Friday Night Fever

Friday Night Fever is a Pop/Rock band blasting out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Formed from the remains of the two unsigned bands, Forever in a Day, and Saving Litchfield, they have a contagious sound and charismatic stage performances. It's really not hard to figure out why these guys are progressing so quickly in the music world.

Performing at various Bamboozle shows with PowerPunk Band Forever the Sickest Kids with current songs from the EP like "Glamour Kills", they offer something you really don't hear often in today's bands. Harmonizing, with melodies and utilizing lyrics that make you smile a little every time you hear a song and with such an infectious pop beat. A "Summer" song! as well as the popular "She felt like destroying something beautiful" are great examples. I could compare this to All Time Low, but it would not be accurate because on their tracks the vocals are much stronger. These alternative rock tunes catch you the moment the tracks start.

Friday Night Fever has been featured and praised by Alternative Press Magazine, Absolut Punk, The Daily Chorus, and PureVolume.com top new music chart. I had the opportunity to interview the guys, and besides being a blast to speak with they are filled with dedication and ambition. They also agreed to give us a signed band T-shirt to go with the article.

You can find FNF on YouTube, Facebook, Myspace.com/FNF and ITUNES. As FNF puts it; "This is one fever you can't sweat out" Remember to request Friday Night Fever on your local radio stations so the band can get greater circulation of their music!

Trading Voices

Trading Voices is a project by J Minus drummer Dylan, who brings a sound that's raw and organic, a cool combination of The Wreckers and Corinne Bailey Rae. The band features female vocalist and songwriter Taylour Chanel as well as vocalist Bee Simonds out of Washington state. The lyrics have a melody all by themselves, they are beautiful yet relatable, the girls voices mesh so well with the lyrics and background music. I actually enjoyed listening to this band. You can hear their tracks on http://www.myspace.com/tradingvoicesmusic Trading Voices album is available on iTunes.

Also check out the Indie/Alternative band J Minus at www.JMinus.com Mixing sounds together you may associate with Death Cab for Cutie and Augustana's vocals.  The Seattle based band consists of Trevor ( vocals, keys), Chris (vocals, guitar) Dylan ( drums) , Matt ( guitar) and Myer ( bass). The collection of styles and personalities seems apparent in their sound, which is a plus in today's carbon copied musical styles of more recent bands.

Alexx Calise

I was asked to review a pop/rock album and I was a little unsure of what I was going to hear because I hear so many replicas of artist Orianthi, Rihanna so on and so on.

What I have to say is Alexx got right what Ashlee Simpson attempted a few years back ( yes before the "BitterSweet World" and "I Am Me" album") and Lesile Roy tried with Unbeautiful.

By fusing so many genres in this album there is literally almost a song for every type of listener. "See You again" feeding those pop/rock lovers, "Anything Goes" curving those that fall more towards the electronic club tunes... like Ke$ha, "Break Me" one of my favorite songs on the album, pop/rock and full of attitude! "Cry" a slower beat but able to showcase more of Alexx's rough but beautiful vocals, I really enjoy this song.
 

Now for these next three songs I'm going to have to say "Move over Halestorm" because "Get Used to It", "Good Enough" and "Saying Goodbye" caught my attention more than any Halestorm song has.

I love that Alexx's lyrics you can actually think about, lyrics you can relate to, more than a cheesy four letter word continually repeated... Thank You for replenishing the world with some music from a strong, confident female artist whose song's actually have substance.

Alexx is a rock singer/guitarist/songwriter based out of Los Angeles Ca. but originally from Fort Lauderdale Fl. Her new album is "In Avanti" produced by Grammy nominated
producer Luigie Gonzalez.
 

With songs in heavy rotation on several MTV and VH1 shows, featured in Blender Magzine and Guitar World, having 100,000 downloads in five days on Bit Torrent site and FrostWire.com  and circulating on thousands of different charting radio stations, and with her song "Morning Pill" in a One Tree Hill promo... this girl is going far fast.

Check out her new song "Break Me" and tell the Orlando Hit station 106.7 and Rock 101.1 to Play Alexx Calise!

