It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long since Aqualung’s latest album, “Memory Man” which you can hear a track from in my latest Aqualung post, or on the mixtape.
Aqualung’s new disc arrives on October 7, and is a compilation of new songs, old songs…
Copeland is coming out with a new album, “You Are My Sunshine” and they just put up a track off that disc on their MySpace page. It’s amazing. It’s called “The Grey Man.” Go check it out.
I also just found out they’re putting out a DVD with the new disc!
It’s finally happened. Digital music has finally become “mainstream.” Lookout Apple! Myspace signed a deal with Warner Music Group, Sony BMG, the Universal Music Group, and most likely EMI will soon join the ranks.

None of which I like (I happened to mostly hate 80’s art of any kind); but that’s ok…because I’m not in the band.
Anberlin keeps pumping out the music. Their new Album, “New Surrender” arrives September 30th. While I’m excited to hear it, I’m a bit worried for a few reasons.
1) They are being produced by Neal Avron (Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, New Found Glory). All of those bands I don’t like, and none of them really fit with Anberlin’s sound, in my opinion. That doesn’t mean they’ll …
I’m sure bands hate it when the first thing you comment on is how amazing the lead vocalist’s voice is; but this is one damn good voice. Amazing falsetto. Anyhow, what’s a good voice without good music? Deas Vail have a great thing going for such a young band. They have only made one full-length album so far, entitled “All the Houses Look the Same” and just recently released an EP entitled “White Lights” …
