Destins Tide.

Okay, so I am happy to say that we are finally back, continuing to share our love for music! I really do apologize for going missing for so long, but technology... what are we going to do with it?

Name: Destins Tide
Genres: PowerPop/Pop Punk/Rock
Where to find them:

• PureVolume -  http://www.purevolume.com/DestinsTideofficial  
• MySpace -  http://www.myspace.com/breathenc 
• Facebook -  http://www.facebook.com/destinstide 

Alright, so coming back with a bang I must say because Destins Tide is pretty great. Seriously, from vocals to instrumental to lyrics... they are on point with it all. Everything meshes together beautifully in a way that some bands fail to do. Their sound is that of one that is original, yet familiar, so you feel comfortable listening to them. Your ears aren't straining to decide if they like what they hear or not, because it's not a sound that is so out there and strange.


The light screaming in the songs is a nice touch as well. It's not too much to where an average listener would be turned off, but it's just enough for a screamo-fanatic would be disappointed. Music is about a careful balance, and Destins Tide has it perfectly figured out for themselves. 


Go to their PureVolume page (after liking them on Facebook of course) and download their two free downloads as well. 
Good stuff they have. The ones that are free are my personal favorites.

Final Round.

Creativity isn't here for an intro for these guys... I'm not really sure why. I suppose it's because there is no comparison. Final Round is Final Round and no one else. They make a category of their own.

Besides, since when is flash actual talent?

Name: Final Round

Isn't that a beautiful site when bands have lots of places to find them?

I think so.

Okay, so these guys just really have a style that is eclectic to their own. As I listen more and more, each song is more distinct and individual from the one before. We all know of those bands that just kind of blend together, and none of their songs sound different from the one before. Final Round doesn't fall under this category.

I'm not saying that they may not blend into another band. So far I have not found anything super "distinct" to who they are. In fact that sound like a typical band that you would find on Warped Tour. (I'm so smart, because they did play on Warped Tour in '06 in Detroit. Big shock.) I will say that the guitarist deserves extra kudos + specific calling out. As we all know, I'm not super musically inclined, just super in love with music. So I'm not going to be able to give you the right terms for this. But this guys playing is amazing. My ears are impressed. They apparently don't want me to know his name, but great job man. Impressive stuff.

So yes, they have a new full length album out - now available on iTunes - and a free download available on PureVolume. Take advantage!

Holiday Away.

One Direction goes Pop Punk. And more attractive (YES. I said it. More attractive.). And well, more talented.

Name: Holiday Away
Genre: Pop Punk

Alrighty, so all original this time ha. No covers. And I must say, the lyrics are great. I love the songs. I love what the music has to say. It's all something that can be taken in by everyone. Now as for the singing.. Eh. But as I said before, sometimes imperfect singing adds to it. You feel like they are real. Not saying Holiday Away shouldn't try to approve, but you catch my drift.

As for their instrumental, much better. Love the guitar. Love the drums. Love it all. It's all very balanced. Well played, and not to mention something to rock to. My head is literally bobbing right now. I don't head-bob. Just fyi.

Go listen. You might find yourself pleasantly surprised. 3 free downloads on PureVolume. Who can complain about free music?
