Juss Russ.

I'm going to need Usher and Chris Brown to just step aside, because I found someone new and better. Just saying!



Name: Juss Russ
Genres: R&B/Rap/Hip Hop
Where to find him:

You can also find him on http://www.emusic.com/listen/ but you'll have to search him yourself, because the link on his page didn't work.

But anyway, this guy is insane. That's right. Insane + bolded letters. That's how good he is. I mean, come on, I told Usher and Chris Brown to step aside! You know this kid ain't playing. 

I was really, very not excited to have to listen and write this. I honestly cannot stand to listen to rap music. It annoys the hell out of me. I find it pointless and mind numbing. And I'm not saying Juss Russ's music is super meaningful and holds the key to happiness in life, but it made me want to listen.

And isn't that truly the first purpose of music? To make you listen?

Juss Russ's voice is sent from the heavens, no lie. I'm really mad right now actually, because I can't listen to more of it. My Internet is being extremely sketchy, and normally when it's like this, I do a post over something else, but not a review. But I want everyone to know this guy's name. Juss Russ is amazing. 

Go listen. Right now. Especially if you love R&B/rap/hip hop, because you'll find a new obsession. And not just because he's extremely attractive.

Check It Out 3.

You know, I'm not particularly feeling a full on post tonight. I'm not sure why.

Life has been a little stressful lately, and I'm just really not feeling like reviewing a band. I mean, who am I to decide how great a band really is?

Just not really in that kind of mood and I am in that kind of mood, you know?

You know.

So anyways, I figured I would just give some suggestions. I have Pandora on my iPhone - should kiss whoever created that - and I really want to suggest some songs. So here we go...

  1. Almost Lover by Fine Frenzy - Found this song on my NeverShoutNever Radio Station. Ha. So yea, anyway, this song just spoke to my heart. It really just spoke what I've been going through and I was brought to tears.
  2. A Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope - Once again, NeverShoutNever Radio... I knew this song before though. I love this song. It's such an amazing heartfelt love song.
  3. Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths - Found on The Cure Radio Station. I was really hoping to hear some of their music. I really fell for this one. Just listen. It's great.
  4. She's Killing Me by A Rocket to the Moon - NSN Radio. I fell in love with this song, just because it describes my relationship with someone. I feel like it will to a lot of people.
  5. Sand In Your Shoes by This Providence - I feel like this one came on the Go Radio Station. But this one is just a chill song. It'll mellow you out.
Check these songs out. If you have Pandora, make a station from them. I highly suggest it.

The Queen's Revenants.

Members of the royal court grace I Can Music tonight.



Name: The Queen's Revenants
Genres: Indie/Alternative
Where to find them:

That's all. Ha. But that's okay, because that's the place to listen right?

Okay, so this band I like for several reasons. Probably, most likely will not be writing about most of them, because I'm writing this as my parents are talking loudly, but I'll do my best.

So first reason to like them is they sound foreign. But they aren't. They're from Wisconsin. I guess maybe it's the accent up there, but the lead singer's voice just sounds European. And I like it. His voice is raspy, and warm. Your ears are pulled into listening to their music.

Second, I love the instrumental. They have such diverse talents. The first song you'll listen to (Drive Away) is slow, and more somber. Then the second song (Hey Marigold) is more upbeat and has a happier tone. Diversity is great. No one really cares about those bands that always whine or are always happy. We all need the in between, and The Queen's Revenants are a great example.

So check out their PureVolume profile (:
You'll be satisfied.

Interfate.

Masters of balance were found tonight.



Name: Interfate
Genres: Rock/Grunge
Where to find them:

Okay, so masters of balance. Wondering how right? Well listen. To me, and their music, but yes, listen. They have successfully and artfully master rock and screamo combined together. There isn't so much screaming that you give up listening, and they scream in a way that is still understandable, so it doesn't just sound like globbidity-goop.

Also, their guitarist? Oh my... we had a discussion at supper tonight, about if I was president. Well, this kid would be my guitarist, and we would all come together and chill while listening to him play. Their guitarist is sick. I mean, insanely great. I was very impressed, on so many different levels.

All in all, this is a great band, even if you don't particularly dig screamers, because like I said, it's artfully done. Everything is balanced out to perfection.





Side notes -
  1. Check out the new background and static page buttons. Killer right? Martin and I worked hard. Applause for Martin.
  2. Be watching for a post about following the blog and getting some free music. I'm working on it, and I'm close to being ready to post!
  3. I hope y'all are all really enjoying the bands that I'm posting about. We've reached over 600 page views in less than a month, and that is awesome. So thank you guys. The bands I post over are hard workers that deserve this recognition. They deserve the acknowledgement I'm trying to give.
  4. This post will cover today (Friday) as well as tomorrow (Saturday...) for some reasons... Tomorrow I'll be dancing the night away at prom, so no post! But that's okay, because we're all going to be busy obsessing over Interfate right? Knew it. That's okay. Haha. We'll be back on track on Sunday though!
Thanks guys!
