Recently, I've not wanted to review any records that I would consider "bad". Yes, I have feelings on the issue, and yes, I can be pretty opinionated at times, but I usually don't like to put it out there unless its something I really feel the general public needs to know. In the case of music, I like to try and let people know about how good or bad a record is before they jump out and buy it. This time, I really felt strongly enough about my opinions that I needed to share it. Again, this is only how I view the band and the subsequent record they just released. So now, with that long-winded explanation behind me, Paramore's new self-titled record.
I've been a pretty big fan of Fall Out Boy for a while. Yes, go ahead and judge me. I was probably just as surprised and excited as the average fan when the band announced their return. I found it quite hilarious too that Pete Wentz had an interview the day before the announcement, and he said in that interview the reunion would never happen. Nevertheless, the band has returned with their fifth album, after a lengthy hiatus. I knew there'd be some changes, mainly because of how different and (in my opinion) mature the Folie A Deux album was.
So I've been sitting on this duo for a while, and tracking their songs on Facebook as they've kind of erupted. Deap Vally is a new two-piece rock/grunge outfit out of LA, starting in 2011. I discovered them through Buzz Bands LA, which you should definitely check out if you want to be familiar on any of the up and comers out of LA. I hate that the first record we have from them is just an EP because I think there's so much potential with these two girls. Four tracks in I just want more from them. But Get Deap! is what we've got, and I'll take it over nothing.
