i dont get any song recommendations in a couple of months, then suddenly people bombard me with songs.
jono recommended incubus. heard of them, but i wasnt that interested. listened to a couple of them. and its totally worth checking out. their most well-known song is 'drive'. good lyrics, catchy tune.
spuddy jin recommended justice. was like 'who?'. they have some pretty wack songs. he reckons the best one is DVNO. has to be the radio edit version. imagine a dj at the mixer, always distorting the music and editing the sample. its kinda like that. to really get into the music, you need to concentrate, otherwise its just irritating noise. but once you get into it, it gets a thumbs up.
next, daniel chan recommended several songs. two from relient k. songs are 'sadie hawkins dance' and 'who i am hates who ive been'. they're okay if you like bowling for soup, sum41, blink182 and stuff like that. but apparently they're new cd is way better. will have to go check that out.
another is flyleaf, with 'im so sick'. it sounds like ..oi shetz, i forgot the band. nevermind. its like an upbeat enya. sort of.
recently got into casting crowns and kutless. casting crowns gets the thubs up, but some of kutless' songs get repetitive with similar intros. the lyrics can be taken both ways as well. but they have some good songs like 'the feeling', 'smile', 'you', and 'hearts of the innocent'. i can give you a whole list. out of their 4 albums i'd probably only recommend one album's worth of songs.
switchfoot's alright. nothing wow. sounds similar to kutless, but more upbeat and less emo. if kutless was emo. which it isnt. if that makes sense.
im gonna go do laundry. i need clothes. =]
