We’ve all done it. We’ve picked our favorite bands and imagined what it would be like if they went on tour together. You imagine that perfect concert with you in the front row reaching out to each band. So who would you put in that perfect line up? Leave a comment picking out your perfect line up for a concert. Have an opener, 3 middle bands, and the closer. Also title your tour. Maybe you want an all female line up, maybe you want the line up that will leave you deaf for the next month, or maybe you want that mix of getting you pumped and relaxing you. Here is my line up.
Opener- The Maddigans
2nd- We Are the In Crowd
3rd- Count Me In
4th- Hey Monday
Last- All Time Low
Tour Title: The Underground Anthem Tour

Hello Ramona
Hello Ramona!! I’m defiantly thinking about saying hi to these guys personally. Not only do they rock out loud but they are pretty cute. They are apart of the battle of the bands. So be sure to vote!! This band sports a nice even sound with simple music to back it up. I’m in favor of the acoustic verse though. They have a slower pace to them. So the acoustic vocals just seem to flow better because of the lighter tone. They have a very playful nature in the lyrics and the tone of the vocals. I love it. They do have a sick cover of Brittney Spears’ Hold It against Me. I prefer their version. The vocals are my favorite part. It’s a softer vocal than normal but I feel like that’s where they stand out. Keep running with it guys. I’m hoping to see you guys at Warp Tour this year.

Hello Ramona- This group of guys from the Quad Cities, Iowa, have a great sound that really pumps you up. Their songs start off strong and keep you going through the whole thing. That being said, I don’t feel like the vocals are as strong as they could be. I feel like they could use a little work with just the sound and projecting more. It can be a little hard to hear on some of the songs. I really think this band is going to do very well, though. They’re just starting out. They have a good sound that separates them from the rest and with the right publicity, they should get on some pretty amazing tours. Check them out on Myspace, Twitter, and Facebook. Links to these sites will be at the bottom of this review.

RunnerRunner
Runner Runner- These guys have a perfect mix of techno and pop. I feel like they have a song for every mood. I constantly throw them on when I’m diving around or going on a road trip because they keep you pumped and help the time just fly by. My favorite songs to put on repeat are So Obvious and Hey Alli. They actually have the music video for Hey Alli up, and it’s a must see. The video adds a whole new image to the song. I highly suggest picking these guys up on itunes. They just had their new album hit stores and they are in need of our support to stay afloat in the music industry. These guys have been featured on MTV and never seem to disappoint. Their self titled album can be picked up on itunes for only $5.99. It’s not much money, and it’s worth every penny. Listen to them when you’re working on something or going for a long drive with friends.
-James
RunnerRunner is no new kid on the block. This band has been trying to hit the mainstream for awhile now. They were on MTV which is where I first heard of them. I love them. It’s a new age kind of pop-punk genre. These guys are working hard to promote their new album, RunnerRunner. I love the music the most. That’s weird because I’m normally all about lyrics and vocals but it’s the music that’s got me moving this time. My favorite song by them is a defantly tie. Hey Alli and She’s My Kinda Girl. I love these songs because its expresses what he really wants. That doesn’t happen a whole lot in male fronted bands. He’s telling you exactly what he wants in a girl. What I also love is the techno twist they have. It will keep you dancing long after the songs over. Go buy their new album and be part of the people that will be able to say…”I knew them when.”

I use to pride myself on how much music I had. I knew I didn’t have the biggest collection of songs but I’d been collecting them for about 7 years now. I had about 7,000 songs. Then, recently, they all became corrupt and unusable. I was upset for a while. I’m now staying positive and thinking of it as a fresh start. Being able to build from the ground up and learn from my mistakes. There were a lot of songs I didn’t even listen to anymore, I just had them to have them. I took my ipod and transferred the purchased items from it which was about 1000 songs. That’s a really great start. I’m just going to stay positive. To the readers, I want to know if you have any suggestions on what I should pick up and add to my new collections. Comment below and let me know.

