Get Carried Away - Desperate for Attention

hitthepit_myke — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 16:25:02 CST

Artist: Get Carried Away
Song: Desperate for Attention
Album: Braving the Storm (2008)
Label: unsigned

These dudes recently hit me up on Myspace. Like everyone else, I get hundreds of band requests a week. Unlike everyone else, I actually listen to them. Some are decent, some are absolutely terrible, and then every now and then I get a band like Get Carried Away.

The first song to play was a new one called "Desperate for Attention." It immediately caught my ear. Brutal drumming, heavy fast guitars, ZAO vocals. As I listened further into the song, suddenly I realized with a little bit of direction and a much better recording, these dudes will be going somewhere. They already have the talent and the ear for heavy music. They just need a little bit of direction and flow. At a couple certain points in the song it feels like its all over the place but then they come and redeem themselves. I'm actually quite interested to hear more from this band in the future. In a year if they are all still together and doing what they have to do, I'm sure they'll be touring non-stop.

Listen: Heaven Shall Burn - Endzeit

Metal at its finest. This song is brutally heavy and is written to perfection. Definately if you get a chance click on the link above and check it out. The song is put together very well for a metal song, sorry hardcore fans, no breakdowns here, straight metal.

Artist: Gwen Stacey

Viewed their myspace and came across this new song for their upcoming release. Smooth transitions, standard hardcore vocals and very good breakdowns. Never was bored listening to this song and I look forward to this album. I may actually have to do a full cd review on it cause i was so into this song.

8/3/07 White Stripes review.....pretty freakin BAD ASS! Not what you would expect!

"When I heard the song "Icky Thump" on the radio I was not a huge fan! In fact, I had no inclination about buying the album. On a quick trip into Newbury comics to pick up some new shades, I heard a few songs of the CD. I liked what I heard. I brought it home, cranked up the stereo (the only way to listen to music) and enjoyed what some have related to as the sound of Led Zeppelin....."

With Blood Comes Cleansing - Lash Upon Lash

hitthepit_myke — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 19:09:14 CST

Artist: With Blood Comes Cleansing
Song: Lash Upon Lash
Album: Horror (2008)
Label: Victory Records

Think of your standard "metalcore" song and thats exactly where this ranks. Done very well though, with low vocals and then your every now and then high vocals. Very much like their old stuff but the recording is much better. I'm a fan cause I enjoy this type of music, but it gets old. I hope the whole record is not the same format as this one song.

Take a listen for your self

Song Reviews

hitthepit_myke — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:41:16 CST

I have created this section for song reviews. I know most of you probably are very busy individuals and like me, don't have time to listen to complete albums. That is why I created this section. I'm constantly listening to new music on myspace or pure volume from bands I either know very little about, or have never heard of. This section will give us the opportunity to listen to individual songs and to write about them. This way, it gives everyone else some insight into other peoples opinions on certain bands. Hell, maybe even some of us will go out and purchase the album based on a song review.

Enjoy
Myke
