Give Italy a Chance!!!
August 28th 2008 18:14
First off I have to say that many people, including friends of mine, are unaware of the talent pool outside of the USA. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the great American bands, but it's important to venture outside of the US. There is a country with both great sceneries, architecture, and music...Italy!!! One of my recent favorite bands would be LaCuna Coil. I first saw them live at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA in May 2004 and loved them ever since. This gothic band features two lead singers, a guy and a girl. It's rare to see bands with two lead singers instead of a lead singer and backup singers. The best comparison I can come up with is they are like a harder core and darker Evanesscence.
LaCuna Coil is not only known for their sounds, but the energy they put into their shows is astounding. You can tell that they are there for the audience and not simply for the money. They have their own style without being over the top.
Their lyrics and songs do not reflect the typical angry gothic music that most would come across nowadays. The song lyrics can relate to anyone's life. The one song that most may recognize thanks to MT2's Headbangers Ball is "Heaven's a Lie." This song relates to people's destinies, and that maybe you were not destined to do what you thought you were to do. It also suggests opening your mind up to other options and to think outside of the box when it comes to what to do for careers and hobbies.
Anyone who hasn't heard of this band should check it out. They are truly awesome and worth checking out. Thank you for reading and any comments are appreciated.

Gothic Opera
July 21st 2008 03:12
I know there are probably not many opera fans out there, but there are many gothic rock fans. What happens when you combine both gothic rock with an opera singer...you get the original Nightwish. When I first tell my friends about this, their reaction is what I expect; a questionable what followed by please explain. The combination may not sound very sufficient, but it does work.
Think about what the sound of the opera will do, take words and phrases to a deeper level of your soul with the depth and darkness of the sound. The sound of gothic rock is also dark and mysterious, so it's no wonder that someone hasn't thought of this sooner. Both sounds blend very well together so the listener does not hear a break in the sound[ Click here to read more ]

Busy Times
July 21st 2008 02:55
I know I haven't been keeping up with this blog. I told myself when I first started that I would blog everyday and look what has happened. These next two weeks will be difficult for me to blog often because I will be in a moving transition. I am still new to this site so if someone wouldn't mind mentoring me in the near future I would greatly appreciate it. I hope everyone's weekend is going well. Thanks for reading my blog.

Ten Grand Leg...Hard Plus Soft
July 4th 2008 00:34
Ten Grand Leg is a three-person band with a huge sound out of the Greenville, SC area. Greenville is not known for producing good music, just the few bands that perform in the usual coffee houses. Ten Grand Leg excels the typical band by adding in the different octaves to each song similar to an Alice in Chains effect. Their music is both angry and peaceful depending on the song. With just the few selected songs on myspace Really Long Link TGL illustrates their diversity with songs such as “Craving,” “Brother,” and “I Miss You.” “Craving” demonstrates the band’s softer and sensual side by bringing in the jazzy undertones along with the rhythm and soothing vocals. The lyrics get right to the point of what “Craving” is about, but the words flow along with the sound. “Fairweather Friend” is on the other end of the mood spectrum, anger and betrayal. The lyrics can hit home with anyone who had a so-called friend. Ten Grand Leg’s music is great to exercise, jam out in the car, chill out with friends or along, and would make a great addition to Guitar Hero. They have many influences, but maintain their own unique sound.

Does Originality Exist?
June 29th 2008 04:28
When it comes to many things, fashion, movies, hobbies, music, everyone is striving to be original. Many would probably think that the music industry is definitely lacking in originality...or is it. I have to admit that there are so many new bands that come out each day and many of them lack intelligence and meaning to their songs. Most lack originality, but it is a challenge these days to be completely original. All bands, in some way or another, have been influenced by previous bands, and those bands were influenced by previous bands, and the chain keeps going. The definition of original is fresh, new, arising independently, inventive; most music does not possess any of these definitions. I know someone could argue that today's punk music is very original, but the sound is influenced by the underground punk in the late 80's early 90's. Have you ever listened to the radio and hear two different songs by two different bands, yet you swear that it's the same band playing those two songs? I know there are times that it is hard to differentiate two bands because their supposed unique sounds are very much alike one another.
There are quite a few bands that have unique characteristics to them, but are still products of influential bands born into the exponential growth of rock.

Blogging for Music
June 28th 2008 03:45
Hi and welcome to my blog. I am very new at this so feedback and structured criticism is greatly appreciated. While exploring orble.com, I've noticed that there are several inactive music blogs. No wonder they're inactive, they all focus on one genre of music or are off topic. I want to focus my blog solely on music and music critique. I am very passionate about music and enjoy a wide variety. I would like to share my opinions and discoveries. Thank you for visiting my music blog.
