come across new AND good music. So I just thought i would share a few
items of interest (well, my interest anyway).
I picked up and album a couple days ago by a band called MadLove. I
just kind of happened upon them. So far i am really digging the music
a lot! The vocals take a little getting used to, for me at least.
Mostly female vocals that vaguely remind me of Bjork and something
else i cant quite put my brain finger on. She can really belt it out
and gets some seriously clear notes (unlike Bjork who i find to be
mostly unintelligible).
All in all, so far its one of those albums for me that i have been
listening to straight for 2 days in a row. So, its pretty good. I
find it very challenging musically, it makes me think "Oh! thats
neat! i wish i had thought of that!".
So here is a link to their iTunes page..

Check out tracks 3 and 8 for sure, those are the ones i am the most
stuck on.

Next up is The Company Band. Basically its one of those rock super
groups. Fronted by Clutch's Neil Fallon you cant really go wrong here
(unless it was him doing show-tunes, which may have its own humorous
value). Anyway, this album kicks you in the face, in that wonderful
Rock & Roll way. They put out a 4 song EP last year - http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sign-here-here-here/id272048155
- that really hammers out the idea of the band really well. Pick it
up and give it a listen. Now, if you want the real deal. I suggest
you grab up the full length album that came out last month - http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-company-band/id333396596
- it is well worth the listen if you value rock music.

Thats about it for now. However, i am eagerly awaiting the arrival of
the latest Dillinger Escape Plan album titled Option Paralysis with an
apparent release date of March 23. I got a feeling its gonna be some
really heavy shit. If you haven't heard them before, i would suggest
- http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ire-works/id265229827 - first
followed by - http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/miss-machine/id65885064
- to get you started and up to date with the bands current line up.
I suppose that is all for now.