The AP Tour 2010 at HOB Orlando

The AP Tour 2010 at HOB Orlando
The Summer Set, There for Tomorrow, Every Avenue, The Cab, NeverShoutNever

Sunday April, 18th 2010 was one of the biggest shows at House of Blues this year as of yet with the AP Tour and headlining artist NeverShoutNever. Getting to an already formed line at 2:30 in the afternoon outside the House of Blues I realized it was going to be a long afternoon when by 3:30pm everyone's clothes were drenched in rain and our umbrellas were doing a horrible job of keeping anyone dry. By 5:30 the line stretched nearly the entire length of the West Side section of DownTown Disney, both wet and excited we started to move slowly around the venue until I was submerged in the middle of a pit crowded with youth wanting to hear some great music.

At the first sound of drums behind the legendary HOB curtain's the crowds' screams began to grow larger and the curtain swung open to reveal the upbeat band The Summer Set who played a fun set and I must say being a girl I love the fact that they have a female drummer rocking the stage , I don't see that very often.

Now Hey Monday was the next band lined up to perform but as all the opening acts are subject to change the band There For Tomorrow played in place. The lead singer showcased his love of the stage and his skill with the guitar as well as a great set from the whole band. But something
interesting I noticed about this lead singer was when I looked around I noticed the majority of the audience screaming over him had wrist bands on (over 21). hmmm:)

Next was the punk/rock band Every Avenue who was personally my favorite of the three bands that had performed so far. They got the crowd going crazy when the band performed "Where Were You" and the lead singer let completely loose when he crowd surfed and climbed in the pit.

The Cab with lead singer Alex De Leon was such a cool calm artist with such smooth vocals that the crowd was wild for every song the band performed from "Vegas Skies" to "Bounce". The song "One of those Nights" had some company when lead singer to The Summer Set lent his voice to part of the infectious song that had the crowd lifting people up so they could crowd surf, which worked out for them because they were dropped at the front of the stage where Alex jumped down into to the crowd, so they got a very good view...

It's getting later and everyone is severely pumped and impatiently awaiting for the curtain to reopen one final time when we start hearing the strums of an acoustic guitar behind the curtain and the sudden wave a screams began to crash in to the pit getting louder and louder until the curtain pulled away to reveal the ball of energy known to all of us as NeverShoutNever. Christopher Drew rocked the house with his indie/pop vibe and "What is Love" is still stuck in my head! I ventured upstairs where the merchandise was being sold and endless Wonka candy (yum:) when my friend grabbed my arm and dragged me to the exit of HOB where I noticed the lead singer of The Cab (Alex De Leon) stood talking to fans and taking photos, unfortunately my
camera was ill that night, but at least I can say I got a hug from the lead singer of The Cab.

I left the House of Blues really loving the experience I had and the music I heard. Of The night my favorite performance was The Cab and NeverShoutNever!!!!

The Royal and Mr. Fyner

Isn't it crazy when something is stamped 'in'you can't run from seeing it everywhere you turn! Well it's the same in music, when a certain sound is popular it's as if every striving artist is stuck in that save zone of similar melodies and tones. I love to hear music that grabs my attention really makes me listen like the Orlando band The Royal Streaming with amazing possibilities mixing classical with a cohesive collaboration of alternative rock grasping your ear in just the first 30 seconds of the song Timelinetime,which you can hear on the bands myspace. www.myspace.com/theroyal The Orlando band is made up of Chris on vocals as well as guitar and cello, Bradley on guitar,Kyle on keys and synth, Joel on drums and percussion, and Allen doing vocals and guitar. strong>Mr. Fyner and the Tech Ed Room,
This is a new punk rock band out of Wilmington, Ma.The guys of Mr Fyner are Buck on vocals and guitar,Dalton on drums, Vic on Synth and JB on bass. Their New EP Make friends with a Bear is available on iTUNES and you can check them out at www.Myspace.com/mrfyner

I Am Vassal

1. As an acoustic artist is there one particular artist/band you look up to or find inspiration from?
"I really look up to Bright Eyes and Death Cab For Cutie. They both have such depth to they're lyrics and are so musically talented. I guess you could say they are my biggest inspiration."

2. You play guitar, are you self-taught?
"I am sort of self taught. My dad helped at first, but after awhile I just kinda took it and ran with it."

3. What is the meaning behind 'I am Vassal'?
"In the Medieval times when a peasant owed something to a noble they become a servant to their noble lord. They were then called a Vassal. I feel like I am a servant to my lord so I Am Vassal."