So lately I’ve started paying attention to what I’m listening to. First off I’ve been listening to the two new singles Architects and Help Is On the Way from Rise Against. Their new album End Game hits stores March 15th. This will be a must buy for me because they are my all time favorite band. Next on the list is the band We Are the In Crowd and The Best Week Ever. These bands have a back and forth between a punk rock sounding female and male vocal. I am a big fan of We Are the In Crowd for their lyrics and the overall sound. I definitely listen to them when I’m driving around town with the windows down. They get me pumped and excited to go where ever I’m going. Next up is Panic! at the Disco’s single The Ballad of Mona Lisa. This is the single for their new album Vices $ Virtues which will be available March 22nd. The final thing I want to note is Runner Runner’s new album. These guys have an amazing sound that is under appreciated. They need fans help to stay alive in the music industry. I highly suggest everyone to go buy their new album not just because they need help from us as music lovers, but because it is an amazing album. Their new album is the kinda music I would bring on a road trip. It keeps spirits high and everyone starts singing.
That’s what Ive been listening to lately. There is plenty of other stuff in there, but those are just a few I felt needed recognition. Who have you been listening to lately? Leave a comment and let us know and as always, check out our reviews and let us know what you think.

Noctura is a female fronted rock band hailing from my very own Indianapolis. They are heavy rock with an emo twist. This band has a very dark feel to them but not in a bad way. Anybody that is a fan of Evanescence or Paramore is going to fall head over converse for these guys. Three members strong and heading for a record deal these guys are moving. Unfortunately I think this band is going to run into the same criticism that Cassidy Pope, from Hey Monday did. How close Mandy (Lead singer) sounds to Amy Lee. She has an incredible talent but it’s going to be a pretty close comparison. I’m not sure I can tell the difference between the two. However I love her vocals. The lyrics are what really get me though. She writes lyrics that make you want to cry and at the same time you know exactly what she is talking about. I can’t over how much the sound is similar. Noctura has also putting out entirely fan funded upcoming Debut album. I love this idea because it shows how important the fans truly are to them. My favorite song from the new album is Don’t Save Me. This song is the most like Evanescence. I like however. I’m all down for this band and I want them to succeed but I feel like they are going to have a harder time due to the sound similarities. So that why we as fans have to back them up and help them get going!!
-Janai
Nocturna is a band from Indianapolis, Indiana. They have a very strong female lead with a very good rock sound. They are working on releasing an album that is fan funded which is very unique way of putting an album and it definitely show the fans care. I really do like their sound and their lyrics are very well put. The problem I have with this band is they sound so much like Evanescence. I say this only because I feel like they are going to hit a wall of “they sound too much like another band”. They have a good sound but it isn’t unique enough to help them stand out among the crowd. With the music industry looking for new sounds every day, it’s becoming more and more difficult to get recognized. Having a fan funded album is a great start, and they really do sound great, but I feel like I could play Evanescence and not even notice the difference. There album is suppose to hit stores early 2011.

This is a thank you to all the artists out there. Thank you for putting a mood or feelings into something we can listen to when we feel happy or sad. You gave me something to listen to when I couldn’t find the words myself. I always took one night a month to just sit in my room and listen to my Ipod on shuffle. I didn’t skip a song or pick an artist. I just let the ipod go. I found it was a great way to relax and unwind from stress. Every singer and song writer helps someone in some way just by writing a song. Some songs have more meaning than others but some of the songs just help us get through the day. Music is the fuel that gets me through the day and I know I’m not the only one. Music is what I use to help bring back memories. I listen to First Date by Blink 182 and think of my first girlfriend, I listen to Everything by Michael Buble and I think of my family, and I listen to Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s and it reminds me of one of the greatest nights of my life. Music is a time capsule, a therapist, and and a stress reliever. Thank you to all the musicians out there. You don’t truly know how much you’ve helped people like me in this world just by doing what you’re good at. Thank you. How has music helped you out in life? What is music to you? Leave a comment and let us know. -James
