Website: buildingromerock.com
Why they are awesome: I may be a bit biased on this (STL pride!), but their music is funny and catchy. Plus these guys are hard workers (I’ve seen them handing out flyers for shows a couple times while waiting in line for a concert at The Pageant). On top of that, this band took the time to thank fans individually on the last album, Nightmare, including yours truly.

Why they are awesome: This band is a new favorite of mine, thank you to AP Magazine (100 Bands You Should Know)! They are interesting to listen to because they use a variety of sounds including 8-bit digital sounds (aka: video game sounds). Also, if you go to this band's website and sign up for the mailing list you can get 4 FREE downloads!

When they started: 2002
Where they are from: Greenville, SC
Genre: Punk Pop
Latest Album: Quota EP
Website: eleventyseven.com
Why they are awesome: Their music is fun, positive, and relatable. They sound a bit like a mix between Blink 182, Motion City Soundtrack, and Hellogoodbye. Also, I met these guys at a recent show at my school; they’re pretty much the nicest guys ever and they really enjoy what they do. If you want something enthusiastic to party to then go check them out right away. PS: If you ever get the chance to catch them at a show, stop buy and say "Hi" at their merch stand; It’s worth it!

A Question for the Readers: What is one band you think everyone should know?
A Question for the Readers: What is one band you think everyone should know?
To answer the question. I believe everyone should know Jon Gooch, More commonly known as Spor and Feed Me
ReplyDeleteSpor is pure Drum and Bass while Feed Me does Electro House and Dubstep though he has done other genre's but those are under his many other aliases, to name a couple, he is also known as Final Reckoning and Unicorn.
He recently released a new EP under the name Feed Me called To the Stars, its great to listen to and is a must for any fan of electronic music.