4. Do you play any other instruments?
"I can play piano or synth, bass, harmonica, drums, mandolin, banjo, and ukulele. I taught myself all of them, but I am best at guitar, bass, uke and piano."

5. What genre of music do you consider yourself?
"I don't really think genres are important. Music is a form of expression and you shouldn't classify that into different things. I wouldn't want to attract just a group that likes 'indie'' or 'acoustic' music. I want to attract people that like just music in general."

6. How would you describe your sound?
"The sound of my music is calm I guess. It is something you can listen to when you are just relaxing. I try to not make it boring, but not like full of energy, so I guess it is just relaxing."

7. What is one artist/band you would love to see in concert this year?
"I would love to see Death Cab if they do a tour."

8. What is your hope to accomplish in music?
"I just hope I can reach people with my lyrics. I want people to be able to relate to the words I sing. I would love to go as far as I can with it and if it happens then awesome, but if not then I will always use it for a way to get my emotions out."

9. What is your “Theme'' song right now?
"hmm... I honestly have no idea."

10. Where is your dream place to perform?
"I don't really have a single place I would love to perform. I guess I would like to play shows at like a House of Blues, but other than that there's no specific place."

The GoodNight Anthem and The Honesty

The GoodNight Anthem

Just in time for spring comes some new, lively and satisfyingly punk/rock music. Out of Philadelphia with influences including MatchBox 20 and Third Eye Blind comes the band The GoodNight Anthem. They have been featured on “Absolute Punk” and the “Daily Chorus”, with songs played on the MTV shows “Next” and “Parental Control’.

Fall Concert Series Finale

We closed the first Fall Concert Series on Saturday, December 19th 2009. Starting the show off was Broadway bound Bethany Burnette, whose huge voice was wonderful for the holiday classics she performed, warming up the audience and giving everyone the feel of the season. Bethany closed her performance with one my favorite holiday songs "Where are You Christmas" from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Our next artist was the talented and beautiful Briana Waldorf accompanied by her rock'n guitarist Ali. Briana had a wonderful sense of performing and although she had lost her voice on the previous day, she still achieved a great set. She sang along side the acoustic guitar, then taking the guitar herself playing big radio hits by Katy Perry and Colbie Caillat. This personable artist took the time to sign each CD she gave us and took pictures with everyone.

You can buy Briana's debut single "My World" on iTUNES...

Between the Trees and Jonas Sees in Color

Between The Trees

With the holiday season rushing in and nothing seeming to slow down, I've recently found the car radio to be my greatest companion. Turning up the volume a few weekends ago I heard an indie/rock sound streaming through the speakers. What I was hearing was a raw performance by Orlando's indie/rock band Between the Trees. Formed in 2005, the members include Ryan Kirkland on Vocals/Guitar, Josh Butler on drums and Jeremy Butler on bass.

The band appeared on the Vans Warped Tour and is currently touring with Mercy Mercedes and Dangerous Summer. They were also one of Alternative Press “100 band's you need to know”. Their second and newest album entitled Spain was released on August 11, 2009. I highly recommend you pick this CD up, but if you’re lacking cash at the moment, don't worry just check their music out on their MySpace page. When you're able spend your cash, but it! Artists need to eat too! Check out their myspace account: http:www.myspace.com/BetweenTheTrees

Jonas Sees in Color

I will have to say, just the title of this band made me a little curious to hear their sound. They describe the meaning behind the title by saying "Our name is basically a metaphor.
In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, the main character lives in a black and white world. When he is chosen to take on the responsibility of the hopes, thoughts, and feelings of his entire village, he finally begins to see in color."

The band comes from Greensboro, NC with members John, Jonny, Meagan Beth, Mikey, Owens, and Ryan. Their full-length album hit iTUNES, Amazon, and BestBuy.com on September 29th. Their sound is similar to This Providence, The Academy Is and Cartel. Check this rock/pop band out on their MySpace account. http://www.myspace.com/jonasseesincolor

Inner Youth Rocks at the Library

Saturday, October 24 2009 was the date of the first rock band Inner Youth to jam at 'Rock at the Library' held at Cagan Crossings Community Library in Clermont! In my opinion it was a complete success, almost every visitor that came into the library had to ask who the 'great' band was playing and had to stop in and take a listen. At 1pm we had a crowd of fans waiting outside for the band but due to some unexpected issues we did not get the show in full swing until around 1:40pm. Regardless, the audience and library visitors had nothing but positive feedback for the band.

