Why?

Why do I put myself in an industry where I meet and know so many amazing people yet I only see you every few months?

Miss vodka tonics and music talk.

Drink ticket sharing with cute boys.

Reminiscing with new york cuties.

I love this.

I Feel Like..

I want this to be my outlet. I was watching the "World of Jenks" episode that featured VersaEmerge and I could totally relate to what Sierra was saying where as a girl, you experience all of these amazing things in this industry and scene but you can't tell anyone. So this is the place where I can be my true self and get excited and have it be like an outlet.

I've been in this mode since Warped 2010 I feel where I just don't care anymore. I do what I want, I do these interviews how I want to do it, I cover the people I feel like covering and I'm completely happy with what I've done so far.

Can't wait to see the future and be sure to keep on coming back to this blog. So excited to get the new direction rolling if you haven't realized it yet.

We Came As Romans? Who Would have known!

So the other night I was at the Circa Survive show here in Boston and the typical people that I know were there so it was fun! The thing that stuck out to me though and made me think of this band once again is this. There was this band, Animals As Leaders, who are purely instrumental. Being a girl who loves her lyrics, they just weren't my cup of tea but I was rooting for them considering they'll be first to play in the new Thursday/Underoath/Skylit Drive tour next year. I realized something at this point. At the end of their set which was six songs lasting about twenty five to thirty minutes, I realized that maybe I was wrong in hoping that they would become the next big thing but one band I realized would become huge after our first interview back in February was We Came As Romans.

I saw them play live that night and then again in June when I sat down with Josh that evening as well and then I caught a few minutes of their set again in August. Over just this past year, this band has sky rocketed and I couldn't be happier for them. Such a nice group of dudes and ones that actually care. I've met a million it seems like musicians over these past almost two years now and this band is still one of the stand outs for me. Unfortunately they don't have dates announced anywhere near me yet but hopefully I'll see them at an even bigger point. Just some thoughts and I think the perfect way to kick off the new direction of this blog. No more promoting my own stuff, just a general old blog of a girl who is living her dreams out every single day. Even if it means, I eat pasta for a meal some days and even though I'm still waiting tables. I'm doing it and I want this blog to be a good thing to look back on through it all!

Black Friday Must Shop: Love Before Glory!

Over time, I've had the opportunity to interview Jaxin Hall twice with his past band Of Mice&Men which he has now left but it's only to pursue what he's been wanting to do forever it seems. He's started Love Before Glory which is a clothing line that has sick deals today! Everything is at 25-40% but it's kind of a special Black Friday special as it lasts all weekend. So pick up your favorite designs! I know I will be-those skinny jeans look great. Too bad if they're meant to be for boys!

You Me At Six confirmed as main support for new Blink tour!

These are the kinds of days I wish I had my own website. Believe me, it's in the works!

As we come to the end of 2010, everyone is getting stoked for 2011 in the alternative scene. One of those bands that we'll be keeping an eye on through all of it is You Me At Six who have started announcing their touring plans and the most shocking? The band will be playing as direct support for Blink 182's announced UK tour dates this summer. In the US, this may seem crazy as the band had released just their first physical material earlier this year but back home the boys are one of the biggest alternative rock bands there are. The band is about to go out on a winter headlining tour in the UK and earlier this year they actually had a fully sold out tour with support coming from We The Kings and Forever The Sickest Kids!

I've watched this band grow back here in the US and actually had the chance to sit down with Josh and Max from the band at Warped Tour this summer! This summer they played the Altec Lansing stage and killed it every day surrounding themselves in a stage line up that included bands like Set Your Goals, Four Year Strong, Attack Attack and Breathe Carolina. They are one of the bands that is probably the most surprising and make for an incredibly real interview which can be found here!

The band plans to be back in the new year and hopefully for longer this time around. Considering how music saturated we are, this band is definitely something different and show it if you really look into it. Josh who actually does lead vocals for the band was recently featured on "Fuck" by Bring Me The Horizon and the band has actually started to include screams in their own tracks as well!

New Video: "Right Girl" The Maine!

Recently, for Music Remedy I sat down with John O from the Maine during the Harmony tour as in less then a week ago and he told me about the new music video the band was about to debut:

"I’m really excited for you to see it because it’s definitely an interesting idea and it was just kind of a spur of the moment thing. We just threw it together. Doesn’t necessarily pertain to the song which I like a lot. It doesn’t have really anything to do with the song and once you see it, hopefully you’ll see why we had so much fun but we shot it in Arizona and it was just homies (laughs). It was awesome!"

Check out the definitely interesting video below and check out our third interview with The Maine here! We've been lucky enough to continuely catch up and keep up with the band for about a year now and hope to be able to continue to do so in the future!

New Band: Scattered Trees

So normally, especially when tired, sometimes I'll just click delete and delete and delete but today I luckily took a chance on a band called Scattered Trees and their first single is up in "Love and Leave". Check it out asap and we'll definitey be keeping in touch about this band. So talented, check them out!
