Hed PE, Trapt, The Grammar Club

Hed PE is back again this year with their release of New World Orphans, their eighth upcoming studio album set to be released on January 13th. I got a taste of their newest song, "Renegades," and couldn't get enough. I really like the unique style that Hed PE has with their music.



Trapt has had some good success with their latest album, Only Through the Pain. When most people think of the album, many of them think of the son, "Who's Going Home With You Tonight?" I feel their latest single, however, deserves greater attention. It is called, "Contagious."



The Grammar Club never seems to disappoint me with their music. Their latest song, a version of "Red Cyclone," never fails to get me pumped up. Like always, they offer a free download of their song on their website.



I apologize for my absence recently. College started up and took all my time and attention. I appreciate all of the emails that I have still been receiving and I want to assure you that I read every single one of them. I have definitely been receiving some good content from up and coming bands which I really appreciate. I hope to place my favorites on the next few posts, so keep sending them in!

~Three New Songs and Two Cover Songs~

Today I've got four songs for you all. Two of them are new, while three of them are a little old. This first one is from trapt's new album. The song is entitled "Who's Going Home With You Tonight?"


This next song is from Rev Theory (formerly known as Revelation Theory). I did not like this song when I first heard it, but it grows on me more as I listen to it more often. This song is entitled "Hell Yeah"


This is another song off of Serj Tankian's (formally the lead singer for System of a Down) album. This song is their third single, entitled "Lie, lie, lie."


Cover Songs are opportunities to turn a good song into a great song, or just a new side of the song. Rasputina demonstrates this with their cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."


On a lighter note, cover songs can also give the opportunity to turn an absolutely horrible song into something fairly amusing. This is Rivethead's rendition of "Sexy Back."
