Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is an amazing singer to have started her career at the age of 14. She got her start as a songwriter moving to nashville, tennessee. Now 18 her self titled album has gotten her nominated for a grammy for best new artist. Her songs “Our Song” and “Teardrops on My Guitar” are truly amazing her voice is soft and sweet. I must say im not usually a big fan of country music but she is absolutely an exception in my book. “Our Song” is a song that hits the heart of probably every girl whether she be single remembering an old relationship or if she has a current bf. I recommend downloading the songs on itunes or buying her cd. I can’t wait to see what Taylor has up her sleeves next.
Drive Like Carson!!
Drive Like Carson is a up and coming band from boston, they are still unsigned but i don’t think for very long. They have a pop/punk sound great guitar and drums and some good vocals. You can buy their songs on itunes or just listen to them on their myspace. They have two brand new songs “Change Your Angle” and “Living Big”, some of their other songs are “10 4″ and “Hung Up”. It shouldn’t take long for DLC to make it big the lyrics and sounds are amazing so hopefully these guys get signed soon. The band is great and is made up of the talents from Erick Brennan, Mike Cioffi, Gary Cioffi, Torre Cioffi, and Paul Peters.(Shown below)

Some personal favs…
So right now some of my favorite bands are, All Time Low and Mayday Parade. These bands who aren’t very well known for the moment i foresee will be making it big on the music scene soon.
All Time Low is a Pop/Punk band from Maryland, ATL consists of 4 members, Alex, Rian, Jack, and Zack(Shown below). These four sexy guys come together to make some of the best music i have heard in a while. Their new cd “So Wrong, It’s Right” features some amazing songs like, “Dear Maria, Count Me In”, “Six Feet Under The Sun”, and my personal favorite “Remembering Sunday”. ATL is currently on tour, you can find their tour info on their myspace. I strongly recommend this band if you are into the whole pop/punk music, even if your not just give them a listen you might just be surprised.

Mayday Parade is an amazing rock/indie band from Florida. They are currently touring with ATL and soon with Emery, you can find tour info here. This band is the master creation from the minds of Derek Sanders, Jeremy Lenzo, Alex Garcia, Brooks Betts, and Jake Bundrick(Shown below). The band has a a new cd titled “A Lesson in Romantics” with the amazing songs, “Black Cat”, “When I Get Home You’re So Dead”(the redone version), and “Miserable at Best”. The songs are addictive and you want to put them on repeat for way to long. I see some amazing things in the future for this band.

Artists are making a comeback!
Thats right artists like Simple Plan, Ashlee Simpson, are making a comeback. Both took some time off for a while but are now back and possibly better than ever.
Simple Plan is back after a 2 year hiatus. With this comeback they bring us a brand new self titled album and new songs such as “When I’m Gone”(Shown below). This new song is very good i must say the video is interesting showing us the new hairstyle of lead singer Pierre Bouvier.(Show below)
(Wow Pierre you’ve changed ;p)
I expect very good things to come out of this new album. Hopefully a new tour is in the works. I will keep updating as i find out new songs and videos from the band. I will be getting the cd the day it comes out so should be soon ^-^.
Ashlee Simpson is also back on the rise after taking a year off to preform in england’s Broadway version of Chicago. She took the offer after all of the lip-syncing drama the past year. Ashlee proved not only she could preform without lip-syncing but that she was amazing to boot. Not to mention she has captured the heart of the Fall Out Boy’s sexy Pete Wentz, lets hope this relationship lasts longer than her others.
We should expect to see Ashlee’s new cd titled “Bittersweet World” on sale sometime in late February to early March. The cd includes the song “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)”(shown below) which the video for it is now on TRL so if you like it go vote! I will try and get this cd as soon as i can it looks great and i have a ton of respect for her as an artist.
A little info..
Heres a little info on what you might be seeing on my blog for the next few weeks. Reviews on new cd’s by our beloved artists, some recommendations on some new bands or singers. Just note that my taste in music is generally rock and not rap i will try to incorporate some rap into here but there is no guarantees. The blog will be kinda bland for a while but i will design some things for it and spice it up as i go. I am sorry for any grammar or spelling errors i might do in this blog, i would rather type what i feel and not care about that stuff. I have spell check so that should help a little bit.
A little info on myself is that i am of course female, im 17 almost 18, i don’t know the most stuff about music. Like who was the first person to ever make music. I will say music saved me from a really dark time in my life and without it i might not be sitting here typing this. I am also in high school but im also in college at the same time, i am also in my local states playhouse version of high school musical, so I may not be on a ton to update this but i will try my best.