Marcus was on vocals and guitar, Javi was on the bass guitar. Not only is he humble and amiable, he rocked the bass! Mike was our drummer, and seemed to be full of cool energy.
Everyone who walked in couldn't help but notice, and it also helped that he was an awesome musician!

After the show Javi, Mike and Marcus stayed to take photos with fans that had came to watch them perform. You can see those photos on the LCLS events photo gallery as well as photos of the band.

To catch this wicked band keep updated on their myspace page and even send them a message to see if they are performing a show not listed! www.Myspace.com/InnerYouth

Thank You Mike Dinkins for all the help! As always thank you to Ms Judy Buckland and the Lake
County Library System for allowing me to put the series on!

Friday Night Fever

If you haven't already seen the fliers, on Saturday, October 24th Orlando's own Inner Youth will be having a jam session at the Cagan Crossings Community Library. The show starts at 1 p.m. with free admission. Sounding similar to bands Rise Against and Angels and Airwaves with a hint of Nirvana. Don't Miss these guys! MySpace.com/InnerYouth

FNF or Friday Night Fever, five guys I stumbled upon and noticed their sound is complete “car tunes”! You know that music you turn up way too loud and sing out of tune 'cause it makes you feel good! A mix of Forever the Sickest Kids and Sum 41.

This powerpop/rock band from Fort Wayne, Indiana was formed from the remains of Saving Litchfield and Nothing Less. FNF has already been featured in Alternative Press Magazine, Substream Magazine, Absolute Punk, The Daily Chorus.They made it to number 1 as unsigned band on PureVolume.com.

At the moment the band needs $1000 to get to Texas performances, so if you can, buy their songs on iTunes.com/ FridayNightFever.You can also donate if you wish, to the band at their PayPal account fnfmebaby@gmail.com. Let them know your name if you donate and possibly you could be listed on their album's “Thank You's”.

There is a statement on their myspace I came across that I really liked “This is one fever you can't sweat out!"

Leesburg Library Concerts

This past Saturday, Sept.26th, was the first date of the Lake County Library Concert Series in Leesburg. Being the first show at a venue and area I'm not truly familiar with, I didn't know what to expect. There were unplanned location swaps and a frenzied race to get proper equipment in the heated afternoon and a massive hope for a bigger audience.

When the artist began to perform it seemed well worth the efforts.Our first performer was lovely Nikki Goodrich, one of the most kind-hearted female artists I have met in a very long time. Nikki's voice was pure and crisp as she sang. I really enjoyed Ms Nikki!

Our second performer was Chad Fernandes a wonderfully amiable and talented artist with a powerful voice. Very enjoyable to watch!

Finally we had Sean Evan, with a guitar strapped across him and standing in front of the microphone he had a great personality and humorous attitude. Sean was an amazing rock vocalist and an insanely accomplished guitarist. He was so much fun to watch perform!

Now the one amusing thing about being behind a show and not in it, is you get to see performers personalities towards each other and their unexpected situations. And I have to honestly say these were an awesome trio of artist each showcasing a different genre of music, with a great love for what they do and respect for their fellow artist.

I have to give a huge thanks to the Leesburg Library for allowing
the event and to Mss Judy Buckland, Jessica Luby and Jacob Starks for all the help with the crazy show!

Let’s spread the word for the next show, these remarkably talented musicians need a much bigger crowd!!!

Happy September Music Addicts!

I could spend time asking how your summer went but the answer is "It was too short and now I have too much homework!" So since we have that out of the way let me introduce you guys to a uniquely talented acoustic artist. Those of you that have heard of him will understand when I say I'm out of words...- 'NeverShoutNever'.

This is the alias of nineteen year old Christofer. His big exposure came... yes, from the internet. A big thanks to MySpace! He began performing as 'NerverShoutNever' in September 2007.

