It's a cactuar.

I found a new band on the iTMS that I really liked called Architecture in Helsinki. So I bought In Case We Die, and it's really good. So scattered though, it's not like an album, more like a collection of good songs. An 8-person band with lots of variety in sound, you should check them out!

Are New Pornographers or Shout Out Louds emo?

Ummmmm, The New Pornographers I would probably classify as suck. Because they suck.

Get it?

Uh what are you thinking?!?! The New Pornograhpers are amazing, and they are definitely power-pop!

I saw As Cities Burn, Gym Class Heroes, He Is Legend, and Emery. Wow. That show was smurfing awesome. As Cities Burn impressed me a lot. They re-minded me of a harder UnderOath without synths. Gym Class Heroes is a band that EVERY SINGLE indie rap, indie rock, and emo fan must hear. They use all natural instruments (read: electric guitar and bass and a drum set) to create rap music. The lyrics are sooooo good. He Is Legend and Emery I should not have to say anything about. He Is Legend played a strange sort of new breakdown at the end of I Am Hollywood that was actually awesome. My only complaint is that they did not play Do You Think I'm Pretty but whatever. Both Emery and He Is Legend rocked hard as ever, so it was all good.

I was in the proverbial dog house for some grade related issues, so I had to go home early, but I caught the start of Emery's set. They were very energetic on stage. Not as energetic as He Is Legend, but not bad. I liked their live stuff a lot more then the studio stuff I have of theirs. Also, strangely enough, there wasn't much of a pit for Emery. He Is Legend, on the other hand, had a huge huge huge hardcore pit in the middle, and a good ole mosh pit in the front.

God, it was such an incredible show.

Last night I saw Lovedrug, Gatsby's American Dream, Matchbook Romance, and Armor for Sleep. Not a bad show! We came at like 6:40 thinking that even though the doors opened at 6:30, the show wouldn't start until 7ish. Well, Gatsby's American Dream was already halfway through their set! What we saw though was really good. The vocalist really likes to have fun, and they were exciting to watch. Next was Lovedrug, the band I came for. They were AMAZING of course, but not as good as the last time I saw them. The venue is too big for a band like Lovedrug. Because of the nature of their music, they were not much of a crowd favorite, but they play so well together, very good sound, that I think they were the best of the night.
I didn't see much of Armor For Sleep, but my friend said they were amazing. He came for them, and was very impressed. Matchbook Romance played next. They played well, with so much intensity, it was great. But their music kinda sucks: bad lyrics, repetitive sounds, they sound very generic at times. Still, they played well.

You should have stayed for Armor. They were really good live when I saw them.

I stayed, I was just sitting down over in a corner. We stood up occasionally, but I wasn't really into it. Lovedrug was draining, as sad as that sounds.


But ok, look at this lineup the first 2 weeks of December:
www.cincinnatishows.com

2 - Motion City Soundtrack, Rise Against (great live), and unfortunately Coheed

7 - From Autumn To Ashes + EMERY

8 - Norma Jean, As I Lay Dying

10 - Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein

and later...

17 - All American Rejects


So if I miraculously come up with $125 to be able to go to all of these, I will be deaf by Christmas!

I will probably only go to the Norma Jean and As I Lay Dying show because we already have tickets, and I'd go to see Emery and FATA again, but a back-to-back would not be allowed by my parents. Oh well, at least Cincinnati gets some decent bands to visit. Unfortunately they are all at the same time

LET'S HEAR IT FOR EMO !!

yeah. If I were still playing JV, I would come down with a certain 'Illness' or perhaps have some 'obligations,' but I'm currently one of three star players so I can't really skip.

They aren't touring really, there doing 6 charity shows. It's 12 dollars for tickets, and all money made go to different charities for each show. They chose 6 of their favorite venues to play at, and RocketTown was one of them. I'm so psyched.

I think they are going into the studio after Christmas.
