Filter, Vanderveen, Walls of Jericho, Rehab

I've got some great music for you all today. Most of the songs today are stuff that you have probably never heard before, as the bands either come from a foreign country or have a unique sound. I'll start today's post off with a band you have most likely heard of before. Filter just released their newest album. I was a little disappointed when I heard their song, "Soldiers of Misfortune," as I really did not like that song at all, but was sparked up again after hearing their next single, "What's Next," which is a lot darker than the previous song. Now I definitely want to hear the full album.



I came across this next band by complete accident. I was clicking around and all of a sudden I heard this song playing, and was instantly hooked. It has a nice sound to it and is catchy as well. These guys are up and coming. I tried to look up some more information on these guys but drew blanks everywhere I looked. This is my favorite song of theirs, "Weekend Full of Weekends."



This next band has been around for close to ten years. They have recently received a lot of attention for their song "Ember Drive," which features corey taylor, singer for slipknot and stone sour. I would consider this song a softer rock, though it has a unique sound to it that I almost feel guilty about saying it is soft rock.



This last band is probably one you have not heard before. They call themselves Rehab, and is a mix between southern rock and rap, forming a unique, almost amusing sound that I actually enjoy. The lyrics are pretty cool as well, definitely want to give this song a listen. This is the bartender song.

Rivethead, Stuck Mojo, Atreyu, Disturbed

Previously I featured a song from Rivethead that was an amusing cover of Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back." Today I will bring you a more serious song of theirs that I have been enjoying a lot recently. It is entitled "It," and can be found on their most recent album, "The 13th Step."



This next band is very unique. Stuck Mojo is a blend of three members from a metal background and one member from a prominently hip-hop background. They formed together in 1989 in an experiment to see if this rock-rap mix would be accepted by fans across the world. Eighteen years, six released albums, and many world tours later, Stuck Mojo has proven that rock and rap blend together well. Their most popular album, "Southern Born Killers," was their most popular album, as they released it for free for download on the internet. This is my favorite track from them, "The Sky is Falling."



Atreyu is a band that has not been previously featured here. They are probably most known for their single "Falling Down" which is being played by rock radio stations throughout the country. Instead of showing you something that you have probably heard before, I decided to bring you a different track off their most recent album. This track is entitled, "Slow Burn."


In honor of Disturbed's release of the Tuesday release of their latest album, Indestructible, I wanted to show you all my personal favorite song from the album. This is "The Curse."

Disturbed, The Killers, Rock Kills Kid, Faithless

I've got another great lineup of songs for you today. This first song is in honor of the release of Disturbed's new album, "Indestructible." This is their first album since their highly awarded 2005 album, "Ten Thousand Fists." The song that I will be showing you all is entitled "Divide." It is my favorite song on the album. I would definitely recommend this album to everyone. Though I do not think it is as good as their Ten Thousand Fists album, I have only listened through it a couple of times. I am sure with a couple more listens that it will easily become my new favorite album. I cannot wait to see these guys play at the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival in July / August.



This next song is a song that I did not like at first, but after a few listens it grew on me and now I really enjoy it. I love The Killers' style of music as it really is not like any other band and is genuinely unique. This is The Killers' single, "Tranquilize."



Rock Kills Kid is a band that is up and coming within the music scene. They currently have two albums out, but only one of their songs has ever reached the charts. It is from their latter, 2006 album, "Are You Nervous?" The song is called "Paralyzed."



The last song that I have for you all today is a song that is a little something "special." I would not consider it rock, but when I heard it I was in awe. I felt that it was worthy enough to be heard. It is nice to toss up the genre of music every once in a while as well. Let me know what you think of this song.
