Monty Are I - Wall Of People (2006)

Getting right down to it, the biggest problem with the Stolen Transmission debut from Monty Are I is the lack of new songs. That new-car smell applies to CDs too, and those who enjoyed the band’s 8-song debut, The Red Shift, might not find Wall of People as appealing as first-time listeners. Six of the eleven songs are taken from The Red Shift and spruced up a bit before being slapped onto the new CD. While the band have changed their name from Monty's Fan Club to Monty to the current moniker, Monty Are I, their drive and determination remains intact, perhaps even refined as time has allowed them to mature a bit. They are consistently noted for an electric live show, but some complain they are not always up to par on CD. Wall of People combats that stereotype to some success, although a few holes in their recorded performance remain.

Attack! Attack! - Someday Came Suddenly (2008)

Attack! Attack! from Ohio, not to be confused with Attack! Attack! from the U.K (Why a U.K band stole another bands name is beyond me?) but anyways, onto they’re new album Someday Came Suddenly. When I heard about this album being released I jumped onto it because Attack! Attack! has been mentioned by a few people that I know. After learning this band was a “screamo” band It scared me, because I figured I would highly dislike them and piss a bunch of people off, It turned out to be a little better than I originally thought.
A band that delivers amazing instrumental breakdowns, and delivers on target emotion on almost every song. This band has its flaws, but makes up for them in other areas that most bands lack in. I do not think any song should be complete “screaming” and since a few of the songs on this album fall under that category it does kind of down the overall delivery of the songs. Screaming is to be used as a mixture, and when this band does that they do it well. Most of the songs on this album mixed much better than the two songs on Escape The Fate’s new album that did not mesh screaming with singing that well. This band has a lot of hype among my generation, a little more than I believe they should have, but not by much. The band delivers well and does what they set out to do.

Attack Attack! - Attack! EP (2008)

Attack Attack! have a little more to offer for those who are willing to invest their time in a heed (or five). While listening, some are stricken with songs that might feel more like they’re at a club than in the presence of their own speakers. But rest assured that this isn’t the case for the entire album. Lovely keyboard progressions (Caleb Shomo) are the instrumental frosting on the cake amongst the heavier heaves of the guitars and kit. Vocalist Austin Carlile shows that there’s more than one side to every singer (well, minus pop-princesses and boy bands).

William Control - Hate Culuture (2008)

William Control is the side project of post-hardcore band Aiden’s frontman William "wiL" Francis and from the outset I was imagining a very screamo-led record full of angst and hatred aimed at anyone who would listen. And I was half right.

The record is clearly influenced by the electronica sounds of David Bowie and Depeche Mode. wiL’s vocals are very enigmatic and a far cry from his wails on many of Aiden’s records. However, that been said, the cover of Cry little Sister for the film Lost Boys is nothing less than breathtaking - if anyone knows where I can get a copy… hit me up!

Anyway, back to this lovely new album; as it commences, as all great albums should, with a prologue; however, this one doesn’t exactly sell the record to the eager listener however telling them they will “shag” later on is always a good thing right?

Before Their Eyes is a five piece Christian hardcore/pop punk band straight out of Flag City USA, Findlay, Ohio. Not the typical chugga chugga, BTE has much more substance, melody and depth to their music. The boys (men) take passion into putting on an energetic, explosive live show that you won’t forget
