex-Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger. These guys are definitely on the right track as ‘Addicted’ demonstrates. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Easy On Me’ is one of the best single tracks I’ve heard in a long time. Man, this is one catchy song. Production is great, lyrics are good, but that chorus is what really makes the track. This song was actually used in an episode of ‘Dawson’s Creek’ some time back. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Filter’ is somewhat hard to classify into a particular genre. It’s almost completely electronic, but the vocals are made for radio. Therefore it lands them in the ‘Pop’ genre. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Sentimental Lovely Day’, mmmm rock goodness. Power Pop with smooth as butter melodies. Yet another one of those tracks that you can sing along with. Has a fresh sound to it, but is still radio friendly. This is a good example of what is missing from most modern rock. Read the rest of this entry »

‘The Fallout’, the newest single from This Holiday Life, is a great lead-off single for their new album. The song is radio-friendly and memorable. It also has a distinct sound for these guys. Jangly guitars sitting atop a nice sycopated rhythm. Good lyrics as well. “Everyone falls apart sometimes” sings THL’s Scott Anderson. Read the rest of this entry »

The first thing that catches you about ‘The Way You Used To Feel’ will be the harmonies. It adds such a great blend to the vocals. Basically it’s a song about the trivialities of a relationship. Those things that seem to be either annoying or simply overlooked that somehow always seem to become important once the relationship is over. Things like “The way you never eat your pizza crust”. Another pop song that will have you singing along, Heth has managed to capture one of the more elusive facets of songwriting. He has captured a subject that almost everyone can relate to.

‘Trance 2000′ is a very nice club track that has enough melody to keep you focused on the music as much as you are on trying to hook up with the hottie you’re dancing with. Okay maybe not THAT focused, but pretty close. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Captivation’ is a solo guitar piece that immediately grabbed me because of the thick guitar chords employed in this piece. Then the melody began to really sink in and I was hooked. Just a stunning piece of music. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Everybody Wants’ is an interesting piece of electro-industrial rock. Underneath it’s experimental surface you’ll find a very hummable song that is surprisingly catchy. Everytime I listen to it, it gets better. Read the rest of this entry » |