He toured alongside big names such as The Cab, Mercy Mercedes, We the Kings and Forever the Sickest Kids on the Wonka Tour that made a stop at the Lake Buena Vista House Of Blues! This one of a kind big heart artist admires all his fans and takes time to acknowledge them! No matter the emotion he probably has a song to accompany you...I really enjoy 'liarliarpantsonbackwards' and 'I just laugh' NeverShoutNever is available on itunes now! myspace.com/NeverShoutNever

Linden, is a very talented group of singers and musicians coming out of Wisconsin. The group says Linden came from a song they each enjoyed, 'An Oak tree stands beside a Linden' from one of the group's favorite bands “I can make a mess like nobody's business''. Consisting of Kara on vocals, Casi on Keys/vocals and Steven on bass. The vocals of Linden are similar to a less hash not as hard VersaEmerge with musical styling similar to The Morning Of, Meg and Dia and pop's Kate Voegle.

Linden is currently in the studio working on their full length record! You can purchase their EP 'The Future Is...' on either itunes or the bands merchandise store at linden.bigcartel.com! I really enjoyed 'Attached' and 'reflections' which are posted on their MySpace.... Linden is a great pop band headed for a ranking in America’s top 40 countdown! myspace.com/Linden

It's Red, Sweet and Indie...

Meeting here again...

Maybe you guy's found your way to Crane's Roost for 'Red, Hot and Boom' this year to rock out the 4th with artist; Hey Monday, We the King's, Parachute and a band known as The Cab!

Originally from Vegas, a Decaydance artist, that I actually reviewed in full in the January '09' issue of the Today's Teen Newspaper. But for those who have no idea what I'm talking about or just forgotten what you've read, The Cab is one of
my favorite new bands. Combining alternative rock and classic pop making songs like 'Bounce' and Rihana's 'Disturbia' come to life. Especially, my choice 'That's 70's Song'!  The Cab is now embarking on their headlining tour 'What happens in Vegas' coming to Orlando's Social on July 31st.

Myspace is great, especially when you stumble (or maybe someone recommends) a really great local artist...

For example a lovely girl by the name of Briana Waldorf.
Her sound is pure pop, and in today's crazy world Briana is a wonderful role model for girls, something rare in a lot of artists today. If you have Jordin Sparks on your ipod playlist, then you'll love Briana Waldorf. She is currently in the studio, and her debut single 'My World' is now available on Itunes!

Now, how many of you are fans of John Mayer, The Fray or Death Cab for Cutie, who are all successful musicians and song writers? If that's a yes or even a maybe then check out Indie/Rocker Jeremiah Lloyd. Beside's having talent on the guitar and as a song writer, he's already collaborated with other Myspace
artist and performed at Venues like The Social and Backbooth. The song's 'You Never' and 'Dear Explorer' listed on his Mypace are pretty good and show he has a lot more ideas about music.

Check Jeremiah out at: http://www.myspace.com/JeremiahLloyd

'Till Next Time,
Happy Summer

Artist vs Poet, Let's Get It! and Who's David Garrett?

Hello Everybody,

June giving you a sunburn yet?
 
Alright, like I said let’s talk about Artist vs. Poet. A five member band out of Dallas, TX lead singer Tarcy Thomason originally posted a MySpace bulletin announcing his desire to start an acoustic project and the first reply was from the now guitarist/ vocalist Craig Calloway. Recently signed to Fearless Records, this Do- It -Yourself band doesn't lack charisma.

Their sound blends in to the hundreds of other punk/alternative bands. When I listen the tune isn't stuck in my head for the next hour. I think Artist Vs. Poet has a lot of potential but for the time they don't have a memorable sound just yet. 'Runaway' is a punky pop song yet I think the band is still missing something. They are good but not yet addicting!

Now, I came across a unique group also signed to Fearless Records who is both creative and striving to make something new and original. Mixing club pop/punk and R&B the band 'Let's Get It' is similar to 'Forever the Sickest Kids' and 'Usher' with instrumental styling similar to that of 'Fall Out Boy' as in their song 'Duck Duck Grey Goose' which is my favorite. www.PureVolume.com/LetsGetIt
 
Vocalist Joe Gilford recently said "Sometimes our music scene feels like it all just runs together. We really like what people have been saying about us. We think our music is something you haven't heard yet."

This band has great potential, if you like club pop/punk and R&B you will have to go see 'Let's Get It' when they are performing at The Social on June 28th. Have Fun!


