"Higher than Heaven, Still Blacker than Hell" (EP)

I often thought that if I was really that motivated to start a band or join one it would sound exactly like The FountNHead. They are everything I would want my band to be if I was actually in one. They simply ooze the familiar sound of awesome bands like Linkin Park, Plain White T's, P.O.D., Limp Bizkit & Rage Against the Machine. And not to mention a very strong stage presence from the lead-female rap vocals, Jewels. From her I get a Fefe Dobson vibe.

The FountNHead is a 5-peice band coming all the way from Atlanta. As you know Atlanta doesn't really have a huge rock scene going on. It’s heavily dominated by Hip-Hop, Rap, R&B & most commercial pop music out today. The FountNHead sound is mix of Rock, Punk & Hip-Hop. But it's an awesome sound. It’s not like one genre is more pronounced than the other. No, it actually is even in sound quality of the two genres. Just listen to their EP "Higher than Heaven, Still Blacker than Hell" out now. A 4 track EP starting it off with their most popular single "As A Skunk." This song is the most up tempo out of all 4 tracks on the EP. It is then followed by songs like "Bang Bang Bang", Trippin" and "Free and Flowing." as you listen to it you notice the tempo of each song slows down but not as dramatic as you would think.

So far The FountNHead has received so much press and have gotten a lot of positive reviews as well as a growing fan base. The FountNHead have been through it all musically and mentally. They refuse to follow the status quo in music. They will continue to be aware of their humble yet tumultuous journey of their own individual selves and as a band a unit a family.

ECHOES THE FALL

Echoes the Fall an awesome rock band hailing all the way from Phoenix, AZ and has undoubtedly left there mark not only in their great home state but also in the music community as a whole.

I first caught wind of the song "This is not Goodbye" from there self-titled EP that was released in July 2011. There are also three more track on the EP (a total of 4) songs "Because of You", "Start Over Again" and "Burn It Down". I must say as I'm listening to this EP they have the same drive and force from such bands as P.O.D., Linkin Park, SevenDust and Chevelle. And I love those bands so you already know that I am liking this band right of the bat from their first song off the EP.

Echoes The Fall released a full-lenght album 2009 "Bloodline" with the former frontman for the band David Mackey who recently left the band in June 2011. Mackey has been with Echoes The Fall for 15 years, but don't worry the decision was made on good terms all around. With that said having acquired Jeromy Moorehead (former member of "One Minute Halo") things are already off to a good start.

Echoes The Fall are Jeromy Moorehead (Vocals) Mike Gable (Guitar) Trevor Keeling (Bass) Myles Byrum (Guitar) Mitch Gable (Drums) you can now catch them on tour w/ 10 Years across the U.S. from July to August {ETF}. Here are other site to check them out at and listen to their music, trust me you will not be disappointed!!!

EP NOW AVALIABLE ON ITUNES.

A THOUSAND SUNS - LINKIN PARK

I guess you can say the are now former nu-metal genre band. Since they have accomplished what they wanted to do in terms of a new sound for the band. The main band’s songwriter Mike Shinoda totally did a 360 with this new record because it doesn’t sound like their previous albums (Minutes to Midnight, Meteora and Hybrid Theory).
I am glad that this album came out sounding different from the last couple of albums they’ve put out. It shows that they are ready to try something new and not be defined and confined to a particular sound.
I give it :10 (Based on a scale from 1-10, 1 being the lowest 10 being the highest)