David Garrett 
Defiantly not the typical and definitely not what I've been writing about, bringing a pop/rock twist to the music that most of you probably ignore...David, a pop/rock violinist from Germany, is erupting in the states.
 
David Garrett, yes performs beautiful classical pieces, but I was caught by his cover of pop and rock legends like AC/DC, Michael Jackson even Metallica and Queen.  My favorite is his cover of 'Smooth Criminal' by Michael Jackson.

Take a listen at http://www.last.fm/music/David+Garrett/_/Smooth+Criminal?autostart

As said by BBC Music Magazine"David Garrett is already the stuff of legends – in him is enshrined an entire corpus of virtuoso violin art, expounded with a fearsome beauty beyond comprehension."
 
In case anyone wants to know, David will be in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records, as the fastest performance ever of the 'Flight of the Bumblebee' clocking in at an amazing '66 seconds'. This artist is an addiction and filled with talent, he will be performing at the Hard Rock Live on October 6th, and yes you might just see me there...http://david-garrett.com/

'Till next time,
Gotta love Music

Battle of the Different Bands: School Boy Humor, Mayday Parade

Hello out there,

I've been hearing so many replica bands lately who seem like they're doing something different, but they're just doing bad imitations of more popular band's. It irritates me when I can't remember what songs go with what band, 'cause a large amount are starting to sound alike! Okay...

Now I have a few bands I think you guys should try out, School Boy Humor. Yeah, thoughts of 'No Way' were creeping through my head until I heard a fun pop/punk tune that made me take another listen to their album 'Don't Look Back'!

From Little Rock, they are signed to Vagrant's Record with producer, Geoff Rockwell, who also worked on Forever the Sickest Kid album. This band is definitely one for a fun mood when you want to hear a great pop/punk tune like the band's song 'Camera Shy'.

Have a listen: PureVolume.com/SchoolBoyHumor

Now, for anyone who likes rock vocals and an alternative sound, then my I suggest a dose of Mayday Parade and their song 'When I get Home'.

The band spent time on the Van's Warped Tour and Released A Lesson in Romantics on July 10, 2007. Derived from the merger between the band's A Kid named Chicago and Defining Moment, the band is signed to Fearless Records. Do you like Boys Like Girls? Do you enjoy Kings of Leon? Try Mayday Parade.

PureVolume.com/MaydayParade

Also I heard a band: Artist Vs. Poet, I like the song 'Runaway', but is that the only good song? What do you guy's think of this band?

Until Next Time,
Gotta have music

Hey Monday

Pop / punk / Indie rock 

Blasting out of West Palm Beach, Florida is a pop/rock band Hey Monday! The lead Vocalist, Cassadee Pope, while still in high school was discovered at a regional music conference; she then drew the attention of A&R executives with her vocals, using comparisons of Avril Lavigne and vocalist Haley from Paramore. A band was formed consisting of Jersey bass guitar, Mike-lead guitar, Alex-rhythm guitar, Ellliot-drums and a now nineteen year old Cassadee Pope. They're referred to as 'Hey Monday'.

Their current singles include the 2008 release of 'Homecoming' and the 2009 release of 'How you love me now'. The group has been touring since September 2008, prior to the release of 'Hold On Tight' in October 2008. Hey Monday was a part of the Why So Serious? Tour with The Providence and Rocket to the Moon from 9/11/08 -9/28/08. As well as the Hot Topic Acoustic Tour with We The Kings and Cash Cash from 1/12/09 - 1/20/09.

Hey Monday is currently rockin' out on the north American Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour with Fall Out Boy from 4/3/09 - 5/17/09. They will once more invade the United Kingdom when on tour with We The King's from 5/22/09 - 6/1/09.

The band made an appearance on the Citizens FOB mix tape: Welcome to the New Administration '2008', and Cassadee paired with The Cab for a mixed version of The Cab's song 'Take My Hand'.

Cassadee most recently appeared in the music video for 'America's Suithearts' by Fall Out Boy.

Hey Monday has a fun punk/rock sound and a feel good album. If you enjoy Avril Lavigne, Forever The Sickest Kids, Mercy Mercedes or Paramore then you'll rock out to the infectious beat that is Hey Monday.
